[ubuntu-art] Technical reality based concept art.
Is it just me or does it seem that some people don't know the technical limitations in dealing with GNOME and such? I love some of the concepts don't get me wrong, but I just feel we need to let people know a little more what can and can't be currently done. I would hate to see someone put so much effort into something that can be done. Maybe we should have a page with technical links? -Cory \m/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Re: [ubuntu-art] Technical reality based concept art.
Good idea, but I would not want to put a cap on thinking outside of the box. We can update engines to do what we want, but the engines are limited by gnome. Otherwise we need to put pressure on gnome to create/modify features.

Hi, Before we go rushing off into a poll thought I might clear things up.

Feel free to have any polls you want for the community based artwork. However, the default artwork in the distribution will be based strictly on a well defined art direction which will be ready by the end of next week sometime. -- Ken advertise the poll on ubuntu-user related lists, digg it etc. at least then we'd have some real basis for determining what people that already use Ubuntu (and perhaps a few of those that don't) really want in a theme. i think we should open up this process. for instance this theme got over a thousand diggs by Ubuntu fans recently: http://blog.slyon.de/?p=154 we should listen to this stuff i think. perhaps Mark S. can select the mockups to be voted on from a page we provide him? cheers, julian -- julian oliver http://julianoliver.com http://selectparks.net On 11/28/07, Cory K.

Yes, I've read all the discussion. I thought that we moved to another thing, but we don't. Here you have some interesting links: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Official https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuTitle Hope this time we're talking about the same thing ;) 2007/11/28, Cory K.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Technical reality based concept art.
Cory, in the first link (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation) you have a Theming section that links to the the same place that you have posted, live.gnome.com/GnomeArt ;) 2007/11/28, Cory K.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Technical reality based concept art.
No. Im simply talking about a reference page with links to other docs. Like Álvaro posted in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation. Not some mega doc we (kwwii) creates. ;) -Cory Mikkel Kamstrup Erlandsen wrote: On 28/11/2007, *Cory K.* [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Álvaro Medina Ballester wrote: Hope this time we're talking about the same thing ;) Unfortunately no.

Cory, as much as I would like your idea about a reference doc on what can, and what can't, be done in a Gnome theme - and what requires changes to theme engines and/or metacity; I just don't think it can be done. The documentation for what can be done with a theme engine would 99% likely become so long and technical that no-one except die harders would read and understand it. And by die harders I mean people who would have no problem hacking up their own theme engine anyway. Besides the stuff that is possible in theory might not be feasible to implement for a LTS release like Hardy. Our theoretical documents would become even longer and more technical if this important information was added... Alternative: Put some docs on the wiki that tells you howto make mockups that makes it easy to spot impossible feats. Here's how: Take of in a screenshot of an actual theme. Each time you do a manual tweak add a red arrow and a little info-box saying transparent toolbar here. This way it would be trivial to pinpoint places that might be of shady business.

I think that with artwork documentation is enough.
