Re: [ubuntu-art] [polish] GRUB boot screen
Hmm .. I'd love to see this in edgy ! The image could be a little better ..- The logo slightly less to the edge.- The Blurred border should go.- Maybe even drop *rounded* things because it really scales awful on widescreens or high-res screens ;) But still .. even if the image doesn't improve a lot .. its 100* better then the current ( ugly ) grub :)Nice work, great idea !Cheers2006/9/30, Viper550 < [EMAIL PROTECTED]>:Toby Smithe wrote: > On Sat, 2006-09-30 at 11:07 -0400, jmak wrote:> >>> Why is the border between the dark and the light tone kind of blury?>> Also if you would create an 'S' shape for the gloss, like the one on >> the folder, would improve it.

Re: [ubuntu-art] From the Fedora User to the Ubuntu Art Team: Here's your big competition...
I don't like the fedora artwork a lot.Its just polished, that's what makes it so good.Novell has the same, it looks nice because it is polished.If you make every splash, gdm, wallpaper, .. based on ONE image you get a VERY nice result. So .. a grub image, usplash, gdm, gsplash, wallpaper, some app splashes ( OOo, xara, gimp, .. ). For the gtk/metacity, just use contrasted colors and for the icons just make them fit in :)Meaning, if the GDM is glossy, the icons should be too.. IMO this is the worst thing about ubuntu-artwork. It doesn't look bad, its just not polished.( I'm talking about dapper )You have no grub-splash, you have an old looking gdm, with a new shiny gsplash. A very ugly wallpaper, totally not fitting any rest of the theme..If ubuntu-art wants to concuer with Suse or Fedora they _will_ have to polish !!Cheers2006/9/12, Chuck Huber < [EMAIL PROTECTED]>:On Mon, 2006-09-11 at 18:14 -0400, Viper550 wrote: > I have found the final artwork for Fedora Core 6 (the next version of my> preferred Linux distro), and I will tell you one thing now: It's going> to wow you from your eyes to your DNA literally, because instead of > widespread bubbles, we have double helixes everywhere now!>> http://people.redhat.com/dfong/fc6graphics/> Viper550 >Well from the looks of this art it's pretty clear that Fedora's artworkgoals are different than ours so while it may be perfect for some usersnot everyone will be inspired by it.

Good use of the 1 bit transparency there i'd say.I'm happy to see fedora pushing their art a little more!

Re: [ubuntu-art] Ubuntu panel background proposal
Honestly I don't like that at all, sorry.The transparant background may look nice when no windows are open but when there are, it looks very cheap.What I prefer is a background image ( not-transparant ) and it should fit the GTK theme. I attached a screenshot of my panel.

My only concern while twiddling withit here at home is that it is difficult to get _all_ of the interface elements to abide by the rules.It is a very simple tweak, and I think we can get it in forEdgy assuming our workhorse Frank manages to push it tobzr.Right now however, there is _one_ amateur looking element -- certain buttons on the panel need to have the default translucencyadjusted to bring them more in line with the rest of the panel.I have attached a small JPG to illustrate the problem.Does anyone know how to adjust this value and in what resource file it is?

