klepaschance we could pool what people have been working together?02:11
klepasinto a sort of giant collection02:11
klepasand then mark and whoever else can have a look at what was produced02:11
andreasnhello klepas02:12
klepashey andreasn 02:12
klepashow's it going?02:12
andreasnjust fine. Working on tangofication of thunderbird for the moment02:13
klepascool02:13
klepasworking on a sort of GDM02:13
andreasncool02:13
andreasntango-ubuntu-ish?02:13
klepasyea02:23
klepasandreasn: i need some tango wallpapers02:23
klepasSVG02:23
andreasnsure02:23
klepasi can only find the JPEGs and PNGs02:23
klepaschance you could point me to some?02:24
klepasthese would go into an official universe tango package02:24
andreasnI see02:24
andreasnwouldn't it be cooler to put ubuntu-branding on these instead?02:24
andreasnI just did the wallpaper for fun02:25
klepasnah02:25
klepasthis is as a complete tango package for ubuntu02:25
klepasdoesn't have to follow any ubuntu branding02:25
klepascolour schemas, etc.02:26
klepasjust a complete tango package to go into the repositories02:26
klepasincluding metacity, gdm, splash, wallpapers, icon set, etc..02:26
andreasnwhat would the target group of that package be?02:26
klepasanyone who wants to completely tango-ify their desktop02:27
andreasnI see02:27
klepasmark wants these sort of themed-packages02:27
klepasi figured one of them ought to be Tango02:27
andreasnyeah02:27
andreasnthe ones I want to be aware of tango is developers02:28
klepasso02:28
andreasnnot end-users02:28
klepasyea, same02:28
andreasnbut, well, anyway02:28
klepasbut mark would like these packages02:28
klepascan work on that later02:28
andreasnI'll see if I can locate the wallpaper02:28
klepasso, got some SVG splashes or wallpapers?02:29
klepascheers mate :)02:29
andreasnit seems the link on art.gnome.org is broken02:29
andreasnthere is a tango-splash on kde-look that I made that perhaps is reusable02:29
andreasnI might have the svg around02:30
andreasnhttp://ramnet.se/~nisse/diverse/temp/tango/tango-desktop-1024.svg02:32
andreasnhttp://ramnet.se/~nisse/diverse/temp/tango/splash-top.svg02:32
klepasyes02:33
klepasthanks mate02:33
andreasnhowever, I don't want to make the impression that tango is the road to all branding, be sure to point that out to mark02:33
klepasi was up till 4 am this morning trying to find this02:33
andreasnroad to the end of all branding in distros I mean02:33
klepasyea02:34
klepasi agree with you guys02:34
andreasngreat!02:34
klepasbut sadly we don't have much of a say in this02:34
andreasnI know02:34
klepasso for now02:34
klepasa bunch of themed packages02:34
andreasnputting it in extras is a good start02:34
klepasone of which will make it into mainstream perhaps02:34
klepasif it is good enough02:34
klepaswill have to be the start02:35
klepasand i think Tango ought to be that extra package02:35
klepasand if not, it would make it into universe02:35
klepasand i'll maintain it02:35
andreasnit would also be nice to customize some of the icons in tango to fit better with the brown desktop background02:35
andreasnorange folders and stuff like that02:35
andreasnas blue goes horribly bad together with brown02:36
andreasnhave you got the tango-firefox theme already?02:36
andreasnhttps://addons.mozilla.org/themes/moreinfo.php?id=1565&application=firefox02:36
klepasyea02:37
klepasgot it02:37
andreasngreat02:37
klepasnah, don't need to customise the icons02:37
klepasbecause the package will include tango wallpapers :)02:37
klepaseverything tango02:37
andreasnok02:37
andreasnhopefully the tb-theme will be working good soon aswell02:38
klepasyou're working on that now?02:38
andreasnyep02:38
andreasnsome of the theming-stuff is rather horrible02:39
klepas:)02:39
klepasthanks dude02:39
andreasnhidden in some random file deep-deep-down... :(02:39
andreasn:)02:39
klepasthis GDM ought to be kick ass02:41
andreasnnice02:41
andreasnwould you like to have a sample of the tb-theme?02:42
andreasnmight help me find some bugs02:42
klepasyea02:50
klepassure02:50
klepasandreasn: you wouldn't know how to test out gdm themes using xnest?02:51
andreasnI have no idea actually :(02:51
klepasno worries02:52
andreasnhttp://ramnet.se/~nisse/diverse/temp/tango/thunderbird.jar02:52
klepasi'll figure it out02:52
klepasmy version of thunderbird must be outdated02:58
klepasicons won't work with it02:59
andreasnyou need 1.5 to run it02:59
klepasnot in universe02:59
klepasmh02:59
klepasmight have to get it from source03:00
klepashow did you get it?03:00
andreasnit is in dapper universe03:01
andreasnI think03:01
