As long as it's FWS, then it's a good idea I think.

What totally white so they can't see it! Hidden LO's - discovery learning....? ;-)

Actually I think what we need is an optional property on the learning object like we have for the bootstrap template to add styles directly in the LO which then apply throughout. At the moment doing this on a page give flexibility to only affect that page and uploading a custom stylesheet is overkills when a small change is required. Likewise the optional property could allow additional javascript to be written for the whole LO rather than individual pages.

So as an example the Flat Blue theme is easily changed to what you decsibe Inge with a tiny bit of css - see page 7 http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xot/play_168#resume=7

You can also change the shape e.g. http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xot/play_168?&display=600,800#resume=7

Will add this to Trello for further discussion.

Me too!! The themes I mean :)
Was wondering of we can create a totally white theme for users that want to embed it in their learning environment without borders. What do you think?

Fine by me - it was only a comment about the academic reference can see pros and cons as has been discussed.

Just added a note about the theme developments in Trello including a link to a test and example which includes a test of an svg version of one of the logo's we've been discussing on the last page

I'm happy with that too: I think the apereo logo in the spanner will

lose detail at smaller sizes. I did wonder whether the text could be

outlined, I'll maybe try some stuff.

Hi,

I agree with Inge, I prefer the 3rd one... less fussy and apereo might

be academic focussed but xerte has a mix of adopters...

Hi,

For me and Katrien me I think it will be a barrier because our target

groups are very different from academic.My preference is that we

choose the last two. I also like the last two visually more that the

first one. If I have to choose one then my preference is the third one

because it's more 'calmer'.

Don't know if that's the right word :)

Inge

It might be their tag but I quite like the re-enforcement of a focus

on academia. A lot of our users won't no the name Apereo.

I've played about with some variations in Inkscape. Will reply again

with the inkscape file attached in case that doesn't get through but

here's a screenshot...

I like bothbut I think the 'Serving the academic mission' looks a bit

cramped in the second version. What does that look like written under

both

versions?

e.g.

Version one reads

Xerte

an apereo community project

Serving the academic mission

and version 2 reads

Apereo

Xerte

Serving the academic mission

This is an alternative approach: it's a bit easier to cope with

because we can use a font for the apereo text (Myriad), rather than

work off the graphics files Ian sent through.

[cid:part14.03000001.05020408 at 12change.eu]

Thoughts?

We really need to develop a number of icons / logos for different

sizes, and I don't see why we shouldn't be able to use both approaches

really...
