Also I doubt Hardy Herron will be using any dock, as the main focus with this release is stability and improvements, rather than innovation (as Compiz Fusion in Gutsy Gibbon). If we were to use a dock, I would recommend Avant Window Navigator anyway, with stacks, stacks plugger, built-in terminal, and tons of other extra features, it is very useful.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Where's the official proposed theme idea?
I really like the idea of transparent scrollbars over a decorated trough proposed by this theme. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Hardy/Alternate/Kerberos It's probably doable similar to how this guy has introduced transparency to GTK. http://cimi.netsons.org/blog/ On Friday 21 December 2007 02:51:14 Andrew Laignel wrote:To be honest I am not particularly keen on the current incarnation of the offical theme so far.

Interesting 2007/12/21, Jason Brower [EMAIL PROTECTED]: MeMaker, http://www.memaker.org, is a new program that implements avatar creation in the gnome evironment. But it depends on your artwork. To get an idea of what memaker can do you can check out this video here... http://brower.homelinux.org/memakervid.ogg Memaker is hoping to be a part of the Ubuntu default install giving people the ability to make a unique avatar to feature on the gnome display manager. Additionally, we plan to have it as part of the installer.We are in need of more artwork... especially themed work. If you look at the download of MeMaker you will see it has a base pack and a new cocohead theme. A new tangofied version of cocohead is also on the way. But we need more! Please help out! If we can get really good themed set for Ubuntu installer I think it would make a great first impression of Ubuntu and show that Ubuntu is a really integrated and good looking OS. Hope you guys can help out! Git it a try and see what kind of artwork we can come up with!

I know about every language BUT python, so I can try to learn python this weekend and assist in coding later if absolutely necessary; Would it be possible to work without the configurator? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Hardy/Alternate/BasicIdeals The Wiki has been updated to include a mockup with all current elements - and links to the SVG source and XCF source are directly below the image. I'll be downloading some themes that resemble mine (in their technical composition) and start to figure out how we could get this beast into a live environment! The XCF source is almost useless, but it can make life easy if anyone wants to make a mockup with icons text. The large mockup doesn't include the most recent requests (several of which will be integrated), but it gives the closest impression to what a full desktop would look like right now - barring the lack of widgets.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Anyone Remember this idea?
The idea of combining the themes has me curious. Although the theme we could see coming out of it might be less bold or concepty (is that even a word?), I could see something like that being a much more popular theme... I'm going to try a meshing of the two and see what we get. Expect results tomorrow or the day after. I'm also going to make this theme one possible with current technology - without the need for additional libraries. It will only take me a short time to make it, but if it proves more popular than Basic Ideals I'll put my other projects on hiatus to complete the new theme.

Please ignore the ugly notification-icons at top right and other glitches - it is all just photoshop mocking! Also, I didn't make any minimize/maximize-icons yet, I really don't think we should use the Vista-like ones... hehe, i thought the absense of buttons was deliberate. i like the idea of having no visible Minimise/Maximise/Close buttons when a window is inactive.. this reduces the graphical complexity of the desktop - something that should be encouraged where possible. this of course would require that they become active on a mouse-over event without bringing that whole window into focus. perhaps impossible in the current windowing context. cheers, julian -- http://julianoliver.com http://selectparks.net emails containing HTML will not be read.

Pretty much every shape in this except the panel background and wallpaper is made using SVGs. I may supply sources latter if anyone is interested in them. I didn't do windows yet (since I use Enlightenment, and don't want to change GNOME's theme right now), but I think this may be enough to start with. Anyway, please comment. I tried to make this a pleasing black/brown/orange theme. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com mailto: ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com
[ubuntu-art] GDM/Emerald suggestion
One of the most useful tools that I've used since I've started using Linux (coming from Windows) is the window always-on-top feature. However, I had been using Linux for several months before I discovered it. I found this emerald themehttp://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/radial?content=71352on gnomelook.org that has a button to the left to set a window to be always-on-top. I find it extremely useful and I would like to see something similar included in Hardy's theme. I don't know much about the capabilities of GDM themes and if this could be implemented. I suppose that even if Hardy included an emerald theme the GDM theme would have to have the same functionality and layout. I hope this is the correct place to make these kinds of suggestions. If not, could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks, Jonathan -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
