A block of black!

-
Yesterday and today I have been fighting with a film strip for the K3B icons and I have totally blocked, usually my answer is a bad movie and some junk food. And that usually works, or..... heee... not, either way I still get to eat a burger :).
But today I decided to try a different angle, do something black, as you all know I have a thing for black and bubbles.... so here it goes a blackish bluish thing that you can use as an wallpaper, or nothing :).

In case you are wondering if my icon block is gone .... Nope.... But I did not had a burger :) thats a good thing right?.... hummmm Right?..... I wonder :P.

@Neo heeee plain inkscape its a trivial thing, just do some lines make copies of them blur them and there you go ...the copies must have a bigurer with that the main one so the blur is visible under the main one also use radial gradients in the lines for fun....

This image became my wallpaper since you published it. It replaced the dark grey one (also yours) I had before.

But sometimes I have an impression of low colour resolution. As if my screen were set to 16 bits instead of 24 bit true colour.

Today I opened this one in Gimp and made some tests. The degrade is really not so smooth as it could be.

What do you use to create these images? Maybe it is a bug in the renderer of your editor or a post processing you do that causes some loss in colour precision.

@Aldo Nogueira its that 24 bits its not enough and inkscape could do a beter joob in making radial gradients and fuzing that efect...

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.

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.
