[ubuntu-art] Itrepid theme inspiration ?

2008-04-23 Thread Bharat Varma
Hi,

I am only an end-user of Ubuntu and I know squat about UI / UI guidelines or
even how to present what I have in mind using Gimp etc. Could never
understand how to use Gimp either :)

But I would like to draw attention to a visual style I have encountered for
Windows. I have used this myself (love it !!!) and I believe this visual
style is close to what the original hardy guidelines suggested in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/HardyDesign

http://lassekongo83.deviantart.com/art/Elements-VS-82691770

If there is anyone who can take a look at the visual style above, it would
be great.

I didn't know if it was okay to put screenshots of a Windows OS in the
/alternate link on ubuntu site. If it is, I will take permission from the
author and do that. If it is okay to include those screenshots as
attachments to this mailing list, I can do that too.

Hi,

I think nobody will blame you for using this screenshot which is, in my 
humble opinion, a really good example of how the black/orange theme for 
the next cycle should look like.

It reminds me of this one:
http://mossblaser.deviantart.com/art/Ubuntu-8-04-GUI-Design-Idea-72574609
but even better.

I also take advantage of this mail to repeat my opinion, which is that 
such a theme would be particularly nice if the colors of
controls/windows/system icons were parametrisable (see
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-art/2008-February/005171.html).

Cheers,

François

I think that the first one is awesome.  The clear dock at the bottom is a
nice touch
