[opensuse-artwork] Request for icons for updater applet
by Joerg Kress 24 May '07

24 May '07

Hello everyone! NOTE: Cross-posted as this involves both teams, IMHO. We have a need for icons for the updater applet for both GNOME and KDE. The current icons have certain limitations in areas of usability and accessibility. Please refer to bug 246157 [1] for an example. I have made some proposals in the wiki [2]. One might also check the parent page [3], which also holds the current icons. Currently we have 4 icons, based on a blue dot with a small label on the bottom right. Each label indicates a certain state: * Red: Error occured * Yellow: Updates available * Striped(Yellow/Black): Checking for Updates * Green: No updates We want to have another state: "Applying Updates", which could be merged with "Checking for updates" into "Updater working/Busy" So, UX teams should verify which states need distinguishing from a usability perspective and artworkers should then find a usable and accessible solution.

[opensuse-artwork] openSUSE Colour Palette
by David Miller 23 May '07

23 May '07

hi, i was reading through the current artwork guidelines and noticed the FIXME in teh colours section... i've made a .gpl file for the opensuse colour palette, and atatched it to the artwork guidelines [1]. because the wiki wont allow this filetype to be uploaded, i've put it on google pages [2]. i was wondering if either jimmac or another novell employee could perhaps put the file in a more permanant location? -- Best Regards, David Miller [1] http://en.opensuse.org/Artwork:Guidelines#Colors [2] http://djmdave.googlepages.com/openSUSE.gpl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-artwork] Icon sizes
by Andras Dosztal 04 May '07

04 May '07

Hi, I think the Large icons (Definiton: http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Theme_Guidelines) are consuming too much space on the desktop and in the file manager. I'd like to know what the reason is for using so big icons? I think medium would be better. (Maybe it's a user error but I didn't find an easy way to change these icons' sizes. I'm using SLED10.)
