Re: [Sugar-devel] ASLO layout issue in safari
Hi Caroline, Thanks for the feedback! I actually wasn't planning on making this a cross web browser upgrade, but only for gecko/browse. If there's a general consensus that it should be bug free for other browsers, I can see the reasoning for that and I'm willing to make it work. I'm guessing you'd like to see it work in safari/ie/chrome/opera as well? If others want to chime in please do so. -Josh Caroline Meeks Fri, 09 Oct 2009 05:13:06 -0700 Nice!

Re: [Sugar-devel] New Sugar theme for Activity Library (comments)
From: Eben Eliason e...@laptop.org Cool! Thanks! A few comments: 1. I don't really like the way that Activities is positioned as a superscript after the Sugar logo. I think that activities could follow on the line below the Sugar logo, left aligned (there may be other equally good options). I did that to give the page a nice vertical rhythm, activities lines up with register/login. I played around with some other options, but I thought that looked the best. I'll try a few different iterations, and maybe send you a screenshot. Please feel free to do the same. *just noticed a layout problem with the registration page. Yikes. 2. The green interspersed throughout threw me off a bit. The styleguide for Sugarlabs pages, as I understand it, is a two-tone color scheme (in addition to the grayscale) inherited from the logo, so that all of the content and links share the colors in the logo on the page. If we could fix that, especially in the menu on the left, I think it would tie in with the other pages better. Good point, I'll change that. 3. The link hover style on other Sugarlabs pages is usually to invert the foreground and background colors, which usually means white text against the dark logo color. This is another change that we could integrate throughout to add consistency to the theme. Another good point. Thanks for the feedback Eben! Good work!

Re: [Sugar-devel] #1088 UNSP: change ASLO favicon
I don't really have a preference, but I'm currently using the blue logo with the light blue stroke for the redesign of ASLO which is moving slowly, but still moving : ). So it would make the most sense if we used the matching favicon http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/File:Favicon_04.png . I'm open to changing the logo color as well, but I think which ever color we choose for the logo it should match the favicon or vice versa. -Josh Aleksey Lim wrote: On Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 05:30:12AM -, SugarLabs Bugs wrote: #1088: change ASLO favicon --+- Reporter: RafaelOrtiz| Owner: alsroot Type: enhancement| Status: new Priority: Unspecified by Maintainer | Milestone: Unspecified by Release Team Component: activities.sugarlabs.org |Version: Unspecified Severity: Unspecified| Keywords: Distribution: Unspecified| Status_field: Unconfirmed --+- Now, ASLO's favicon is the same as addons, we have to chenge ir for our own favicon http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/File:Favicon_02.png I wonder what color scheme should be used for ASLO favicon? http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/File:Favicon_02.png is used for wiki http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/File:Favicon_04.png according to http://people.sugarlabs.org/ is planet favicon ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
[Sugar-devel] upstream AMO update (ASLO)
Hey everyone, In case you didn't know, AMO just got a big update https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ . Looks like a lot of the junk markup was removed so it will be easier to work with. However, since a lot of the markup has changed (for the better), the sugar-specific stylesheet for ASLO will need to be rewritten.

Re: [Sugar-devel] [Marketing] [IAEP] ASLO - rebranding
Thanks everyone, Gary mentioned Hey, fab, looking much cleaner/simpler/Sugar-like :-) One quick thought (will try to take a closer look later), would double thickness borders work better, make the colour theme pop a little more, feel more robust? Regards, --Gary I agree that adding two or three pixels to the borders would help the design. However, if there aren't any major objections to the design, I think we should push it to the live ASLO, and make minor changes later. Any thoughts on this? I can play around with adding thicker borders, but I'll have to adjust the widths of all the relevant divs and edit a few images. I can do this, but I'm a little pressed for time at the moment and would hate for this to stagnate any more than it has already.

Hey everyone, I've finally started a style sheet for ASLO. You can see what I have so far at http://activities-devel.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/ . It's not much, but I'm moving forward. Just wondering if there was a consensus to ditch the advanced search options? I think it might be a good idea for the sake of simplicity and ease of use for kids. However, I don't know if it's something some users actually need. I think at the very least within categories should be removed even if we do keep the advanced options.

