[opensuse-artwork] design for openSUSE t-shirts ?
by Michael Loeffler 21 Sep '10

Moin, we'll produce soon another round of openSUSE t-shirts. My question is should we do the same black openSUSE shirts (openSUSE logo on front , back black with a small "Sponsored by Novell" in the neck area) or do different ones ?

[opensuse-artwork] design for openSUSE t-shirts ?
by Helen 28 Aug '10

28 Aug '10

Hello all, this is my first post to the list; I've only been lurking a little while, but wanted to add a few thoughts on the designs. I'm coming from a Fine Art background and teach drawing. I agree that most freebie Tshirts are things I never want my husband to wear! And I'd never be caught dead in! Also I like to wear shirts with jackets, and a partial logo just looks 'messy'. The problem is that so often the logos look 'stuck on'. They are hard edged, clearly advertising, with very little artistic merit. Good as a logo on a sticker or box, but they are not fashion. Tshirts with a shirt-pocket-location logo, or with a rectangular design plastered down the front are so 'old hat'. Boring! Check out the Ubuntu shop - I'd love a Suse shirt like the women's lynx Tshirt, with the logo down on the side. The design is loose and expressive. Logos that run down one side of a shirt, from the shoulder, along the hem or pocket, or that look like they are an integrated design in the fabric (not stuck on the front by a screenprinter) look interesting. Also, think about how much information is on there - there doesn't need to be a lot. You don't have to spell everything out in black-and-white. The city skyline is great but with the straight text underneath, it looks unbalanced - because it all goes gradually upwards, it seems as if it's on a slope. What about doing the skyline and swinging the line down and continuing with the same line around a Chameleon - a unified, connected design, as suggested earlier. It would look great done to look like a relaxed ink line, pencil or even stitching. I promise to make my next posts much more concise and to the point! And I'll be doing some artwork to share soon also. regards, Helen in Australia -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-artwork] Request
by Andy 24 Aug '10

24 Aug '10

Planing for a Revolution Working on design for the openSUSE project is indeed a hard thing to do. I am not a Novell or openSUSE employee. I do what I do with my free time, which will be drastically reduced soon, because the school year is starting at the end of the month. I am hoping to keep posting as often as I am currently doing it and finding those things that are little, and can be changed for a better openSUSE. Because I will have less time to work on this, I need to focus my energy and think more practically. I need to make something happen and work it out. This is the reason why I got in touch with Jos Portvliet from openSUSE. We have been talking recently about how to make some of my ideas become a reality. His input is pretty valuable to me. It is, I think, the first time someone from all the way up there in openSUSE has shown willingness to work through some of these ideas. Jos thinks that the Revolution ideas are good but they need to be focused; and I agree. We came up with a plan to have some things changed. But here I am officially looking out for help from designers that work on the openSUSE project. Sorry about this, but I am looking for people who are designers, highly critical of openSUSE's current layout design as well as their theming. Why? because the all-inclusive nature of Linux communities appeals to a great variety of people. All of them can give us an opinion, very valid too, but not all the time specific. A lot of times, all we get is rant, disagreement, but no solutions. Right now, with this project I am looking for people who know about development and design because the openSUSE/KDE desktop also needs creative solutions. So here is a rundown of a simple idea expressed in plan form: Objective. To make openSUSE a Linux distribution more friendly to novice users and adopters by creating a customized graphical user interface based on KDE but with different graphical elements than any other Linux distribution. This will make openSUSE visualy recognizable and branded to a higher level than it currently is. Analysis Form a designers team. We will: Revise openSUSE graphical stance. Point out design improvement areas. Create Strategy for New Look. Propose strategy to openSUSE community. Design Decisions Work on reduction, simplicity, automatization and layout design. Gather the most relevant design complaints from designers team. Work on the top 3 design changes for the next release of openSUSE. Gather programmers and propose new design ideas. Implement other 7 suggestions for upcoming releases. What we will do: New KDE plasma style and arrangement (plasma style, desktop widgets, wallpapers, etc) Kickoff's redesign What do you think? Who wants to join me? If you are serious about this, please send me an email and we will figure out how we will work together and make these things happen. This plan is not perfect and if you have great input to share on it, please do. Let's be a team. We can do it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-artwork] The openSUSE 11.3 installer
by Javier Llorente 23 Aug '10

