What I do for a Living :)

-
Some times people ask me what I do.
My answer is .... well I'm a Civil Engineer. I do bridges an stuff like that mostly scaffolding.
But in reality I'm more of a Resources Manager.
But as i spend so much time in front of a computer making artwork I must call myself an Artist or Designer.
So hi from a Civil Engineer/Resources Manager/Artist/Designer. :)

You would not believe the places were I have drawn icons :)

Hey that's cool! Sometimes it's hard to imagine a person behind a web nickname. Anyway seeing you work in such a different career to icon/graphics design makes your contribution all the more meaningful. I'd just like to say thanks for all the hard work you put into making my desktop look great.

By the way, this is also probably the best looking blog I have seen :D

wow nuno, you have pretty much the job I dreamed of growing up. I was more for the architectural engineering but was greatly interested in bridge structures. That is to cool!

I wish I did, but no I dont. Civil Engineers in Portugal don't make alot of money.
The time is the thing I twist the most :)
Honest opinion I think im a beter artist than a Civil Engineer (speciy doing mostly managementn ot actual engeniering), secondly I love KDE.

Design done...

Hello again, so I believe I am 90% done with the base style direction and main UI components for O², and am currently struggling with my not so bright idea of dinamic QML colour pallets.  Still overall I'm happy with the general visual direction of the UI style, it's IMO clearly derivative of Oxygen but today.  Now having done 90% of the design and doing the serious work I know that the solemn work that will take far far more time is upon me and us..  So in the next week's I will be mostly focussing on the qml implementation that as already started and implementing a kinda Oxygen-demo UI showcase. After that I have to do something even more difficult... That is to find a a icon style that does the same that the UI style above did.. bring to today oxygen of yesterday. And fix any of its issues...

The air we see...

Today the great Marco Committed air into svn. Let me just tell you a bit about air, air is a direct descendant of the air wallpaper, I made the first sketch of it the same day I made the wallpaper, and it tries to make the people that found the Oxygen theme "to black" happy. There is no one fits all design, and hopefully with air we can make a wider spectrum of people love KDE. ( in the future I think we can still make a couple more themes) Its still we hope coherent, there are a lot of small details that are shared with oxygen both qt theme as plasma theme. That gives it a feeling of belonging as part of the same experience. We introduced a brand new element in plasma theming, a cropped background the is placed on the plasmoid canvas, (you will see this in the future taken to new heights as it opens a fantasist new set of opportunities to designers). Its transparent, people love transparent stuff :) (we did some effort to avoid contrast issues, but with certain wallp

Yeah do you want to help us create O². Most of the design concepts are done, but my C++ QtStyle foomagic is lower than zero ;) so muhhhh heee... do you want to help? Janet extraordinaire yesterday helped a bit and adjusted the old Oxygen painting to do a preliminary implementation of the noise O² needs for its background, but that is only the very beginning of what is needed. Also if you have experience in kirigami/plasma, styling. Designers are welcome as well...   If you do...... Just made this https://t.me/OxygenSquared for chatty chatty things.
