Re: Round 1
I have an idea, since we don't want the code to be put on the screen because that'll comprimise the user's privacy, and all, why don't we create a small pattern that'll change the background depending on the code, well, parts of the code. I don't know how the code looks like but I'll just assume it's something like this: 67c1e19532a4c47461486a5d8ad3ac74 (which is Fedora 9's md5sum :D In this case we can create an algorithm that does the following (it's just an example): 1. Takes the first 3 digits as a HEX number and % it by 360 and then rotate the shape that many degrees. 2. Take the fourth and the fivth digits and increase the R by the amount of the fourth digit if the fifth digit % 2 is positive. 3. Take the sixth and the seventh digits and do the same for G. 4. Take the eighth and the ninth digits and do the same for B. etc... This way, the usrer's privacy won't be comprimised, and we can still brag about giving the users different backgrounds, which is somethig that no other distro have done (just a guess).

This is a good point - it would be nice to see a somewhat common theme getting more and more polished with each release. More of an evolution than a complete redesign each time. That said, the last few themes have been a bit like this. Things that are easier to change, like the splash screens and wallpaper can change more frequently and dramatically. Things that are more challenging to redesign well, like Gtk and Metacity themes evolve more slowly. This reminds me of the 6 layers of buildings from Stewart Brand's classic book, How Buildings Learn: http://www.peterme.com/archives/0323.html I would like to see a general visual theme for Fedora that can slowly evolve and improve with each release, but still have enough wiggle-room for each release to feel new and exciting. I proposed a seasonal Spring/Fall theme set to coincide with the time-based release schedule of Fedora back in November. I've been trying to create a page for it on the wiki, but I'm having trouble getting my account created (probably my own fault). Quoting myself: As the Fedora release schedule is now about as reliable as the coming of spring and fall, it occurred to me that spring and fall might serve as appropriate visual themes for alternating releases. Both spring and fall (aka autumn) are nice natural visual metaphors that have recognizable and (potentially) beautiful color schemes associated with them. They are also both natural themes, which can work well for desktop themes. Perhaps we could adopt a spring visual theme for the odd-numbered releases that fall in the spring, and a fall visual theme for the even-numbered releases that fall in the, well, fall. Could it also be that the colors match the season (green for spring releases and yellow/orange for fall ones?)? This would also provide a way to have a strong visual change between releases, but still build on a larger theme that could grow more refined over multiple releases. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2007-November/msg00099.html A theme like this would allow a common thread for all Fedora release visuals, but also a nice back-and-forth change for each release.

Something different :P Have you read Michael Beckwith's post titled F9 theming [1]? It suggests that the theme should represent freedom (since the current theme is Infinity)... So I thought of Naming F9 based on that too... I did some research on the internet, and I found this [2]. But, since we just can't call it Bald Eagle, I looked on wikipedia [3]. In the synonyms, there's a name in Latin that goes back to 1766, which is Falco leucocephalus, but since that is too long, I thought that calling it Falco is just right! It'll be an Eagle :) What do you think?

I absolutely hate to be that guy but... the name decision is not ours (Art Team) to make and traditionally now is also too early for it. Is it too early? I think there are proposed changes for the development process which would put the naming process earlier in part to get the art team time to have the option to build a theme associated with the codename. Regardless of when it happens, there are established rules for the name game, which I assume people in this thread are not aware of. Names between releases must relate. Release N+1 must be named such that releaser N+1 relates to N, such that releases N+1 and N-1 are not similarly related. So we can for example just keep picking city names or flower names over and over again. The rules for F9 as I understand them are: The relationship that connects Moonshine and Werewolf cannot be re-used. The F9 name and werewolf must share are both are relationship. The F9 name and moonshine must not share a both are relationship You also should provide an obvious next relationship that can be used to connect the name to F9 to F10 The Unicorn example I provided follows the name game rules. I stated the N+1 to N relationship explicitly. Both a unicorn and a werewolf are mythical creatures whereas moonshine is not. I also hinted at the next relationship that can be used to move beyond unicorn. Unicorn was the mascot for my high school, so for F10 you could move from unicorn to any high school mascot that was not a mystical creature. Though that's actually not a good out. A better out would be Tom Cruise movie co-stars (a unicorn was in the movie Legend). Names like galaxy or night bird need to be given in the context of the N+1 and N are a something, but N+1 and N-1 are not a something rule. The naming isn't random, but its constrained by how clever we are coming up with relationships between the names. -jef ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list Jupiter?

Fwd: Nodoka Window Decoration for KDE
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I thought I sent this message a few days ago, but when I checked in the mailing list's archives, I didn't find it there, so, here it is again. I created a Nodoka Window Decoration for KDE, you can see a screen shot of it [1]here. I put it on my fedorapeople account [2], and on my blog [3], but since they're both new, I don't think anybody will notice them. So, I decided to subscribe to the mailing list and inform you guys. You can find the package here [4], just extract it, and you'll find a file called installation.txt that has the instruction. Cheers!

Re: Fwd: Nodoka Window Decoration for KDE
I can fix the gerying out thing, but I'm quite sure that the height is exactly the same as that of the original theme, well, at least that's how it looked in the screen shot on Nodoka's wiki page. It would be very helpful if you provide me with a screen shot that includes two open windows, that'll help me solve both problems, preferably with the mouse over one of the buttons, 'cause I'm not quite sure of the hover effect. Thanks a lot for correcting me :) On 11/4/07, Jakub 'Livio' Rusinek [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, There are two issues. 1) Too little titlebar height. 2) Inactive window titlebar should be grayed out. -- Jakub 'Livio' Rusinek http://liviopl.jogger.pl/ ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list -- Laith Juwaidah http://www.ljuwaidah.org ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
Re: Fwd: Nodoka Window Decoration for KDE
Humm... That wasn't as helpful as I expected it to be... I can't use that to create this theme 'cause it is partially transparent... I know the hover and click effects work fine, the inactive title bar grays out now, however, it becomes a bit darker than the original theme. I don't know how I can increase the height... Are you using Beryl or Compiz? Try disabling that, that might help remove the shadows and the transparency, that's when I can use those screen shots to create my theme :P Thanks again :) On 11/4/07, Jakub 'Livio' Rusinek [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Two windows, few effects. 1) Normal 2) Active window button hover 3) Inactive window button hover 4) Active window button pressed (pressing button in inactive window causes window focus on inactive window) 1| http://img.wklej.org/images/87044nod.png 2| http://img.wklej.org/images/36619nodhovact.png 3| http://img.wklej.org/images/74777nodhovinact.png 4| http://img.wklej.org/images/23856nodpress.png -- Jakub 'Livio' Rusinek http://liviopl.jogger.pl/ ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list -- Laith Juwaidah http://www.ljuwaidah.org ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
