Hello,
I’m a graphic designer. I love my work, BeOS and I belive in Haiku.
I’d like to create a concept design proposal for your new operating system. I’m not a coder, only a creative designer.
How can I collaborate with the creative team in the haiku-project?
I can send a portfolio with my latest works, are you interested?
thanks

I asked the same question regarding sound design (startup, restart sounds) some time ago. The easiest way probably is to just go ahead and create some stuff and then post it here

While nutritious and a good source of family fun, quoting entire posts isn’t necessary.

Sorry about that, won’t happen again

Although there is hardly anything wrong with doing it and complaining about it tends to get the conversation offtopio.

Hi!
I was interested in doing some sound schemes/recordings as well…wanna put our heads together?
Cheers

what do you think about it?
Very nice.
1st: the tabs are on the right side. Most users are left-handed.
2nd: What does the console tab do?
First, sorry for bad english (it is not my native language)
About console tab in apps header, I think, that it can be necessary in many apps, in which console friquently used (simple example - ported application like FreeCiv).
It is not necessary in native programs with perfect GUI, but can be useful as control tool and automation feature for batch processing and task automation.
In this console application can show him status, recieve commands and execute any task, that not depend of GUI.
I know exactly what would help most for Haiku from a graphic designer: icons. I know Michael Phipps has expressed a desire for a good icon set, and so far no one has stepped forward to do something like that. We can’t use the icons used in R5 because they’re technically BeOS intellectual property owned by Palm. As for guidelines, I’d say nothing too cartoonish and that it needs to be obvious what each icon is and is for.
If you go to this link:
http://www.stockicons.com/browse.asp
I would say that Satin, Porcelain, and Isometric are all the kind of thing that the Haiku UI needs. 16x16 and 32x32 icons are needed and IIRC, they need to be limited to 256 colors, so given these constraints, SVG is unfortunately out of the question.
Haiku-branded wallpapers are always nice to have floating around the community. Hope this gives you an idea.

I love the Workspace tabs at the top. What does the close widget on the Tracker do?

Those icons are horrible! Why doesn’t the Haiku team strike a deal with zuMi and use the terrific icons he made? (http://xoomer.virgilio.it/mushaspot/beos-svg/index.htm) Yellowtab didn’t use them for some reason and I doubt there will be copyright issues.
Just use them as .png icons and the problem’s solved. Or am I overlooking something?
How can Haiku “be” BeOS without it’s icons? We should go together and gather some money and outbuy Palms rights to them.
At least, I hope we can see some professional icons. Those Satin icons at Stockicons.com aren’t that bad.
Anyway, guess it will be possible to change those icons and use the “illegal” ones later 
And what’s wrong with the icons by Matthew McClintock. already mentioned earlier in this section?

Not to sound harsh, but just about everything for this particular task. R5-style icons can only support 256 colors IIRC. I like his icons, but Haiku would be treading on legal gray area by using them even if the color depth issue weren’t there. Just because he took the existing BeOS R5 icons and did them up nicer using SVG, they still look essentially like R5’s icons, which I’ve mentioned before as being property of Palm.
I referred to those iconsets as being examples of what I mentioned - not too cartoonish and they are obvious in what they are for, such as clocks, hard drives, etc. Would I want those particular ones? Not really. Porcelain is too much like KDE and Satin is too much like Gnome.
Okay, I feared it would be like that…too close to the originals…will do a thorough search for anything better.
which I've mentioned before as being property of Palm..
They’re probably not… Palm bought the OS and the staff, nothing else - trademarks, domain names, etc all stayed in Be’s hands.
Still wouldn’t stop -Be- owning them, however.
Huh now what…well, I’ll dump the four Url’s already found and wait for the outcome of this legal affair before continuing.
