One can hardly tell which window is the one having focus. The active and inactive window only differ in the color of the window title text, and only minimally so. 2. The window title bar buttons for Minimize, Maximize and Close all look the same when not hovered over. With window managers offering free reordering of these buttons, it is impossible to tell which is which. There appears to be a minimal change in Green value, but is so slight that at first I put it off as a TFT monitor viewing angle artifact, but GIMP confirmed my theory. 3. Rollup and Stick look totally different from Minimize/Maximize/Close. 4. The borders around widgets like text entry fields and buttons is barely noticable. 5. No borders at all around notebook tabs. 6. The general window background is white-ish, but the taskbar is darkgray. That is a rather unusual choice, and might be an error. 7. Geeko-Darker is actually brighter than Geeko-Dark; the browser tab bar and text entry fields have lightgray/white background. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-artwork] Leap 15.0 and Search page

by Stasiek

Hi, This is my first post on any form of public mailing list so give me a break if I don't know what I'm doing. Well, anyway, I got upon myself to work on some internal branding for both Leap 15.0 and Tumbleweed. During this process I heard a lot of critique of default look of Gnome and other GTK based Desktop Environments. So I just forked Arc and applied main oS colour with neutral white and grey backgrounds (and blue tint is just awful anyway, but Arc has nice layout in general) https://github.com/LelCP/geeko-gtk-theme It would be nice to have some people test it in the meanwhile. There is also ongoing criticism of hicolor icon theme. So as it was I went ahead and forked papirus icon theme. I forked it because some of more interesting icons are not available in newer branches and colour scheme there is Arc based so everything has blue tint (which doesn't fit theme at all). https://github.com/LelCP/origami-icon-theme If you have any icons missing (which is majority of non-default YaST modules unfortunately) don't be afraid to add or link them yourself (specific instructions are in /tools/work/README.md). I chose this theme specifically because it doesn't look half bad with icons in other themes (which is thanks to using older branch that had much more custom shapes instead of circles and squares only) and in general is very neutral in design. Lastly I revived https://search.opensuse.org which was dead since who knows when. I love federated search sites and this one offers every search engine I could remember with addition of openSUSE specific search boxes like wiki or packages. It would be great replacement for https://www.opensuse.org/searchPage/ if we decide to replace it with this new site. Only feature missing right now is translation but that can easily be borrowed of off old searchPage ;) https://lelcp.github.io/search-o-o/ https://github.com/LelCP/search-o-o I feel that we can make a difference with new release of openSUSE next year, it's just matter of working together as a community. My call here though is to show some incentive, design and send wallpapers etc. Engage in the talk that is going around on social media and other similar places. Things missing right now would be mainly YaST theme which is simply awful and doesn't fit anything and porting geeko-gtk-theme to KDE as well, because I am no expert in that regard. GRUB theme etc is being made by me, I am aware that Leap 15 is getting new plymouth theme with help of one other member of the community. Rest is basically in infancy and we need that to evolve to something bigger. I am well aware of grand redesign of openSUSE pages and I appreciate it very much, but web interface is not everything and I would love distro to look as well as sites will do soon enough.
