<br>
>The reasoning is simple, when you use your phone everyday (as I am),<br>

<br>
>So I think the design should include it.<br><br>
Yes, I will take a look at this.<br><br>
>Until now I requested the following things from Jon:<br>
>1. put each topbar icon as a separate .png file online with an<br>
>appropriate license.<br><br> There's one problem with this, not all of the icons are created by
me, they are royalty free icons which i've had laying around for quite
a while, and I really can't remember where I got them. This might be a
problem, but it should not be a huge deal for me to draw new ones if
this is preffered? I don't know if we can re-release under a licence,
since they're free for all, do you?<br><br>
>2. show me one screen with unsmoothed text (whatever it means)<br><br>I will change this.<br>
<br>
>I have been thinking about implementing a bit more. I will read<br>
>one more time throughly the proposal, and write a summary letter,<br>
>how I think we should proceed, and how others can dive<br>>into e gui development.<br>
<br>Nice.<br><br><br>>Jon: Can you redraw the home screen using inkscape? Just that one: <a href="http://jonkristian.no/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/main.jpg" target="_blank">http://jonkristian.no/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/main.jpg</a><br>
<br>Yes I can.<br>
<br>
>Here is a barebone .svg file, to get starting:
<a href="http://laszlo.krekacs.googlepages.com/concept_drawing.svg" target="_blank">http://laszlo.krekacs.googlepages.com/concept_drawing.svg</a><br>Thanks.<br><br>>Dont concentrate on the small details, ie. the gradients between the rows.<br>
>Use simple rectangles, also for the icons you can use your already separated .png files.<br><br>I might have to draw a new iconset myself, because I'm not sure we can re-release royalty-free stuff, in any case, it should be fairly simple.<br>
<br>
>I will be offline for the weekend, so my detailed letter will come on
monday the latest. Until it's plenty of time for inkscape >learning;-)<br><br>>I can't promise any work this weekend, been to the dentist today and pulled two teeth, don't feel quite well yet.<br>
<br>>ps: For gui development we will use inkscape. The reasoning is simple:<br>>it is the best (open source) program for the purpose. So if we would<br>
>use photoshop for example, its a huge (financial) barrier for others to enter.<br><br>
>Also with inkscape, with a little training, you can exactly feel how<br>
>the gui will be build. In edje, the gui is drawn on a canvas, just like<br>
>in inkscape. Only limited thing is, we dont have that many tool (ie.<br>
>we only have rectangles, images, texts, etc in our repertoire, and not<br>
>the more advanced things like vector circle, spiral or bezier curve<br>
>as in inkscape)<br><br>Inkscape and photoshop ain't comparable, ps is not for vectors. But I always work with my mockup's in ps,<br>I'll draw these in illustrator, there's no problem exporting them as svg and opening in inkscape, as far as i know.
