- | ====== Xfce Design SIG (Special Interest Group) ====== | + | ~~NOTOC~~ |
- | The Xfce Design SIG aims at improving the usability and visual appearance of the Xfce desktop environment. Our goal is to bring interested users, designers and hackers together to ensure neither of them is working in a vacuum. By establishing a context in which they can collaborate on smaller and larger design-related projects we try to increase the chance of the proposed changes to be merged into the official Xfce repositories. | + | * **[[#Color Palette|Color Palette]]** |

- | ===== Project Proposals | + | ===== Application Icons ===== |
- | Here you can propose new UI-related projects for the Design SIG to work on. Please provide a title and a short description and maybe a link to mockups and related information. | ||
- | ==== Big Tasks ==== | + | ==== Icon Colors |
- | * **Thunar: Improve | + | Xfce icons use the [[design:start#Color Palette|Xfce color palette]] and have a flat look using solid colors |
- | * The current shared file operation progress dialog provides rather sparse information. It is not easy to decide what information //should// be displayed and how. | + | |
- | * Initial thoughts were written down here: http:// | + | |
- | * **Thunar: Add a persistent, editable UI to copy/move files** | + | |
- | * I've seen something like this in OS X recently: whenever drag-and-drop is initiated in Finder, [[http:// | + | |
- | * Have a simple D-Bus service that allows to store/ | + | |
- | * **xfce4-networkmanager** --- // | + | |
- | * [[design: | + | ==== Icon Sizes ==== |
- | ==== Smaller Tasks and UI Improvements | + | |
- | * **Thunar: Show free-space-status | + | Xfce supports icon sizes of 16px, 24px, 32px, 48px, 64px, 96px, and 128px. Application icons should be provided for all supported sizes. |
- | * [[design/ | + | |
- | * **Terminal: Make tabs look the same as in other programs**. | + | |
- | * See https:// | + | ==== Icon Margins ==== |
- | * I agree the tabs look nicer, but the border around | + | |
- | * **Thunar and keyboard** --- //[[pops451@gmail.com|pops]] 2011/06/05 13:23// | + | The icon sizes above list the final size of the SVG or the PNG, the full page size. But all icons above 16px should have empty space around |
- | * When you create a new folder or file, you type the name, press enter and then you want to open it by pressing enter a second time but you can't. Solution is to just make the file/folder selected after it was created. --- //[[pops451@gmail.com|pops]] 2011/06/05 13:23// | + | |
- | * **xfwm4-tabwin** // | + | |
- | * Users should | + | ==== Icon Shapes ==== |
- | * Showing the window makes cycling slower | + | |
- | * Would also be nice if the opacity | + | There are no hard rules on icon shapes, but the main content of the icon should stay within certain limits |
- | * **Clean up the theme and wallpaper collection.** Include Shimmer themes in the collection. | + | |
- | * I think that this can by a good solution for the gtk3-engine-xfce and the theme in gtk3, since nobody care for these component nor the theming, I think is good simply | + | |
- | * **Design a good, default wallpaper for Xfce.** --- // | + | ==== Icon Borders ==== |
- | | + | |
- | | + | Icons should |
- | * [[http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/ | + | |
- | * I second this propose. In my case every workspace has their own fuction (one for web, another for communication tools, third one for development tools and so on) and displaying applications according to the workspace makes it very fast and easy for me to find out the correct application. I'm currently using Tint2 (multi_desktop mode) instead of xfce-panel because of this feature. //[[eyemonen@wippies.com|eyemonen]] 2012/12/04 12:46// | + | |
- | * **Change default window shadows** | + | ==== Icon Corners ==== |
- | * Xfwm4 window shadows are almost symmetrical, | + | |
+ | Square | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Icon Position and Alignment ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | All icons should | ||
+ | |||
+ | <note important> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Icon Dimensions Table ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ^ Icon Size ^ Square/Rectangle Corner Radius | ||
+ | | 16px | 2px | 16px (0px) | 16px (0px) | 1px | | ||
+ | | 24px | 3px | 20px (2px) | 22px (1px) | 1px | | ||

+ | | 128px | 8px | 104px (12px) | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Icon Detail ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Icons should be fairly simple and easy to understand. While a larger icon may be more detailed, detail in smaller icons should be reduced if needed | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Icon Naming ==== | ||

+ | Application icons use the [[wp> | ||
