The new ideas in there, the glassiness combined with the tan gradient, seemed to work so well that I very much would have liked to update the gnome login screen with similar texture and feel.This is why the proposal phase is important! At Paris it wasn't precisely clear that Mr. Shuttleworth was hoping to resume where "Dapper" direction left off. This is now clearer.Thank you for taking the time to comment, we shall steer accordingly. So folks, take note, the Dapper logon splash is where Mr. Shuttleworth is heading. Who_'s gloss sampling is probably closest. Let's try to steer development that direction. To summarize: * Literal gloss samplings similar to Dapper Logon Splash. * Glossing is illustrative (rather than practical), and should be simple in nature as per the folder gloss sample with Human. * Use Who_'s logo as a general directionality guide. So, ideally for me, we would use the Dapper Splash as a kind of "anchor point" and aim to have a login, and desktop wallpaper, that fit well with that. Of course, if during the proposal stage someone comes up with a look that is much nicer than that then we should go with that, but for the moment I most like the ideas embodied in there. Mark |
