artnayUsplash: Improvements coming, consider 24-bit picture and 16 colour fallback picture, GDM Theme: ??, GNOME Splash: this shouldn't be neede anymore as GNOME 2.14 tries to minimize the loading time to "none", still fallback should be provided, backgrounds: create/choose nice set of backgrounds and GDM theme to fit with bg, Font: Consider font change?, Iconset: Humility under development, probably a name change coming with new icons. Think about Tango, 04:24

Dantenhi05:43
artnayI'm just gathering a todo list for artwork team, wanna help?05:43
artnayhere's the current one: http://users.evtek.fi/~jirig/artwork-todo05:44
Dantenhmm not really sure, Im not part of the team actually05:44
artnayI thought I would make it more complete before posting it to lists05:44
artnayme neither05:44
artnay:)05:44
Danten:)05:44
artnaybut we can still help05:44
Dantenoki05:44
artnaythere's ~nothing happening so everyone's input is more than welcome05:45
artnaytell me if you have things to add05:45
Dantenwell I'm not really sure what I can do but :)05:45
artnaysame thing05:46
DantenI can't find anything particular to add, the only thing that's needed at the moment is structure so we can assign people to things05:47
DantenWhich is rather sad as Ubuntu has got al lot of buzz of its artwork (brownish) :)05:49
DantenBut your plan was to update the wiki?05:52
artnayno05:52
Dantenno?05:53
=== bachler [i=rakahang@62.101.48.8] has joined #ubuntu-artwork
artnaymy plan is to make that list as complete as I can (maybe with help of others), then post it to mailing list05:53
artnaythen we should clean the wiki page05:53
artnayadd all those topics there, links to subcategories05:53
Dantenahh, then I understand05:53
Dantenwell, I start scanning the forums for stuff05:54
artnaythat's why I'm asking for help in here :)05:54
artnaybachler: hey05:54
bachlerhey05:54
artnaybachler: do you want to help?05:54
bachleryeah, if i can05:55
artnayok, take a look at this http://users.evtek.fi/~jirig/artwork-todo and tell what to add/modify05:55
bachlerkk05:55
artnayI've heard there's a program for GNOME that fetces stuff from art.gnome.org05:56
artnaydo you happen to know the name?05:56
artnayI'm not a GNOME person :o05:57
bachlerhttp://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=88905:58
bachler?05:58
bachleris that what your thinking about?05:58
artnayyeah, I guess that's it05:59
bachlerok..05:59
artnaythanks06:00
artnaydo you have any exprience with it?06:00
artnayohhh, what a day for typos06:00
Dantenhmm me thinking, what about that each version of Ubuntu has it's own personal logo that get used in wallpapers, splashes, screensavers etc.06:00
artnayDanten: that's being thought at the mailing list06:01
bachlerabout the artwork-todo, really good work there, putting it all together.. but its kind of hard for me to think of anything more to add right now..06:01
artnaywait a sec06:01
Dantenso then that could be a goal06:01
artnayso could GNOME Art be forked to fetch stuff from both art.gnome and art.ubuntu?06:01
artnayit's GPL and there's plenty of time left06:02
bachleri guess so, yeah..06:02
bachlerbtw, the link for the mousetheme.. it doesnt work for me06:02
artnayoh06:02
artnayI'll check it out06:02
bachlerhttp://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=1950606:02
bachlernice06:02
artnaybachler: oh, I thought the link isn't working. so is the theme working?06:03
artnayif it would be an ideal world, that todo wouldn't be needed. all that information should be easily available at wiki 06:04
bachlerwhen i come to think about it, it would be quite cool if the gnome art program could be froked to fetch stuff for ubuntu, but i really think that the original functionallaty to get themes from art.gnome.org is good to keep..06:04
artnaynow it's a mess, outdated mess06:04
artnaybachler: sure, but they share the same code06:05
artnayand what about dupes?06:05
artnaywell, that needs people to develop it06:05
bachlerartnay: i cant get the link to work, so i cant get the mouse theme, so i havent tested it06:05
artnaylet's just try to sum it all up06:05
artnayit works for me, odd.06:06
artnayare you able to connect www.gnome-look.org ?06:06
bachleryeah.. where are u? im in sweden using loopia as dns.. mabye its the thing.. whats the ip of gnome-look?06:07
artnay80.190.240.90, finland06:07
bachleroh.. that works06:07
bachlerstrange..06:07
artnayit traces through telia to gnome-look.org06:08
bachlerwell, anyway.. im no ruby guru.. but im sure that someone could fix the gnome art program to fetch art from art.ubuntu06:08
artnaybachler: yeah, I'm pretty positive on that, too.06:09
bachlerhmmm, do you have the name of the mouse theme06:09
artnayPinux's Tux Cursors Theme  06:09
bachlerok.. ill check that out06:10
bachlerim kind of busy at the moment.. schoolwork.. 06:10
artnayme too, I'm at work. trying to do all these things simultaneously06:10
