Uh... you didn't accidentally assume I have = I designed, did you? At any rate, I meant in Fedora, because Klearlooks is the KDE equivalent of Clearlooks, which is what Fedora is using as default in GNOME. I notice that generally, it does a good job of unifying the appearance of programs (though I am mainly a KDE user, I use GTK+ programs as well, so it's nice to have a setup like Bluecurve/QtCurve/*looks to keep the programs looking the same).

If you are interested you just have to read the guidelines and submit a draft package for review. Other more experienced packages will review and provide feedback. Listen and adopt the package according to that and you should be get the package into the repository in a short time. What this requires is interest and some amount of time doing maintenance work like responding to bug reports and keeping the package updated.

User Images
Hello All, I’d like to thank everyone for their submissions to the User Image Request. We received 67 submissions. Along with the images we already had and those from the User Pictures Project, this gave us a total of 223 images from which to choose. Needless to say, it was difficult to narrow these down to 24 default images, but here they are. [1] All 223 images will be packaged along with the release, but they can be found now at: [2] for the set of 24, [3] for extras, and [4] for the source files (warning 49.7M). I would encourage everyone to explore the others and find the one that works best for him/her. In addition, I hope that these will serve as inspiration for other submissions in the future.

Re: Wiki Banner L10N
Hey all. I'd like to share my thoughts on Wiki page banners/headers. This includes the Artwork and L10N efforts. First of all, I'd like to say the idea for per-team banners is a very good one and the proposed ones look *great*. It helps avoid user dis-orientation. Two minor issues: 1. It's good to consider having a consistent and global way to define and re-use such elements. For this, I suggest to put every re-usable element under /WikiElements and decide on *one* way to print these out. Probably using the `Include(From, to)` syntax and maximize the use of CSS. 2. Have the banners following the page H1 heading, not before it. We already have two full-width headers: the wiki global one and the H1 for each page. We might need to decide using *banners* for each project instead of headers, followed by a navigation box. For an example, see: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DimitrisGlezos/WikiPageTemplate The appearance can be greatly improved with CSS. Also, the Project Banner can be integrated in the box to save space and code. Anything wider than 250px wide unfortunately makes the text too narrow in 1024 resolution. For some other CSS tricks, please refer to: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DimitrisGlezos/Sandbox In the quest for code re-use, I suggest to use as much as possible the `Include()` command, so that we can make changes across pages and before applying a multi-page change, to discuss it. Editing a huge amount of pages is a nightmare, as experienced by some of us the last days. :) Also, when we apply such a change we should consider all Projects at the same time. For example, get comments from SCo leaders about their needs and design banners for those projects too. My .02. -d O/H Diego Búrigo Zacarão έγραψε: I would suggest a banner for L10N team to be used in wiki pages of our project like DocsProject http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject and Artwork http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork's wiki.
