Hi,

This team is for users and contributors to the Ubuntu GNOME project.

Help us make GNOME and Ubuntu better!

These are the principles of our team and mailing list.
I don't know what to say, the branding is very important and I do want to discuss it here, that's why we have a mailing list, we are a community.

If you don't enjoy the [Artwork] topic, ignore such messages.

Sorry if I got you wrong. If you were referring to the lack of other kind of messages, we just can't force it; we can't hire a guy to write posts with tips then and now, this mailing list is basically built upon the users's and Ubuntu GNOME team's contributions, contributions of any kind, not just technical and educational. I'm sorry.

Indeed most of the technical details are sorted for this cycle, The main focus over the next month will be on artwork. Of course we will continue fixing bugs during this time, but that hardly requires interaction on the mailing list.

While we are on the topic of artwork though, Alfredo, it would be awesome if we can add another item to your list, and get a new isolinux splash screen! This is the very first image that pops up when booting!

Tim

Best regards,

Alfredo.

Hi,

As always, great job :)

I would definitely vote for the 2nd group with the same icons we are using
on our Wiki but:

1. is there anyway the text could be more visible? maybe different color
for the wallpaper of the slide or bigger font or more white?
2. is it possible to show ONLY the slide show without showing the
Desktop Background?

That is all for now :)

Yes, I totally understand this is just a test to show the idea ;)

Hi,

1. Yes, actually this is based on the Ubuntu layout, both colour, size and
position can be changed. By the way, you are only referring to the
non-music&video slides, right? They certainly have a very poor contrast.

2. Do you mean my desktop? If so, I'll keep it mind next time I make
screenshots, I will only post the actual windows.

Right, it seems very sensible to use the same colour of our Wiki
pictograms. That's a good point.

Cheers.

Hi,

To my eyes, all the slides were less visible :(

Highlight the window you want to take a screenshot for, Hold Alt adn Prt

Yes, better to be consistent but I was referring more to the 'icons' more
than the colors :D

Oh, I see, actually some icons were missign (the music&videos one, for
instance), so I made new ones, also some weren't completely right and I
remade them (e.g., help). Most of them are the same of our wiki (as they
already existed).

I hope it was a problem of the quality image. Here a slightly-bigger-font
version: http://cl.ly/image/1i3y3K1r1C3i

Anyway, I'll make sure the font colour is the right to an optimal contrast.
Eventually, the fonts could be made bigger, but that means a lot of the
slides will have scrollbars to show the full information text.

Another problem, I think, is that Cantarell works horribly at small sizes.

Regards.

It is true the icons are small but the slide show will look much better and
more professional when the icons on the slide show match the onces on our
Wiki :D

So, let's do it :D

The one on the right (Any questions?) is much better :D
The bigger, the better and more visible. Or we can play with the colors so
we can keep the size as it is right now and make the text more clear color
wise (also we can change the background on that text).

No, we need to use as less text as possible. Lots of users will not be
interested to read too much text. Keep It Short and Simple :D
I know Ubuntu GNOME is not lightweight but I see no harm to use The KISS
Principle :D at least with our Slide Show ;)

Sorry, not sure what that is?

Thanks a lot :)
