It would also require a lot effort to port IaOra to gtk3 (needed for +Gnome3). Therefore we need a new window decorations and there are the +following solutions: +1.) use the default decoration of each desktop environment: +* Very easy, no extra work needed +* all work is done upstream +* no unique look for mageia +* different look in kde and gnome + +2.) create a new decoration for mageia +* Unique look for mageia +* uniform look in all environments +* heavy heavy load for the devs (kde, qt4, gtk2, gtk3) + +3.) Use other existing window decorations +* easy, just a few work needed +* the are decorations that exists for all common environments -> uniform look +* relative unique look for mageia +* hard to say, what happens if the upstream developer drop the decoration + +From the dev-side of view, solution 1 is the best. But form the artwork-side, +I'm not very happy with it. Our KDE would look like Kubuntu, but with a +different startmenu button. Although a lot of people change the decoration +either, it's making a special first impression if it looks different (and good, +hopefully). Thus, I would like, if we can go with solution 3. But for that, we +need more information. + +I need one of you, who will search the web for decorations that exist in kde, +gnome (and qt). And list them somewhere in the wiki. After that, we can take a +closer look, if this a practicable way, or if we better go with an other +solution. + +One extra note: It already has been mentioned, that the oxygen window +decoration (which is the default for KDE) exist also for GNOME2/3 and Qt. + +Regards, +Thorsten +</PRE> + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000572.html">[Mageia-artwork] Colorpalete +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000571.html">[Mageia-artwork] Window decoration +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#569">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#569">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#569">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#569">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-artwork">More information about the Mageia-artwork +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
