artnaynot yet09:26
artnaybeen busy09:26
klepascool09:35
klepasi'm trying to get a job so i can get a laptop09:35
klepas:)09:35
artnayI'm trying to get this balloon idea to work... Replacing K menu with "a balloon" that is based on three elements (Navigation [Applications, Places, System] , Search, Actions)09:45
artnaywould like to get a working one with KDE/CSS styles :>09:46
artnayI mean, holy crap, Vista's Start menu takes 1/3 of the screen space. what a mess09:47
klepasyea.09:48
artnayK Menu is too crowded, too. so getting a plain menu with basic functions and some eye-candy would be really nice ;)09:48
klepassaw that screenshot you showed me yesterday09:48
klepasi'm fairly happy with the k menu09:48
artnayI'm still working on that09:48
klepasbut i suppose it should be customisable09:48
klepasto be simpler09:48
artnaydidn't have much time yesterday (well, I was able to check my mail) so nothing wasn't done :|09:49
artnayit should be wider09:49
artnayit takes the Windows approach09:49
klepasshould be wider!?09:49
artnayget everything into one menu and make it really high09:49
klepasheck no09:49
klepasi like smallness09:49
klepas:P09:49
artnayme too, that's why I'd like to K menu to utilize some horizontal space09:50
artnayadd "see"09:50
klepasno09:50
klepasewww09:50
klepassmall09:50
klepascut down the menus even more09:51
klepasinto things like "create/edit"09:51
artnayI have a few hours of spare-time today, tomorrow christmas parties and on the weekend I'm working09:51
klepas"communicate"09:51
klepasand so forth09:51
artnayklepas: that's one possibility although I like GNOME's approach09:51
artnaybut if you want to base that on verbs, why not09:51
artnayso I'm quite busy at the moment, too bad. we should update the wiki asap09:52
artnayhey btw, people have been asking about communityartwork09:52
klepashehe09:52
klepasyea, saw that09:52
klepasbut all the info is available in more applicable pages now09:53
klepasbtw09:53
artnayshould we just create the main artwork page?09:53
klepasGNOME 3 will probably move to use such verbs as well to simplify the menus09:53
klepasmain artwork page?09:53
artnay /Artwork09:53
klepasmmh09:53
klepasmaybe09:53
artnaythe one that contains all the links09:53
artnayso it would be easier to navigate09:54
klepaslet us fix up the current pages09:54
klepasbecause it is less work09:54
klepasall nice and cut down09:54
artnayGNOME 3? I saw jimmac's hacks09:54
klepasjimmac's hacks?09:54
klepaslinky plz :)09:54
artnayit had a few nice ideas, but I didn't like the "start menu" at all09:54
klepasbrb, got to feed the giant furballs :)09:54
artnayit wasn't that nice, it took the windows approach09:54
artnayone menu to master them all09:55
Tm_Tartnay: have you seen KDE4 mockups ?09:56
artnayTm_T: official ones?09:56
Tm_T"official" ones ;)09:56
artnaythey didn't differ that much, only using Qt 409:56
artnayso GUI is almost the same, right?09:56
Tm_Toh, you haven't seen aseigos ideas then09:56
artnayat kde-looks?09:56
Tm_Tnope09:56
Tm_Tcan't remember where I saw, but aseigo has good ideas about it09:57
artnayshow me the... KDE!09:57
artnaylike what?09:57
klepasprobably on kde-artists.org09:57
artnayjimmac's hacks: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gamehack/sets/1506658/09:57
artnaythat Applications menu is terrible09:58
artnaynothing personal :)09:58
Tm_Tartnay: well, now there's panel, there's desktop, there's menus... he's main idea is that they're not "separate" but works together making things just work better09:58
artnaynotification area / "systray" is based on a few simple colours, I like that09:59
artnaystolen from OS X and Apple stole it from... ;)09:59
artnayand Vista is taking the same approach, that wasn't a surprise09:59
artnayTm_T: I didn't get you, need some pics :)10:00
Tm_Tartnay: trying to find10:01
Tm_Tand even pics doesnt show the greatness of it10:01
artnayjimmac's hacks have this hotspot idea10:02
artnaynotice the icons on the upper corners?10:02
klepasyea10:02
klepaswhoa10:02
klepasif that is how gnome 3 is going to be...10:02
klepasthen i might change =P10:02
artnayklepas: you actually like that?10:02
Tm_Tartnay: I think here's something: http://kde-artists.org/main/forum/index.php?board=5.010:04
klepasthey aren't bad10:04
artnayI guess KDE 4 has many of those features, like that unified notification area10:04
klepasand i'm assuming of course i can customise them10:04
artnaycustomizing GNOME?10:05
klepasyea10:05
artnaythey want to provide sane defaults, customizing is 2nd priority (if it's even possible without hacks)10:06
Tm_Tartnay: aye10:07
klepasthat would be good10:07
klepasi hope kde 4 keeps the same in mind10:07
Tm_Twell, I hacked my Kicker clock =)10:07
artnayTm_T: ok, I only see threads containing ideas how things could be done10:08
klepasbecause personally having superkaramba and moving this and moving that would be crap10:08
artnayno pics10:08
klepasit uses system resources like nothing else and is not good for slower macines10:08
Tm_Tartnay: yu, I don't remember where I saw some really nice pics10:08
klepass/macines/machines10:08
Tm_Tklepas: *karamba... never liked it =)10:08
artnayklepas: some widgets do, but superkaramba by itself?10:09
klepasnot by itself10:10
klepasbut if KDE 4 will be anything like the devs with powerful machines want it to be at default then it is going to suck at first10:11
klepasit needs to be fast enough to run well10:11
artnayso maybe optimizing the code of widget would be the place to start10:11
klepaseven on an 800 Mhz machine10:11
artnaywhen will KDE 4 be out? more than a year, right?10:12
Tm_Tartnay: atleast a year10:12
artnayso there's plenty of time before KDE 4 or GNOME 3 will be released10:13
klepasreally?>10:13
klepasisn't it 6 months release cycle?10:13
klepasor did they make an exception?10:13
artnayfor minor changes10:13
artnaythere's no schedule for major changes10:13
artnayalthough I saw one project which was delayed for like 3 or 4 months10:14
artnayit had a schedule10:14
artnayplasma.10:14
klepasmmh10:15
klepasstrange10:15
klepasjust curious10:15
artnayFirst uploads of the API documentation to this website will likely occur in September 2005 given the current roadmap. 10:15
klepasif you guys open a new tab in konqueror10:15
artnayso they're behind the schedule10:15
klepasand then begin typing in a few characters into the url bar10:16
klepasdoes it lag a second or two to make the scroll down thing appear?10:16
klepasbecause that has begun to annoy me10:16
klepas=\10:16
artnayI guess it does, I'm using XP right now :(10:17
