sad that things so simple need to be done upstream while fedora

In many cases, we don't need to patch anything or we can upstream the 
patches where the functionality gets separated as plugins. This is the 
case with gstreamer plugins as an example.

Ps: I still think that the themed dialog should be the default but that 
is a different argument.

For this banner your primary customer is the Amateur Radio SIG and Bob, 
the requester. He is the one that should give you a thumb up, just ask 
Michael about how he worked [1] on the Fonts SIG banner :p


My advice is to focus on the logo, you will use exactly the same logo 
for the banner and probably a simplified version of it for the icon.

No, you got the process wrong: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EditGroupQueue
1. sign the CLA
2. get wiki edit rights
3. request membership in the Art group in FAS

The task is required only for the last step, which is in addition to CLA 
and wiki editing.
With that being said, seeing your recently activity on the list, I think 
it may be considered enough to get FAS membership of the group.



So any advice appreciated,
currently cannot change status.
Unless I cheat by signing cla,

There *must* be a way to have something both usable and pleasant looking.

To me, shipping two dialogs, one that is usable and another that is 
pretty is like knowingly ship something broken and just papering over it 
a temporary solution.
And I learned sometime you have to break the temporary solution to get 
the problem solved properly.



But *not* making a prettier dialog just because it's not the default
seems very silly to me.  After all, I work on maintaining packages
that aren't installed by default.  If everyone felt that doing
something not installed by default was not worth the effort, it would
be a pretty lame distro!

I personally think we should enable lock-screen-dialog theme by default 
but leave the splash screen off.
( with the new gdm look it looks out of place + my laptop is so fast 
loading I just see for very short time :) )


Not enabling it puts the lock screen out of place with the overall theme.

I also think the lock screen dialog should look closer to the gdm look.

We could move the password and the buttons beneath the picture and the

And drop the login name and the hostname I don't see the purpose of

Hum skip the lock-screen-waves looking more like the gdm login box.

I always end up with conclusion that the gdm login box is out of place.

One of the things that the new gdm architecture should allow us to do
(in theory, at least) is to _use_ the login screen for unlocking a
locked session.

Maybe you don't realize that _we_ were the ones who added the code for
themed lock dialogs in the first place ? We tried it, and consider it a
bit of a failed experiment. If it causes the art team heartburn, we
should probably just rip it out again...

2008-04-15 Thread María Leandro
hi.

I was looking the Fedora Design Service request and made some draft. This
came out. Maybe it could work.

Salutex!

 One of the things that the new gdm architecture should allow us to do
 (in theory, at least) is to _use_ the login screen for unlocking a
 locked session.
 

Now, *that* would be great! We only need to make the gdm a little
prettier. I myself think that it's a good idea to use plain gtk in there
against standard background, but there's one thing that's kinda missing
- window manager. The window in the dialog looks a little strange,
because it does not have any borders and it's just plain rectangle.
Rounded corners and simple border (note, that I mean border only - no
window caption) wouldn't hurt IMHO.

Generally, I dislike themed lock dialogue (but don't like the look of
the unthemed one either), usually it gets a little too fancy and not
much usable. I don't think themes are well fit for such dialogues...

Clever move, this graphic is important, very soon we will hold release 
parties, those parties will be listed in the Events page and the Events 
page does not have a banner yet.


Please post the image in the wiki and let the requester (Fabian 
Affolter) know about it.


As for the particular graphic, I am *not* concerned about the calendar 
being English (some may be), but I would add a drop shadow to the icon.

2008-04-15 Thread Jóhann B. Guðmundsson

snip

One of the things that the new gdm architecture should allow us to do
(in theory, at least) is to _use_ the login screen for unlocking a
locked session.
  

snip

Given that theory works, how customizable is that?
As in having separated theme for different state of logged in user.

Different background,
Different color on login box
Different color on the user currently in locked state or switched user 
state.

( few things on top of my head.. )

This theory could be a potential feature for F10.
Instead of have to create  2 separated themes for gdm and lock
one could just be created which changes background and or changes just the
color on the user box in the gdm login box depending on the state that 
the user

is inn ( locked or switched ).

Re: FedoraEvents - Artwork/DesignService

2008-04-15 Thread ryan lerch
that's awesome... what font(s) are used for the text on these banners?
i might make up a default template with clones and such, allowing for easy
creation of these banners...

On the subject of the banner itself, i like the second one better (with the
squares instead of the written date...)
IMO, it still portrays the Event / Date metaphor effectively. The only other
ideas i had for an image for this banner were involving party items like a
foamy beer or a martini, which could also protray an Event. However i
think the date / calendar image is a much better way to go
