[opensuse-wiki] [FPR] Splash screen: 2nd stage of proposals
Hi, as announced, here come the second round of splash screen proposals. Actually not much has changed in the original (I "bleached" the background a bit, added more padding between the links and the page borders and removed "select your language"). The second proposal has the language links circle around the logo. 1. http://www.suse.de/~fs/opensuse/splash.html 2. http://www.suse.de/~fs/opensuse/splash_circle.html I really like Christian's idea with the language cookie on user request and houghi's proposal that it could be changed in the wiki preferences - I will talk with darix about it. -- Regards Frank Frank Sundermeyer, SUSE LINUX GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg Tel: +49-911-74053-0, Fax: +49-911-7417755; http://www.novell.com/ "Reality is always controlled by the people who are most insane" Dogbert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki-help@opensuse.org

1. Does not work nicely on large screens (1280x1024 for example) The Backgroundimage + Color do not match I don't like that version, since I have to "travel" a long way with the mouse for selecting a different language 2. I like this one, compact, modern, works on 1280x1024 André --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki-help@opensuse.org

I like neither. All should be clearly consitent. http://houghi.org/suse/home_houghi2.html Some notes as this is only a design idea. 1) There must be an icon in the middle 2) The left should contain different content, perhaps only search and languages 3) If there are many mor languages, placing them randomly instead of a circle around an icon is a possability. That way it is clearly a part of openSUSE.org I hate it when I am inside a website and the layout changes from the first age to the second. This should also be the basic layout for e.g. the mailinglist -- But I will accept the rules that you feel necessary to your freedom. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki-help@opensuse.org

... and changed the color of "SUSE" in the logo :-) (I guess/hope you will remove the white "frame" around the letters before putting this into production...)

Well, your circle looks more like an egg, but that's not a real problem right now - and I still prefer it over the corners ;-)
I really like Christian's idea with the language cookie on user request
Thanks ;-)
and houghi's proposal that it could be changed in the wiki preferences - I will talk with darix about it.
Yes, that's a nice idea, but: There are probably lots of people visiting opensuse.org without having an account. It should be possible for them to set the language cookie without registering. This does not mean that I dislike the idea to put this into the wiki preferences, but it should be an additional way, not the only one ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- [tgz Datei entpacken] tar xzf <Archiv> Für weitere Informationen lesen Sie bitte die Manpage oder Ihren Admin.

The houghi's text is fine. It might be bold, but even now it is better than oversized that doesn't allow proper feeling of round (oval) pattern. Not to mention that font selection might render very different effects, depending what is installed on a system. If you use yellow, maybe bold it will fit fine in the dark green background. The background should be really light than houghi's text doesn't need change, or slightly stronger than it was in first proposal. This little bit bleached looks like an old shirt. The blue text and green background can render some very nice effects, but it is sensitive to proper selection of colors, and like in your proposal the proper border color. I still like simple solution like left nav bar with all languages listed. I'm short with time, but I'll try to play with. If it comes in mind something that I'd like to show it will be on the wiki. -- Regards, Rajko.

As promised: http://en.opensuse.org/Image:OpenSUSE-splash-idea-001.png The idea is that globe is not the only one form that can be used to place text. The idea needs more work, but it is more openSUSE like and original than globe that is used and overused. -- Regards, Rajko.

Looks great. Colours are also more confirm the rest of the site. I personaly would like it handled as a 'normal' oage, so have the side and the top there and the splash as if it were standard content. Anyhow, this is the nicest design sofar. -- houghi Microsoft says, "Where do you want to go today?" Apple says, "Where do you want to go tomorrow?"

Thanks. The idea is borrowed from http://en.opensuse.org/Buttons. It is third in the row, so there are great chances that something really good can happen. It needs more tweaking, and of course somebody that can code CSS to put real links in it. I agree that it would look good within the normal page too. For instance as a central part of the English page. That will make look and feel pretty uniform over the site. The right empty space can be filled with links to all languages, well for now the list is rather short, but it is 1 year after first appearance. It is not forbidden to put any useful links here, like news section. -- Regards, Rajko.

There are some nice buttons and banners on this page, but: Who had the idea to use the yellow background on some of the small buttons? (Seems to be someone @Novell/SUSE - they are available on the "Official Novell Logos" page also.) IMHO the yellow background doesn't look very nice and doesn't even match the openSUSE color scheme (which has no yellow included at all)... Whoever did it - please consider changing this ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz --

Whoever did it has somehow strange taste. Selected yellow resembles on autumn, and it is antagonistic to green, giving feeling of disharmony. Other than that yellow can live fine with green. The color scheme is interesting expression. In art, unlike programming, there is no such thing like absolutely allowed or forbidden. There is only recommended. That is how should be interpreted any idea of color scheme. -- Regards, Rajko.

Hi Aristidis, This mail might be noticed by administrators, but better open a new thread and explain that you have it ready translations.
