[Design-team] Summary of Today's Meeting!
Hi everybody!
APAC folks, we triaged up and thru ticket #478, so you'd want to start with #477 and
work your way down.
Here is the high-level summary of today's meeting:
Open Floor
=========
- We welcomed Kyle, Salvas, and Edilberto to the team.
- PSA: pingou upgraded us on pagure, we can now upload attachments to tickets that are
> 4 MB, enjoy :)
F25 Wallpaper - Gradient Banding
============================
- We talked about the F25 wallpaper update. The wallpaper had some gradient banding.
- We tried a lot of different techniques to address it, but the best approach was
replacing the background of layered transparent gradients with a single opaque radial
gradient. Another technique we didn't try was using a mesh gradient instead. We
don't know if mesh gradient will produce banding as the radial and linear gradients
do.
- The inkscape bug in question is : https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/180693
- There are a few elements that cause banding to be more prominent: (1) transparency in
gradients (2) multiple layered gradients with transparency (3) the closer two colors are
in a gradient, the more likely banding will happen.
- We would love if inkscape could be fixed to address the issue. Kyle suggested a
kickstarter-style fundraiser for fixing the issue as this has been a model that works with
Krita. mizmo will reach out to inkscape devs to see if this is something they'd be ok
with.
Misc Notes:
=========
- We need better documentation for using pantone in scribus templates on our wiki. I
embedded Fedora pantone swatches in the Fedora media art / disc label templates.
