Hey Guys, This is a Gnome "dark looks" variant with "gion" icons. if I new how to repaint Icons I would repaint the folders light green with dark green tabs. The screenlets are very cool I think what do you think of the Pleiades star cluster as photographed in a dust storm as the background? http://en.opensuse.org/Artwork:Pixel_Pool/11.0/JT_dark feel free to use -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help(a)opensuse.org

Ok, good to know that someone wants it that way. :) SInce ther are many people working on a default theme already, lets assemble all those who are interested in designing an alternative dark theme. Maybe opensuse theme will consider adding it as an alternative in the KDE theme list. I have seen a number of dark themes for SUSE KDE4 already, the ones i listed previously are: 1. Something similar to the default KDE non-suse theme (http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/6936/kde41beta2opensusezr2.jpg) Work can be done on the panels, on the menu (make it look somewhat darkish maybe). Transparency is something to consider. Also, dark page titles would have to be designed. 2. Unused SUSE 11 theme for KDE (http://en.opensuse.org/Artwork:Pixel_Pool/11.0/Dark_Gloss) It's a suse oxygen modification. I don't know how far the author got in his development process. Maybe he will let us use what he already has to complete it into a fully functional theme. Anyway, once we decide what "template" we wanna use, we can start working on the theme. Unless someone wants to develop it from scratch of course.

The background picture for the splash screen looks nice, but it looks there is too much "noise", maybe you have the original one in perfect quality. And regarding the lizard - looks good, nice work with the pen tool :), I would add some blending to the lizard specifically, so it integrates in the picture better. Anyway, that's some constructive criticism from me. Also, a question for everyone, is it possible to have a couple of themes included in the new release? For example, we can have one of the brighter themes we develop as a default one for suse, and then maybe include some good alternatives in the KDE theme list.

I really think we should stick with the SUSE green and Gray like openSUSE 11.0, why ruin a good thing, lets just make it better. Maybe add more contrasts to the colors so they are more eye poping, and the same goes with KDE4 you could really see a difference using the sharpen effect with Kwin4 effects turned on. ;) my .02 cent -Cameron >>> On 8/12/2008 at 11:59 AM, in message <cdc89fe60808121059i435e9f56k9507ffc66fdc7c6f(a)mail.gmail.com>, "T.

[opensuse-artwork] Pixel Pool concepts

I just joined the list. I saw the call for submissions for Pixel Pool and I've been playing with a KDE 3 theme for openSUSE. I'm not 100% sure which direction to go in. If people like the theme, and it is cemented a bit I can attempt to then create a KDE 4 theme and perhaps a Gnome theme to match. http://en.opensuse.org/Artwork:Pixel_Pool/11.1 In a little bit I'm going to upload a new picture with a more plain "standard background" color. I was experimenting with an off-white that I'm not sure I like. Feedback would be appreciated! -- T. J. Brumfield "In the beginning the Universe was created.
