[ubuntu-art] Shiki-Colors

2008-08-08 Thread Victor
Hi, This is the first time I post here and I'm not used to this type of
forum interface, so forgive me if this post doesn't come out correctly
or conform to the standards of this mailing list.

I read the previous threads and comments about my theme Shiki-Colors,
and I'm glad that the people here liked it, and may even consider it for
Ubuntu. Since I'm a heavy Ubuntu user/proposer myself, I thought I'd
modify my theme a bit to make it more conservative (friendlier to the
general user) and warmer (to better fit Ubuntu's look).

You can find a screenshot of the modified theme here (Using my
gnome-human icons):
http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/4993/screenshotrn3.png

The most noticeable changes are:
-Menus/Menubars are light. While this takes a bit away from the original
appeal of the theme, it is much more compatible and way less buggy with
non-gtk apps (firefox 3).
-Warmer bg colors.
-Metacity has been hacked a bit. It now has 2px borders (can be changed
to 3 or 4 if needed). The outline is still just 1px, but this makes it a
lot more comfortable to resize.

You can download the theme here (needs murrine SVN from intrepid to
render progressbars):
http://rapidshare.com/files/135863252/Shiki-Ubuntu_0.4.tar.gz.html

Other things that could be changed is making menu items/selected base
lighter, with dark text. I'll leave those changes up to the opinions I
receive. Also, I think I could improve the metacity titlebar further,
since it's no longer unified and doesn't need to blend in with the
menubar.

I have tried lighter backgrounds (like those in my clearlooks-colors
themes) but so far, the current background seems to be the lightest I
can make it while keeping good widget contrast and complimenting the
theme's dark aspects. It could possibly be made warmer, though, so human
refugees would feel more at home. Either way, the default colors should
be easily changed in GNOME's appearance preferences.

I personally would would rather you kept it as it is already with respect to
this,
Firefox 3 seems fine to me and it is a very big factor in the appeal of the
theme,
Also I think the theme would be nicer with the scrollbar in the gray/brown
colour
and the contrast would help discern it against the light background.

After using it a bit and giving it to my mom and younger sister to you, the
tiny _[]X buttons became a really big usability problem. The Human buttons
were nice a big, and these are so tiny - they're actually having troubles
clicking on it (and much frustration at not being able to do such a basic
thing).

I set the Window background color to #F2ECE5, and it looks a lot better.
Can you give that a try?

Ok, I'll try to add the dark menu bar again. Maybe I can figure out a
way to avoid the firefox bug. (The bug is that if you click on the star
icon to bookmark a page, the background comes out dark but the widgets
are light and the text is dark, making it unreadable). So far having
light menus is the only solution I can find, but since firefox uses menu
item text color for menu-bars, you can't have dark menu-bars paired with
light menus.

Also, what color would you suggest for the scrollbar? I've tried a few,
but the current one is the only one that matches other widgets or look
too saturated.Zzz

I'll try an in-between color. Probably something like E4DED8.
I'll also try making a new metacity without pixmap buttons. It should be
larger and easier to click, at the cost of some elegance.

Have a look at the Known issues topic here:

There you will find a file I made to fix the FF issue in my theme at
least partially.

Welcome. Remember to create art that you love and don't take criticism too hard.

 I read the previous threads and comments about my theme Shiki-Colors,
 and I'm glad that the people here liked it, and may even consider it for
 Ubuntu.

The people who reply to messages on this list don't get to control
what theme gets enabled by default. That said, if there were a vote
I'd vote for yours as having a the most promise.

 You can find a screenshot of the modified theme here
 http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/4993/screenshotrn3.png

 The most noticeable changes are:
 -Menus/Menubars are light. While this takes a bit away from the original

 -Warmer bg colors.
 -Metacity has been hacked a bit. It now has 2px borders (can be changed
 to 3 or 4 if needed). The outline is still just 1px, but this makes it a
 lot more comfortable to resize.

I will try out your changes later tonight, I wanted to post this
though maybe you've fixed it with the lighter menus:
http://code.bearfruit.org/~matt/firefox-shiki.png

This is a picture of firefox. You'll see that I've dragged my
bookmarks toolbar up to the right of the Help menu. Therefore the
dark text is barely readable. Also, you can see the location drop down
in that image is very very hard to read because of the dark
background.

I will have some users test the narrow window borders. Visually I
think they look very good. There has been discussion about the narrow
borders making it difficult to resize windows - I think that's
possible but it may not actually hamper people in real life. Testing
will tell for sure.

Keep up the good work. I'd suggest creating an Ubuntu .deb package for
your theme and icons for intrepid (or hardy) so that people can
install it easily even if it doesn't go to main. It's one of the
nicest contributed themes and is one of the most usable dark themes
I've found.

There are only a few people here who have created .deb files
successfully so doing so would not only brand you as an extraordinary
artist but also land you among the ubuntu art-team elite.  Recent
instructions can be found here:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-art/2008-July/007043.html
posted by José Luis (thanks José!). They look simple enough.

Yes, all the Firefox issues should be fixed in the version that uses
light menus. The bugs only come out in the regular version.

I think 2px is quite usable for the borders, but it can be increased if
need be. I made it so the outline is always 1px, though, so thicker
borders shouldn't necessarily mean bad.

