[Fedora-desktop-list] Fonts-extras

So when are we going to make a fonts-xtras package for Fedora? My
goodness it would be nice to get some more fonts on this thing. I can do
it by hand but it would be nice if we worked together and specifically
chose a collection of extras as one packege. Of course they have to be
free. Let me know what you think of this? I was using inkscape and gimp
and was thinking why the heck don't we have a fonts-extras yet? Just a
though ;).

[Fedora-desktop-list] What is the license on the Fedora artwork?
by Steven Garrity
Simple question - apologies if it has already been covered: What, if
any, license applies to the Fedora artwork (both the final product in
the CVS and the vector originals that Garrett has kindly shared)?
I'm asking with a specific using in mind (adapting the bluecurve
throbber to a Mozilla Thunderbird theme), but I'm also curious in general.
Thanks,
Steven Garrity

/usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-mail-icon.png is icky.
/usr/share/icons/Bluecurve/48x48/apps/redhat-web-browser.png is really

[Fedora-desktop-list] Contributions
by Kreg Steppe
If I or anyone else for that matter wants to contribute artwork, what
guidelines do you have? Are you looking for contributions that are
consistant with the current Bluecurve theme? I.E. Icons and such, (Not
just backgrounds).
I personally think that expanding on the current look and feel would be
productive, seeing as far as the current look and feel has come along. I
guess what I am getting at is what is needed? I am sort of directing
this to Garrett because you have been working on this for so long with
RH, you would know what is needed, and what has been done.
Also how are things submitted?
I really want to participate.

[Fedora-desktop-list] Public repository of working artwork files
by Steven Garrity
I thought I would make use of the new desktop list to re-kindle the
request to have a publicly accessible repository for the working files
that are used to create the artwork (EPS/photoshop/illustrator/gimp
files, etc.).
I asked about this last month and Garrett replied positively (see
below). Not trying to pester - just a friendly reminder.
Thanks,
Steven Garrity

[Fedora-desktop-list] Let's get started.
by Jonathan C. Sitte

To start let us start with something really simple. I think we all have
the tools for creating icons. Give me a list of icons in FC1 that need
to be made or updated. I do not know how we are going to do things
together in an integrated way. I am sure Mr. Bluecurve can give us some
inside info on that. I have an everything install so I can see every
icon in GNOME and KDE. To start I can tell you that Mozilla Mail has a
terrible icon. We should update it to comply with Bluecurve. I noticed
that there is already one for Mozilla Mail Message:
/usr/share/icons/Bluecurve/48x48/apps/mozilla-compose-icon.png
This may also intail not creating icons but using the ones that already
exist. For the icons that already exist it would be as simple as
contacting the package maintainer about it to change the default menu icon.
Back to tools. I know that I am not made of cash so I use Linux
exclusively for all my work. I will be able to contribute Raster and
Vector graphics via Gimp, Gimp Devel and Sodipodi as my main programs.
We should all decide on what file formats (example: XCF possible for
Raster?) we should be working with for a unified database of work
online. It would be nice to have a online server where we can all trade
ideas alsa with user folders. I am sure there is already a system set
up. Let us know how things are done.
The hard part would vector graphics and templates. Gimp and photoshop
play pretty well together when it comes to psd files. Vector graphics
will be the hard part. Sodipodi still has a long way to go but Gimp
Devel is getting there. I have not really made that many icons so please
inform me what has been used to make them for Bluecurve.
That is about it for now.
Cheers,
