KDE too.

I think the KDE project won't be too happy about seeing a gear-themed GNOME in 
Fedora 10. ;-)

Use syslinux theme for grub as well? [Fwd: live CD grub theme vs installed grub theme]

2008-04-05 Thread Martin Sourada
Hi,

I just run by this message on the test list, and what is said there is
true... The GRUB image looks a little strange (due to indexing we are
limited a lot), while the syslinux one looks awesome and pretty good
with indexing as well. So I thought, as is suggested in the message,
that we should use the Syslinux indexed version for GRUB as well.

Any thoughts?

Martin

Is there meant to be a difference between grub themes from the Live CD snapshots 
to what a user gets when its installed to disk?  I see the 'fedora water rings' 
theme on the Live CD but on my installations I've got a blue theme with a small 
gold emblem in the lower right.


Is the fedora water ring theme supposed to be the final theme?  It looks much 
better than this other one.

Fwd: Release Party Flyers

2008-04-05 Thread Jeffrey Tadlock
Hi Art Team,

I posted the below to the art list late last week, it doesn't look
like I had any takers.  The Fedora Ambassador Steering Committee is
planning on making the Release Party push to the Ambassadors at the
beginning of the upcoming week.  I would like to be able to provide a
generic flyer to ambassadors that they can use with minimal changes to
print up for their local release party.

I have absolutely zero artistic ability and could use some help with
this flyer. I am picturing a one-sheet flyer themed with F9 graphic(s)
and a text box somewhere on the page where the ambassador can fill in
their release party date, time, location and any special events they
might be doing at the party.  It would be good if the flyers could be
printed in color or black and white and still look presentable.

If I can provide you with more information, please don't hesitate to
let me know.  If someone could help me out with this, I would greatly
appreciate it - as would the other FAmSCo members.

Thanks!
Jeffrey

Subject: Release Party Flyers
To: Discussions about the artwork included with Fedora, including
icons, themes, and wallpapers. fedora-art-list@redhat.com

Hello Art Team,

 FAmSCo is trying to get Ambassadors to host release parties during the
 first week or so of the Fedora 9 release in their area.  Francesco
 announced the idea to the Ambassadors list here:

 
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-ambassadors-list/2008-March/msg00145.html

 As part of this, I would like to make it even easier for Ambassadors
 by having some flyers they can download off the wiki to hang up in
 their area announcing their local release party (and, uh, who am I
 kidding - I need some flyers for the release party we are planning
 here in Central Ohio...).

 I am thinking just a one sheet flyer that we can print up and hang on
 University bulletin boards, coffee shop hangouts, computer stores,
 etc.  Now, the dates will most likely vary between area for their
 release party date - so in order to be most useful it would be handy
 for the average non-art person to be able to modify the date, time,
 location and a little area for any special notes.

 Is this something someone could help me out on?

 Thanks!
 Jeffrey

USB key labels

2008-04-05 Thread Karsten 'quaid' Wade
In thinking about loading USB keys of live Fedora 9 for a community
event, I thought it would be cool if we had Fedora 9 Live (or
something) stickers/labels to a-fix to them.

All USB keys are not the same size, that is true, but they are often
long and rectangular.  If we had a compact image that was in a
rectangular or square shape, sized to fit common label dimensions, it
would be fairly simple to print to a sheet of paper labels.  Not the
ideal long-term solution, but far less expensive than getting USB keys
printed.

Before I do a bunch of research on label standards, does anyone know
about this already?

What might be good art to work with?  Some of the banner widgets are a
nice shape for a label.  We'd also want a bit more information on it,
such as a URL and copyright info; whatever we put on a DVD label
already.

- Karstren

I'm working on this... basically grub sometimes resizes to be a smaller 
square in the center of the screen on some types of systems including 
apple hardware), so pjones thought it would be good to have artwork that 
fades out at the edges to a solid color so grub wouldn't look so strange 
on these systems. This wouldn't work with the current grub image so 
we're playing with the syslinux image indexed and faded at the edges for 
grub instead. I'll post what I've got next week.

Thanks Máirín!  Let me run some ideas by FAmSCo and then I will post

Is it possible to have a text box area where an Ambassador could open
the flyer and modify the date, time, location and notes section
themselves?  My hope is to provide ambassadors with a general release
party flyer that they can add in their own date, time and location.
That will allow us to use this flyer as a basis for all of the Release
Parties we hope to see thrown shortly after the launch of Fedora 9.

Thanks again!

F9 KDM [Re: [F10 theme proposal] Gears Round 1]

 We would be happy to have any piece of artwork that can be used to

Then can you use PNGs? But, if you need to use SVGs I bet that opening
them in Inkscape and resaving them as Plain SVGs would make the
rendering by the kdm's SVG engine better. However, it uses a fair bit of
advanced effects like blur, which takes quite long time to render, so
I'd advice you to use PNGs instead.

Btw. I might be able to do a sketch for KDM (real theme is a no-go for
me, I don't have neither experience nor KDM) if you are interested, I
just need to know, how much you are able to do :)

I would guess the simplest way to do this is to keep the date / time / 
location fields blank, let the ambassadors fill this out on a printout 
using a magic marker and then make xerox copies?

Fedora 9 Waves KDM mockup

2008-04-05 Thread Martin Sourada
Hi,

as I promised, I sketched an idea for KDM. It's supposed to give the
general idea, so I didn't bothered with proper sizes, and I am aware
that on real desktop it will not be 640x480...

It's a rather dark theme, based on slightly edited night wallpaper. To
keep some consistency with F9 GDM, the settings panel is at the
bottom; and vertically in the centre (optically), horizontally to the
left (to keep some distance from the burning sulphur) is the
face-browser plus login window.

I hope it's still in time for someone to make the KDM theme :)

I uploaded it to my fedorapeople page.
