Re: [ubuntu-art] Metacity Button Order Changed
While I am super used to buttons-on-right I think I'm the only one who is digging the change to the left. Google chrome is still messing with me since its not decorated by metacity.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Default design note
No sorry, I was interested at one point but found it too hard of a community to become a part of without knowing anyone currently working on it. Though I would still suggest at least becoming a part of the gnome team art team at: http://art.gnome.org/ , or if you know c++ (or w/e gnome is written in :P sorry for my inexperience) you could join another part of the gnome team. ~Dave -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Re: [ubuntu-art] Default design note
While kde 4.3 does look great and performs so much better than previous versions, it still lacks enough stability (for me at least) to use on a desktop computer. Even though ubuntu's default desktop isn't quite as pretty as leopard's or vista's (or 7's), in my opinion the ability to customize far surpasses its rivals. Plus 9.10's new wallpapers truly are breathtaking. Here is my slightly customized desktop: http://i35.tinypic.com/5oywro.jpg -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] Default design note
Definitely give 9.10 kubuntu a try. The new kde is a huge step up. I'm sure within a few releases it will be really great. @ SorinN, I think if you really wanted to change the GUI as a whole you should look into joining the gnome community. I'm sure you have some great ideas that they might be able to use. ~Dave -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] Turrican theme
Freaking awesome!!! Maybe lighten up the inner shadows inside the max, min, and close and personally I would remove the gloss from the titlebar. But thats just me, I 3 minimalistic-ness. I however disagree on the tabs. I think they currently look very nice, clean, and well fitting. Nevertheless 'tis the best theme I have seen in quite a while :) Awesome work ~Dave -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] Karmic boot and login - 3rd iteration
Great background. Now I think the white selection color should be toned down or replaced with another color :) Also +1 to the glow tone down. It looks a little too over done atm. Its like a really pretty girl with a little too much makeup. Thanks ~Dave -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] Karmic boot and login - proposed designs
wow please no not the brown! I thought they were getting rid of brown Lol, way to pull that out of your ass But I can see where your coming from with the first iteration being gray and such. I do like the brown tho, much better then the 1st iteration. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] Karmic boot and login - proposed designs
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Karmic/Boot?action=AttachFiledo=gettarget=iteration_2_tw_splash.png is perfect. Right on target here. As for the next image, things I think should be changed: -The bottom toolbar in my opinion should stay, I like the look of one unifited toolbar at the bottom. -the black in the user selection box should be replaced with a very very dark brown, just sticking with the theme. No question about it, Karmic's boot is going to be hella cool ^_^ Thanks ~Dave -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] Karmic boot and login - proposed designs
O.O You guys listened?!? Oh man, Ubuntu's community is * ^-^ I honestly think it is much much better! For some reason - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Karmic/Boot/Demo?action=AttachFiledo=gettarget=xsplash-2.png is looking a little rough on the gradients (checked it on 4 different monitors). Now, what I don't like: --- -The color of the bottom toolbar contrasts with the color the the background tool much. They just look like mismatched browns :( - The very contrasted white selections in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Karmic/Boot/Demo?action=AttachFiledo=gettarget=gdm-menus-2.png (Select Language and Mat) I like the fact that you guys are using a solid color, I'm sure that really cuts down on the amount of images needed! But something about the white looks off to me. Umm, I don't believe light brown would look much better but mabye a light brown (or light gray) really close to white, with a some kind of thick border of darker brown (or darker gray) that is still pretty light :) Oh, I just noticed the throbber! It looks much, much better!! Even tho I dislike some things I think it has gotten much better since the last one, and perhaps Iteration 3 will nail it :D Anyways, just my $0.1 ~Dave -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
[ubuntu-art] Boot screen - Going Green
After reading that green might be introduced into the Ubuntu color scheme (or at least ubuntu os) I thought it might be a good idea to introduce the color in the Boot screen. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Karmic/Boot#David Zondlo's - Going Green What do you guys think about the idea? What do you guys think about the .png's themselves?

Re: [ubuntu-art] Boot screen - Going Green
I guess with eucalyptus's cloud computing being added and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Karmic/Finding_Your_Inner_Koala I just thought that it was being considered, tho I do recall reading something else that I can't find. Anywho, I thought it might be a good idea to further stretch the idea of: Finding your Inner Koala throughout ubuntu (like the bootscreen! :) ).

Re: [ubuntu-art] New Boot Experience in Karmic
As for boot animation, I recommend something ridiculously simple, eg. a logo and a throbber, maybe with a non-black background colour (dark grey?) to spruce things up and show off the awesome. Remember that we're aiming for a really, really quick boot. That means complex animations will not be very visible (and look tacky, anyway). Also remember that this is a still one of MANY screens, again heightening the silliness of a noisy graphic. I created and uploaded an animated gif from you reply.

Perhaps, just a dark orange (brown) on the selected text for easier readability? One more thing, is on the selected tabs, it doesn't look like the gradient from white to the tan color, is even.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Miu Theme
Smartboy: This made me go WOW! It just feels so... right, imo. The only thing I don't like is the color of the selected radio/checkmark/button and unfocused tab text. It shouldn't be orange,* but perhaps a light gray.* I completley agree! This theme really does feel like ubuntu done right ^-^ Also the glossy back and forward buttons are absolutely beautiful!

Re: [ubuntu-art] [Breathe] Power option icons
Woah!!! Sorry but they look really really off. :( I think the symbol (restart, and power) should be smaller, but that would suck for the smaller icons when the user can't see the restart or power symbol!
