Re: [ubuntu-art] Karmic boot and login - 3rd iteration
Great background. Now I think the white selection color should be toned down or replaced with another color :) Also +1 to the glow tone down. It looks a little too over done atm. Its like a really pretty girl with a little too much makeup. Thanks ~Dave -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

I can easily imagine a couple, but each choice would make a group of people scream, I'm sure. > So, enough babbling, this is the 3rd iteration.

Glow on the logo seems over the top to me. Background/colors are smooth and harmonious now. Makes me think of wine. The flat color with no beveling on the dialogs still make them look like holes. Please consider to make the "Cancel" and "Log in" buttons bright on dark. Login options should not have "...". Menus elsewhere come without. You could make password dialog dark on bright (white) as continuation of the selected list item. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

[lower right and left] IMO, those dont have to be fully black. Also the pop-up menus dont to have a white outline, an outline like the iteration 1 would look better. cheers, mac_v -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
[ubuntu-art] Karmic boot and login - 3rd iteration
Hi, Thanks for all the feedback on our work so far. We were glad to see that the use of brown was welcomed with some scepticism, we aren't sure about it, too! :) And even more, thanks for all the new contributions. Mr. doob—we love your work, please talk to us on the mailing list or on irc, wiki is not really a good place for discussions... Talking about new contributions, in particular ones that were based on our work—great job guys, it's really encouraging to see so much response. Few notes: - the current designs are bound with various technical limitations, in particular the gdm codebase, which only allows for theme changes without much flexibility (e.g. no transparency). Therefore (this time) we can't really go "full on" with crazy, innovative UI concepts. - we really want to maintain the impression of depth and spacious environment—something we felt was missing in mr.doob's work and some other contributions. Mr.doob (if you're reading this): please don't give up yet! :) So, enough babbling, this is the 3rd iteration. Let us know what you think! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Karmic/Boot/Demo#Ubuntu%20Karmic%20boot%20demo%20and%20proposed%20GDM%20theme%20%E2%80%93%20Iteration%203 Cheers, M. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
