Thanks, I took a look at the Bespin icons and the close button actually is almost the same except it's a circle with a dot in the middle instead of a square with a dot in the middle. I could try doing circles but I don't think that fits as well with the openSUSE style, what does everyone else think?

Thanks. :) I'll try and come up with something else for the close button. If anyone has suggestions, let me know but I'll see if i can come up with some different options.

[opensuse-artwork] OpenSUSE 11.3 Window Decoration Idea

I created a new look for window decoration (titlebar, etc) for OpenSUSE 11.3. It should be more consistent and (hopefully) more up to standard with the quality of OpenSUSE design. As well, it aims to save real estate and be non-intrusive until needed by the users. http://en.opensuse.org/Artwork:Pixel_Pool/11.3/DavidMusicant_WindowsDecorat… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-artwork] How post design work to Pixel Pool?
by David Musicant 23 Dec '09

23 Dec '09

I have created some new designs that I want to upload and link at the opensuse pixel pool: http://en.opensuse.org/Artwork:Pixel_Pool/11.3 However, it won't let me log in, nor show me any upload links or allow me to edit the page. I have a login for the forums which I thought was enough (and I logged in to opensuse.org). How do i get the access rights to upload my design and create a page for it? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help(a)opensuse.org
