Hi Friends, I'm happy to see all the excitement about LGM and Hackfest and interface design! As just an ordinary Inkscape user, I do hope that potential interface re-designs can be tested by ordinary users, before it becomes permanent. One thing that a LOT of other ordinary users would like is a way to easily change the theme, or "skin". What I think of as the theme includes icons or icon sets/files, window colors, and maybe even canvas color (although I realize the canvas color can already be changed easily). Have fun in England!
All best, brynn _______________________ From: C R Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2016 4:04 PM To: Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz Cc: inkscape-devel Subject: Re: [Inkscape-devel] Participation in LGM [Design]
I will, of course lend any help requested. :) I'd be interested to see what other designers have to say. -C On 15 Mar 2016 9:24 pm, "Jabiertxo Arraiza Cenoz" <jabier.arraiza@...2893...> wrote:
Hi again Xavi.
I think is great a group focusing in UX inside the proyect. We also have some proposal to improve the UX, and hope we can remix all in a super usable app.
About your travel, to me seems very good you take free time to came to the hackfest one day, thanks, anyway, this is only an idea i send to you, the question to the comunity: Whats the opinion about 2-3 people came to hackfest? We can close it?, If anybody think is better meet us on LGM we can search for a convenient place/time to do it.
Cheers, Jabier.
Hi everyone!
Since this year is the LGM and the hackfest it could be a good moment to meet personally with some of you and talk/learn about the Inkscape interface design.
In a conversation with Ilmari, from the LibreOffice team, he pointed out that they currently have a design team with great results. A design team could (should!) also include developers, who like to hack on the UI and how functionality is presented to the user.
We are also part of the Open Source Design community with tons of designers with interest in contributing but have little idea on how to start contributing to projects like Inkscape. This Design team could help new contributors to be useful on the current development.
We really want to contribute to Inkscape with our skills :)
Do you think it would be good to create an official Design team inside Inkscape?
In a conversation with Jabier he suggested us to meet in the hackfest in Leeds, we are a group of 2-3 designers going to the LGM and, if you think it would be useful to meet in the hackfest, we could make it to Leeds on 13th (arriving 12th night).
Thanks, looking forward to meet at the LGM!
Xavi
