Dearadh Oscailte Abú! (Open Design Forever!)
So you’re getting a blog post on this because I missed having something to show Garrett before he finished work for the day (he’s several timezones ahead of me and I was overly slow.) 🙂 This may be crispier than it would have been had I caught him. Let me catch you up on where …
Fedora’s artwork, including our print-ready media art and other collateral, are produced by the Fedora community, much of it by the Fedora Design Team (our Ambassadors team creates some as well!) Alexander’s F17 media sleeves design For the past several releases, Alexander Smirnov has created and maintained our media artwork, countdown banners, and with Fedora …

We’ve been having a bit of a Anaconda custom partitioning UI thrown down the past couple of days in #anaconda to try to make some more progress on it. You may recall, the direction we’d most recently taken the mockups involved a UI centered around the mount points that are / will be created on …
Fedora 17’s grub2 screen won’t be the ugly black and white thing you saw in Fedora 16. The reason for the ugliness in Fedora 16’s grub splash is that it was the first release we used grub2 and there were some missing files that prevented the theme from working at all. We punted on it …
So with some great feedback and great suggestions from you, I’ve been iterating more on the partition resize screen for Anaconda. I started out by poking around with the visual design of the drag handles, and Robin had the idea to make the space between partitions draggable and to use a model where you only …
In my last post about Anaconda’s UX redesign, there were a couple of mockups that featured draggable diagrams for managing space on a disk, allowing you to shrink its partitions as possible: I’ve been thinking about the best way to make the partitions look draggable. They only need to be draggable horizontally; the mockup above …
So there’s a path in the storage flow of the Fedora installer redesign where if you don’t have enough free disk space to complete an install right now, but you have enough latent space available in your partitions if you were to shrink them. We offer to let you shrink them to continue the install …
Well, I got into a Photoshop vs. Gimp pissing match. Sigh. Lots of rich manure left behind in the aftermath. Why not try to plant a seed and grow a useful vegetable from it? So here’s a quick screencast (created using GNOME Shell’s built-in screen recorder with audio using a trick posted to GNOME bugzilla …
I went to the Shut Up and Draw session at SXSW yesterday. On the plane ride home last night, I decided to shut up and draw some mailman ideas. Well, I have 16 more… the first sixteen were about as many I thought reasonable for one post. So here’s the rest. These are just thumbnail …
