Re: [ubuntu-art] new theme
Hello Thomas, That's not off-topic at all. The short answer is given here: http://worldofgnome.org/how-to-theme-gnome-3/ Basically, you download the pieces of the theme you'd like (off of websites like deviantart and gnome-look, or shared with you via ubuntu-one by artists, or however you like) and you use a tool like gnome-tweak-tool to tell your system to use them. If you want to develop your own original GTK3 theme, there's an overview at https://live.gnome.org/GnomeArt/Tutorials/GtkThemes It's technical (requires typing and learning some about how themes work, not point-and-click) but it's not difficult. We use CSS for our themes, and there are a ton of CSS tutorials for the web if you Google for them. However, in our case CSS isn't styling a web page, it's styling computer program interfaces: so we have some differences documented in the howto above. If you want to develop your own original icon theme, there's a detailed discussion on Ask Ubuntu: http://askubuntu.com/questions/47643/how-do-i-make-a-theme-from-scratch-for-unity If you have questions or want help getting started you can ask here or on other more specific mailing lists like the gnome-themes mailing list https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-themes-list On Sat, Jan 5, 2013 at 10:48 AM, Thomas Corwin dog1...@hotmail.com wrote: Hello, Not to get off topic (a lot) but how do you make a theme?

Hey Marco and Omar, welcome and thanks so much for getting involved. Recently, Canonical's thought-leader and CEO Mark Shuttleworth posted to the ubuntu-devel a very nice email that you should read. You can find it here: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2013/01/04/going-mobile-in-2013/ You should read the whole thing, it's not long. But most directly speaking to your interests, he wrote Now is the time to roll up our sleeves and *create*. Think of an app or system feature that you think is really important to have, apply what we’ve learned about design thinking and your own imagination to find elegant, new, fresh ways to deliver that capability, and join us in shaping something that can take the world by storm. Start at developer.ubuntu.comand unleash your creativity, rigour and expertise. I suggest that you pick an app, think of a way that the app could be better, and start a discussion about it. You can take a screen shot of the app and doodle over it with your favorite paint program (Photoshop, The GIMP, Inkscape, etc) or mock-up a whole new window. Give us your ideas and questions, and we'll help you refine them and present them for inclusion in the project. Since there's so much interest in getting started with Ubuntu Artwork, maybe we should have a meeting on IRC to introduce ourselves, some Free Software tools for making Ubuntu Art, and ideas for getting involved. If you'd be interested in attending an IRC meeting, feel free to post hours you'd be available and what time zone you're in so we can coordinate. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

While I'm sure you have the best intentions, posting on several mailing lists at once is not a good idea, as people subscribed to some/all of the list with see lots of duplicated mails, while people that are not on all lists will sooner or later not get to see all relevant posts.

Re: [ubuntu-art] New theme looking for critique based on Human-Clearlooks
Is this better as far as determining which window is unfocused and which is focused? I modified the borders so that the gradient is darker going to lighter when the windows are unfocused, and lighter going to darker when they are focused. I will make a new package soon for this, making the Test2 window border the default one, so you only have 1 package. :) Smartboy On Sun, Jul 6, 2008 at 3:59 AM, Julian Oliver [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ..on or around Sat, Jul 05, 2008 at 09:45:57PM -0700 AA Boy wrote: I made a newer theme based on the Human-Clearlooks theme included with hardy.

Re: [ubuntu-art] New Theme / A great mockup
An interesting mockup indeed! I wonder whether GNOME allows for the theme to be implemented, especially the different themes for each panel and such a nice gradient for the top panel. There's no need for an art director, because there isn't really anyone to direct. Instead, I would recommend the fans of the mockup to try and create an alpha version, so that we all can test it and see how it looks like in real GNOME. This way, I am sure you can gain more contributors and supporters. I really hope you can find the people to turn this mockup into reality!

Re: [ubuntu-art] New Theme
Great to see that you guys want to get involved ! As I already said, I'd like to show you a selection of themes on Gnome-look.org I like (but still haven't done), and then we can work together to make something Ubuntu-styled, clear and modern. Sorin, I do like your theme ! But many people don't want blue themes, cause it reminds Vista and OSX. They say we must keep those orange-brown themes, and I personnaly think we can still make something nice with that. It has also been said that this mockuphttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=437694highlight=mockupwas very nice and should be the default theme in Ubuntu, but which author doesn't seem really active. So we gotta do it ourselves, or just modify some existing theme, using Clearlooks or something else (Murrine engine got a quite good reputation) to make Ubuntu nicer. I'm using a little bit The GIMP to do some web buttons (2.0 ;)), but I'll try to learn how to edit GTK themes, shouldn't be so hard.

Re: [ubuntu-art] New Theme
Well, I can't join, as I am not an artist. But I would like to suggest you that though Aero is not a that much good theme for work, just eyecandy, but OSX looks simple, clean, high contrast and non-boring (original OSX Theme). So, when you are designing a new theme, concentrate over these keywords. Clearlooks too was such great hit because of it.

I have noticed that they have a pretty nice default theme setup. I'm not pointing out the Dropline Neu icons (which do look nice btw), but their new Window Decoration named Solar is what gets pointed out right now. I've noticed that Brezzy's artwork kinda had a Glass theme (like Hoary's theme was Sparkles). I think Dapper should continue the glass look but more advanced. Using a modified version of Solar would be a pretty nice idea (modified means that we could adjust the buttons a little bit and make it a bit more reddish), so who's up for it? http://shots.osdir.com/slideshows/slideshow.php?release=495slide=25 Viper550 I think it looks too childish to be a default theme. -- Travis Watkins http://www.realistanew.com -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
