Hi all, Now, I know raster is working on a new theme, and I know a lot of people already love it, but its so far a lot of the same in terms of whats already out there. (Please dont debate that on this thread!) And I applaud him for keeping to the norm and keeping it simple, but EFL is far more powerful than whats already in there. Im thinking about a theme that does still keep a semi-traditional edge, but really pushes the boundaries of UI, 'beautiful'-ness and originality.
Here are some simple rules. 1. Dont copy Mac. -Apple already done it. 2. Dont copy Vista. -It sucks. :) 3. Dont copy KDE4. -KDE already done it. 4. (Should I even mention gnome?) -Sarcasm. 5. Make sure its entirely usable by people. Half-wits dont generally wander too far from gnome. :) 6. Make the user say "Oh my. Thats something E17 can do? Im in love." 7. K. I. S. S. (Keep It Simple, Stupid!) Youre probably wondering, thats all good and fine, but this means nothing without screenshots. So, Im asking you all for some input. Just some simple ideas, be it for a check box, a window button, a slider, a background... whatever. If you have any screenshots, or like the way some other theme already does something, throw that in there too. But remember, "Originality" is going to be key to this design experiment. I also would like to see this come as a separate theme thats installed as default to show some contrast in E design between rasters new one and this other that hopefully we all make. Lets make E kick ass all over the place!