klepasah, okay03:02
klepasi was considering upgrading to dapper03:02
klepasis it stable enough?03:03
andreasnit works ok for me03:03
andreasnbut I was mostly upgrading because I needed thunderbird 1.503:04
andreasnto theme it and stuff03:04
andreasnand dapper also include f-spot with the new tango icons jakub drew03:04
klepasnice03:06
andreasnfresher icons for banshee and other stuff aswell03:08
andreasnand a working version of hplip as I'm drawing icons for that app aswell03:08
andreasnso I guess you could say that my reason for upgrading to dapper was icons ;)03:09
klepasyay03:14
klepasgot gdm testing working03:14
klepasandreasn: fair reason if you're an artist :)03:14
andreasnheh, yeah03:16
klepascurse poor SVG gradient support in GDM!03:22
andreasnlibrsvg?03:23
klepasis that the package that controls SVG rendering?03:23
andreasnit is in most other gnome apps03:29
andreasnand it must be in gdm aswell, but I'm not sure03:29
klepasandreasn: this GDM theme is soon done :)04:01
klepasandreasn: do you know where i can find the SVG to that other dark blue-ish Tango wallpaper with the massive folder in it?04:09
klepasandreasn: done!04:27
klepasandreasn: i just need a decent background04:31
klepasanyone awake?04:53

klepasandreasn: you've seen it?10:46
klepas[http://wombat.nuxified.com/tmpfiles/tango-renewed-screenshot.jpg] 10:46
omegThat is very nice.10:48
omegI do, however, suggest that the contrast of the Tango! title is changed.10:49
omegIt's currently white on light grey (except for the shadow).10:49
klepasomeg: yea10:49
omegThe small text in that image is also really small. I personally would make it a little larger.10:49
omegMaybe that would help the hinting, too.10:49
klepasgood point10:50
omegDid you make that, by the way?10:50
klepasi fear though with the 'tango!' logo that changing it to black will make it stand out way too much10:50
klepasyea10:50
klepasartwork sprint after all :)10:50
klepasbefore i hit the sacks tonight i want to get another one done10:51
omegWell, it's nice. :) And I'm glad that not _everything_ is made to be brown. I mean, sure, brown is Ubuntu's color, but I think that it's usually a little overused.10:51
klepasthis was for the Tango package10:51
omegI would have a look at finding a solution to that Tango! logo for you, but you probably made it in GIMP, right?10:51
klepasbecause the other GDM wasn't to my liking10:51
klepasno10:51
omegPhotoshop?10:51
klepaseverything you see in the screenshot is either XML or SVG10:52
klepasInkscape10:52
klepaseverything10:52
omegAh, then I could open it in Illustrator, maybe...10:52
klepaswhich dramatically reduces the total package size10:52
omegIf you want me to, that is.10:52
klepasyea, sure10:52
klepasone moment10:52
klepasi'll upload it10:52
omegCool :)10:52
klepasi wanted this to be entirely SVG also so that people won't have to worry about having this or that of a good size for their monitors10:53
omegI'm encoding video at the moment. Illustrator sure is taking a long time to start...10:53
omegYeah, good call. I wonder when X's interface will be fully in Vector.10:54
omegVista and Mac OS X 10.5 are going to be entirely in vector, right? Can't have X stay behind :P10:54
klepaseven highlighting from the dulled icons to the full colour ones as mouseover is vector :)10:54
klepasVista is i think10:54
klepasthough whether it will be as complete as their predecessor icon sets... is another question10:55
andreasnklepas: how much stuff will this package include10:55
omegI still sometimes see Win95 icons in XP.10:55
klepasno point releasing a Windows Vista icon set that is scalable when there are so many other gif ones10:55
klepasomeg: yea, precisely10:55
andreasnwill it also ship tangofied icons to apps like kopete and konqueror?10:55
klepasandreasn: a full list will include:10:55
klepas...10:55
klepasyes10:56
klepasi hope10:56
klepasit will take a while10:56
omegWhat do you think about the icons that showed up on the mailing list?10:56
klepaswhich is why it will be a package in universe at the minimum10:56
klepaspretty good10:56
omegThe ones that Mark presented? I think that it's too bad that apparently _everything_ needs to have a color brown in it, or else it's "not Ubuntu enough".10:56
klepasandreasn: full list (hoep I'm not missing anything, and this is for Ubuntu, so GNOME for now): GDM, Metacity, GTK (if one is made and acceptable), splash screen, the icon set, wallpapers and app icons10:57
klepasomeg: ah well10:57
andreasnklepas: and ff and tb10:57
klepasah, yes10:57
klepasand Gaim emotes10:57
