[ubuntu-art] ideas for kubuntu edgy...glass effects, colors, textures, etc.

[Kenneth Wimer]

Hi all,

I thought I might spur some creativity by posting some of the ideas I  
have played around with for kubuntu. Of course, all of these are  
SVGs, so if anyone wants to have those files as well, let me know.

splash, etc.

As can be seen I have tried the ideas of a strong glass effect, so  
stick with the crystal theme, which is what we have, like it or not,  
for kde3. In addition I have used the color purple a lot - I  
seriously think we should go in this direction, color-wise. In  
addition, I used a camera pic for the bg of the login manager which  
is a neat idea, I think - not necessarily that pic, but something  
interesting and purple :-) Last but not least, I tried to use the  
world map texture in a first attempt at a kdm bg. I think this is  
nice as it supports the idea of linux for the whole world, etc. I am  
going to play around with making a normal desktop bg out of the world  
map idea as well.

If we can nail things down a bit, I'll start a wiki page (urghhhh, me  
no like wiki editing) :-)

Bye,
Ken
