General TC > Tiny Core Artwork
5.x Design Guidelines
Zendrael:
Welcome @sethend and @byteshaman!
All ideas and any help are appreciated! Please give your thoughts about the itens mentioned in the first post of this thread too if you like.
@Misalf, I will download and try both, the theme and the icons... Don't know about the size yet. If the combination is good, we can use them then change what we think that will fit better to Core. Following what you said, what about a blue line unde the caption for active windows and just another gray for non-active ones?
Misalf:
blue and gray - good.
Zendrael:
Any other themes or icons to suggest?
Misalf:
I don't know about good gui or icon themes - I only now that I want those.
One criteria for me, to call a theme good, could be that the window bar is about 18 pixels in height so a 16x16 icon fits in there while no space is wasted.
Also I like the close button to be clickable if the window is maximised and the mouse is moved to the very upper right corner (depends on window manager but some themes disable that feature).
A red close button is also good if it suits the theme.
I do not understand why so many themes make the window title text centered on the window bar.
I find it much more suitable if the text is displayed next to the window icon so my eyes can alwas start reading from a fixed point.

I like your attempt to create flat styled icons.
Apart from the fact that your exit icon for example looks actually like an exit icon (while the default TC exit icon looks like.. hmm.. maybe a car door key hole) have you thought about making them resemble the default TinyCore icons a little bit more?

By the way, why does the main TinyCore icon look like a screw head?
gerald_clark:
Because it is a screw head.
Core is a tool kit.
