[ubuntu-art] 8.04 Theme

This post is mostly to satisfy my curiosity. I have been using the 'Darkilouche' theme on my systems since discovering it a few months ago, and with all the talk of a dark/orange theme for 8.04, I was wondering if this theme has gotten any consideration? Why re-create the wheel so to speak if

I know this is just my opinion, but I would say that the contrast might need to be lowered a lot, as grey and orange are basically bound to contrast On 12/23/07, Jayson Rowe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This post is mostly to satisfy my curiosity. I have been using the 'Darkilouche' theme on my

[ubuntu-art] SVG engine

I think we should use the SVG engine in future releases. It does need some work, but that could be done for 8.10+. Anyway, what does everyone else think? Smartboy -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Re: [ubuntu-art] 8.04 Theme

Hi Jayson, We all have different taste in design and graphics, but this is definitely something I would NOT like Ubuntu to be. First, it doesn't remind me of Ubuntu at all, it is grey, more like UbuntuStudio in a way. Second, it is extremely dull, there are no gradients, everything is plain

Hi again. After looking at some of the Mockups, I SURE have to agree with this statement. I shurely hope Ubuntu doesn't look like Brown Vista all shiny and gooey looking when this is all over with!!! Well, actually I don't like Vista's look, and I don't like Leopard's look. But shiny CAN

[ubuntu-art] Fine Artist Joining Group

Hi everyone - I'm new to the list but a fan of the Ubuntu project. I have a degree in Fine Art from Stellenbosch in South Africa. Reading up on all the discussion thus far. Let me know if there's a need for research or contributions from a theoretical (visual arts theory) perspective, or if

Alright people, enough with mockups. Here's the real thing, fasten your seatbelts. http://www.flickr.com/photos/emrahunal/2131208665/ All credits go to Outi Linna, creator of excellent gingerbread-cookie houses, who gave me this piece of art as a christmas present. I wish you all happy

Re: [ubuntu-art] SVG engine

What Emrah Ünal is getting at, is that while most engines support the SVG format, they can't yet make full use of them. It's like buying a high-definition DVD player (or blu-ray, whatever) and watching it on a regular TV - you have the potential, but you can't use it. Specifically how it works,

[ubuntu-art] Define the elements of 8.04's design

Looking over the mockups, it's easy to see what's getting popular, and what the overall look should resemble; The only problem is, we're all making these designs and unless the perfect design pops into place, none of our designs will be the next Ubuntu theme - come 8.04 it will just be the same

[ubuntu-art] Who is our target audience?

That is the question we need to ask. Do we want to target noobs to linux or the vets of linux? Maybe I'm wrong, but new linux and novice computer users are typically enticed with eye candy. It's the veteran linux users that like things functional and plain. I would submit that we want

Re: [ubuntu-art] 8.04 Theme

Yes Thomas I agree with you that we should innovate and make something really new and competitive. For those who want old-fashioned look can switch themes as easy as 3 clicks away or even ask the user at install time what theme he/she would like to use. В нд, 2007-12-23 в 20:31 +0100, Thomas L.G
