Re: [ubuntu-art] New Wave graphical guidelines
Hi, In this regard, about consistency of the theme, I have made some proposal of consistency between metacity-frame-menubar and application active in taskbar. http://img267.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nw1uu0.png http://img60.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nw2gc9.png Very good ! Further, I think that the active item of the menu must be a bit more clear. http://img367.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nw3ef0.png I agree, but please use orange rather than pink.

Re: [ubuntu-art] New Wave graphical guidelines
Salut François, The document is very good, but looks more like an exposé than a set of guidelines. For example, the choice of colour is hardcoded in guidelines. You should provide a complete palette, but let us choose the color during the design process. For example, i find the orange of highlighted item too bright so that it's not easy to read the text. Keep up the good work, we definitely needs direction :) Regards, Étienne. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] Dream Wallpaper
Hi, did you read some wallpaper guideline ? (like e.g. Tango, but Ubuntu might have its own). Your wallpapers are nice, but do they fit the background job ? The white is too bright imho. The lines are too sharp. You should add more smooth and blur in order to get something more useful when you work with your computer. Current version would provide a nice screensaver ;) Étienne. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] New Wave Menus (+ svg icon displacement)

Re: [ubuntu-art] New Wave - Proposal
Hi, Could you make the selected item gradient less pinkish and more orange/yellow ? Anyway, good work on the color. That's truly a good idea since black over white is more readable for most people.

Re: [ubuntu-art] New Wave
Hi, A quick note about engine limitation. Don't forget we'll have 2 years to get this theme perfect, for the next LTS. Until that, you can get compromise to get things for the other short term support releases. But don't hesitate to push ideas upstream in engine, even if that's not included yet for the next STS. :) I actually would like to see a theme growing during two years long in order to get a *very* professionnal theme for Ubuntu.

To test : backup /usr/share/themes/Human/gtk-2.0/gtkrc an replace it
with the attached one.
Please test and comment.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Incoming Feisty art
Hey guys !!! The new GDM theme is so nice ! You rock guy ! :D Wahoo !! I've never been so crazy about Ubuntu artwork !

Re: [ubuntu-art] Update-notifier icon
Hi Mark, I don't want agressive. The red hat example is far too annoying for my taste. And may be very disturbing. (Especially in development release, i sometimes let updates awaiting). The two points are : * Icon is not consistent with panel icon. I just had an idea : a package with the new label like in new directory. Or the same picto as in Add/Remove software + the new label. This will make sense and will be coherent with both panel icons and wide theme. * Icon does not clearly mean update available. See : the prefered app capplet icon refer to boxed cdrom software even if about 99, percent of softwares in the system are downloaded. The same way, the update icon should rely on a known relation between reality and concept. The idea i suggest above is quite good, altough, Ken might have better idea (or yourself !)

[ubuntu-art] Incoming Feisty art
Hi all, Some of you may saw the new feisty artwork arriving. This artwork is not stamped alpha. So, let's discuss about it :). As of today, only usplash and gnome wallpaper has been updated. First, i really like the new wallpaper. Even if i find it too pinky, i really love the smoothness of the picture. In contrary to dapper wallpaper, this one does not looks like a brown ulgy clone of Mac OS X wallpaper suite. So sweet :). About upslash. I do not like the new logo. the red is too pinky :|. And since i do not like Gtk Human progress bar, i don't like it on usplash. To be constructive, here are the point i dislike in this progressbar : * the tiny vertical seperators makes sense only for discret progress bar (with fixed step). It provide an idea of unit of progression and user wait the progress bar to push by one square. * The sharp orange does fit neither title brown nor wallpaper pink. Think consistent. * Also progress bar orange have huge accessibility issues (see bug about that). Since december, i lost my glasses i have to wait 'til march. It's a good test of accessibility in Ubuntu. Beryl helps. font-properties allows me to increase dpi up to 118 ! Even at such size, the text is hard to read on progress bar. Please update. Accessibility matters. Also, who made this artwork ? Is ubuntu-art only a place to comment new artwork ;) ?

Seeing Vista and OS X, Vista has nice face browser, but OS X has far far better transition. Screen flickering and other visual noise are far more ugly than typing username.

Welcome to the last-minute-rush we all enjoy since Dapper. For now, we must polish the dapper artwork for edgy. I suggest to add consistency to all that piece of artwork. The new usplash theme just added more inconsistency. That would be nice if we provide the **same** branding logo for usplash, gdm and gnome splash. According to sabdfl, gdm branding makes people happy (since hoary). We should use a similar version that fit 256 colors and use it for usplash and gnome splash.

