Dear KDE list,

For those of you testing factory, you could find the first pictures of the
new kdm theme for openSUSE 12.2
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-artwork/2012-05/msg00000.html

In a few day the new branding package will hit factory.
And I really would like to get any feedback about the new branding
(artwork or factory -ml would be perfect place)

Ok here goes :)

The corners[1] and bottom edge[2] have a dark green solid shadow, this
doesn't
look so good, it should probably be an anti-aliased grey drop shadow or
remove
it entirely.

Bug in kde rendering svg, nothing we can improve if we want sizeable box.


The inner shadow of the text fields or the text field corner decoration[3] is
blurred and out of proportion. It looks like it's been stretched horizontally
by a few pixels, I think it would look better if it was sharper and the
rounding of the corners was the same proportions as the parent box corners.

Then I stop here, cause it show me that you didn't look at the last version.
Graham I point the top of the thread which contain the first draft.
Sorry to have not been more precise on that subject.

Then I post the following links.

The white control group box border[4] might be better looking if it was the
same dark grey as the seperator lines used above. I think the use of white on
light grey never looks clean or crisp and doesn't give the whole box a
consistent feel. Also for consistency the padding[4] between the white border
and the inner dark grey background should be the same on the left and right
as
it is on the top edge.
The overlay was added by me to had contrast compared to original Eugene
proposal.
It could also be removed.

The icons[5] don't contrast well against the box background, more colour &
more dark grey or less white & light grey is probably required to make them
stand out more.
Well those are pure stock oxygen, now we can also remove them and let the full
standard label
Username, password, domain

I don't understand the meaning of a carriage return or enter symbol as a
button[6] here. Should I click the button or press enter? If the action is to
perform a login then the button should either say "Login" or should have it's
icon as a recognized login symbol. The current icon is confusing because I
have never seen it used in a button before and it's not something I expect to
see in a login dialogue.
You have to hit enter or click on it, for login. those kind of symbol was
present in 11.3 & 11.4 theme
http://geeko.ioda.net/git/art/login/kdm-SUSE/enter.png
and none for 12.1 theme ...

The overall grey colour of the box looks slightly washed out on my screen,
perhaps because of the vivid green background (which i like very much). It's
almost like a little bit of yellow or green is leeching into the box, a
slightly darker tone of grey would alleviate this and would also contrast
better against the green title text "tumbleweed".
the green title is the official green which is light right.
the panel could perhaps look darker.


Cheers the noo,
Graham

Thanks to you Graham for your feedback.
