Don't forget that color is not only a matter of aesthetics but it is a usability issue as well. There are plenty of info on the net about the effects of color on human psychology. Research the subject to see what I mean. I can't stress this enough, this is, by all empirical research, an

I still have to meet with the one who wants to keep it. Just to say, I love the browns and I wish Kubuntu would adopt them too. C'mon, Ubuntu is African and Africa is all about tones of brown and the veld. /d -- ubuntu-art mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There is a confusion here. No one is suggesting that the brown is ugly. No worries. But the target users for ubuntu are not the Africans where this color enjoys privileged symbolic meaning. Rather Ubuntu aims at the global audience (dominated by western influences) I'm white and western, I

Even if these designs are never used, you are showing that open source software can be used to make very professional-quality artwork. Thanks. Yeah, I used to work in Freehand a few years ago and that was an awesome application, but inkscape is now equally powerful imho. Actually, there is a

Well, taking the comments so far I had time to try a new approach. This one is very simple and does not rely on specialist words/memes. I thought about error and bug and report and the one word that stood out was broken. From there I asked myself how would I portray a broken application; the

We really need to quit grasping and simply accept the fact that the language barriers are symptomatic of the word 'universal' being completely a foolish puff of smoke to even _attempt_ to pursue. Aye. Agreed. From a practical integration element -- it also must _readily_ fit into the the

Have you a link for me? I have found the artwork links on the wiki to be pretty confusing. Then again, I've been distracted. Well there aren't any ;). Ah right, I walked into that one :) Currently, if you wish to develop in the Human style, you will need to use your package manager to

In Unix, a traditional icon for a command shell is ... a shell! Unfortunately, it reads as clam or snail in other languages. I always thought the literal shell image was corny, but visual puns are easy to use and easy to learn -- as long as you speak the lingo... log -- as in captain's log

I had not given emblems too much attention, but now that I have I am firmly convince that they leave A LOT to be desired. I am nobody from nowhere - but I have been lurking and thought I would add that surely those emblems should be linked to the system locale in some way? It's the only way
