Ah yes, that is the one I was looking for. These are much more modern, and
even resemble the new Dust icons somewhat.

You're obviously missing other emails. :)

The naming will be finalized tomorrow. After that, with the name, I'll
set up the wiki pages.

The naming chat will go on here.

Yeah, I've seen that one 'round. Great, isn't it?

As for names, so long as we're going about something to do with wind, air

Exactly right. Even with photorealistic icons (or semi-realistic) the small 
versions need a small line around them (perhaps not totally opaque) to help 
define the form and outer lines. Note that this is only necessary on the 
small versions.

In addition I would suggest increasing the brightness and/or decreasing the 
contrast a bit on the smaller versions.

I agree. Although I don't know which one is better (dark outline or not).
Dark outline makes the small version easy to identify. But doesn't
look too cool on the big icon.
Maybe, having a bit of outline when small, but not that dark?

Cool. God knows I set a bunch of folders based on content manually. I
just wonder if there's any place in GNOME that does? Maybe xgd-user dirs
have support for this? If not, there's nothing wrong with shipping extra
icons for users to set themselves. I do this for Studio.

It's too late in the cycle to do anything to the current set. We'll
continue this effort and hopefully have a good start to a set for
Intrepid+1.

But we are just replacing the old folder icon with new one. It's kind of
a merge the new folders with the old iconset - no other changes just the
folders.

That will be the first step towards Breath (maybe Air, what do you
think?)

I'd say no. We should have at least a semblance of a base set. 1st. 1
folder icon really isn't enough.

Could you add a smaller version (something like 22x22)? It goes a long way to 
understanding the lines and dithering problems which can occur.

Thank you!

I liked Antons folder icons, so I've tooled my own to look more like his,
attached is yet another revision of the folders, with more minute detailing.
Also, this one has closed folders...

I like that a lot. If we can flip the folder around so the top lip
thing is in the left, the thumbnails will be much more visible.
Another option would be to put the thumbnail on top and add a drop
shadow... if the transparency thing doesn't work.

As per a smaller version, a re-make in the older flat style might be more
visually appropriate.
Anywho, mark 2. I also threw in some gloss versions in there. I have no idea
if the thumbnails in the icon are feasable at this point, but nonetheless
they are there.

While I personally feel they are good by themselves I'm trying to get
away from the heavy outlined "Tango" look.

That's one detail I hoped most people would drop in this little
mash-up/exercise here. :)

Agreed. I'm hoping to stimulate ideas now and refine later. Making
changes to accommodate these various sizes.

Cool. Maybe they can stir some other ideas.

Hi all,

I think that for a first try this is pretty good. The highlight gradient at 
the bottom could be less saturated at the first stop and perhaps a bit more 
subtle - I know that is getting picky but it is one very important part that 
we don't want to lose. One very tricky part of making folders is making small 
version which work well and look similar to the large versions. My experience 
has shown that making a small version while making the big version keeps 
things within the bounds of possibility. 

I will try to scrounge up some of the other folder variants we made for Oxygen 
a couple of years ago and post them to the list.

I think some things can come down to artistic license. Certainly if we
try for a set we will aim for consistency.

Nice solution. But, doesn't the shadow being that close to the glow
looks weird? Like, where is that glow coming from? why the light is
creating that glow in the folder isn't affecting the shadow too?

Very nice sir. Lets see what Ken W. thinks. :) He also has alt Oxygen
folders that weren't used. They might spark some ideas.

My plan is to issue a couple more challenges like this then reveal my
overall plan. :P

Ok I didn't want to put any more rules on this but one thing we want to
capture if we hope to go for default is to try to capture that "bottom
glow" on the human folders.

Ken W. might be able to explain it more.

Perhaps not a direct answer here, as I was thinking more of my Dust theme
while making this ;) But the idea is to mix:

 - Human's orange
 - The subtleness of the Oxygen icon
 - The sly translucency of both

...while donning a new a more subdued palette, and simply making the orange
a highlight more than a main color. Anyway, I hope you guys like it. :)

P.S. Sorry Cory, I sent this email to you (and not the list) by mistake.

[symon cadwallender]

well when you mix blue with orange, it turns Brown! LOL. but n! not a
brown icon set for god's sakes.
I like some of the previous mockups, but it will never be implemented by
canoncial. its not "human" enough! bah.
damn the brown and orange obsession that they have.

[ubuntu-art] Folder Icon challenge.

[Cory K.]

I'm at the beginning stages of a new icon set effort for Ubuntu. But I
have a little question in the meantime.

Answer this: http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/8752/dreamfolderyu0.png

Consider it an exercise. :)

And please no wise-cracks. Please show that there are some talented,
mature people on this list. ;)
