Re: New icon set to use?
I realize this is all very subjective and can't please everyone. Plan is, Faenza if packaged and most likely Elementary as a backup. We will develop our own folders and whatnot as they come in. That set will inherit whatever becomes our new base set. The current Tango-based set will made available. In what for will be determined later. -- -Cory K. -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
RE: New icon set to use
I just looked at this icon set, I don't really like the conversion to squared icons of the iPhone type myself. If anyone wants to keep the old icons, they will need to find a way to re-name the icon theme. Simply renaming the folder in /us/share/icons never worked in my prior experiments, presumably due to theme index issues. Although I have never built my customized UI into debs as of yet, I wonder if I should learn to do so and eventually create a PPA somewhere for the UI I have developed during the Natty cycle, under a new name or something. It is the existing Ubuntustudio theme with some blue elements changed to a turquise(that could be reverted for a PPA), the existing Ubuntustudio icons, GNOME3 with compiz/unity(unity will be ported to GTK3 this cycle, simplifying matters here) and the cube, and cairo-dock with the original ubuntustudio menu on the left and a row of launchers for media apps. I am keeping this interface, with a little creative theme renaming(Ubuntustudio-legacy?) it could be installed right alongside the upcoming Ubuntustudio UI from a PPA, rather in the manner of installing GNOME3 in Natty but far simpler. A possible advantage of XCFE will appear in older, Pentium 4 class machines doing media work: Avoiding the increased resource use of the newer GNOME interfaces, a problem I find ironic given that the whole UI state of flux seems to stem from the lightweight proprietary OS that had to be developed for the iPhone, a very low powered device. This could help with latency issues. Back in 2008, I ran the Ubuntustudio theme with XFCE on a Pentium 3 for audio, and had just one problem: minimized windows disappeared entirely. I might have kept that on bigger machines had it not been for that. -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel

Re: New icon set to use?
UbuntuStudio being an 'art' focused distro makes me think you would want to make it as graphically and visually appealing to use as possible, no? Even if Ubuntu looks minimalistic, would we not want Ubuntu Studio to still be the cream of the crop for Linux artistic work, and be a step up visually (even if plain Ubuntu indeed looks more minimalistic)?(I understand this is very subjective though.)

Re: New icon set to use?
Not to detract from that work but the Faenza icons are especially 'square-ish'. What about nouveXT2? http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/nuoveXT+2?content=56625 In my opinion, XFCE looks a little harder on the edges (square-ish) than Gnome, so wouldn't it be nice to provide an icon set that helps to graphically elevate the sophistication level and add to the visual appeal? If not nouveXT2, then I'd recommend something less square and more sophisticated looking. Just an opinion. ** On Thu, May 19, 2011 at 10:31, Ronan Jouchet wrote: > On Thu, May 19, 2011 at 11:26 AM, C K wrote: > > So with the new UI we'll be using a new icon set. Suggestions?
