[ubuntu-art] Early Breathe Submissions
Hi! We now have 3 items on the submissions page, all thanks to Sebastian Porta. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/BreatheIconSet/Submissions After talking with Cory, we decided that it's best if all submissions there are also announced to the list, so they can be discussed in the open. It's also a good idea to join us on IRC, #ubuntu-artwork. I already provided feedback to the artist on the first user-trash and the dictionary and don't want to repeat it here now. Cory and I are quite happy about the user-trash2. It provides a good impression of depth in the large size. This could perhaps be improved for smaller size by making the inner wall darker. The recycling logo is very nice on the large size, but perhaps the arrow heads need to stand out a bit more for smaller sizes. The shading on the main body gives a good impression of half-matt plastic. The border on the top is less convincing. Maybe it's just the lack of a shadow beneath it. The base of the bin needs to be darker. The rounded edge above the base would benefit from a smooth darker gradient. I'm not sure about the color, as I think we should avoid making everything orange, but we could get back it after other icons are in. We will likely need a few iterations, anyway. Cory was already willing to place it on the accepted icon page. With a few tweaks as mentioned above, I will agree :) -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Yes. I think the 2nd one is the direction we want to go. I guess various color options should be explored. Actually I think more /material/ options should be explored. If this is a realistic theme we should be thinking about what type of plastic, wood, metal or whatever it is, rather than what colour it is - right? -- - Danny King of Gleaming Pixel Web Design.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Kyūdō: Audience and Message
I know it's only for KDE - I said so... Thanks, I'll try pitivi. 2008/9/27 Michael Stephenson [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2008/9/27 Joshua Booth [EMAIL PROTECTED] There are only seven movie editors I can find. Cinelerra may be professional, but it has nowhere near the potential that the easy interface of Windows Movie Maker had. The only thing that is Gnome-based and that seems to have a nice interface is Kino, and it *doesn't even have a timeline. *How are you supposed to make a movie without a timeline? The only other program that does have a timeline is Kdenlive, but it's for KDE and for some reason crashes whenever I use it. Plus there hasn't been an update since 2007, and the latest news is from June 26, 2008. The new version was scheduled for release in March. And the year is almost through. It's definitely time for a new movie editor, one that has all the functionality of Kdenlive and the usability of Kino. FYI Kino is KDE based, not Gnome based. Have you tried Pitivi? It has a good time line, a very intuitive interface. It is lacking in features, but what it does do it does right. There is no need for a *new* movie editor, because when Pitivi gets there it will what most people want from a video editor.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Early Breathe Submissions
Here is my suggestion for the generic paper icon Some notes first: * I have only done the 256px size so far. Smaller sizes would have /much/ less detail (the left side would be simplified if included at all, the shadows would be darkened perhaps) * I have included a textured and a non-textured version. The texture was from Inkscape's built in patterns and is a bitmap so not desirable. I tried to trace another texture bitmap but it got far too complex and Inkscape crashed. * I'm not 100% sure about my shadows. * I won't attach the SVG yet as I've only done the 256px size and I've messed around with the layers - I need clean it up. * I welcome critiques and won't be offended if you don't think it fits in with Breathe! http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3127/2900480718_9c2f07dbb8_o_d.png I've also put it on the Discussion page of the Wiki. -- - Danny King of Gleaming Pixel Web Design.

New release: Dust 0.2! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/DustTheme As for the round WM buttons, consider them as placeholders as I was too lazy to port the Dust WM buttons onto the light one. :b (kwwii: I think I'm too late here, but if this new releases could be pushed for the community-themes that'd be awesome.)
