Hello all, I just wanted to give you a quick heads up in hopes to get some good ideas about this. I proposed long ago a set of ideas as far as artwork goes to integrate for the next version of openSUSE. One that I wanted to tell you about is changing the current font to open sans. This font family is very complete and also features a clean and sharp look for screens. Every time I use it, I feel that it can be changed to bold, thin, semibold and it keeps a strong presence and welcoming feeling. It also coincides with recent advances made by the design team at SUSE that chose this font also to be featured in artwork for our openSUSE booths and marketing materials. To see examples of this look here http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Open+Sans I have the means to push this change so I just wanted to check on some thoughts about it. Thank you -- Andy (anditosan) anditosan.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner(a)opensuse.org

Dear Kenneth, > It was a lot of work with very little information (that is part of our presentation). Thanks for your presentation. Could you please point out who did the design? Was it you, or another SUSE internal? Has the process been tracked in GIT (meaning not a bundled upload, but the design evolution)? Who has choosen the color set? We already had a color definition for Bento (which did not contain 'swamp green'): http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Artwork_guidelines#Colors Greetings Marcus

I have another idea. Change the menu icon (Kickoff) of openSUSE. I think that it's time to change the icon of the menú kickoff. With one of these icons you can see better that it is a chameleon, that it's openSUSE! Do a test! Change the icon of your menu. Select one of these: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9ba5ud7do5exj5f/zDe2QKiSM9 I prefer the "icon number 4 gradient" (is my favorite). Do you like it now? What do you think? Is possible to do this change in the next version? I can do it in other colours... 2014-04-14 18:13 GMT+02:00 Ish Sookun <ish(a)hacklog.in>: > +1 I like it ( : > > Ish Sookun > > - Geek by birth ...

Hello to everybody! This is my first time that i use the mailing list. First, excuse me if i'm doing something wrong with this message. Well i'd subscribe at this mailing list to contribute. I'm an amateur designer and i would like to know if the artwork team have plans to change the wallpaper in the next version. I have some ideas and i would like to show some designs of mine. I would like to change the dark trend that we saw in the last two versions and bet for something more clean, pure and colourful. "Plasma next" is coming, and i would like to do something that is up to the job. What do you think?

[opensuse-artwork] Improve LXDE's artwork.
by jcsl 02 Apr '14

02 Apr '14

Hi. I'd like to see LXDE's default artwork improved. I know that you can change it at any moment, but having a default nice and homogeneous theme is nice. The changes I propose are: - Change the default GTK+ theme: currently it is Clearlooks that is GTK2 only. GTK3 apps have a bare metal look. We could use Adwaita, that is GTK2 and GTK3, and it looks nice. - However, if we choose to do so, there is a problem with some applications that use Adwaita's dark theme as default, causing visual inconsistency (Totem, Cheese). We could create a forked Adwaita package (Adwaita-LXDE?) with /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-3.0/gtk-dark.css removed to fix this. Maybe we could even modify some of the theme colors. For example, we could replace the default selection color from blue to green. - I think that we should not use textures for the panel. If you make the panel taller than the texture height it is repeated and looks ugly. What I do is to choose "Solid color (with opacity)", selecting as background color the background color of windows in Adwaita, and then I add a bit of transparency to distinguish it from the windows background color. - We can change the default Openbox theme. I did one that mimics Adwaita and gives visual consistency. You can see it here http://box-look.org/content/show.php/Adwaita-ob?content=162589. - The default icon theme looks nice, but we could choose another one, maybe Faenza. I've been working on the packages too. They are all built against GTK2 to avoid GTK3 related issues. There was a mix of packages, some of them built with GTK2 and some of them built GTK3, and I think that it is better to build them all using GTK2 or GTK3. Talking with one of the developers we concluded that it is better to stick to GTK2 at the moment. I put here some links for you to see the changes: 1. Default LXDE's look on openSUSE 13.1 http://susepaste.org/view/raw/82551363 2. LXDE's look (Clearlooks) after applying the updated packages from X11:lxde http://susepaste.org/view/raw/34231871 3. LXDE's look with default Adwaita's theme http://susepaste.org/view/raw/4316730 4. LXDE's look after the removal of gtk-dark.css in Adwaita's theme http://susepaste.org/view/raw/53109704 5. LXDE's final look without textures for the panel http://susepaste.org/view/raw/49952626 I'd like to hear comments from you.

[opensuse-artwork] Yast2-theme package
by Josef Reidinger 14 Mar '14

14 Mar '14

Hi, I am currently solving issue with yast2-theme for SLE and it will also affect yast2-theme-openSUSE, so I would like at first discuss problems and my proposed solutions. Please CC me if you answer as I am not subscribed to opensuse-artwork mailing list. 1) yast2-theme create link to opensuse yast icons to high-res directory - https://github.com/yast/yast-theme/blob/master/package/yast2-theme.spec#L112 It is problem because in SLE it also have links to opensuse, which is wrong. My proposed solution is to create two additional rpm spec files - yast2-theme-openSUSE.spec for yast2-theme-openSUSE including crystal and oxygen theme and yast2-theme-SLE.spec for SLE related theming and both contain links to proper directory and conflict each other. 2) yast2-x11 contain file for installation icewm style. It is problem as now SLE have more dark style, so it cause difference in this package, that is not intended to be used on for theming, only for X11 setup in installation. My proposed solution is after we solve 1) to move icewm conf file to yast2-theme-{openSUSE,SLE} and keep it separated. 3) yast2-theme for opensuse partially lives at https://github.com/yast/yast-theme and partially at https://github.com/openSUSE/branding/tree/13.2/yast I think it do not make sense to have it at two places and we should merge it. I propose to use yast-theme file as SLE already have all theming for installation and yast here and also we have automatic deployment here, so when you modify master, it automatic goes to opensuse. I can add people to have write permissions there.

Artwork team! If we can get conference-promotion banners in the sizes below, we can get them on lwn.net. Sooner is better ;-) Know that LWN's background is white so I suggest a white background to make them look nicely fitting in. ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Re: oSC14 Date: Friday 07 March 2014, 07:47:27 From: Jake Edge <jake(a)lwn.net> To: jospoortvliet(a)gmail.com On Fri, 07 Mar 2014 10:33:14 +0100 Jos Poortvliet wrote: > Yeap, it is.
