Wouldnt it be better , if all the image files[png,jpg,svg] / all video files had the *same bottom color* and only the images within them had different colors? and labeled in the larger icon sizes. cheers, mac_v -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
[ubuntu-art] New Wave User Requests
Hello everybody, This thread is about telling me what you would like to have changed/added in New Wave so that it better fits your needs. Fell free to express everything. Not everything that is requested thought will be included because first I'll have to make sure it will be of benefit to everybody else using the theme. So here is a list of things that are already changed and will make it in 0.8.1: - Combobox fix in Open Office and other apps that use the old format option-box. - Brasero notifications fix. - Scrollbars inside OO and FF are much better looking and integrating. - Metacity improvements for dialog windows (bottom line in titlebar and modal dialogs look different). unfortunately these additions do not show when you use compiz.

[ubuntu-art] [Breathe]Palette and contrast
I saw that all of Breathe icons are not coordinated palette and in general are very different. well as the folder icons are too saturated. You can see sets of many icons such as humanity or gnome-colors, which despite having a different style, are pleasant and Swabian. we need to fix this in Breathe i think.

To decide about colors and labels I made some samples based on Conn and mac_v suggestions. http://files.getdropbox.com/u/113489/mime_colors.png -- Seba (AKA spg76) http://www.ubuntu-ar.org -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

But we could loose the letters in the 24px & 16px. as they are not legible anyway. The problem with 3rd is there are too many mime types and not enough colors to make the easily differentiable.. ;) Whereas with 2nd we could use any color for the icon in the image. BTW , Nice work on the bottom color gradient . cheers, mac_v -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Where the design is the same for the mimes but the text changes. And I agree with mac_v that we should drop the text (and maybe the lower strip) below 24px. Maybe just center the glyph. Or even just lose the paper entirely @16px? -Cory K. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Maybe just center the glyph. Yeah, this is why I like mac_v's idea. Because we can remove the strip and the text and still recognize the icon for the color. Or even just lose the paper entirely @16px? I though about this but, although it give us more space for details, I don't know if it's such a good idea. -- Seba (AKA spg76) http://www.ubuntu-ar.org -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
