Re: Logout screen logos.

2006-04-24 Thread Manu Cornet


Hi !

 Also, should the restart logo be the same colour as hibernate? Restart's
 primary function is that it does the same as shutdown but starts up
 immediately again, and has as drastic a resetting effect. I think it
 should be the same colour as the shutdown logo to represent this
 similarity, rather than the same colour as hibernate.

I would rather suggest to make it a color more towards red, but still
distinguishable from the shutdown icon, since the various colors for
various actions has been my first approach to this dialog, and I think
it works well.

I have suggested a purple icon on

Cheers,
Manu

Logout screen logos.

2006-04-22 Thread Tristan Wibberley
I like the new green logout logo.

But something I've wondered for a while... should hibernate really use
the standby symbol? I think it should use the power symbol like shut
down, leaving standby for sleep alone, since hibernate is actually one
of the two ways to switch off and only sleep puts the computer into standby.

Also, should the restart logo be the same colour as hibernate? Restart's
primary function is that it does the same as shutdown but starts up
immediately again, and has as drastic a resetting effect. I think it
should be the same colour as the shutdown logo to represent this
similarity, rather than the same colour as hibernate.

To summarise these thoughts: Hibernate is off and should have the
power symbol like Shut Down. Shut Down and Restart are system
maintenance actions which do the same thing as each other, but one of
them also (and merely) cuts out the need to press a button to start the
system up again - so they should be more familiar by sharing their colour.
