I also use gmail and hit reply. I have no idea if it is top or bottom posting. so let me know if this is top or bottom. Maybe what needs to be done is ONE team in ONE area of the country and ONLY THAT team be responsible for ALL ubuntu artwork. At least unimportant art unrelated issues will be omitted. It would save time with no mailing lists required, and no rules of posting to get in the way of the important stuff, no mailing list attachments etc etc etc. What do you guys think? I vote that the ONLY art team be located in Pittsburgh , PA USA. coz -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art The point of having a community-accessible channel is the community part. Having a "core" art team somewhere eliminates the community, forces relocation and requires that everyone there be paid to be there. Even 2 artists at $10/hr for 8 hours a day would cost $160/ day, $800 for a 5 day week, $4000 a month, or $48,000 per year. No self-respecting artist would work for that much, so they would have to be terrible artists to be that cheap. So suck it up, and unless you want to personally spend $48,000+ to not need to follow the top-posting rule... Just don't top post!!!

Seriously though, the hate for things that resembles OSX simply because they resemble OSX is getting old and is basically an argument for the status quo. The status quo is somewhere north of MacOS 9, I think. Intrepid is the perfect time to try out new themes and UI -- the last release was an LTS so people wary of retraining have something else to fall back on, and we'll have the largest amount of time possible for feedback and testing.

Re: [ubuntu-art] How to provide more alternate wallpapers without influencing CD size requirements
Sent from my iPod On Jul 7, 2008, at 8:04 PM, Brian Fleeger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi all, This is an idea I had to provide users with more alternate wallpapers without influencing the install CD's footprint. If this is too off-topic for an art-team posting, please let me know and direct me to where this idea does belong. At least it is tangentially related to Ubuntu's art experience. In addition to providing a couple extra default alternate wallpapers, Canonical could host a special wallpaper repository the same way it does with synaptic and install/uninstall. Scenario: Grandma May is using her Ubuntu for the first time and wants to change the wallpaper. She right clicks the desktop, sees "change wallpaper," and clicks through. After seeing there are only 4 or 5 alternates (I am still optimistic), she notices the "Get More Ubuntu Wallpapers" button in the bottom right-hand corner of the nautilus window. (if granny didn't have an internet connection, the box would be grayed out and unclickable) She clicks it and is connected to a repository of pre-selected Ubuntu art works. In the repo, she sees small icons, and can mouse-over/single click to see larger previews. After checking the boxes for the wallpapers she wants, Grammy clicks "Install Wallpapers" and is done. Users could happily choose from hundreds of specially chosen backgrounds which have been selected for their color/composition to go well with the new Ubuntu default theme, instead of googling for hours for "free wallpapers." Backgrounds could be arranged by topic, with options like "Select All Nature Wallpapers," etc. Canonical could thereby 1) redefine the user experience, 2) gain more control over Ubuntu's aesthetic appeal, and 3) streamline the CD install image all in one swoop. Is this a good idea/something that could be passed on to relevent parties? -Brian Fleeger -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art Yes!

Re: [ubuntu-art] Beta Version of the Clear Mockup
Salane, your mockup is awesome. What we need to do is push Ubuntu into the future. We can do this be following some of Salane's ideas. The idea of having your username right next to the menu button is genius. The userswitch applet could go right there. Also, the File manager does look a little safari-ish, but that is because everything is unified. THe secret to enticing new users is not to have a million features, it is to pick a set, work really hard on them, and make it unified. One example of where things are unified is Konqueror. It is both a web browser and file manager. with work, It can be expanded to also be a media player, document editor, etc etc. "Why have many when you can have one" -- Ubuntu FTW! -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Apple is known for breaking the mold, we can do that as well, it just takes one good idea, then we have the Redmond Renegades copying us. I was thinking lately about how the desktop should look (I was bored) and I had a great idea: There would be an option to have a transparent to-do list/mail-checker/calendar thing on the desktop. If you requested it, it would say "New Mail Message" when one arrived or "Coffee with Alice coming up in five minutes" when there was a coffee with Alice coming up. Apple started the idea of the icons hinting at you when there was a new event, but we need to take it to the next level. 0_0 I just spent 20 minutes writing an email! shadowh511 -- Ubuntu FTW! -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
