I don't think that they aren't fitting well with Breathe-Set. Normaly they will be seen in smaller sizes and it's looking nice, doesn't it? Okay ... there are missing only 3 icons for completion.

Being done? That will be quite some time off. 1.0 will be when we reach parity with the FreeDesktop spec. 2.0 will be parity with the GNOME set. Beyond that, I haven't given much thought. Breathe will be in the repos for Karmic. We'll be trying to get it in soon and we should be able to update more before Ubuntu feature freeze. As for the rest of your post all sounds fine.

[ubuntu-art] [Breathe] Cruft, stuff and other junk...
So I'm going to apologize for this non-cohesive email ahead of time. There's just alot of little junk to address. :P I uploaded: appointment-soon (the 1st one) help-about preferences-system-indexed preferences-desktop-screensaver video-display stock_contact folder-remote (I'd like to create a new "connected" image. that thing under the folder) and a system-search based on Oliver's submission (though I think the turquoise color needs serious help). Where has Oliver gone? @mac_v: Emotes are going along well. You have a ETA on the finished set? And note, while I like them I think at some point they will need a little something. Something just doesn't fit quite right. But they are 85% there. Also the Emblems are needing some love. Make emblem-symbolic-link white (still use some black/gray gradient on it) and I'll upload it along with emblem-favorite (the 1st one), emblem-downloads (though I'm not thrilled with the globe) and emblem-synchronized. emblem-important and emblem-unreadable have what looks to be more of a steeper bevel to them than the others. Correct that and I'll upload. Maybe they need a look closer to the ones used on Daniels mail-* and object-* icons? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/BreatheIconSet/Icons/Actions Yes. I think that's it. What's your thinking on the network-manager icons? Seems to have stalled a bit. @Sebastien: The 1st set of weather-* icons will be used. Just take into account the use-cases of the smaller sizes with regard to detail level. Any idea of when the final "new" glyphs and such will be done? I know mac_v wants to use them in places. They also have to be used on a few of Daniel's icons. Can you get together a keyboard for use with "video-display" to use as a new "computer"? @Daniel: It looks that with "stock_mail-import" you have refined the shadowing to be more in-line with the rest of the set. Please apply this to the other mail-* icons and I will upload. Also, the updates to the Nav buttons (changing the gradient to look like lighting is from above) should apply to stock_mail-import as well as the glyphs on mail-*. And sorry, I just can't like the "Transmission" icon. Just feels off. :( --The "folder" icon-- I'm really waiting to see more submissions here. We *cannot* make a switch now only to do this all over again in a couple of months. I'll let it go for a few weeks and make a decision as to how to proceed. In the meantime, Andrew, can you make the tab a *little* bigger (the on on the upper left) and get together the home and open versions? --The base "mime" icon-- Danny King's concepts were nice but things like the torn edge detail got lost quickly. A simple flat rectangle seems a bit boring. What else can we come up with. Maybe someone can assemble some stuff from GNOME-Look and places to compare what has been done. (please make it 1 image to look at. not a archived set of images) --Emblems-- mac_v has been working on these but I have a question. Where the emblems use real objects such as, a lock, I feel they should be as photo-realistic as the rest of the real icons in the set. Agreed? --Media-* icons-- Can anyone finish out the set based on Olivers previous work? --Use of Oxygen icons-- I know that a starting point for Breathe was using Oxygen icons but I feel we're starting to assemble a good group of guys and as such would like to try to not use them at all. *Totally* use them as inspiration, but I feel Sebastien's original icons have been great and on some levels the 2 sets just don't fit. Now I know Oxygen has multiple artists and this could simple be a case where some artists fit and others don't rather than the sets as a whole. Ok. Wow. Lots of stuff there. I think most of these are little issues but we can split if a subject becomes more important. -Cory K. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

It is a blurry line. Artwork submitted for default but not accepted as such will be considered for extra. At least I think it should be handled that way. Maybe at some point we should switch from what the submitters thought to what the decision makers at Canonical think. That is, move everything that is guaranteed to not make it as default to the extra submissions. -- 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

[ubuntu-art] Split Backgrounds
Hi! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Karmic/Backgrounds is _long_ and growing. It's becoming too easy to trigger the wiki's so called "surge protection" because of the many images. For example, if you open one of the full size links in a new tab while the page is still loading. I it wasn't for this technical reason that shouldn't exist, there would still be the fact that it's becoming unwieldy to edit. I think the intro/rules/how-to section should be left where it is, to replace the submissions sections with links to sub-pages: * [Submissions for the default background] * Submissions for the extra backgrounds package * [Abstract] * [Photos] With 2 pages for extra backgrounds to also split abstract/photos. Any concerns or alternative proposals? If not, I will do it in the coming week. -- 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
