Projects/Oxygen/Sound Theme Naming Specification
- NOTE - This section is under HEAVY development. Keep it as an orphaned page for the time being.
Overview
Sound is an important element used to communicate with users. It is important, then, that there be a unified and simplified way of organizing sounds.
Context
The contexts for a sound theme are (these are more or less placeholders as this schema is sorted out):
| Name | Description | Directory |
|---|---|---|
| System Events | Sounds which are generally used to notify the user of events relating to the system, ie: startup, warning dialogs, etc | system |
| User Interface Events | Sounds associated with the desktop environment, such as minimize, shade, or kicker events | ui |
| Misc. Application Events | Sounds associated with application events, such as a successful cd burn, which don't fit within other categories | application |
