Re: [ubuntu-art] Launchpad Logo, Request for Feedback

I really like that logo, however, I do feel that a previous suggestion (the one that consisted of arrows and the like) would be a better logo, not because its artistically better or otherwise, but that rocket, beautifully detailed as it is, might not come out so well at very small sizes. Either way

Re: [ubuntu-art] Wallpapers?

SVGs would be preferable because it means that the graphic can be made potentially in any range of graphics. On the other hand if you don't want "the vector look" then you'll need to use a raster graphics package. You'll likley find that you'll be asked for xcfs for GIMP so if you have any experien

Re: [ubuntu-art] Mockup!

That is a simply stunning theme! I really like it. We need to get building it though if there is going to be a chance of getting it finished for the final release. I think a non-composited version would look good but the orange borders (very cool) would need to be made a little thinner and make a s

Re: [ubuntu-art] next meeting

With regards to the file manager idea I think this would simply be genius! A start would be possibly to port across KDE's fabulous content sensitive "New device found" type window which offers such functionality. Given how good F-Spot is (and how few people realize it exists!) it would be great to

Re: [ubuntu-art] next meeting

I do not think removing the desktop as a junk store is a good idea: think about a real desk top (the top of a desk!!) - when you are working on something, it, along with the other bits and pieces are placed over your desk, along with a scattering of tools (pens, pencils etc). The desktop as a tempo

Re: [ubuntu-art] next meeting

Docks are a problem (though the rest seems alright) 1) None of the docks out there work properly without compositing 2) None seem to be stable 3) They are not actually as good as a task bar (in many people's opinion) 4) The implementations that I have seen do not work as well as apples dock (which

No, it is something very valuable, though only really on mobile or public systems: when I am using my laptop it allows me to quickly throw it

This certainly frustrates me, though I have now learn't to expect it in places where it happens, it is a very annoying problem and a massive usability bug for the majority of people who do not hold thier mouse button down when browsing menus. On 30/01/2008, Matthew Nuzum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Re: [ubuntu-art] hardy sounds

While that is obviously appreciated I think its quite funny that to aleviate the problem of sending large files, you have in turn sent more files. I quite like the sounds however they do sound a tad too electronic (especially the startup sounds). Otherwise I like the general "feel" of these sounds

Re: [ubuntu-art] how do you add a startup sound

I'd say it was a bad idea to try and immitate something, Ubuntu's credibility as something new and original would be harmed if immitated well and would be mocked if done badly. Try to come up with something original and not to "fall in to line behind the rest" by making sounds similar to other oper

Re: [ubuntu-art] 3d wallpapers

Generally for official art work you should avoid putting Ubuntu logos on it (things like wallpaper this is). Not sure about anything else, just try to stick to the official colour schemes and then the rest is probably up to you. Jonny On 25/01/2008, CALGAR CALGAR <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > el

Re: [ubuntu-art] Some Themes Ideas

The Deviant lines theme looked really good, a very original design that integrates well and has a nice clean appearance. It's also nice to see a theme that doesn't have very chunky borders which just waste space and make the interface feel a lot more chunky. I would in this theme prefer to see a la

Re: [ubuntu-art] New titlebar (Metacity theme) for Hardy

The theme has some nice touches (I am a fan of all things glossy) though I have 3 deal-breaker scale problems with this theme: 1) It uses a *lot* of space which is not utilized fully (the generous borders and the like - remember "average" users are only just beginning to get beyond 1024x786 and wit