bachlerbut, regarding the artwork-todo. nice job.. but as i said, i cant really come to think of anything to be added right now.. ill give you a shout if i do06:11
artnayGAIM theme?06:12
artnaygnome-terminal theme?06:12
artnayfirefox/thunderbird theme?06:12
bachlerill check with some friends at school too06:12
artnayit should fit with the default look06:12
bachleryeah, a gaim theme would be nice06:12
bachleradd it, i say! :-D06:12
artnaythat's one of the reasons why people want to change fx to epiphany06:12
bachlerfx= firefox?06:13
bachleroh,, yeah..06:13
bachlermabye a firefox/thunderbird theme would be nice too06:13
bachleranymore...06:13
bachlerxmms?06:13
bachlerbmp06:14
Dantendosen't it exist an ubuntu theme for bmp?06:14
bachleryeah, but i dont think its installabel throug apt06:14
Dantenaa06:15
artnayok, added irssi as well06:15
bachleri always (after a fresh install) need to go to like, gnome-look or something to get a nice xmms/bmp skin06:16
bachlerxchat colors?06:16
artnayhttp://ubuntuforums.org/gallery/showimage.php?i=137406:16
bachleri personally use xchat06:16
artnaywell I use "ubuntued" theme on irssi ;)06:16
artnayI'll add X-Chat as well06:16
bachlerthats a nice irssi color theme.. maby "port" it to xchat?06:17
Dantenand then maybe gnome-terminal too06:18
bachleryeah.. but how doest that work with ls --color?06:18
artnayadded06:18
Dantenhave no clue :)06:18
bachlerhehe,.. i could try to get some work done with this this weekend06:19
artnayit's nice to have ideas but there's always a danger that too much of brown here and there makes people to hate it06:19
artnaythat's the danger to change the default themes of programs06:19
artnaybut it's an idea, and we're looking for those, right?06:20
Dantenyepp :)06:20
artnayI have to clean that list later today06:20
bachleri dont really think that there sould be a change to the default theme, just added themes..06:20
artnayif you have links to themes you're talking about, please paste06:21
artnaybachler: yeah, maybe we should at least provide an easy way to unify the look of desktop06:21
artnayapt-get install foobar06:21
bachleryeah, thats kind of what i was looking for i think06:22
artnaydapper also needs metapackages for complete themes06:22
bachlerlike ubuntu-artwork06:22
artnaymmm, sort of06:22
bachlerwell im no xpert on the apt stuff...06:22
artnayit would be to nice to get KDE brownish only with one command :>06:23
bachleryeah06:23
bachlerhmm, i think i need to do some other stuff now.. but. keep up the good work06:24
bachlerand cya06:24
Dantencya06:25
Dantena question:06:25
DantenSHAPES, Deadline ??, Members ??:06:25
Danten- ??06:25
Dantenwhats that?06:25
artnaywhat shapes should be used in metacity decorations, on background, GDM theme etc.06:25
Dantena06:26
artnayrounded?06:26
artnaydo we want something like this: http://art.ubuntu.com/backgrounds/ubuntu/6406:26
artnaybachler: bye and welcome back ;)06:26
Dantenso practically shapes and colour is the common direction for artist to go06:28
artnaythere are some rules already06:28
artnaylike palettes to use etc.06:28
DantenSo this goal is like "extended rules for Dapper"?06:29
Dantenand then we have a new goal for dapper+106:29
artnayI guess the rules at wiki are still for Breezy06:30
artnaythe whole wiki is Breezy-oriented06:31
artnayit's outdated06:31
artnaybut I guess the same rules apply to Dapper06:31
Dantenoki06:31
Dantenhmm thinking again :) how easy is it for an artist to start working on a new installed ubuntu machin? like does he has all programs needed or are they easy to get through apt? (as you can see I have no clue) :)06:33
artnaywhat kind of graphics?06:34
artnayvector, pixel, 3d?06:34
artnaygimp is there by default (for pixel graphics)06:34
artnayinkscape is available from repos (vectors)06:35
artnayand then there's maya3d etc. for 3d06:35
artnayI'm not familiar with 3d programs06:35
Dantenwell, I thought all kinds of artist (including audio) and that maybe we should make it easy to know which applications to get, maybe with ubuntu art or so06:36
artnaywell I haven't found a suitable audio editing program yet06:37
artnaybut you can run some windows stuff using wine06:37
Danten;P06:37
artnayit's a shame, I know06:37
bachleraudacity06:38
bachleri use it when i make sampels for tracking music06:38
artnaythat might work for some people06:38
DantenThen maybe that could be a goal to collect a list of good applications that can be recomendated06:38
artnayDanten: I don't think that's artwork team's job, talk to documentation team06:39
Dantenhmm maybe06:39
artnaythey might give some recommendations at help.ubuntu.com or system -> help06:39
artnayor then ubuntuforums should be bookmarked by default ;)06:40
artnay"umh, what's this"06:40
Dantenhehe ^^06:40
artnayI'm out of ideas now. It's been a long day and I've nearly finished my work (that's a miracle if you think about what I've been doing here)06:44
Dantengood :) (not that you are out of ideas but I think you got that ;) )06:45
artnayand that's it, I'm off. later guys!06:49
Dantenlater06:49
