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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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".


Cheers the noo,
Graham

I would like to see the shading around the entire 3 text fields a lot
darker.
Tabs should be on the bottom so when the user selects a sub menu. The
windows
should open up below the password and not overlap the other fields.
I don't agree especially for very small screen (think about opensuse arm on
phones and tablet)
we want that :-)

Don't know if you can, but the whole branding is already in
Base:System/opensuse-branding package

You can cherry pick the kdm-branding from there, it should not need the 12.2
background it use the default one installed
so should work out of the box on 12.1+
If I get good feedback and working state, then perhaps it could be accepted as
an update for 12.1
but that's another (big) discussion about rules etc ...