Thanks for the suggestions, later tonight I will follow the guide you
mentioned and try to make .debs for my themes and icons. If possible,
I'll try to keep 2 editions of Shiki-Ubuntu; one with light
menus/menubars with large metacity buttons that is bug-proof and
family-proof, and a regular one that is stylish, but imperfect due to
GNOME's current limitations.

 Yeah, with the hovered menu items (where the background goes that orange
colour), the text should be black. It's too hard to read at the moment.
Also, it might be an idea to make your orange colour a bit more orange and
less yellow, that's just my opinion though. Other then that, your
improvements look brilliant!

Keep up the good job,

First test: fail. :-(

I set it up for my wife and asked her to resize a window while I
watched. She went right for the side and couldn't grab it in a few
seconds and several tries because she was waiting for the cursor to
change to the resize handle and the hit area was so small she kept
overshooting. She resorted to resizing by moving the window around and
then using the upper corner. So in a sense she did succeed but we
effectively made resizing windows more difficult. Of note is the fact
that she was using a laptop with a trackpad. I think it's a bit harder
to be precise with this pointing device. I'll do a little more
testing, maybe on Sunday I'll have a chance.

Even if every tester fails I'm not 100% sure that means we should go
to wider borders. If I remember correctly, some operating systems
force users to use the bottom right corner to resize and users adapt
just fine, though maybe not in the first 8 seconds.

[ubuntu-art] Shiki-Colors

2008-08-07 Thread Bharat Varma
There is a new theme added to gnome-look called Shiki-Colors. The theme
looks very interesting (and quite similar to the New Wave idea).

Preview is available at -
http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=2id=86717file1=86717-1.jpgfile2=86717-2.jpgfile3=86717-3.jpgname=Shiki-Colors

The actual theme page is at -
http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Shiki-Colors?content=86717

Looks like the theme as two variants - one which depends on murrine SVN and
one which is pure clearlooks.

Do take a look at it.

I wonder if this theme circumvents the refocusing problem I
mentioned observing with dark themes. It uses dark window chrome and
pannels but the lighter gray for the toolbars.

 When you think about it, though... gray is great because there can be a lot
of contrast, yet it can still be completely readable. Plus it goes with
anything. When I do web design I try to add color to everything but what
absolutely must be readable (with exceptions, of course). There will be
colors in the header, the background for the main page, images, etc. When it
comes to the content it's usually non exciting. Black on white, or vice
versa... or even just shades of gray. I think we should try to get our
colors into places that they can be without having to worry about stuff. The
orange and brown could be dealt with primarily in the wallpaper, panels,
emerald/metacity theme, and icons. The GTK part should be as boring as
possible to an extent, so as to make it as readable as possible.

One of the best things about Ubuntu is choice. There have been a lot of
excellet ideas thrown out here like Kith, Kin, this theme, and many more
(sorry for not mentioning them all by name). The default theme though should
be something that is acceptable to everyone. I'd love to see a somewhat
boring(ish) default theme, with themes like Kith, Kin, UbuntuStudio
(whatever they're doing), Blubuntu, etc. in the appearance menu. If we
removed a few screensavers, we could add quite a few themes and wallpaers. I
think this would go a long way toward putting Ubuntu ahead of Mac, because
they don't have a lot of choice in what their OS looks like.

Just my 2 cents. Gmail kinda messed up half way through this, I'm prety sure
I won't be top posting, but if I am I apologize.

I don't think that sticking with the human thing is necessary. I guess
I'm just saying that we shouldn't get to carried away with the new
theme. Although if Shiki-Colors is stable and works with all programs,
I don't have any problem with it being used. I don't know what I'm
saying, haha. I really do think it is a good idea to have other (more
exciting than the default) GTK themes available in the appearance
manager, or through some sort of download application or web page
(even a simple link in the appearance manager?).

Nice!

The only thing bothering me is the cap over title bars. It is busy
and does not deliver any extra functionality. Perhaps if it had that
highlight on the bottom instead, which would make it easier to resize
windows. (Currently a difficult task with thin borders).
I do see the benefit of that cap to highlight the focused window, of
course. If it didn't obstruct the title text, for example just a thin
coloured border at the top, I would have less of a problem with it.

I always like seeing a theme that does away with the totally
unnecessary thick window borders, though :)

No. That will only result in the most drab, watered-down, corporate
theme imaginable.

We aim at our target audience while coming up with something stylish.

Alienating people because of a theme should not be taken so heavily.
People who want boring can use Clearlooks. Which IMO is the GNOME

Another major thing that has to change is the widths on the side /bottom

Re: [ubuntu-art] Shiki-Colors

2008-08-07 Thread Bharat Varma
I have installed the theme and modified the Window background color to a
more gilouche-ish shade (#FBF9F5)

I have attached a few screenshots -

Setup - Hardy Heron, Liberation Fonts, White on Black Terminal profile with
a slight transparency, the suggested icons (gnome-colors icons).

1. Nautilus window on desktop -

3. Terminal - http://img378.imageshack.us/my.php?image=terminaluj8.png
4. Widget Factory -

I am impressed by this theme. There are still a few quirks to be ironed out,
but by and large it is a well done theme.

Oh, now those screenshots are impressive! Much better than the gray.