[ubuntu-art] Proposal : Ubuntu-Art forum.
An Ubuntu-Art forum. This is a text based on an idea I had when I joined ubuntu-art. I modified it a month later, so that I wouldn't tell any lies :) The general idea is an artwork forum, replacing launchpad, the wiki and the Mailing List. It explains the difficulties for beginners and tries to solve those problems. Enjoy :) a ) Current State. - Register to launchpad. - subscribe to the mailing list. - Join the irc channel. - Register to the wiki. This causes a lot of work to stay updated. You'll have to check your mail, the wiki and launcpad. Eventually even join the irc channel. b) Future State. ( With the forum ) - subscribe to the forum. - Eventually subscribe to threads / forum sections. - Join the irc channel. A forum is easier to join and to stay up-to-date. c) Goods. - Forums are more structured. - Its easier to join, attracts more new artists. - Easier to stay updated. - No more refering to wiki's anymore, just post the image. - Easier to post and find guides. - Discussions and feedback will be easier to track - Only one site to check. - Proposals, mockups are easier to publish. d) Bads. The risk of spam, flaming, .. But that is also possible in the mailing list. Feel free to add some :) e) Forum Layout. Support : Questions about program functions can be found here. Bugs : Current bugs in the artwork can be posted here. Produce : Icons, wallpapers, *DMs, usplash', ... The real produce phase runs here. Howto's and guides : User posted guides about making art or using programs,.. Incoming : Members post mockups, others revise it. Maybe even realise it. Projects : New programs or projects can be introduced here. Calendar : The ubuntu-art Calendar. Artwork Cafe: A place where artists can chill out after a hard day of work. f) Goal The goal of this idea is really simple, attract more artists to join ubuntu-art. And let them work more structured. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Re: [ubuntu-art] Glass panels - just a thought
I prefer panel-background set by the GTK theme.This usually fits better in the whole computer them..With a panel background like that you'll have a very ugly gaim logo as well ;)Cheers 2006/8/29, Étienne Bersac <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hello,Setting a panel background picture is very good. However, the pictureyou show is far too translucent.Étienne.--Verso l'Alto !--ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.comhttps://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] Pretty System Consoles
Viper550, I asked Seveas about the usplash.He was the one that informed me about the higher resolution, and he was going to make it use more colors.I'm not sure when, but he told me he was going to let us know ( mailing list ). So we'll just have to wait for the good news :)Cheers2006/8/29, Viper550 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: PingunZ wrote:> Viper550, the new usplash will be able to have more colors and a> higher resolution if all goes well.> In edgy we now are able to set 800*600 resolution yet.> So theoretically the animated.gif should be possible !>> I am really, really exited about that animated.gif !!>> Cheers>> 2006/8/29, Viper550 <[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]>>:>> Michiel Sikma wrote:> > Or something like this:> >> > http://gamingw.net/pubaccess/28695/animated.gif> >> > Michiel> >> > Op 29-aug-2006, om 15:21 heeft PingunZ het volgende geschreven:> >> > > >> I hope so cause it was kinda ridiculous.> >> I once booted ubuntu next to a windows-user and he was kinda> >> kidding with the *ok* and *failed* text.> >> We really don't need a beginner-freaking-out-text, its not nice, > >> its not useful..> >> Just a nicebackground with a throbber.> >>> >> Cheers PingunZ> >>> >> 2006/8/29, Michiel Sikma < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED]>>: Yeah, wasn't it> >> one of the main art-related objectives of Edgy to get > >> that crappy text out of the distro's usplash?> >>> >> Michiel> >>> >> Op 29-aug-2006, om 15:13 heeft PingunZ het volgende geschreven: > >>> >>> >>> Seriously, focus the usplash with a higher resolution and color> >>>> >> depth.> >>> >>> Cheers PingunZ > >>>> >>> >> >> >> Nice, but that's 256 colors, do something similar using only 14> and I'll> be excited... >> Viper550>> --> ubuntu-art mailing list> ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com>> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art>>But I overheard on ubuntu-devel (when the high-resolution thing was figured out) that even though it can run in a higher-resolutionframebuffer now, you still are only allowed to use 14 color imagesbecause of the limitations in the image format used in Usplash (bogl)...

Re: [ubuntu-art] Pretty System Consoles
Viper550, the new usplash will be able to have more colors and a higher resolution if all goes well.In edgy we now are able to set 800*600 resolution yet.So theoretically the animated.gif should be possible !

Re: [ubuntu-art] Pretty System Consoles
Well, I dont know if we need a terminal emulator.Ubuntu is a linux-beginner distro. I'd go for usplash without scrolling text.Even the text was freaking out some beginners so ... We don't want to scare them :) Seriously, focus the usplash with a higher resolution and color depth.Cheers PingunZ2006/8/29, Étienne Bersac <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >:Hello,Afaik, bootsplash for bootsplash.org is a quiet ugly patch that includea lot of graphical stuff (jpeg decompression, ttf support, etc.) in thekernel.Something possible would a text terminal emulator that execute login anduse svga or similar to draw a themed terminal.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Pretty System Consoles
That is fbsplash.It uses a vesaFB patch for the kernel.Usplash will probably be able to have a higher resolution/color but wont have a console mode.GFXboot is just a patch for grub. It makes it look like suse but allows you 640*480 resolution. It is nice but loads a little slower then the normal grub.Cheers.2006/8/29, Who <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hi all,I tried SUSE the other day and noticed that they have some rather nicethemeing going on on their system consoles (I.E the things you accessusing CTRL+ALT+F?). They have an image at the top and use higher resolutions for the text - I'd like to do similar on Ubuntu.I don't know what they use (low google foo today, it seems), but Idivined that Gentoo do similar with 'gensplash' (or fbsplash, to beprecise) ( http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/gensplash/, SUSE usedto use 'botsplash' (www.bootsplash.org) and may now use gfxboot. Fedora, iirc, don't have the funky console themes.My question is, can the new usplash do it too? Can we do it withUbuntu - beacause it looks really cool and makes the console look alot more user friendly - it has a more "hey, look at this thing I'm obvioulsy supposed to use" feeling instead of "whoops, this lookscomplex and weird, better leave well alone" - not the attitude wewant, I think. It definitely adds that oh-so illusive 'polished' feel. PingunZ, I see from an Ubuntu Forums thread you have experience in thegfxboot world: you know whether it themes the consoles?Should this go to ubuntu-devel too?Who--ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.comhttps://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
