Re: [ubuntu-art] Incoming Feisty art
Hey guys !!! The new GDM theme is so nice ! You rock guy ! :D Wahoo !! I've never been so crazy about Ubuntu artwork ! Just at tips : the desktop wallpaper has a very nice sharpness in middle of all the smoothness. Whereas GDM theme background is completely smooth. You may add some kind of similar sharpness. Not the same. Do you plan to add a face browser enable version ? I can do that for you if you want. Keep up the good work. Feisty will be so Dapper !

Hi, In fact, the weight is fine. But the upslash is stretched horizontally on my wide screen laptop, so i was a bit too bold :) Étienne. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

I assume that this resolution was included as a mistake (ie it was the pic used to make the 1024x768 scaled version). I wasn't sure so I went ahead and included it. I think that we should include pics for a few other resolutions/aspect ratios though (we'll probably never get them all, but it would be a good start). I guess making a list of candidates would be the way to start here. Ken -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Re: [ubuntu-art] Incoming Feisty art
The new splash progress bar is nice, much better with the reflective black background than the grey one! One problem though, sometimes you notice it flickers when it is updating. I guess it's not an artwork problem but more a usplash problem, but I thought I'd bring it up anyway. Good job!

You may forgot to redish the circle :) Yes, I saw that today. I've changed things twice since then. Hopefully the last change will make it on the next Herd. If not, close your eyes the first time it boots and then update to the newest version ASAP :-) Also, i'm worrying about logo consistency. There is almost 5 variant of the logo : * The gfxboot one * The usplash one * The gdm one * The session splash one * The main menu one We must definetly make all this logo consistent. What can you do ? Well, everything except the gfxboot should not be a problem. Since the gfxboot only uses 16 colors we are so limited that it is simply impossible to use the exact same pic. We either need to go grey-scale or use a simple (non 3D) logo for this. I do not think it would be good to try to make a different 3D version to work with 16 colors as it would look too different to the rest of them. Also, i really like the new wallpaper. It is so smooth, nice different. I event suggest to to touch the session splash to include new logo from usplash and smoothness of wallpaper. I wanted to start working on the session splash this week and intended to use parts of the wallpaper for this. The same goes for gdm screen. I can help for gdm theme. I imagine a background for gdm that use strictly the same tones than wallpaper, but with a gradient adapted to the content of the gdm login (centered field, etc.). Do you get it ? :) Exactly!

Monitors fall into a vast array of aspect ratio and resolutions. Namely, 16:10 and 4:5. That said, you factor in multi-head displays, SVIDEO/HDTV out, etc., and the rest of situations and you quickly end up in a very complicated situation.

Hi, Great to hear that you like it. I'll still be improving on it, trying to get the balance perfect and the smoothness correct. One more comment about wallpaper : the dark point at top left corner is a bit too dark. Or a bit too grey. If you increase saturation and luminosity you should get it.

[ubuntu-art] Incoming Feisty art
Hi all, Some of you may saw the new feisty artwork arriving. This artwork is not stamped alpha. So, let's discuss about it :). As of today, only usplash and gnome wallpaper has been updated. First, i really like the new wallpaper. Even if i find it too pinky, i really love the smoothness of the picture. In contrary to dapper wallpaper, this one does not looks like a brown ulgy clone of Mac OS X wallpaper suite. So sweet :). About upslash. I do not like the new logo. the red is too pinky :|. And since i do not like Gtk Human progress bar, i don't like it on usplash. To be constructive, here are the point i dislike in this progressbar : * the tiny vertical seperators makes sense only for discret progress bar (with fixed step). It provide an idea of unit of progression and user wait the progress bar to push by one square. * The sharp orange does fit neither title brown nor wallpaper pink. Think consistent. * Also progress bar orange have huge accessibility issues (see bug about that). Since december, i lost my glasses i have to wait 'til march. It's a good test of accessibility in Ubuntu. Beryl helps. font-properties allows me to increase dpi up to 118 ! Even at such size, the text is hard to read on progress bar. Please update. Accessibility matters. Also, who made this artwork ? Is ubuntu-art only a place to comment new artwork ;) ?
