Desktop Concept for Lubuntu/LXDE

Post by Mayrinck »

Hello guys! Don't know if this is the best place for this but, I will post here anyway, please tell me if is wrong or something.

I made a design concept for the Lubuntu using InkScape (so all you see here are only images but maybe there's a way to make all this come true), I made this focusing on a cleaner, useful, but nice design... I've used breeze icon theme and some minimalist design works as the references for this.

The desktop (background, could be any):

Desktop with some programs running:

This one has the volume control and menu opened, with a new concept of both as well.

PS: Some of the icons are a bit strange, I will make some others later...

This is still a WIP (Work in Progress), I will update here as soon as I make/change things. Hope you like it!

Coming along nicely; a bold but minimalistic theme. I sure do like that volume indicator - I want that one!. :)

This is just a concept, I am improving things for it. I am currently working on the Menu.
And about the volume control over there, even I want that on Lubuntu :lol:

Exciting to see it coming along so nicely,Mayrinck; its looks about ready for Prime-Time! You will need to quit tempting us with that volume indicator, though - and make it available to everyone, finally... :mrgreen:

^ rtl88, Mayrinck didn't actually code anything, this is a so-called "design concept".
but you knew that, didn't you?

I'll never tell... :ugeek:

But, one thing I can tell you is - if you throw enough of it against the wall, some of it will indeed stick. :lol:

If there's any programmers that could help with this project, I think it's possible to make this something usable, not just an idea... :D

ps: I am trying to create a navigable concept of all this on codepen, using HTML, CSS and JS, you can check it here: https://codepen.io/mayrinck/project/full/ArBWWQ/
