Re: infinity kde ksplash theme needed
Can't moodin be used? or just disable he splash completely.. that's done in gnome as well so why not in KDE to stay consistent with gnome? (not that i like it that it's turned off..). And if your gonna make it.. please try decreasing the size of that progress text.. it looks kinda ugly. Good job so far. ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Any assistance greatly appreciated as well as likely getting you an adult (or not) beverage of your choice when/if I ever meet you at any fedora or red hat event. :) My motivations - I would like to have a fedora kplash instead of a kde's on FEL Following the discussion with Rex and Kevin on #fedora-kde which ultimately tuned to #fedora-art, there are the constraints: * have a proper color gradient from the splash_top to splash active/inactive bar * the actual inactive/active bar is with echo icons but fedora's kde uses crystal icons by default * not enough time before F8 Based on the above, I've got my hands dirty and created : http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/art/splash_top.png the complete preview: http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/art/preview.png a screencast (poor quality) http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/art/screen1.ogg What I did ? Took the rhgb image and scaled it to 400*248 then from the color of the active/inactive bar I've created a gradient. Kevin's comments: [22:20:23] Kevin_Kofler I think it's a good idea, but the color transition somehow looks artificial. [22:20:50] Kevin_Kofler Maybe a combination of recoloring both the top and the bottom by a small amount (small enough not to look recolored, large enough to get closer to each other) and a smoother gradient can make it look better? [22:21:14] Kevin_Kofler But I have almost zero artwork experience and not a good sense of aesthetics. ;-) [22:21:33] Kevin_Kofler So an actual artwork designer can probably make it look better. Michael's comments [22:14:52] tw2113 for some reason, i want to see the inifity lines a little bit more [22:15:05] tw2113 i kind of think they blend in a little bit too much [22:15:57] tw2113 other than that, i don't see much that i'd change I'm not an artist and I agree with them. It's a bit artificial and I hope an artist could do some final touch. http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/art/kde-splash.png.svg Can any artist in here, add the blue gradient like on the preview.png and at the same time bring the lines of the infinity theme forward please (as soon as possible) ? Jakub, I've no intention to take over your proposal. If you like my proposal, please do take the lead :) regards, Chitlesh -- http://clunixchit.blogspot.com ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
