[ubuntu-art] A random user's interface thoughts.

Hello there! Being an Ubuntu user since the very first minute, I feel very comfortable with the default brown of Ubuntu. But since there is a small but vocal group demanding a change of direction, I guess that change is inevitable. And maybe that change is for the better, who knows? Still, there a

[ubuntu-art] Little help for creating throbbers.

A user of Ubuntu Studio suggested we change the throbber that appears on the upper right of Nautilus. The throbbers are part of a icon set. I started looking into it and came up with a way to automate it for myself and now I'm sharing. So download then extract this archive and look over the READM

Ok guys, here comes the tiny update: http://www1.picfront.org/picture/86F7OREDY4L/img/mockup5copy.jpg due to the lack of time, i couldnt do more than this in the past few days, but i hope that the concept so far is distinguishable... -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https:/

[ubuntu-art] Technical reality based concept art.

Is it just me or does it seem that some people don't know the technical limitations in dealing with GNOME and such? I love some of the concepts don't get me wrong, but I just feel we need to let people know a little more what can and can't be currently done. I would hate to see someone put so much

[ubuntu-art] Icon theme suggestion

Re: [ubuntu-art] Dark Themes Again

Hi, I'm new to this mailing-list, but I'm interested in how the new Ubuntu will take shape. I have been using Ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10 for some months now, and I'm very happy with it. However, I think the brown standard theme of today looks terrible... If I couldn't customize it, I would probably s

Re: [ubuntu-art] Technical reality based concept art.

Good idea, but I would not want to put a cap on thinking outside of the box. We can update engines to do what we want, but the engines are limited by gnome. Otherwise we need to put pressure on gnome to create/modify features. > Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2007 11:46:40 -0500> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]>

[ubuntu-art] Notification Area Icons

I have been reading the mailing list and the idea has popped up from time to time that we move away from the coloured icons in the notification area. and I stumbled upon this. http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Weather+Replacement+Icons?content=70662 I like the way the icons looked look "

How about one theme that does both? As long as we follow the format from the new clearlooks theme the colors can be customized from the appearance manager. I revised the human theme to do this here (also included parts of the new clearlooks engine for tabs, menubars and toolbars.) http://w

Re: [ubuntu-art] Icon theme suggestion

Wow, I really like these icons. The glossy one´s are the things that "look glossy" in real life, like the monitor and the folder. So, I guess that this iconset fits with the "tango rules". Cheers, Dalton -- Cabeçalho original --- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Para: ubuntu-art@lists

This is a great idea. Notification area should be something like that, maybe not too "Leopardish" as those weather icons. 2007/11/28, Dwight Shepherd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > I have been reading the mailing list and the idea has popped up from time > to time that we move away from the coloured ico

Re: [ubuntu-art] Icon theme suggestion

As I said before, we should use the power of the colours to bring a "easy-to-use/easy-to-recognize user experience". Folders, should have the same colour, labels should use the same colour as folders but with a different tone, devices should use the same colour too, to associate colours and shapes

Re: [ubuntu-art] Icon theme suggestion

Although artistically very talented I found them a bit too much for icons on a desktop. They draw too much attention, I also think the unflinching use of a few colours (orange I am talking about you) detracted a lot from the look of the icons. You only want to find an icon when you need it,
