Seams some people don't like me doing bubbles!
So I will admit i might have a problem here some sort of bubble syndrome.
Any way the image.

Took inspiration to do this svg from the amazing picture took by www.johnkimbler.com

That's quite nice and refreshing.

We need a new default for 4.1 - there's too much history with the previous one wavy one!

I'm afraid I'll have to agree with paulo cesar :S
On the contrary, i really like the previous one :)

Btw, any plans of a new KDM Theme for 4.1 release?

Keep up the good work! Thanks.

Cute :) Not a wallpaper material (IMHO), but I like the /rainbow/ gradients... almost like a real bubble :)

p.s. I liked the last wallpaper... (well, I am a Debian fan after all)

I love the "wavy one" (EOS) :)

Nice bubble btw, but I'm not a big fan of the background

very pretty bubble indeed, but i'm completely unsure about the background you've choosen there. it makes the bubble look inverted (inside out) to me somehow

I don't like the background neither, particularly I don't like the color at the top right corner.

The bubble looks nice.

I wonder what it would take for blogger to allow you to serve the svgz files properly from their servers.

Well, I like it :-)

Maybe, could you somehow integrate a K or a gear into the bubble ?

Just forget this as wallpaper. The others are ok, but this one....

Very nice color effect on it.

The color tones and the anisotropic reflection effect reminds me for a logo of a brazilian TV

Anyway, great job!

Nuno I really, really like it. I realise I'm in the minority but I think it looks great. I'm not so sure about the blue gradient in the back, it seems too 'alive' or something...perhaps not so bright? The bubble is fantastic though.

Anyway, I'm a big fan of your work. I've been busy working away with Inkscape on various svg images and I alway check out your work for ideas. In fact it was your work that had me looking at svg in the first place.

Thanks again for all of the hard work,
Tom.

looks cool :-) i've noticed that in recent revisions the startup background in kde 4.1 also features those bubbles .. there they seem a bit out of place though, sorry. i preferred the non-bubble version...

The background is too plain and I don't like the rainbowy stuff inside the bubble, but the bubble looks great apart that.

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

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

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.
