Fixing and fixing, everything..

Image
Just another example of oxygen work, hope you guys like it... Lots of developments in the last days in the style front, it seems we will be getting more help in the code making and usability front. I hope we can work all the issues the style seems to have right now..

New world! New experiences...

Image
Oxygen is getting more and more exiting, well at lest I'm getting very confident on all the work we are doing . Today Riccardo and Casper shown me some nice screen shots of the state of the theme and i must say I'm beginning to rely like, it its getting there. Also in the plasmoids front lots of work done and a brand new vision for k4, hope we are able to implement it. Also had a glimpse at the new Oxygen site David and Ricardo are working on, it is amazing it will be much more collaborative than the one we have right now, and also updated ;). Seams everybody is going to Glasgow for Akademy :( i wont be able to be there. Hope i can next year.

Oxygen style is coming to town!

Today Casper Boemann, should be moving the oxygen style into the k4 branch of playground, its still much a work in progress but the last week development started to work really well with everybody sharing ideas of what was working and what was not working and how could we fix it . Oxygen work this last days is going on like crazy, the sound theme is nearly completed and we should be committing it in the coming days, we have also started to work in mock 's for plasma widgets,and a couple of kde sites such as discoverkde . In the icons front we will start to tackle the applications icons has the mime types are nearly all done. So all goes as planed in what i think is the biggest open source artwork project in existence. DIGG

Back to Portugal !

So after some really productive days in Italy with David , Casper , Riccardo , and Thomas, i must say I'm much more confident about the entire widget project, the ideas that are in the table right now are pointing all in the same direction, and that is desktop integration the style will start to reflect in the coming days all the ideas we talked about in this days during the meeting. There are only some minor things that we need to fine tune in terms of what we want. And we talked about all sorts of cool ideas for the next kde cycle, like visual integration of plasma and the widget theme, what is good and bad right now with the icons, target group users, and life in general. Its wonderful to work with people like the kde people, we might not agree always but share the same goals. So its good to be home again, its great to be a part of kde. Thank you so much!!!

Making pretty pictures in to code...

Image
So this days in Milan we been working allot making interaction code , that is making Casper Boemann head go nuts making allot of versions so we achieve pixel perfection. Its a hard road but one we must cross. things are improving so much, and i must say I´m falling in love with the theme.

Moving along

Image
Small Small icons are important we know that. KDE apps are important. But also important is desktop integration with non kde apps like scribus. So having that in mind i started a new set of action icons staring from the smallest icon to the biggest one, so have a look at some of the ones we made so far..... The best part is that most of this icons are usable in all sorts of apps like koffice and openoffice.

More apps, more mimetypes.

This is a quick post just t show some of the latest developments in oxygen first , krita icon and krita mimetype Second Kchart withe his mimetype alongside. Finally the midi mimetype in another position.
