Project logo #116

VOTE MESSAGES BELOW FOR PROPOSALS

the current name of the project (oomox) was chosen to mimic name of Numix gtk theme, on which oomox gtk theme is based. However from that moment project has been grown to support more thing totally unrelated to Numix theme.
So my suggestion is to leave the current name (oomox) only for the gtk theme itself, but come up with some less misleading name for the project itself.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Hello @actionless ,

I don't care about the name but the regular user has migrate from GNOME Color Chooser to oomox and if you change the name from oomox to another name.

I'm not opposite to a change if you choose a really explicit name that describe what this software do.

Best regards and thank for your great job.

actionless · 2018-01-05T23:43:37Z

if it will be very generic name it could be something like Gtk Theme Generator or GNOME Theme Generator (and shortened gtg looks fine as for cli tools)

IMO, It's simple so great. It's in the KISS philosophy. Best regards. -- Alex ARNAUD Visual-Impairment Project Manager Hypra - "Humanizing technology"

i'll leave the topic open for the couple of months

also i was thinking of options "Gtk Theme Designer" or "GNOME Theme Designer" (because that's actually more truish since app itself is not generating themes, but calling external theme generators, so it's in fact only implementing Edit and Preview components for the theme files), but gtd sounds less easy to remember

nana-4 · 2018-01-12T12:09:13Z

I personally like the name oomox (It's unique, and honestly I didn't notice it is a mimicked name of Numix until now XD), but I'd like to put out some ideas.

theme-gen
open-themer
open-theme-gen (and shortened otg)
themix

By the way, (I'm not sure but) if the project supports KDE, etc. in the future, including Gtk or GNOME in the name may get in the way.

nana-4 · 2018-01-12T12:09:40Z

Also I guess we have to take care that gtg is already used for Getting Things GNOME! (as an executable command & a package name).

actionless · 2018-01-12T12:35:56Z

themix

it's a very nice one

name oomox (It's unique..

it's quite a pointless star trek reference btw

actionless · 2018-01-15T05:32:05Z

also i was thinking of Libre Theme Designer a.k.a. ltd

boardfish · 2018-01-21T11:40:06Z

gtkolor was the first thing that came to mind, but I agree that themix has a nice ring to it. I also had the idea of maxx after the TK/TJ Maxx clothing store chains - after all, this is about making your desktop look good. Could even call it gtk-maxx to make people aware that it's a gtk-related tool.

I'm a little tired so I'm not sure if this idea is laughable or what, but I found this as a pywal dependency and I'm pretty amazed by what it can do. Thanks for this tool, it's really special!

feature request

Option to set transparency. I would request this implementation before you move to application-specific settings.
import themes- it may be harder than it sounds.
Highlight the item we are editing.
I am sure you are well aware of radio button and checkboxes. I hope it is on the way too.

actionless · 2018-02-03T20:31:51Z

@somesh101 thanks, those are interesting ideas, please file separate tickets for them

(i think ticket already exist for (2))

Rosalie241 · 2018-02-08T14:28:00Z

I personally would like the name oomox to stay, it's an already well known name(around ricers) and changing it will be a hassle for programs which use oomox-cli and it'll be confusing(I suspect) towards everyone, since changing the name while it's such a well known project isn't required and will be some work for package maintainers.

actionless · 2018-03-07T12:38:10Z

@tim241 oomox-cli will still stay because i don't have any plans about renaming oomox gtk theme, only GUI app itself

one of the reasons -- to avoid the confusion between the app and the theme

actionless · 2018-03-18T00:50:28Z

themix (which seems to be the best/most appropriate name so far) organization name is taken already

what about such organization name: https://github.com/the-mix (but leave the appname themix without dash)

or the-theme-mix will be better?

It looks good to me. Best regards, Alex.

actionless · 2018-03-20T20:52:55Z

@nana-4 what do you think?

nana-4 · 2018-03-21T05:03:14Z

Hi,
In my first impression, I thought the name of the-mix or the-theme-mix may confusable. What about themix-project (or themix-org, etc.)? I guess themix-*** is less confusing.

actionless · 2018-03-21T05:59:40Z

thanks for suggestion! that indeed sounds more clear, so i've created https://github.com/themix-project

would you like to join me?

