There were a couple of items I did not get to with the 8.10 release that are now complete. Number one was the scale control. I changed the square buttons to round and instead of sliding the button on a thin line I placed them in a trough similar to scrollbars. The Rhythmbox screen shots are a goo

[ubuntu-art] Documenting Murrine for a Jaunty Theme

Reviewing many of the submissions on the topic of "theme engines" has left me with the impression many feel Murrine is the desired theme engine but its adoption is constrained by the lack of documentation. If this assumption is true I'm up for helping as I have a theme I am considering for Jaunty

Re: [ubuntu-art] Murrine and Jaunty

After exchanging emails with folks from gnome-look.org I decided to install the svn132 version of murrine. I really like the enhancements and I converted the Jaunty "Impression" theme. I'll get screen shots uploaded tomorrow in order to meet the alpha3 release. I'll include the ubuntu murrine svn1

[ubuntu-art] Impression Alpha3 Uploaded to Wiki

The single most significant change between Alpha2 and Alpha3 is the replacement of the clearlooks engine with the latest release of murrine. As the scrollbars and scale widgets exert a great influence on the appearance of the theme, I decided to stay with the "pixmap" engine to render these widgets

[ubuntu-art] Artwork Deadline One

I am not sure the desire, but 2.19.2009 is the deadline one for artwork. IMO we should have our submissions to the point they are submitted to the wiki for comments. To satisfy that desire I submitted a "customizable" Jaunty background to the wiki today. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/

Re: [ubuntu-art] Artwork Deadline One

I uploaded two new images to the wiki for your consideration. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Jaunty/Impression/Background The first has a darker Jaunty to enhance the rabbit illusion. My desire is not to have a skeleton look but keep with the sketch appearance. The second image is an e

Re: [ubuntu-art] Artwork Deadline One (John Baer)

After thinking about it I decided my last approach to the Tumble Weed background was probably not the best. It took patiences but I was able to "burn" the Jaunty sketch into the background so that it changes as the background colors change. I posted new images to the wiki page. https://wiki.ubunt

[ubuntu-art] GDM Login

Does anyone know the status of the GDM login? The Wiki has pages on a desired Face Browser Login. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FaceBrowserLogin I placed a mockup of a GDM login on the Impression page. This is basically a hack of the Human GDM. I don't mind doing something better if the Face Browser ef

Re: [ubuntu-art] Jaunty Wallpaper (Kenneth Wimer)

Kenneth, I lot of good info. IMO the bulk of the development is complete on the Impression submission and as I have some time I believe I will work it against the desires of "Kyudo". I asked Michael Kuhn if he planned to build a package against the svn137 commit of Murrine. My question is would
