 Hey,

 attached is my first attempt at it.
 it's the default video-display together with a modded  user-idle

 So what do you think of it?

 Mark.
   

 
It looks too dark and it will be hard to see the icon on small size
especially 22x22 and 24x24. I suggest to look to this page[1] as
reference to help you out and make sure to read Echo guideline[2].

Máirín Duffy a écrit :
 - I think the pattern is very interesting - I am not sure I fully
 understand the cultural context behind these patterns though. Can you
 explain their meaning / connotations a bit more?
There are a variation of meaning depending the complexity of the
pattern. They are based on natural element such as footprint, animal
shape to name a few. There is 150 different patterns, each with their
own name.

  What is the cloth used for?
Decoration, ceremony, funeral ritual, gift and money. Note that shoowa
is also a velvet.

  Who makes it?
Both men and women (woven and embroiled with no visible stitches
respectively)  Women from Kuba people including the sub group with the
same name (Shoowa) from Democratic of Congo. Henri Matisse design was
also inspired from the Kuba.
  Do the patterns symbolized anything?
They symbolize the rank of the makers depending the complexity of the
patterns.

  What is the cloth made out of?
A shoowa is made of fiber of raffia palm as the basis. Coloured versions
use plant dye while royal version has additional small shells.
  Do any of these have implications that relate to
 Fedora?
   
It represents the diversity of skills, balance and rhythm from the
community balance and rhythm. The ideas are to create a variety of
geometrical pattern corresponding to the days of week. It does not have
to be overly complicate hence the reason to use basic shape instead.


More information is available on www.shoowa.com and there is series of
images of shoowa velvet displaying various patterns.

  Would be best if you used the one from lighting section of the

Re: Round 1

2008-01-11 Thread Laith Juwaidah
I have an idea, since we don't want the code to be put on the screen because 
that'll comprimise the user's privacy, and all, why don't we create a small 
pattern that'll change the background depending on the code, well, parts of 
the code.
I don't know how the code looks like but I'll just assume it's something like 
this: 67c1e19532a4c47461486a5d8ad3ac74 (which is Fedora 9's md5sum :D
In this case we can create an algorithm that does the following (it's just an 
example):
1. Takes the first 3 digits as a HEX number and % it by 360 and then rotate 
the shape that many degrees.
2. Take the fourth and the fivth digits and increase the R by the amount of 
the fourth digit if the fifth digit % 2 is positive.
3. Take the sixth and the seventh digits and do the same for G.
4. Take the eighth and the ninth digits and do the same for B.

etc...
This way, the usrer's privacy won't be comprimised, and we can still brag 
about giving the users different backgrounds, which is somethig that no other 
distro have done (just a guess).

What do you think?

22x22/24x24 are the most important sizes of this icon.

I think every goodie which makes the maschine (a little more) unique is
good, the user who sits in front of the maschine think and maybe say:
HEY, this is MY 'number' nobody else in the world has this
Wallpaper/Background like me ...
but he will find several other Fedora user which have a likewise. This
identifies you then to be part of a greater community :-)

Just my thoughts

Re: Focus issues in new Nodoka

2008-01-11 Thread Martin Sourada


 A tab isn't a widget and not a possible focus location itself. Only the
 widget inside (usually a label) is.
 
 I disagree that it cannot be helped. Compare Clearlooks:
 http://people.redhat.com/mclasen/clearlooks-tabs.png
 

I enabled (in git) drawing of focus ring for the widest variety of
widgets I could, as a result the focus is drawn twice in the tabs, but
it does not look much bad IMO. Let me know what you think about it (most
likely if it fixes the issue conveniently).

Thanks,
Martin
