artnayso how can we as a team help with that? is any help wanted or needed?10:14
derek[] with what?10:14
artnaywhile I am happy to see those, they leave a lot of questions :o10:14
artnaywith the new icon set10:15
derek[] gnome?10:15
artnayhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperIcons10:15
artnayI don10:15
artnayt get why those arent under /Artwokr10:15
artnaywhat is that icon with the text file and a progress bar in front of it?10:17
artnaygood to see that universal signs (such as usb) are being used, not to mention text on cd media icons10:18
artnayI disliked the different colour approach, it doesnt tell enough10:19
artnayderek[] : what do you think of those?10:19
derek[] I agree that the use of the universal signs as the USB's is very good.10:20
artnaybut it is against some rules :o10:20
derek[] which?10:21
artnaywell maybe not that but at least all the "unnecessary" text is10:21
artnayHIG10:21
artnayand wiki states too that no text should be used if it is not needed10:21
artnaybut I for one say that it is much more better to have an extension than lots of different colours to differ each file types10:22
artnaypeople should not learn that ones mp3 player is not able to play "blue and yellow" audio files10:23
derek[] I would say that if they make the colour scheme a standard, then it can be helpful10:24
derek[] but if the colour scheme keeps changing in every release, it serves no purpose10:24
derek[] Who is developing this artwork by the way?10:26
artnaymy bet it is tigert10:31
artnayas mark said at LCA that the artist will come from scandinavia, and looking back at times...10:31
artnayif only the colour scheme would be identical at least in FOSS icons10:31
artnayfreedesktop.org ;o10:32
derek[] I don't know who/what is tigert, mark, LCA..10:32
artnaytigert did the old gnome icon theme, mark is sabdfl (the man behind canonical and freecd etc.) and LCA was a linux conference in ausrtalia (held in january)10:39
artnayI guess freedesktop.org doesn't have a word on MIME colours10:40
artnayplease prove me wrong10:41
