Re: [libreoffice-design] "Challenge Continues"-Banner
hi the word cloud thing is a bit tricky... if it is well readable, it doesn't look very good, and if it looks good you can't really read it^^ i tried to have a a bit of both in the new version. http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Libo-challengecontinues-banner-by-tobias.png the space between the words is bigger now, and different for every word. this improves the "word cloud impression" a bit, but it is still readable. i hope the space between "donate now" and the document symbol is big enough now;) Am Sonntag, den 27.02.2011, 00:38 +0100 schrieb Bernhard Dippold: > Tobias Bernard schrieb: > > ok, i've reworked the banner, trying to consider all your suggestions, > > but i didn't understand what's wrong with the spacing (point one in the > > guidelines) > > The distance of the logo (in your case the symbol at the bottom of the > banner) to every graphical element outside the logo shouldn't be less > than half the width of the symbol. > > As the symbol reached nearly the borders of the banner, elements put > beside the banner could have compromised the symbol - reducing the > visual impression we want to achieve with our logo and it's elements. > > But in your new version (I add the link again: > http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Libo-challengecontinues-banner-by-tobias.png) > > this is much better!

Re: [libreoffice-design] ligatures in the logo [was: LibO logo]
> > RGB ES schrieb: > > I can see a problem on this discussion: a sans serif "i" should not >> have, ehr, serifs... >> > True, but ligatures per se are not serifs. If they look like a serif then there's something wrong. I asked a friend of mine who studies design to have a look at that issue, and she told me that many sans serif fonts do indeed have ffi ligatures, just as Bernhard said. She also had another idea, which I'll also give a try: http://tinyurl.com/6x7fyg7 Only on serif fonts it is ok to link the f and the i (and to make the >> f "grab" the dot from the i), but not on sans serif or grotesque >> fonts. >> > I don't think that's correct. Ligatures are just a way to make the text look more even and to avoid tiny gaps and collisions. Have a look at the original logo: the "i" is shifted to the right (it has a larger distance from the second f than the first two f's). This creates an ugly white gap in between the f and the i. To avoid that, one shifts the i to the left. Without ligature (which just means: changing individual letters) both the dot on the i as well as the bar on the f collide with the other letter. Thus, one needs ligatures. (Sorry if I'm repeating stuff you already said, Bernhard. You're right with what you say.) @Bernhard: Do you mean the bow on the first f should also point towards the middle of the i? Or just bend exactly the same way the second f does? I raised the dot because I thought it looked better (I didn't think much about that, to be honest). I guess I wanted to avoid bending the f bow too much - if you leave the dot where it was and still want the f bow to point towards it, you have to bend it very strongly which doesn't look good. Therefore I centerd it on the line which is also the baseline of the first f's bow tip (see the detail images). I'll give above said things a try later and reply again when I'm done.

Hi NIk, all, I'm reading all you motif mails, but I didn't manage to comment them.

If we want to look at a utopia world, I would like to see a motif that covers - freedom (freedom of chioce, a free file format, freedom from computer and Internet quality, freedom to be used on every platform, freedom to be used by people without a large monetary budget ...) - openness (open to all people by providing the freedom above, open to impaired people, open for improvements by free and proprietary additions, open for new single contributors as well as new language or platform teams, with an open mind and an open heart...) - security (secure to be readable in future times, secure from exploited leaks and bugs - or in a more realistic way: a security concept that closes all these issues in a very fast way, secure to be worked on in future - at least with the ability for everybody to keep on improving it ...) - individuality (individual themes, personal choice of extensions, support on individual strategies to use the office suite - indiviualized start center ...) - professionalism (professional quality, a reasonable choice for business and administrative / governmental usage, professional look and feel, professional way to handle alternative products ...)

[libreoffice-design] Onscreen Revision naming convention change
I've been carefully running around the several groups created for Libre and snooping here & there for where I might be most effective to jump in and lend assistance. I want to learn the app a little better first, but here's my first serious suggestion that should be very easy to implement. Please, please, please, PLEASE, when the rev changes, USE THE NEW REV in the installer and installation pages, NOT just "3.3" when it's 3.3.1! Just like OO.o, there is no way to tell whether you are installing 3.3.1 or 3.3.0 and as more upgrades become available, the situation will get worse, just like with OO.o. I forgot and worried that I hit a wrong key and was installing 3.3.0 and not 3.3.1 today! I had to go through the complete installation until I could open one of the apps and check Help to see what version of the program I'd installed. The Help menu is the ONLY place the revisin shows up! Why can't the revision level be specified on the installer pages? Seems simple enough to implement. I can agree with calling it Version 3 period, but I should also be able to see 3.3.1 is being installed somewhere early on in the install process. The "3.3.1" shows in the installer filename but you don't see it again until after the install completes and you can open one of the apps and check Help About. THEN, after the install, I have to go around and make sure the old Libre shortcuts go to 3.3.1 or did a path change and only the newly placed icon works? Same goes for the Windows Programs List; add the stupid "... .1" there and to the desktop icon, too. In fact, I'd also like to see 3.3.1 in the Splash Screen that starts with the program, too. That way as soon as it starts up I'll know exactly what I opened. I often leave the old revs in place and specify new locations for future upgrades, just so I can easily make comparisons between the revs, when the changes are substantial. I haven't yet looked for the Issues listing but will shortly. My participation will depend on whether Libres uses the same one OO.o did or not. If it does, I won't be participating in the Issues listings. KUDOS on fixing several of the long-standing bugs and required work-arounds that OO.o had. I'd report the list of them periodically, several people would pipe in with a "yeah, that's right!" but nothing was ever done to correct them, not even the ones that were there in rev 1. Libre appears to be THE app to follow; looking forward to assisting in the near future. Regards, Twayne` -- Newsgroups are great places to get assistance.

At the moment, I'm thinking about both a "large scale motif", and a "details motif" (to be used with stock photographs or within rather plain areas). I've started to play with Inkscape, but I lack the skills to provide a reasonable mockup ... maybe a bit later. Concerning the details motif - I'm still thinking about the triangles that equal the document symbol edge. Those triangles can form a repeating pattern that is altered by using filled triangles and "randomly positioned" triangle contours. The pattern can be used positively (e.g. hiding parts of the background), or negatively (e.g. showing parts of a otherwise hidden background element). The pattern may also be adapted by applying a color / transparency gradient, or by removing some triangles to e.g. realize some kind of "wave". The latter one can also be achieved/emphasized by non-homogeneous color for the pattern. Okay, I'll try to come up with some graphics within the next days ...

Thanks for the nice collection - "close to motif" had been used for the presentation template. The outline of the triangles in the background ... http://luxate.blogspot.com/2010/10/libreoffice-presentation-template-first.html There is one item which is even less a motiv, but repeated throughout many of the graphics for the software: a non-symmetrical circular color gradient, and some linear gradients in the "header" and "footer".
