Ifeoma Onuorah wrote: Hey everyone! I know ppl are still all working on the CD labels for the new Fedora theme but I wanted to ask a question about the icon project. I figure I can still upload minimizations, but I need a little help. Can some one tell me how to link the image after you click edit so it can be seen on the page.. that and the svg's. I have done some before but that was when I was an intern at RedHat this summer and I had a little help. Unfortunately I haven't visited the page in a bit and forgot a little bit of the process. If anyone can help me out I'd be super grateful. First go to More Actions: - Attachments and upload your files (in PNG and SVG, to all needed sizes), then copy/paste and modify existing code, something like: ||icon-name|| [[ImageLink(icon-name16.png)]] [[ImageLink(icon-name24.png)]] [attachment:icon-name16.svg 16x16 SVG] [attachment:icon-name24.svg 24x24 SVG] || [[ImageLink(icon-nameL.png)]] [attachment:icon-nameL.svg SVG] ||Icon Description||YourName|| The executive words are: copy and modify.

I'm also trying to figure out at what point in the release schedule should we work to have the artwork finalized formatted by for FC 7. Sounds like we should have things ready by 3 weeks before the release date - which I think indicates the following schedule: - 6 weeks before release date - artwork concept finalized - we choose which to go with and it is provided in vector (preferably SVG) format. - 3 weeks before release date - artwork formatted ready for printers. Based on the FC6 schedule those dates tenatively and quite roughly would be: - artwork concept finalized - mid-April - artwork formatted ready for printers - mid/early May ~m ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Another details is to reorganize the artwork page by grouping into different versions of Core i.e. 5, 6 or 7.

I have been using MurrinaGilouche² which is based on this engine. Tweaking an existing theme is much less time consuming and is deliverable. It's odd to see the discussion of metacity and gtk2 themes off the table for FC6. And I think they are the most important elements because for one thing they are what users see 99% of their time using computer. As hibernation/suspension works quite well now, most of the people may see their login screen once a month and grub splash screen once half a year.