23 Aug '10

Hi listmates, The other day I installed openSUSE 11.3 on a laptop and I paid attention to the installer's artwork. It uses both GNOMEish and KDEish icons and a GNOMEish cursor theme. Wouldn't it look better with one set of icons that matches the style of the cursor theme (ie: Oxygen)? gnokii has already done some work on making the installer look better http://karl-tux- stadt.de/ktuxs/?p=2547 Any other thoughts on the installer's artwork? Greetings, -- Javier Llorente

[opensuse-artwork] call for help for the installer
by S.Kemter 21 Aug '10

21 Aug '10

Hello, as some of u know, I try to redesign the installer of ur distro. Some time ago I did a blogpost about the slideshow in it. http://karl-tux-stadt.de/ktuxs/?p=2587 I think the text information in the slideshow, and which slides we show, should be reimproved too. So I made a little brainstorm what should the slideshow contain and in which order should they showed. U can find it here: http://karl-tux-stadt.de/tmp/yast-installer2.png 1. project should be a little introducion what openSUSE is and how its created 2. one of my points was, that in the old slideshow would showed many slides with what the installed distro has, u never keep all names of the programs in ur mind during the install process, so better make a generally slide that says, u have all installed what u need and can find more. And show a way how to find the programs 3. in the old slideshow openFATE wasnt mentioned, I think thats not good because a user who work with ur ditro all day can sometimes have good ideas what we can do better. So we should give him a whole slide 4. How u can find help, should be contain some words to openSUSE wiki and forums and so on 5. How u can help, should descirbe that we are a project from contributors and that there is a way to contribute too 6-7. 2 slides with ways to contribute 8. Build ur own should be a slide about SUSE Studio 9. a slide about the OBS 10. a last slide, for short repeat and invite to be part of openSUSE The only problem is, I dont like to do this alone without a discussion, second reason I am not really good wit english texts ;) So would u help me with this? As I know Jos created a piratepad or something like that. br gnokii -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help(a)opensuse.org

It would be nice if I can wear it at other events than PC discounts.

[opensuse-artwork] notify-osd and Sonar!
by Nelson Marques 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Hi, I'm currently packaging Notify OSD[1] (a replacement for notification-daemon) and everything seems to be ok, just need to make sure it's according to openSUSE's packaging guidelines before I try to push this into the official repositories, which might take some time before I start the process (a couple of days). I'm making this available with leolik's patch [2] which deploys further configuration capabilities into Notify OSD through ~/.notify-osd file. The typical contents of this file are: slot-allocation = dynamic bubble-expire-timeout = 10sec bubble-vertical-gap = 10px bubble-horizontal-gap = 10px bubble-corner-radius = 50,5% bubble-icon-size = 36px bubble-gauge-size = 5px bubble-width = 320px bubble-background-color = e0d6ba bubble-background-opacity = 100% text-margin-size = 15px text-title-size = 100% text-title-weight = bold text-title-color = 008000 text-title-opacity = 100% text-body-size = 100% text-body-weight = normal text-body-color = 152114 text-body-opacity = 100% text-shadow-opacity = 25% There are default values hardcoded on notify-osd code. I'm contacting this list regarding this default values... Would openSUSE Artwork like to create a Notify OSD theme so I can make a patch and distribute the binary with this theme ? My binary build of notify-osd can be found here [3] and you can also try this tool which I'm also planning to package for easier tweaking. This binary was compiled on Fedora 13 but runs cools on openSUSE, I'm currently working out a patch for the Makefile so I can build also an RPM for notifyconf[4]. I know this is ugly, but I've made this also, it's a fun screenshot of a possibility of configuration. I know it doesn't integrate with the rest of the desktop, but I was playing around ;) [5] Best Regards, Nelson [1] - https://launchpad.net/notify-osd [2] - https://launchpad.net/~leolik/+archive/leolik [3] - http://nmarques.fedorapeople.org/packages/F13/notifyconf/ [4] - https://launchpad.net/notifyconf [5] - http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/notify-osd+--+openSUSE +11.3?content=129016 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help(a)opensuse.org