nana-4 · 2018-03-21T07:21:07Z

@actionless Sounds great! I hope I can help the project, but maybe I couldn't very much because I don't have much knowledge of Python or Shell. Still if you don't mind, I will join you. :)

actionless · 2018-03-21T12:41:13Z

you already shown some evident expertise in css and gtk-specific knowledge, it will be useful to have you around, i think it will be easier to coordinate the support/maintaining on the themes

i think that also help to coordinate the support and maintaining of your theme since seems now there is some intersection in our userbase

actionless · 2018-03-21T12:44:31Z

also you already was very helpful with the naming, mb you could also help coming up with some simple logo, mb just word themix written in different colors or smth like that

actionless · 2018-03-21T13:11:45Z

@smurphos hi! you also shown high interest recently on improving the themes, would you like to join the project?

nana-4 · 2018-03-21T13:35:15Z

@actionless Thanks! So I would like to join the project. 👍 I'll also think about the logo. :)

smurphos · 2018-03-21T13:55:39Z

@actionless Thanks for the invite - would be a pleasure. I'm learning a lot working on this.

actionless · 2018-03-21T22:02:44Z

i was also thinking what themix-foundation sounds funny as well, however it could be way too ironic 😃

actionless · 2018-03-31T18:50:35Z

@nana-4 did you got any idea for the logo?
also your invitation is pending (you won't see it anywhere on the github itself but in your e-mail only)

nana-4 · 2018-03-31T20:26:27Z

did you got any idea for the logo?

I'm considering the logo like a gemstone shining in rainbow, because your project can change the themes to various colors. What do you think? Do not hesitate to say your any opinion. :) Here is a very early version of the logo:

also your invitation is pending (you won't see it anywhere on the github itself but in your e-mail only)

Sorry, but I can't find the invitation from my e-mail. Any idea?

actionless · 2018-03-31T20:34:25Z

looks nice, what about adding some kind of control, like SpinButton or Scale to represent the customization?

mb try opening this page and it will show some button to join: https://github.com/orgs/themix-project/people

actionless · 2018-03-31T20:48:41Z

i mean something similar to this may be, but better executed:

it could be better with a bigger control, in the center, and with some effect between the "separation line"

actionless · 2018-03-31T20:54:46Z

also, if you don't mind, for now i'll put your first mockup as organization avatar to avoid using default auto-generated github avatar

nana-4 · 2018-03-31T21:26:47Z

Hmm, I double checked, but it seems the invitation email has not arrived. Also I cannot do anything from the page. It seems https://github.com/themix-project has no public members, but I suppose you need to become its owner first.

nana-4 · 2018-03-31T21:41:29Z

Feel free to use that. :)

It may look good. 👍 I'll consider about a nicer design.

actionless · 2018-03-31T21:47:16Z

ooops, i've instead sent the invitation to @nana4

sent it now to you

nana-4 · 2018-03-31T21:50:47Z

I received the invitation now. Thanks :)

@nana-4
ha, now i like the logo idea even more, i mean i hardly can imagine non-autistic people messing with arch and all those small theme customizations, you know 😸

actionless · 2018-05-03T17:48:03Z

@nana-4 have you got a chance to finalize the logo?

nana-4 · 2018-05-28T13:20:29Z

@actionless I apologize for replying to you so late. Recently I was very busy and in a slump against this 😫 But I finalized the logo anyway!

Well, I reconsidered the design based on your idea and decided to change the logo to the dial-style - since I thought that adding a slider etc. wouldn't work well with smaller icons.

The source and assets are here. [1] Feel free to (re)use and/or modify it. If you don't like it or have requests for the design, please tell me. I'll consider changing the logo. (Regarding the colors, we can easily change it 😃)

[1]: Off-topic note: Sadly, the source SVG is not properly rendered in librsvg 2.42.x. It's properly rendered with Inkscape and web browsers, though. So I'm going to report this bug to the upstream.

actionless · 2018-05-28T15:18:18Z

I like it, looks elegant. I would mb suggest enlarging the blue dot size, since on smaller icon sizes it looks rather small

nana-4 · 2018-05-29T07:41:25Z

Thanks @actionless.

I intended the blue dot (hollow) as a small decoration. I already tried to make it larger, and tried again, but I feel it's already large enough. On smaller icons, if I try to enlarge it even a little, it breaks the balance (or its pixel-perfect). So it's trade-off though.

actionless · 2018-05-29T11:31:28Z

ok, sounds reasonable. i'll update github and installation files tonight.
thanks for your effort a lot!

actionless · 2018-05-29T18:48:25Z

@nana-4 done!