omegI liked the Gnome v2 icons. I guess that I'll be able to revert the Ubuntu 6.04 icons to Gnome v2 pretty easily, though.10:57
klepasand for the Kubuntu one, will have kopete emotes10:58
klepasactually10:58
klepasi had a look at the gaim emotes todayu10:58
klepasthere were some errors in the package10:58
klepasthough i cannot remember who did them10:58
andreasnI think the icons mark presented is nice, needs to follow the tango guidelines a bit better though to blend in with stuff upstream10:58
klepasyep10:59
omegThere's one thing that I don't like about the Tango set.10:59
klepasand would do better if it were given to the community as accessable SVGs10:59
omegAnd it's the folder icon. Which is too bad, since it's the single most important icon.10:59
andreasnomeg: the color?10:59
klepasomeg: change it10:59
omegI've been working on making a replacement but I doubt they'll ever accept it.10:59
klepasor propose another10:59
klepas:)10:59
omegYeah, I'm working on it :)10:59
klepashehe10:59
andreasnomeg: can I see?10:59
klepasi don't like the home icon10:59
omegI've been making it at work, so I'm not sure if I have it here. But I want to change what I have around anyway. Let me see if I have it.11:00
klepasomeg: http://wombat.nuxified.com/tmpfiles/tango-renewed-gdm.tar.gz11:00
omegAh yeah, I have it. Making a PNG...11:01
klepaschance someone would be able to provide some temporary websapce?11:01
klepasto just upload all the art done this weekend?11:01
klepasjust temp11:01
andreasnklepas: sure11:01
klepasless than 8 MB11:01
klepasi would presume11:01
klepasbut bandwidth... not sure11:01
klepasdepends on how popular it gets11:01
klepasandreasn: that would be kick ass11:02
omeghttp://www.whahay.net/pubaccess/__folder_wip.png11:02
omegRight now, the problem is that it's made for a high size. It kind of falls very flat when seen in that size, especially due to the very narrow lines.11:02
klepasdoesn't follow Tango guidelines much though11:03
omegIt needs much more clear and big lines to adhere to Tango specifications.11:03
klepasso somewhat inconsistent11:03
omegYeah. To be honest, I didn't make this for Tango. I made it for a CMS that a programmer is creating at work. But I've been meaning to use this as base for a Tango icon.11:03
klepasah  cool11:04
klepasomeg: did you get the tarball?11:04
andreasnomeg: the biggest reason we don't want to change the folder in the base-set right now is that there are too many places we need to change it in11:04
klepasi didn't check whether it uploaded rihgt11:04
klepasandreasn: and a lot of other people use it already11:04
klepassuch as subTango11:04
omegI got it, klepas.11:04
klepas:)11:04
andreasnomeg: like folder-new, home-folder, folder-remote etc. in all three sizes11:04
omegThat would be less than a day's work if you have a new folder base.11:05
klepassomewhat of a problem though for the modules on the net that have begun to use Tango11:05
klepashttp://gnomedev.com/11:06
klepaslike Daniel's and my phpbb theme11:06
omegI don't think that's a valid reason to not substitute one icon for a better one.11:06
omegAfterall, nobody's ever said that Tango is done yet.11:06
klepastrue11:07
klepassuppose we're just reluctant to change11:07
omegI don't think Illustrator can open this, klepas. :(11:07
klepasthe SVGs?11:07
omegIt can open them, but it doesn't support some SVG things.11:07
andreasnomeg: well, if you want to fix it in all icons in all sizes, feel free to send it to the tango-artists list11:07
omegSuch as transparency in gradients.11:07
omegI think I'll do that when I have some more spare time. It seems interesting enough to try.11:08
andreasnomeg: what do you feel is better in this icon than the one currently in tango?11:08
omegI need to stop spending so much time on pixel art: http://www.whahay.net/pubaccess/__atree.gif11:08
klepasomeg: at work on a windows box, eh? :)11:08
klepaslol11:09
omegandreasn: I don't think my icon is better than the one in Tango yet. Tango's icon is actually pretty good, but the background's dark grey doesn't appeal to me, nor does the frontside part of the folder. It's down too low in both the closed and open states, I'd say.11:10
omegActually, I'm at home right now. I dual boot Windows and Ubuntu (but do a lot of work on Mac OS 9.2.2), and at work I use Mac OS X 10.4. I don't use Ubuntu for art stuff since I've always used Adobe products, and I don't like the open source alternatives enough to switch to them.11:10
omegI'm not an experienced icon maker, though. I might not ever be pleased with my folder icon alternative, so I wouldn't expect too much of me just yet. :P11:12
