But I am still not able to replicate a case when the focus ring is drawn around tab label, but not for the tab itself :( It seems there really are some changes in rawhide... It seems like in F8 draw_focus is not invoked on labels at all, even if their can_focus property is set to true...

Re: A Thought About F9 Artwork
Steven Garrity wrote: John Baer wrote: Does it make sense to change the theme every other release cycle and use the off cycle to improve or tweak the current theme? This is a good point - it would be nice to see a somewhat common theme getting more and more polished with each release. More of an evolution than a complete redesign each time. That said, the last few themes have been a bit like this. Things that are easier to change, like the splash screens and wallpaper can change more frequently and dramatically. Things that are more challenging to redesign well, like Gtk and Metacity themes evolve more slowly. This reminds me of the 6 layers of buildings from Stewart Brand's classic book, How Buildings Learn: http://www.peterme.com/archives/0323.html I would like to see a general visual theme for Fedora that can slowly evolve and improve with each release, but still have enough wiggle-room for each release to feel new and exciting. I proposed a seasonal Spring/Fall theme set to coincide with the time-based release schedule of Fedora back in November. I've been trying to create a page for it on the wiki, but I'm having trouble getting my account created (probably my own fault). Quoting myself: As the Fedora release schedule is now about as reliable as the coming of spring and fall, it occurred to me that spring and fall might serve as appropriate visual themes for alternating releases. Both spring and fall (aka autumn) are nice natural visual metaphors that have recognizable and (potentially) beautiful color schemes associated with them. They are also both natural themes, which can work well for desktop themes. Perhaps we could adopt a spring visual theme for the odd-numbered releases that fall in the spring, and a fall visual theme for the even-numbered releases that fall in the, well, fall. This would also provide a way to have a strong visual change between releases, but still build on a larger theme that could grow more refined over multiple releases. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2007-November/msg00099.html A theme like this would allow a common thread for all Fedora release visuals, but also a nice back-and-forth change for each release. This sounds like a great idea. Can Fedora change colour palette? Sorry for my lack of knowledge if RedHat or Fedora board have forbidden using other colors but blue-gray and the palette around those colors. ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
Re: A Thought About F9 Artwork
Exactly. Fedora should make some revolution, as it's one the most modern distros (openSUSE provides nice GUI improvements, but below GUI, they really suck). openSUSE shows nice artwork progress - every version has new nice art, exactly like Fedora does. We made big improvment from FC5 until F8.

F8 e.g. was probably the first Fedora theme I really enjoyed, nicely professional and sutle. There, following my subjective review we are doing great... woohoo! Basically Bert and Ernie spend the entire review hating on the artwork instead of actually reviewing the distribution and informing people about the cool stuff we worked on.

Luya Reference: [1]http://luya.fedorapeople.org/images/echo/actions/ That's a lot better! What about making it a little more thin like the gnome icon? But nevertheless, this icon is quite easy to recognise which is what we aim for in the first place. Please, use flat perspective for the 22x22 and 24x24 icon as well, to keep consistency with the rest of the icons. Also the 16x16 icon is blurry, perhaps need some simplification and better positioning. Flat pespectives applied on both 22x22 and 24x24 icons[1-4]. I have modified the 16x16 version to be lighter to reduce blurriness although there is a small trace on outline but not enough to detract attention.[5][6] Oh, and maybe, just a little idea, the gradient might be less intensive (i.e. in the bottom left a little lighter and in the top right a little darker), but as it is now it's also great. Ideas used on 16x16 icon. And I just noticed it, but the plug is usually on the other side of the hard-disk, so I'd suggest to either mirror the face side vertically or make the right-hand side silver (similar to the top side).

Re: [Echo] Some updates.
2008/1/9, Luya Tshimbalanga [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Mark a écrit : 2008/1/7, Luya Tshimbalanga [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Camera set icon got more modifications. The inline is more lighter to allow a better transition between value to produce a more volumetric shape[1]. Document-save got revisited to address the issue about the use of floppy disk. It now uses the hard disk drive based from drive-harddisk icon.[2] Document-save-as got the same treatment but smaller icons are not done yet. More new and modified icons to come soon. Luya Hey, i like the new camera icon more than the previous one but this time with the critic that it could use some more contrast. The shape is fine! just play a bit with some colors. Updated version available[1] http://luya.fedorapeople.org/images/echo/devices/ And for document-save.. if i see that icon in a application i would have never guessed that it stands for saving a document. That icon on it's own looks fine but just not for document-save. Perhaps it's better to use a floppy for the saving icon? Floppy disk has been replaced by hard disk drive for document-save. I made a naked version following Martin's suggestion.[2] Luya References [1]http://luya.fedorapeople.org/images/echo/devices/ [2]http://luya.fedorapeople.org/images/echo/apps/ The save icon looks good to me now. The camera icon can still use some more color changes if you ask me. Try making it in the colors of that hard drive. ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