Re: [ubuntu-art] My opinion about Edgy artwork
Hi, Red captions on GDM with errors like wrong username or password look very ugly. They don't look well and they're hardly visible. This bug is already reported. The worst change is new usplash. Linux users are used to watching useful informations about starting services. Now, I don't know where my computer crashed (which on Edgy's live-cd happens very often). Errors are shown. The picture looks bad. Simply, previous was better. Now, there is even no distribution name. Would be nice to have same branding for usplash and gdm. Is it possible in 256 colors ?

Re: [ubuntu-art] Progress update on the community process
Hello, I don't think I can use the same rounding for the progress bars. Ok, you're right. I distinct two kind of rounding : * One for scrollbars and sliders * One for buttons, combo and progressbar Obviously, progressbar has a very small radius. That would be nice to have a radius similar to buttons. That would distinct it from OS X. I wanted to keep the window frame a little brownish in order to have more contrast for the title. Orange didn't have as good a contrast. But yeah, I'll try this out more thoroughly. Did you test the contrast of progress bar ? Can use the same gradient for metacity title and progress bar ? Same gradient may give an overall consistency even with slightly different colours. Also, have you tryed using only brown ? a brown like the current metacity title (caramel) or like the brown you use for your metacity title ? Thanks.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Progress update on the community process
Hello, I agree with Who. The overall look'n'feel is quite better than the current Human. However, less rounded widgets should do a better distinctive design. That would make GtkSpinButton nicer. I really like the progressbar, there are far more readable. Droping tiny vertical lines is a very good idea :D. Also, i find that the darken bottom of window title bar is too dark, as well as the close button background. About scrollbar. Using color for both scroll and buttons might look good. But remember that orange is quite sharp. Mark said that long term widget should not be in sharp color, nor glassy. Also, a big big big point. Can you use less gray and more white or a sligthly oranged white ? I'm sure that a lot of people are fed up with gray. Using a widget background color other than gray would definetly make ubuntu looks distinctive.

[ubuntu-art] Re: SFX in future Ubuntu releases
Hello, It seems that some people here need a review of desktop technologies. Next gen linux desktop will be composed. Two solution stands : * Using the Composite extension of Xorg. This solution comes from Fedora and is supported by nVidia. This solution know a conceptual security hole. * Using a brand new Xserver built on top of OpenGL. Called Xgl. This xserver has two variant : Xglx which run on top of Xorg OpenGL implementation and Xegl which run on top of Egl, a bunch of software that use framebuffer, glitz and a bunch of other good techno. This solution does not suffer such conceptual security hole like current X11 because Xserver does not have full root access to card registry. I guess that Xgl is to X11 what Hurd is to other systems. On top of that xservers (starting with Xorg 7.1), we can run metacity composite_manager or compiz. Compiz is by far the most featured composite manager, but is quite unstable and under development. A Google Summer of Code project mentored by Ubuntu consists of Poorman Xgl i.e. Xgl over software rendering. So Ubuntu might explore Xgl, but we can't drop Xorg. Our solutions are : * Xorg + metacity * Xorg + compiz * Xorg + Xgl + compiz For now we can't know what techno will be used. I may have done mistakes.

Re: [ubuntu-art] A request
Hello, I don't condamn proprietary software users. But that's just as shame when people see Ubuntu coming with great professionnal art software such as Gimp and Inkscape, but artwork wasn't done with that tools. Does the pope preach for islam ? Can you share you files between Illustrator and Inkscape or between Photoshop and Gimp ? I guess not without loss, using transitionnal format that wont allow a rocking collaborative work or using import plugin that don't support such or such functionnality. Consider the problem of format openness. Please don't consider Free Software as lesser software. A bunch of artists use that software to do rocking art. That's often a matter of habits. However, I'm not one of those guys who wants to enforce people to use free software. Just use open format readable and writable with free software included in Ubuntu.

That might be Artwork/Team only. * Make a beautiful template. ArtworkTeam/PageTemplate is quite good. How should we handle Drafts, Evaluations, Propositions and Reviews ? Is that all the same ? AFAIK : * Drafts are temporary * Evaluations should remains because there might be useful later. The same apply to Propositions * Reviews must remains We must actually define what we work on. We need a page or a bunch of pages that define each part of Ubuntu artwork and document the way we have to work with it. e.g. a page for BootSplash theme pointing to a documentation for USplash theming.

