I thought the discovery theme posted yesterday was absolutely brilliant. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art Hi! I made this mockup today: http://www.info.fundp.ac.be/~fde/ubuntu_intrepid.jpghttp://www.info.fundp.ac.be/%7Efde/ubuntu_intrepid.jpg It is not complete, and I'm not sure if the icons are the best choice, but this is pretty close to what I'd like Ubuntu to look like, especially the taskbars. And most of all, I would like the next Ubuntu to avoid using a UGLY GLASSY EFFECT on everything. That looks already old! The water effect was cool 5 or 6 years ago, but now it is time to move on.

Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately, my skills for theme creation are really limited - in fact, I never created one, and I'm only able to make pretty images like the one you have seen. However, feel free to create and lead a new theme team if you feel like it. Of course, I would be happy to help in anything you need - as long as it is not beyond my competence! Cheers, François Hi François, Unfortunately I have to admit that I don't have a slightest idea of how to code a theme but I do know to code in C so I can learn it over time. Is there a theme we will base New Wave or we will have to make a new theme engine like clearlooks, murrine and aurora? I think the theme we are trying to make is very close to clearlooks so we can make a fork and implement our own theme style (the buttons shape color, the other widgets). I would like to ask the ppl from the list if they could help with the decision on the engine problem (esp. Troy, and Who). Like you François I prefer to do the drawing (mostly on paper :)) but in the Linux world we don't have much of a choice, do we?

François I don't like the black very much (why do we need to follow Windows in everything? first the gloss, now the Vistaish black, even the gradient is almost the same). However, I LOVE the wallpaper, it gives the feeling of freedom to me and that's what Linux is all about! :) Do you have larger sizes around? Maybe we can make more variations of it, with different landscapes and colors that are installed by default.

Re: [ubuntu-art] New page on the Wiki
I really like darker colors for the bars... I even made black ones for myself... the paper planes are awesome for the idea of freedom... maybe we can use some kites too! -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Hi! I made this mockup today: http://www.info.fundp.ac.be/~fde/ubuntu_intrepid.jpghttp://www.info.fundp.ac.be/%7Efde/ubuntu_intrepid.jpg http://www.info.fundp.ac.be/%7Efde/ubuntu_intrepid.jpg It is not complete, and I'm not sure if the icons are the best choice, but this is pretty close to what I'd like Ubuntu to look like, especially the taskbars. Fran?ois, that theme is really nice! The black and white monocoloured icons work great on the top menu bar. My only suggestion would be to not make Applications, Places and System fonts in bold. I'm starting to think we can make a theme that pleases both people who like dark and light themes by mixing the Ubuntu Orange colours with dark menu bars which is both attractive and easy on the eye. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

[ubuntu-art] Original work.
Can we *please* see *some* original work for Intrepid? Not just pieces from GNOME-Look or the wiki. It really take no creativity to piece a couple of things together like some of the examples so far. Let's really show people something new. -Cory \m/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] Original work.
This is the goal of the Gre-Manity theme (now on the wiki). A new icon set and a new color scheme could go a long way. More help is needed in icon development. I like how many themes are being developed independently of each other; let's keep working on this. -Pitr Mayhew On Sat, May 3, 2008 at 6:25 PM, Cory K.

It really take no creativity to piece a couple of things together like some of the examples so far. Let's really show people something new. -Cory \m/ I think it may be worth discussing a theme which takes advantage of the compositing effects available to us. With Metacity's compositing engine coming along nicely, it could be worth considering a near future where just about everyone has the fancy effects. I posted a while ago about my current desktop theme with no window borders, which is very striking and possible entirely thanks to the use of drop shadows to divide windows. It saves space and looks great not by adding more, but by removing the apparent need for more. The borders exist to divide windows, but with the compositing effects doing that now, they are completely redundant! (Not that I think it is sane in the slightest for the window manager to handle drop shadows; that job should be left up to the individual themes). Besides the fancy effects stuff, I think the Metacity theme is a very important detail which could do with a lot more attention than people give it. One problem with the window themes is that they have no consistency with the contents of a window, such that a black window (for example) still has a big light grey border and an orange title bar. Turns out the nicest way to fix that is to remove the offending assumptive details altogether. A good theme makes the applications look good and clear, not itself. That's relatively easy with a GTK theme, since GTK generally /is/ the visible part of an application, but it is not as easy with the Metacity theme. Okay, that's my nonsensical rambling for today...

[ubuntu-art] Iconic Splash Screen- Intrepid Ibex
The Hardy splash screen / icon was amazing, and I think something like it needs to be done for Intrepid. There's a wiki on this now, at a subpage of http://www.ubuntu.com/wiki/Artwork/Incoming/Intrepid. If another splash can be done well, it will definitely help the art projects to continue around a more centralized theme. -Pitr Mayhew -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
