Design done...

Hello again, so I believe I am 90% done with the base style direction and main UI components for O², and am currently struggling with my not so bright idea of dinamic QML colour pallets.  Still overall I'm happy with the general visual direction of the UI style, it's IMO clearly derivative of Oxygen but today.  Now having done 90% of the design and doing the serious work I know that the solemn work that will take far far more time is upon me and us..  So in the next week's I will be mostly focussing on the qml implementation that as already started and implementing a kinda Oxygen-demo UI showcase. After that I have to do something even more difficult... That is to find a a icon style that does the same that the UI style above did.. bring to today oxygen of yesterday. And fix any of its issues...

 week report on O² In a nutshell, did some stuff, then done it again was happy with parts of it, and finaly ended the week on a positive note with a talk on QtCon brazil 2020 Highlights. New version for light Bg's using extra noise generated from the 2 active colours. Made some progress in the internal rules for palette generation, as I have said on of my prime objectives is to be able to create extremely simple palettes with no more of 5-7 colours that area able to be translated in to fully working pallets. something I'm planing to start testing in qml next week.  In that note more work on the  QML components that test the mock-ups and animate the features, notice the progress bar deal with small values   here you can see a zoomed version of the UI 2x notice the outline on the progress bar that changes the colour, flowing the edge of the progress all the way to the end.    Finally Saturday I had the pleasure to participate in the QtCon brazil were I could use my native Portugu

Hello every one in the KDE planet and beyond, this is the progress weekly report on O². So The week surprisingly started Monday and after the initial chock and accompanying usual work day at KDAB, I decided to do a little bit of progress on  O² style mock ups... Started with progress bars in both radius variants tan bowth sizes variants as well and bowth color testing variants. Its ok IMO but need to test and implementation in QML to be more sure about it. specially on the white variation it looks off.  Tuesday was....  labels and drop boxes days, show in to way to layout labels for boxes and the acompaning multiple sizes colors and radius variations.                     Wednesday was  first test/mock day with a spinner/ more on that Saturday.. Tuesday was the day I started to experiment with old desktop style check and radio boxes... WIP. they dont "Pop" much and it was intentional but need to balance it with the other elements... Another one that needs to be in QML Friday w

Hello so ...  My name? Nuno Pinheiro. Ocupation? Heee Designer Stuf. Location? Portugalio. Age? C'mon don't ask things like that...., but apparently its a good answer for anything and everything.   So introductions made,...heee right what is this about? Read the title... geee.. Not clear enough? Right.... Ok lets get one thing straight, this is not Oxygen all over again, it is but... its not, heee... Oxygen was made to be default. Oxygen had more capable people than me steering it in the beginning, Oxygen was massive, we are talking about something in the whereabouts  8000-12000 hours worth of work. For Oxygen amount of work we have Breeze.  So now that I stated what it is not i'm done right.?... humm?.. no?   Ok starting to get a bit more serious because, well I have to, this new thing is something that I had as a plan since the end of Oxygen.. Something on the realm of... "How would I do it now that I know what I did not knew wen this started....." But even befo
