Black fan number 1.

I promised to Urs Wolfer, several months ago to work with him on a new KDM theme that matched the work we were doing a bit all over.
To do the KDM theme I needed a new wallpaper.
Here it is in 2 versions.
http://nuno-icons.com/images/wall/blac.pngThis one works beter as an walppaper IMO.

This one is being used for the KDM.

Any way the Svg link.
Hope you will like it.
Now i need to think about a new logo for a cool project. Wish me luck :)

Without the "bubbles" it would look better imo.

Yeah, I think it would be better without the "bubbles" too.

I like the bubles and they give a end/beguin to the swirly things.
Any way the svg is there, removing them is trivial :)

Nice. Now I can have all sorts of weird and twisted Debian logos on my desktop :P

Nice job though, both of them would make a great KDM background.

Olá nuno, testei recentemente um live -cd com KDE4, foi perceptível como como houve melhora no oxygen. Você vem desenvolvendo um belo trabalho para o KDE.

Tenho uma sugestão para a barra de menu, cada da item do menu dos programas exibe um indicador "_", como nesta imagem: http://img229.imageshack.us/my.php?image=menu1le3.jpg".

Ficaria mais limpo se esse indicador fosse ocultado, sendo exibido apenas ao pressionar ALT, por exemplo. Deixaria o menu mais limpo assim: http://img80.imageshack.us/my.php?image=menu2tb8.jpg

Mhh.. although it looks very nice and sexy (good work) I doubt this will work as a wallpaper cause there's too much distraction caused by the twirls

I like it. As an end user I'd just like to say thanks for all the work you've done so far...the Oxygen work you've done is the most appealing artwork I've seen yet in any of the OSS desktops. Thanks :D

using only flat colours, without gradients, would look much more great

I have a question!

Hopefully in the next few days I should have a Usability test that I have been working on with Björn Balazs from apliki.de on the K3B icons in that study I will pose the same question I'm about to pose now. And hopefully a few more options, that will come from the feedback of this post. So the question is...... "Data cd" 1 or 2?.... 1 2 Don't think to hard, just fire the first thing that pops in your mind, that is the best way to judge a icon IMO..also if you have an better idea please share...I will try to include it in the usability test. P.S Ofcourse the numbers will have to be redone for each size and the document as well... Its one source file for each icon. meaning this one = 14 files 7 png's and 7 svgz's.

Air and KDE 4.3.

-
Image
Air was the wallpaper we introduced in KDE 4.2, but that is just the beginning of something larger. Air is supposed to be different than what Oxygen is, something that tries to appeal to a user base looking for a more "sexy" experience than Oxygen (yeah I know you are out there :) ), but to still have the capability of merging nicely with what we have now. The first thing we started working on was a Plasma theme. Plasma, with it's immense plasticity and a fantastic coder team, allows us to try to push for new ideas. Another extremely cool thing about Plasma is it's ability to become anything you want it to be. So a user in KDE 4.3 might have a desktop that looks like this, if that is his wish, without having to use external software: (click for fullscreen mode) This is an example of how simple one can make a desktop in the 4.3 Plasma once we all manage to get all of our plans working. The new systray speck will help, the work being done on the task bar will allow you ...

The air we see...

Today the great Marco Committed air into svn. Let me just tell you a bit about air, air is a direct descendant of the air wallpaper, I made the first sketch of it the same day I made the wallpaper, and it tries to make the people that found the Oxygen theme "to black" happy. There is no one fits all design, and hopefully with air we can make a wider spectrum of people love KDE. ( in the future I think we can still make a couple more themes) Its still we hope coherent, there are a lot of small details that are shared with oxygen both qt theme as plasma theme. That gives it a feeling of belonging as part of the same experience. We introduced a brand new element in plasma theming, a cropped background the is placed on the plasmoid canvas, (you will see this in the future taken to new heights as it opens a fantasist new set of opportunities to designers). Its transparent, people love transparent stuff :) (we did some effort to avoid contrast issues, but with certain wallp...
