Get button for Templates?

[Alan C. Baird]

Is there a Get button for the
Templates site:

  http://templates.services.openoffice.org/

like the one that exists for the Extensions site:

  http://extensions.openoffice.org/

?

Many thanks!

I'm sorry, but as far as I know the Art Project has not been involved in
the creation of this button
http://extensions.openoffice.org/OOoEx_Banner_60x234_02.png

Looking at the repository I found out that it has been uploaded by tbo
(Thorsten Bosbach) nearly two years ago.

I CC'd him  - perhaps he still knows about the creator (Stella?) and
might provide a editable source so we don't need to create a template
Get button from the scratch...

Best regards

Bernhard

Beside the old buttons at:

there are also new ones:

And for the template site there exists:

(Somehow i missed to link it somewhere/announce it :-()

If you need something else, you should ask Stella.

cheers

Hi Thorsten and Bernhard-

These buttons are great! Users might be able to find them, if links to these pages were installed on the Extensions and Templates sites.

I especially like the smaller versions of the Extensions buttons. It would be nice to have smaller Templates buttons, too. Finally, it might be helpful to change these wordings, to sound less strange to American ears:

Promo Banner – Drats = Promo Banner – Drafts
Feel free and have a look = Feel free to have a look
Just new! = New!

Thanks for all your help-
Alan

I found it in the moderation queue (wrong mail address, I suggest) and
rejected it because you resent it ...

Alternative 2 repeats the visual design of the repository website very
closely, but I like all of them!

Thanks a lot, these images look great!

 From my POV I'd recommend draft #2 as the one to be used for
representing the template repository:
http://ui.openoffice.org/VisualDesign/gifs/Images/OOoTemplates_Banner02.gif

It contains the OOo logo and repeats the graphical language of the website.

Best regards and thanks again

Bernhard

PS: I'm going to link to them from the artwork galleries (for the moment
from the additional galleries only, as I didn't reactivate my CVS access
by now):

This might be a good idea - I'll forward your mail to the dedicated
mailing lists.
 From our (the Art project's) POV they should be integrated in the
artwork galleries at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Art/Gallery

If nobody else has the time to integrate them, I'll do it during the
next days.

Smaller web buttons are easier to place on a website - but the larger
are more similar to the present website design. When we try to
coordinate the branding and visual design throughout the project and the
OOo product during the next months, we might be able to find a way to
use the main branding elements even on small web buttons.

That's just a typo ;-)

I think it has been named this way to give a different impression:

Feel free - free from the proprietary bindings of MS, free as in free speech

and

have a look.

So it's more than just "feel free to have a look".

As the template site is working already for some months, I'd leave this
at all...

Best regards

Bernhard
