Re: New icons Screen shot

[Shubham Mishra]

Here are two screenshots with the new icons used with a flat monochrome
icon theme called "Any Colour You Like", which I've used before and
really liked on a dark GTK theme called "Buonanotte", and also on a
light theme called "Clearlooks" for reference.

(NOTE: The menu panel icon is broken, I couldn't figure out how to fix it)

Looks nice to me, since everything has that monochrome look (most of the
common apps are covered as well). I don't have confusion regarding the
UBS specific menus because of the separators, but then other DEs might
display it differently. Opinions?



Goofed up there with the duplicate links. This is one for the dark theme

The folders should be names 16, 22, 48 and scalable for unsized svg. If
you add a folder, then the ubuntustudio/index.theme needs to be edited to
include it in two places. There is a one line directory list and then
there is a directory description section. Actually the theme description
could be changed too, right now it says "Comment=Extra icons only Studio
uses" If we decide to expand beyond that we should change that too.

BTW if there is a better icon theme to inherit than elementary-xfce-dark,
then that might be another thing we should run past the leads. The icons
that lubuntu uses for example are already pretty monochrome. Some apps
(most) are always going to have colour though, but having monochrome
submenu icons might help make them stand out... I'm not sure, art and

Re: New icons Screen shot

[Jimmy Sjölund]

I really like the 'flat' design, which is also popular at this time.

I'm not sure how I feel about the black/white, to me it's a bit harsh. Is
there any dark grey or dark blueish colour from the Ubuntu Studio palette
that could be used?

Nice work and cool icons!

I installed the theme using the ppa. Looks decent enough on both dark 
and light backgrounds. But the synth icon definitely needs to be remade 
separately in 16x16. So does the photography icon, as it looks just like 
circles, not a camera shutter. I'll start working on them.
Also should I export them in higher resolutions and place them in 
folders with that name? Because when required, the desktop might 
upsample from the 48x48 images, which would look bad.

Re: New icons Screen shot

[lukefromdc]

The menu icons are gorgeous in Cinnamon. I dropped them into 
my "UbuntuStudio-Legacy" icon theme to properly support the
new menus. The .deb will be installed into the US Raring image
I have been playing with for the Meta.

They go very nicely with the black "GNOME" menu
background theme and will look similar in any menu in any DE
with a black background. Nice work, much clearer than the 
previous icons in the menu!

First off, if you want to play with them, they are available for saucy at:
https://launchpad.net/~len-ovenwerks/+archive/ppa

But the screen shot is at:

http://www.ovenwerks.net/UStudiodocs/menu.html

Hit the reload if it is not the first thing on top.

These are just proposed at this time, so comments would be great.
