I think that I understand a different thing:
I'm working into a Fedora wallpaper that should work for F9, and some of
my ideas are to making it alive :D (If the people was happy with the
infinity giving us the time... we could make the same transition of
images on the desktop but using something different as a pattern).
I wanted to bring a talk (in a different thread) about dynamic versus
static backgrounds and what we are aiming for in F9, but if you said
about it, here is a good place to talk.
The dynamic background was a popular feature, well received in the
reviews, a step forward. But on the other hand it may limit the design
options: it work very well for an abstract theme like Infinity, but it
won't work for something elaborated like FlyingHigh and it would be hard
(but not impossible) for something like DNA.
So there are ups and downs.
The window style... Can we ad some textures to menu bar? (Gnome and KDE)
like a 3D sensation? I now that we could make something on inkscape
looking like a pipe and instead see the things up the bar this COULD BE
SEEN as inside... (but I'm not shure that if this is possible.... just
saying what I have in mind to develop for F9 AS PERSONAL WORK)
Like http://art.gnome.org/themes/metacity/155 ? Yes, it should be
possible to use pixmaps engines, but they are usually slower and consume
more resources (and in my personal opinion look busy).
Menu, window... everithing.... we CAN make a new window style like
3D.... why don't we go for it?
Why? Because nobody convinced us this is the best thing. The best way
would be for you, I think, to create a mockup, post it here and impress
everybody.
Yes... Here on LatinAmerica (Venezuela) the patents issue is really big,
so.... (kind'a proposition) why don't we re-make a new style concept on
the desktop for Fedora 9? It could be the start for a longer way.
The same thing: post a mockup and get some enthusiastic followers. If it
is something complex it may take more than one release cycle.
