Re: [ubuntu-art] Night Impression Beta

2009-09-27 Thread Jonathan Motes

 Why make your theme depend on an icon theme that's not included or at
 the very least, offer some clue as to where the required theme can be
 downloaded. [/rant]


The icon theme is humanity - the default icon set for karmic. If you are
running karmic and don't have it you need to do updates. Otherwise, you can
download it here:

 Heya

 I don't experience this. Are you running plane Tangerine theme or
 Human? I'm running karmic as well and I have my bottom bar at 18px now
 just to check.

The problem is only on my top panel and it is with the tangerine icon theme
- switching back to the human icon theme causes the panel to go back to
24px.

I've been running this install of Karmic since alpha 3 so I guess the
problem might could be the result of gnome updates not going correctly. I
will try to do a fresh install of alpha 5 (I think it will be released
tomorrow) and report back to you.

 Hello All

 I've just submitted a patch for tangerine-icon-theme package to fix 3 bugs.

 I did a -3ubuntu1 version. But it seems a bit odd, cause I thought it
 was an Ubuntu driven theme.

 Who is driver / maintainer of upstream launchpad.net/tangerine-icon theme?

 Who has access to change driver / maintainer?

 Does anyone wants to actively maintain it?

 I would love to maintain it =) I'm not an artists but I love this
 theme and I'm a fairly good packager / autotools intermediate user.
 There are already a few submissions on launchpad bugs which I would be
 willing to investigate (legal / licensing) and incorporate.

 (I like breathe as well and I'm not intending to steal thunder ;-) I
 just want tangerine to still be in decent shape in ubuntu/debian
 archives)

 I like the subject tag because whilst I don't electronically filter on
 it, I do filter on it with my eyes. I'm on around 150 mailing lists
 and being able to scan down the inbox and see the tag helps me to
 decide which ones to read first.

[ubuntu-art] NewHuman theme tree-lists problem?

2008-08-09 Thread Jonathan Motes
I just recently discovered the NewHuman theme on Ken's launchpad website. I
don't know if the theme is still in Intripid - I'm only running Hardy, so I
apologize .

Items in tree lists (at least in programs written with wxWidgets) have light
gray text titles instead of black when using the theme. Could someone help
me determine if this problem needs to be reported on the NewHumanTesting
wiki page?

A screen-shot of my problem is attached.

Thanks!

 I browse my email using a mobile when I don't have access to a

 phones have smaller screens and slow connections to the 'net.
 Trimming quotes to only the required bits helps a lot.

I just wanted to add that I think it is hard for Gmail users to see the need
to bottom post because they just get used to Gmail's  Conversations
Feature which shows all the emails with the same subject in a list. If I
want to see what others have posted, I just look at the previous emails in
the list.

I was very confused as to why top-posting would be such an issue until I
remembered that all email clients don't have this feature.

For this reason, I vote for a forum. I think issues such as this one justify
it's need.

Re: [ubuntu-art] hardy artwork

I really like the Fela Kuti wallpaper. I think it would be wonderful for
Hardy, especially if it were also integrated with the GDM and splash.
Additionally, it would help bring in the black colors (I haven't seen much
black yet) for the proposed orange and black color scheme.

 If Hardy does adopt this, and it is successful, it could also set a
 blueprint for future wallpapers as stylized paintings (with the
 stylization gradually changing to match current cultural styles)
 of the

 I hope I'm not getting too excited here,

 Ties for first in my books. I like the overlapping title bar, as well as
 how that title bar absolutely completely disappears when out of focus.
 Really good, clean effect.
 Rounded corners look better here than usual. Very tastefully done.

 This mockup needs some more use cases, though:
 -Program menus
 -Toolbars
 -Text boxes
 -Running without desktop effects

[ubuntu-art] GDM/Emerald suggestion

2007-12-21 Thread Jonathan Motes
One of the most useful tools that I've used since I've started using Linux
(coming from Windows) is the window always-on-top feature. However, I had
been using Linux for several months before I discovered it.

I found this emerald
themehttp://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/radial?content=71352on
gnomelook.org that has a button to the left to set a window to be
always-on-top. I find it extremely useful and I would like to see
something similar included in Hardy's theme.

I don't know much about the capabilities of GDM themes and if this could be
implemented. I suppose that even if Hardy included an emerald theme the GDM
theme would have to have the same functionality and layout.

I hope this is the correct place to make these kinds of suggestions. If not,
could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Jonathan
