Week report 0

-


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 was the day I worked on sound wave notifications for assistants... seamed like a great idea on my brain, but I'm not so sure i like it, after all this time (2 days is a very long time ) :faceplam emoicon

 

 

 

 

 

Finally yesterday i was supposed to work on the sound wave QML implementation but I got distracted by the implementation of a spiner/progess thingy... here playing with tension creation and release. only useful if we know the progress value.

Next week i will try to create a video for all of this... probably just screen-casting my work and inserting some side comments. kinda like this but maybe more fun

Finlay already said this the other day but,  have been posting  the progress every days on Instagram, (sorry for the blurriness)     https://www.instagram.com/pinheirokde/  in case you are interested in dally updates

cheers and see you all tomorrow next week...

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...

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

Yeah do you want to help us create O². Most of the design concepts are done, but my C++ QtStyle foomagic is lower than zero ;) so muhhhh heee... do you want to help? Janet extraordinaire yesterday helped a bit and adjusted the old Oxygen painting to do a preliminary implementation of the noise O² needs for its background, but that is only the very beginning of what is needed. Also if you have experience in kirigami/plasma, styling. Designers are welcome as well...   If you do...... Just made this https://t.me/OxygenSquared for chatty chatty things.
