[oi-dev] Artwork?

2011-03-27 Thread Shawn Thompson
I'm just wondering, are there any plans to begin work on a completely new artwork design for OI? I think we all need to kinda move beyond the usual Nimbus-based art for JDS (which I personally think screams "bootleg OS X" too much, style-wise.) ~Shawn __

And besides, I've barely seen any distribution use a non-standard panel layout in Gnome nowadays (though, OpenSUSE and Mint use a single pane layout with a more Windows-like layout and a different me

You don't see? - Some of the elements look close to say, 10.2. Especially the tabs and buttons. - The scroll bars do look a bit like the OS X ones, but cut off on the side - The shading of a lot of it looks a lot like the Graphite theme - The window border, and their stop light colored buttons. B

I was thinking that maybe we could evolve from Nimbus somehow. Somehow keeping elements/ideas from it, but applying them in new ways. I was looking at that Murrine engine, it has a lot of options, and I mean a lot. And don't forget, if we do change the default, there's nothing stopping you from kee

illumos kind of has a mascot in the phoenix... admittedly not a very "friendly" one, but a starting point perhaps? On 03/30/11 08:34 AM, Hernan Saltiel wrote: Ideas for the mascot? This would be a starting point for the stickers, t-shirts...and why not, some theming too! We thought about this
