[opensuse-gnome] Fwd: [opensuse-artwork] 12.1 Mokups

Hi all, It seems that the Artwork Team is mobilizing for the next release branding artwork. Though I'm not fluent in their creative ways, is anything that I should take to their knowledge on behalf of the GNOME team? (hint: maybe avoiding dark backgrounds, defined shaps vs abstract, shiny vs opaque paletts?) And for their delight GNOME:Apps provides one more potent tool for their job... GNOME seems to deliver all the muscle for their work :) NM ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Raul <rauhmaru@gmail.com> Date: Tue, May 31, 2011 at 8:03 PM Subject: [opensuse-artwork] 12.1 Mokups To: openSUSE Artwork <opensuse-artwork@opensuse.org> Hello friends, And then, let's start? The 12.1 is with the same appearance of 11.4. It's time we start to produce the wallpapers, skins, andwhat else is needed. cheers, -- Raul Libório -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

I was under the impression that the Gnome devs asked every major distribution to keep the default look and feel for the first release of Gnome 3/Gnome Shell. I think they wanted to standardize the look and show users what Gnome has become. Correct me of I'm wrong...

Hello friends,
And then, let's start? The 12.1 is with the same appearance of 11.4. It's time we start to produce the wallpapers, skins, andwhat else is needed.

Hi Steven, Yes, you are true, but it seems that only fcrozat's image actually is plain 'upstream' even fedora added some cute flowers to the wallpaper... But that's not only that... We'll have most likely plymouth available, or even if it's bootsplash they should be somehow interfacing with the branding from GNOME. A quick example, imagine that we go upstream branding again and we have a bootsplash in shiny green againsnt the blueish background on GDM/Wallpaper... I mean... In a way the branding packages are the most visible and diferentiation part of a Desktop (specially when everyone is using Adwaita on GNOME3), so we should really think over what kind of experience we want to give our users. This was mainly informative... whatever the path people follow, I'll follow the majority as always been doing.
