deadlock
by R. Allen Sanford 03 Dec '03

03 Dec '03

Hello I am running ATI 9200 and there seems to be a problem running screen saver for prolonged periods, the screen seems to freeze which causes the entire system to deadlock. Another note is that it only happens when the screen saver runs for prolonged periods. Not sure which package causes the dealock yet. The problem occurs everytime the screen saver runs for prolonged periods.

Desktop Graphics Approval committee?
by Trae McCombs 03 Dec '03

03 Dec '03

Hey all, I've recently noticed a few people tossing URL's out here and there for potential graphics. I certainly hope there is some sort of approval process that makes sure only tasteful and professional graphics and artwork make it's way into Fedora. There are other distro's, I won't name names, that include just terrible graphics and look awful. Redhat, and now Fedora, is a really nice professionally looking disto, and I'm sure this is mostly because of Garrett. Is there going to be some sort of committee that approves things? If so, I would love to be on it. If not, what is the process in which things could or could not be incorporated. I think this needs to get detailed and presented so everyone will know where things stand. I would hate to think that since we are opening things up, the the quality standard is going to go down.

SVG Fedora logos
by Garrett LeSage 02 Dec '03

02 Dec '03

Hey, I have exported the Fedora Project and Fedora Core logos to SVG: http://people.redhat.com/glesage/artwork/Fedora/fedora-project-logo.svg http://people.redhat.com/glesage/artwork/Fedora/fedora-core-logo.svg With the Fedora Core logo, I had to drop the subtle dropshadow. Other than this one change, it should be exactly the same. Having SVG versions of the logos should help out in case anyone (without Illustrator) may want to make their own backgrounds or would wish to suggest anything for submission to the project with the Fedora brand.

Bluesquared... (not finished yet)
by Trae McCombs 01 Dec '03

Hey gang, I wanted to also put this out there... I worked for a wee bit on trying to get Bluecurved to be squared. I've fixed the corners, and simply need someone *cough*garrett*cough* who is a metacity theme God to tell me how to do the buttons. You can see a partially implemented version of it here: http://occy.net/tmp/roundbuttons-BAD.png I actually removed the round part of the buttons until I can get it fixed, you can download what I've done so far here: http://occy.net/tmp/bs.tar.gz Which will result in something looking like this: http://mccombs.nu/gallery/screenshots/nov_21_2003_ss Here is what I hope it will look like in the end: http://occy.net/tmp/bs.png Which, the above, is essentially a mockup, since I've not been able to figure it out yet. I would like to make a motion that the final "Bluesquared" theme, be a part of Fedora. So you'd have a choice of having the rounded corners, or the squared off corners. I am not interested in having any credit for this work that I've done, since it's only 0.0000001%(or much less) of any of the work that's even gone into the theme making. I simply want to have a really cool squared version of "Bluecurve". :) That is all... Trae -- Trae McCombs http://occy.net/

I was thinking of making an alternate icon for myself to replace "the hat on the panel". Maybe something slightly different to reflect fedora. I was considering making the hat's brim more angular and putting a feather in the black band. WHat does everyone think about this?
