Hi,
Just in case you didn't receive my message on irc, I'm pasting it here:
Some suggestions:
1. center aligning the heading while left aligning the logo feels unbalanced.
put the logo under/over the heading.
2. the gloss on the map is only in the center -- unnatural. it should span the
whole width (not with tiling, of course).
3. the gloss fades upwards, which implies the lightsource is beneath the
viewer's altitude. but the user is sitting on a chair, so that's not really a
good assumption. make it fade downwards.
4. The border of the map is high-saturated dark blue, which looks really 1995
on a similarly blue background. Try something low-saturated or grayscale,
like translucent black or lightgrey (have a look at the current plasma
applets for a good starting point).
5. The map is too plain, add a subtle pattern there -- maybe fading scanlines
for the foreground.
6. the "conquer your desktop" feels too disconnected from the "Konqueror" -
try without the rounded background, instead separating it with something
line-ish
7. move the big wave thing down a bit
8. the map is restricted to the center too. you could scale it up a lot, then
crop it to fit the box. Will leave out greenland and australia but oh well :)
Cheers,
Stefan.
