| |
| <p>The <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs'</tt> directory exists to: |
| </p> |
| <ul class="toc"> |
| <li> Organize CentOS themes' artistic motifs. |

| <h3 class="subsection"> 3.22.2 Description </h3> |
| |
| <p>The artistic motif of theme is a graphic design component that |
| provides the visual style of themes, it is used as pattern to connect |
| all visual manifestations inside one unique theme. |
| </p> |
| <p>Artistic motifs are based on conceptual ideas. Conceptual ideas bring |
| the motivation, they are fuel for the engines of human imagination. |
| Good conceptual ideas may produce good motivation to produce almost |
| anything, and art works don't escape from it. |
| </p> |
| <dl compact="compact"> |
| <dt> <samp>`TreeFlower'</samp> </dt> |
| <dd><p>CentOS like trees, has roots, trunk, branches, leaves and flowers. Day |
| by day they work together in freedom, ruled by the laws of nature and |
| open standards, to show the beauty of its existence. |
| </p></dd> |
| <dt> <samp>`Modern'</samp> </dt> |
| <dd><p>Modern, squares and circles flowing up. |
| </p></dd> |
| </dl> |
| |
| <p>If you have new conceptual ideas for CentOS, then you can say that you |
| want to create a new artistic motif for CentOS. To create a new |
| artistic motif you need to create a directory under |
| <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> using a name coherent with your |
| conceptual idea. That name will be the name of your artistic motif. If |
| possible, when creating new conceptual ideas for CentOS, think about |
| what CentOS means for you, what does it makes you feel, take your |
| time, think deep, and share; you can improve the idea as time goes on. |
| </p> |
| <p>Once you have defined a name for your theme, you need to create the |
| motif structure of your theme. The motif structure is the basic |
| direcotry structure you'll use to work your ideas. Here is where you |
| organize your graphic design projects. |
| </p> |
| <p>To add a new motif structure to CentOS Artwork Repository, you need to |
| use the <code>centos-art</code> command line in the |
| <tt>`Identity/Themes/Motifs/'</tt> directory as described below: |
| </p> |
| <table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">centos-art add --motif=ThemeName |
| </pre></td></tr></table> |
| <p>The previous command will create the basic structure of themes for |
| you. The basic structure produced by <code>centos-art</code> command is |
| illustrated in the following figure: |
| </p> |
| <table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$ThemeName/ |
| |-- Backgrounds |
| | |-- Img |
| | `-- Tpl |
| |-- Info |
| | |-- Img |
| | `-- Tpl |
| |-- Palettes |
| `-- Screenshots |
| </pre></td></tr></table> |

| <h3 class="subsection"> 3.22.3 Usage </h3> |
| |
| <p>When designing artistic motifs for CentOS, consider the following |
| recommendations: |
| </p> |
| <ul class="toc"> |
| <li> Give a unique (case-sensitive) name to your Motif. This name is |
| used as value wherever theme variable (<b>$THEME</b>) or translation marker |
| (<b>=THEME=</b>) is. Optionally, you can add a description about |
| inspiration and concepts behind your work. |
| |
| </li><li> Use the location <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/'</tt> to |
| store your work. If it doesn't exist create it. Note that this require |
| you to have previous commit access in CentOS Artwork Repository. |
| |
| </li><li> The CentOS Project is using the blue color (<b>#204c8d</b>) as base |
| color for its corporate visual identity. Use such base corporate color |
| information as much as possible in your artistic motif designs. |
| |
| </li><li> Try to make your design fit one of the theme models. |
| |
| </li><li> Feel free to make your art enterprise-level and beautiful. |
| |
| </li><li> Add the following information on your artwork (both in a visible |
| design area and document metadata): |
| |
| <ul class="toc"> |
| <li> The name (or logo) of your artistic motif. |
| |
| </li><li> The copyright sentence: <b>Copyright (C) YEAR YOURNAME</b> |
| |
| </li><li> The license under which the work is released. All CentOS Art |
| works are released under |