[ubuntu-art] What is the power of artwork team on theme selection ?
Hello, Sorry for crosspost, but dholbach told me to tell ubuntu-devel about that matter.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Re: ubuntu-art Digest, Vol 11, Issue 46
Hello,
There is only one version which counts, which is the 600x400 (or
whatever) FINAL IMAGE that gets baked into the .so file. The value of
having a (for example) 1024x768 version is to see what it will
ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE when the framebuffer expands it to fill the screen.
That expansion is dumb (there's no smoothing going on) so the
example large-format version should be scaled up with a dumb scaling
algorithm so it gives a realistic view.
I understand your wish to test in the worse case, but really, people are
able to choose their resolution with gfxboot, powerpc automatically
choose the right resolution, CRT screen doubles neither row nor column,
LCD have smooth scaling for years.
However, i build 1024x768 picture with same colors using convert. I
published them as *.1024x768.png at
http://bersace03.free.fr/pub/ubuntu/dapper/usplash/ .
I use my updated Makefile i attached to build all these 8 picture
easily. Put you source pngs in [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the PNGS variable. Then Type
make 1024x768 and it will build .1024x768.png pictures. type make
640x400 and the same appear for 640x400. make thumbs generate thumbs
from 640x400 resized to 320x240. make build .so for each PNGS. make
install to copy them to /usr/local/lib/usplash and add alternative for
these. No uninstall target yet :).
Wish that helps.
Étienne.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Usplash debate
Mark, can you explain me why usplash artwork are flatten ? Also how to get a usable .so ? I wrote a Makefile that handle quite well the build and install process of splashes. Is it wrong ? Is there any doc about making usplash theme ? UsplashCustomizationHowto seems to have problems according to UsplashCustomizationHowtoDiscussion Étienne.

Re: [ubuntu-art] usplash contributions
Hello, Ok the page is a bit of a nightmare to scroll thru. Is there any way to set up a tabled thumbnail of the splashes? You're right. I did it for my usplash cause i can host them. That's so crazy to see so many propositions in so few times. Just open the correct wikipage and let's go :) Étienne. -- Verso l'Alto ! signature.asc Description: Ceci est une partie de message numériquement signée -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] usplash contributions
Hello, 1) Obtain an optimum 16 color palette via careful scrunching. 2) Import the palette via Gimp's palette tool. 3) Scuttle the palette entries around in accordance with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/USplashCustomizationHowto?highlight=%28usplash% 29 4) Re-work the working image down to a 16 color palette based on the final palette (Mode shift option in Gimp). 5) Try to run 'pngtobogl usplash-artwork.png usplash-artwork.c' 6) usplash-artwork.c results in an error with too many colors in the file. Okey, compare with my workflow : 1. Create a 640x480 picture with Gimp 2. Export it to PNG. Convert it to 16 colors with Gimp (don't know how to order colors in the palette with the Gimp). Be careful about flat surface. manual retouch. etc. 3. Resize it to 640x400 with convert (i wish it keep the palette, but not sure) 4. pngtobogl it 5. build, link it, etc. Step 3, 4 and 5 are handle by the Makefile. Installing it with sudo make install. I got black screen. I would like to see Frank Schoep workflow for his minimalistic, or any other working workflow.

Re: [ubuntu-art] usplash contributions
Hello, Here is how I do it...the first part probably makes no sense, but I am used to doing it that way :-) 1) Create a basic 640x480 pic with the correct branding, etc. as vector. 2) scale that down to 640x400 3) add extra highlights, glow and shadows as appropriate 4) save a pic as 24bit png 5) change to indexed color (no dithering), 15 colors if you need to add a white or red for text purposes...save the file 6) open the colormap dialogue and swap colors where necessary to make it fit to the code...note that your pic starts looking funky really quick - save that with another name 7) open the pic without the adjusted colormap from step 5, select all, copy, and paste into the one from step 6 - gimp adjust the index stuff automagically 8) touch it up per hand as necessary (didn't go this far yet on the pics I posted on the wiki) pngtobogl it, and build, link, etc. I followed youre step to manually implement Gimp palette drag'n'drop ;) [attached], That may have set up the right palette, but that didn't make my splash viewable ! I wonder why do is see nothing at the screen. I would suggest staying away from command line tools to edit these pics because of the small size, aspect ratio/scaling issues and the limited number of colors. Maybe. I find that funny to search the best way to automatis that stuff. Especially thumbnailing, building and installing. I may will try to implement a way to modify the palette in the .c, as it is far easier. -- Verso l'Alto ! ubuntu-logo-light.640x400.png Description: PNG image signature.asc Description: Ceci est une partie de message numériquement signée -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