I put a link up at http://digg.com/linux_unix/Sugar_version_0_84_released If we all digg this story, it should drive a lot of traffic to the site and get people more aware of the project (if it makes the front page of course).

Eben Eliason wrote: On Wed, Mar 4, 2009 at 5:27 AM, Tomeu Vizoso to...@sugarlabs.org wrote: Hi Josh, I'm wondering how we can move forward on this. I see two possibilities: - keep insisting to the Design team to give feedback on your mockups and reach an agreement with them after a number if iterations. Christian and I both gave some feedback on what must have been another thread. I think we should go through a few iterations if we could, to bring the wireframe of sorts into a fleshed out design consistent with the Sugar Labs web presence. A few suggestions were: use an official Sugar Labs logo and colors; use a solid white background; scratch the gradients (which aren't part of our visual language); likewise no bevels; and perhaps a design for the content areas that doesn't feel quite as enclosed. We should also discuss a bit the ways we want the site to work. I know that Josh has been designing to an XO-sized display, but there are of course ways to make the page scalable as well, which we might consider. Yeah, we could make the site a percentage based-width, with a max/min-width like the mozilla guys do it, or set the width with ems to have a truly scalable site (which I think is a very good option). The XO actually has a fairly decent resolution, so I don't think it would hurt anyone else's browsing experience to just have a fixed width. Regards, Josh Also, we should talk about the way we want to expose the activities. One approach is shown in the mockup—a single featured activity—but I would actually lean toward something that looks a lot like the activities page on the static portion of the site, with an array of activities with icons and brief one-line descriptions in a grid, so that it's easy to jump into any of a number of recently added activities right from the home page.I actually think the static activities page might be a good one to build out from in terms of a design, adding components such as search fields, category menus, etc. I'd be happy to find some time to iterate on the proposed design add my thoughts into this design space over the next week or so. Perhaps Christian will have insight as well. - Eben - implement your design in activities-devel.sugarlabs.org and ask the community for opinions before applying those changes to production.

[Sugar-devel] Design ideas for a.sl.o and sugarlabs
Carol, Thanks for the kind words. That's a good idea for providing a screen shot, that's what they do at addons.mozilla.org . It might be somewhat difficult however to implement an enlargeable thumbnail because the developers would have to create two images, and I would probably have to jump through a few hoops writing the javascript and editing the current a.sl.o code. I haven't looked at the code yet, so I don't know what the developers are looking at when they're uploading an activity or what would be involved for me, but it's a good idea. Cheers, Josh Carol Farlow Lerche wrote: I think a simple design such as Josh's is ideal to use for all kid facing pages. The school server could benefit from a similar theme. Personally, while I think someone talented (as Josh obviously is) could make a related theme for adults and kids, it is much more important to have a less text-intensive, more kid-friendly face for the target audience, which is kids. One comment on the design itself...perhaps have a thumbnail screenshot of the activity visible for enlargement if available? We could encourage authors to supply one when the activity is submitted. Things are kind of confusing right now with the different styles of wiki, trac, addons, schools, gitorious, api, buildbot, etc. planet is the lone exception, it seems to follow wiki.sugarlabs.org http://wiki.sugarlabs.org nicely :) It would be great if the Design Team could comment on this decision. Here are a couple other web infrastructure ideas: + Improve theming consistency among various SL.o sites. + Single sign on cookie among all SL.o sites - perhaps OpenID based. + Standard nav header atop all SL.o sites rather than the various nav headers in different places, with different links. The various gnome sites such as build.gnome.org http://build.gnome.org and www.gnome.org http://www.gnome.org are very nice examples of common theming tying sites together. Some thing similar for SL would be great. david + Better splash page for Gitorious, looking more like GitWeb - a page with a small search box at the top and the rest being a list of projects, sorted by recent activity, showing owner and last commit details Best regards, Wade On Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 11:10 AM, ,Josh williams joshcwilli...@gmail.com mailto:joshcwilli...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I'm working on the design of sugar labs add-ons with Mick Weiss.
