 You are right, it is nicer with your colors, and more pleasant to read.

 I'm glad you like it.
 I replaced the gnome icon with the Ubuntu logo and I include the
 taskbar icons as you suggest.
 I also modified some other icons (mostly actions and status icons):

 If you want I can send you the theme, so you (and everyone who want)
 can test it and send me some feedback.
 I'll work on the theme later and inform you on the progress.

 nice ! By the way, looking at this screenshot, I was thinking this 
 theme is getting better and better, but still lack some brown/orange, 
 and it gave me this idea to improve it a bit : have the windows' 
 bottom orange like the tabs' top : 
 http://yann.universfantastiques.org/ubuntu/new-wave-test-windows-bottom.png. 
 What do you think ?
 Sorry, it's not a complete mockup... I'm not an artist and it would 
 take me some time to make the other windows bottom orange... But you 
 get the idea with this little window.

 Yann Dìnendal
I think it is not a bas idea at all. I'm not sure the hue of the orange 
is perfectly appropriate, but it looks like a good thing to try.

 Btw the orange bottom line is too distracting. Isn't the button the main
 thing you should see or the orange line at the bottom?


 Anton


well... yes, I think you are right, I hadn't thought about that ! Such
orange should be on important parts of the windows, inside the window, where
the user interact. But still, I think the theme lacks some ubuntu brown and
orange. So we must think of other parts where we can hilight in orange.

This is most likely due to the fact that you have the theme in .themes

Hi,

Actually, the ubuntu one is the best of all. Unlike Vista, it is shiny
and colorful. Unlinke OS X, it keep the notebook visual and make it
easier to figure the relation between tab and content.

The upper line can be changed, but please don't go backwark like Vista.

And in general, please don't care (that much) about other OSes.

[ubuntu-art] petition for more descriptive email subjects

2008-05-15 Thread Matthew Nuzum
Hi, I'm excited to see the flurry of activity and can't wait to see the results.

For those of us following along, it would be far easier to keep up on
things if there were more descriptive subjects. So instead of 50
emails with the subject New Wave maybe just be more specific. Need
help with tabs on New Wave or something like that.

Also, if the context of the email starts to change, it's absolutely
appropriate to change the subject line. For example, it was about tabs
but now we're talking about transparency, just change the subject to
New Wave title bar transparency.

I'm not trying to start another 50+ thread rant like top posting
subject, it's not the end of the world, but it would help me to keep
abreast of what is going on.

You're quite right, the logo/text definitely needs anti-aliasing. To be
honest I'm not much of an artist, these are just rough mockups of ideas
I've had (influenced by ideas I've seen elsewhere). I probably will
anti-alias and generally touch up the mock-ups, but as for making it
look really professional, and indeed making the real thing that would
have to be done by someone who knows a thing or two about usplash
Anyone like that on this list who might want to take up one of these
concepts, or come up with their own for Intrepid? Failing that, any good
guides to making usplashes on the net? I could learn...

 I haven't registered it because don't know to and I've never done this
 before. It is a good idea though and I will see what I can do about it.
 Can anybody help? Cory, Who, Kenneth?

Re: [ubuntu-art] petition for more descriptive email subjects

 For those of us following along, it would be far easier to keep up on
 things if there were more descriptive subjects. So instead of 50
 emails with the subject New Wave maybe just be more specific.

Nuzum, as usual, spot on.

While we are at it, I would add that _IF_ you feel it is important
enough to send out to 300, 400, or 1000 people, please take the time to
edit the quoted text down to the distilled minimum required.

Remember, this isn't Twitter, an instant messenger, or IRC chat room.
This is a mailing list and there are many others on the list.  For those
with hundreds if not thousands of emails, try to keep things as
condensed as possible.

I would also add that Launchpad has mailing lists for projects so that
the minute details can be discussed ad infinitum with the parties that
need to receive the information.  Further, you can put comments into
your Bazaar change logs for everyone to read.

Sincerely,
TJS

Re: [ubuntu-art] Tabs

2008-05-15 Thread saltedlight
I think you did check the other tab styles on other Ubuntu themes. The
one you have used in that theme is based on Murrine (i think).
One theme that I really like and use often is Glossy (modified) and this
just because I like the tabs. It's by default in Ubuntu install, so if
you did not deleted it, you should have it. ;)

Hello everyone,

I've made a LP project for the theme with a branch. Could you try it out
and see if everything is ok? You are welcomed to join the team.

https://launchpad.net/anton

I just don't know why the url contains my name. Can I change that?

Anton, I just requested to join the team.
Can we work on the icon theme there? I'm asking you because it would
be much easy to collaborate if we have the theme in one place.

I think that is good if we import the source code into LP via Bazaar.

ps: ps: I will try to rewrite the gtkrc for murrine-svn. I think that we
should choose as soon as possible the engine to use.

I've already imported the code:

https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-new-wave/anton/devel

or look at the trunk.

As a easier way of using bzr I reccomend you install Olive (gtk GUI for
bazaar) from you Add/remove applications ...

Still some people prefer the terminal based version.

 ps: I'm trying to make a deb package for the theme. For me it's the
 first time to make a deb package-theme, I not guarantee anything at the
 moment. :-) Anyone is welcome. :-)
 A question:
 in the theme package, insert only metacity+gtkrc or also the
 configuration of gconf (for change the metacity opacity for
 inactivewindow)?
   

I'd like to say again that grabbing sources from existing packages to
use as a base will be the best idea rather than trying to figure it all
out from scratch. Example look and the ubuntustudio-icon-theme are 2
good places to start.

[ubuntu-art] New Wave (icon theme)

 I see only one mail :). The icon is good and is one step in the right
 direction (the current logout-screen (not for the panel) icon was just
 taken from Tango). Keep up the good work and maybe talk with Seba
 (a.k.a. spg76) and Francois about synchronising your work. About the
 shade look at the example palette at the wiki.

I have thrown together another three icons, see attachment ..
Using Inkscape is also not as easy as I imaged ;)
Anyway, I'm not an artist .. maybe you can use the icons :)

keep working ..
