>The reasoning is simple, when you use your phone everyday (as I am), >you want to suspend it *fast*. Without going to the illume icon view. >So I think the design should include it. Yes, I will take a look at this. >Until now I requested the following things from Jon: >1. put each topbar icon as a separate .png file online with an >appropriate license. There's one problem with this, not all of the icons are created by me, they are royalty free icons which i've had laying around for quite a while, and I really can't remember where I got them. This might be a problem, but it should not be a huge deal for me to draw new ones if this is preffered? I don't know if we can re-release under a licence, since they're free for all, do you? >2. show me one screen with unsmoothed text (whatever it means) I will change this. >I have been thinking about implementing a bit more. I will read >one more time throughly the proposal, and write a summary letter, >how I think we should proceed, and how others can dive >into e gui development. Nice. >Jon: Can you redraw the home screen using inkscape? Just that one: http://jonkristian.no/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/main.jpg Yes I can. >Here is a barebone .svg file, to get starting: http://laszlo.krekacs.googlepages.com/concept_drawing.svg Thanks. >Dont concentrate on the small details, ie. the gradients between the rows. >Use simple rectangles, also for the icons you can use your already separated .png files. I might have to draw a new iconset myself, because I'm not sure we can re-release royalty-free stuff, in any case, it should be fairly simple. >I will be offline for the weekend, so my detailed letter will come on monday the latest. Until it's plenty of time for inkscape >learning;-) >I can't promise any work this weekend, been to the dentist today and pulled two teeth, don't feel quite well yet. >ps: For gui development we will use inkscape. The reasoning is simple: >it is the best (open source) program for the purpose. So if we would >use photoshop for example, its a huge (financial) barrier for others to enter. >Also with inkscape, with a little training, you can exactly feel how >the gui will be build. In edje, the gui is drawn on a canvas, just like >in inkscape. Only limited thing is, we dont have that many tool (ie. >we only have rectangles, images, texts, etc in our repertoire, and not >the more advanced things like vector circle, spiral or bezier curve >as in inkscape) Inkscape and photoshop ain't comparable, ps is not for vectors. But I always work with my mockup's in ps, I'll draw these in illustrator, there's no problem exporting them as svg and opening in inkscape, as far as i know. - Jon Kristian -- http://divineintervention.no
