Also I can work some magic in gimp and make some abstract color backgrounds and such Calvin Morrison Kristopher Gamrat <pikidalto(a)gmail.com> wrote: >I personally have no opinion either way.

Mascot and logo, Proposal 1 (Repost)
by David C. Rankin 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

(Repost: originally posted as a reply creating broken thread to "Re: [trinity-devel] [Win+] shortcut default proposal - Efficient Desktop Manipulation". Posted again to insure proper threading) ---------Original--------- This got missed at the meeting, so it's getting announced here: an initial mascot and logo proposal. The mascot doesn't have a name right now, just a cryptic designation of L315 so it can be referred to as something until it has earned a name. It represents the user's individual TDE installation, typically customized to that user's needs, and as such, can be found in multiple strange configurations and doing various things. The Etherpad page is here: http://trinity.etherpad.trinitydesktop.org/8 If you just want to look at a quick single image, here's L315 playing a game with an Atari 2600 joystick: http://imagebin.org/143362 -- this is my second favorite image so far. I may add the plain image of L315 standing at attention at some point, but I'm wondering if a better default pose is possible. This includes a few situations and configurations of L315, and at the bottom shows three applications of a simple and efficient logo derived from L315. Logos need to be as simple as possible, and this one qualifies as simple, and is directly tied to L315. My main worry is that there might be someone else with a nearly identical logo that I don't know about. What I need from you: nits with the implementation of the concept, with L315's configuration, with the logo in the three icon ideas, and possibly with the entire base idea I'm working with. Suggestions for improving the artwork only apply if you have immediately fallen in love with L315. 8) Important thing to remember: Failed branding mascots are by definition forgettable. We want to to be memorable. James Gholston ---------End Original--------- I also tossed out the idea of a Phoenix as a logo/mascot "A phoenix dies a fiery death but then rises again from the ashes." A good KDE3-Trinity analogy. (plus a pretty cool looking logo) A few ideas (for discussion only) I has many forms. The more abstract -- the better: http://www.tchan.de/bilder/phoenixgross.gif http://davidalves.net/images/robocode/phoenix3.jpg http://www.sightquest.com/images/cat/phoenixbird.jpg http://pegasus.cc.ucf.edu/~torrey/phoenix.gif http://affiliates.art.com/get.art?T=15043079&A=028615&L=8&P=12617687&S=2&Y=0 http://www.crimsonmonkey.com/phoenix.jpg http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS0Hr9P3nN8WTDzVAPx8O9a6yO--aCBsxhJ… http://hornconcerto.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/phoenix_force.jpg -- David C.

kdebase CMake build failure
by Timothy Pearson 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

Hi Serghei, Almost there, but I ran into this problem: cp: cannot stat `./debian/tmp/opt/trinity/lib/kde3/kded_favicons.la': No such file or directory Looking through the CMake file did not turn up anything that looked strange or incorrect, so I think you should take a look at it. Thanks! Tim

User's Default Desktop
by Darrell Anderson 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

At the moment I do not have any system here with Trinity installed configured for a graphical login. I have only command line logins configured: I better fix that for testing! When using a login manager and a graphical login, the user's default desktop is defined in $HOME/.dmrc. What does that config file contain when the user selects Trinity as the default? Does Trinity set $HOME/.dmrc like this: [Desktop] Session=kde Or like this: [Desktop] Session=trinity Thanks. Darrell

Preferred SVN layout?
by Kristopher Gamrat 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

Hi, I am noticing that some of the projects in svn have a "master" directory while others have the codename for the release of that distro. This has me wandering what's the preferred way to organize svn. Ark doesn't apply a codename and is doing packages for it's upcoming release. The patches in the past with KDE3 would change occaisionally with each 3.x release (e.g. 3.0 patches probably wouldn't work with 3.4). Considering this, I'm thinking maybe have a Master where the most recent patches and rpm spec go, and copy that over to a release (e.g. 2011.1 for this year, 2012.1 for next year) each time we release. -- Kris "Piki" Ark Linux Webmaster Trinity Desktop Environment Packager

[Win+] shortcut default proposal - Efficient Desktop Manipulation
by David C. Rankin 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

Tim, All, For a long time I used compiz with kde3 due to the efficient and elegant way it allowed you to manage and manipulate your multiple desktops. A majority of users have the default setting of 4 desktops, but never use desktops 2-3-4 because there is no intuitive way to manipulate all desktops from the keyboard. They just keep cramming all the windows they have open on desktop 1. What compiz did was make use of the 'Win' key that is on 99% of the keyboards now to allow easy desktop switching from the keyboard. This really makes using desktops 2-4 efficient because you never have to reposition your hands from the keyboard to grab the mouse and click on the pager or rt-click and choose another desktop. I know this is the nitty-gritty 'little-stuff', but that has always the foundation of kde3 and it should continue in Trinity. I propose the following as default keyboard shortcuts incorporating the 'Win' key. Try them out and you will be amazed how much simpler switching desktops and moving windows between desktops becomes using the keyboard. (the Win key is also in the correct location to prevent losing your finger position over the 'F' and 'J' keys and completely having to reposition your hands after affecting a switch or move from the keyboard. Try these out in kdeglobals: Walk Through Desktops=Win+Tab Switch to Next Desktop=Win+Right Switch to Previous Desktop=Win+Left Window to Next Desktop=Win+Alt+Right Window to Previous Desktop=Win+Alt+Left I added this to ietherpad :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

kdebase CMake build failure
by Timothy Pearson 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

Hi Serghei, I have now run into this build problem: http://quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net:58080/2052751/buildlog_ubuntu-maveri… I have attempted to fix the /kde/source/trinity/trinity/kdebase/doc/khelpcenter/CMakeLists.txt file, but I think I may have just made the problem worse. Can you take a look at it and fix it? Thanks! Tim