andreasnomeg: well, it's worth a try11:13
omegBy the way, do you guys know of a good place where I can download open source Mac OS 9.2.2 software? Seems that the OS9 scene is completely and wholly dead :)11:13
omegThe latest browser to run on it is an outdated Mozilla.11:14
omegWell, except iCab, which is actively making OS9 ports, but nobody cares about iCab.11:14
andreasnomeg: haven't heard of any free software for os9, most stuff seems to be shareware11:14
omegYeah, that's correct. I wonder why.11:15
andreasnold platform?11:15
andreasnomeg: anyway, about the folders...right now we focus on getting apps tangofied and the base-set to be complete11:16
omegI guess that when OS9 was still being used actively, open source development hadn't taken off that largely yet. I don't really know when it did, to be honest.11:16
andreasnand that is why the thread on the tango-artists-list about colors on folders never got anywhere, hope it don't give the impression that we don't listen to peoples feedback11:16
omegAh, you're a Tango dev? I should say that Tango's stuff is pretty amazing. :) I only have small problems with some of the icons, but nothing serious. It seriously is great work.11:17
omegI guess that Ubuntu will also use Tango in the future. I hope that it will, anyway.11:18
andreasnyeah, I've been involved with the project since about the launch of it11:18
andreasnyeah, or a theme following the tango-guidelines11:20
andreasnas I don't want to see a mishmash of styles on my desktop11:21
andreasnand it creates a feeling of unprofessionalism11:21
omegYeah, that's one of the worst things that can happen.11:21
omegWhat do you think about the Vista icons?11:21
klepasi can't wait until a prime distro uses tango as default11:21
klepasomeg: their visual metaphors aren't well thought over11:22
omegI personally am still hoping that Vista's icon set is just some beta thing.11:22
andreasnnovell linux desktop 10 will probably11:22
omegBecause I find them appaling.11:22
omeg*appalling11:22
andreasnand some people in the fedora project wants to use tango for fedora core 611:22
omegEspecially the new Internet Explorer icon. It's just totally wrongfully designed.11:22
klepaswould be nice to see distros stop wasting effort to produce a branding icon set11:23
omegIn fact, their entire glass interface is nonsense.11:23
omegBut I guess that's just Windows.11:23
omegIt's not like they haven't been messing up their interface more and more ever since Windows 95's release.11:23
andreasnthe thing about the vista interface is that there are probably going to be a buch of winxp-icons in there left11:24
andreasnand probably some win9x-icons aswell11:25
andreasnand it will take a while before isv's are starting to migrate to the vista-style11:25
andreasnklepas: do you have all my tangofied app icons?11:27
andreasnhaven't sent too many of them upstream yet :(11:27
andreasnforesight linux ships with tango by default aswell, btw11:29
klepasandreasn: none of them11:31
andreasnI think I have a tar.gz around here somewhere11:31
klepasjust making branding sets the way they are traditionally done is senseless11:31
klepasthat would be awesome11:31
klepas:)11:31
andreasnklepas: http://ramnet.se/~nisse/diverse/temp/ubuntu-tango-set/11:37
andreasnjust tell me if something is missing11:38
andreasnI have already sent the inkscape icon to their mailing-list, but I'm not sure if it's in or not11:38
andreasnbut pitivi use the new tango-icon in cvs11:38
klepasi'll have a look at in a sec11:39
klepasthey're awesome11:43
omegThose icons are hot.11:43
klepasi'll consider adding to that when time permits11:43
klepasso that we keep some sort of version number for it11:43
klepascan we call it version 0.111:44
=== klepas edits the tarball as tango-apps-0.1.tar.gz
andreasnhttp://ramnet.se/~nisse/andreasportfolio/icons.html11:44
andreasncheck if any of them are missing that is in this page11:44
klepasthe kontact icon11:47
klepasand the xchat-gnome icon11:48
andreasnno, I mean the other way around11:49
andreasnI can't use the xchat-gnome icon in my portfolio, lapo did that one11:49

klepasthe puzzle icon11:50
klepasthat red dot one11:50
klepasand the Aaa one11:50
klepasoh, and the mailbox one11:50
andreasnok, the puzzle icon is in ff, the mailbox in tb, the A in tango-art-libre11:51

adlhttp://wombat.nuxified.com/node/15103:36
adlthis is a link pascal gave me03:36
_who_yea, I knew Pascall was very pro-tango :P03:39
_who_I think we really ought to do one totally tango theme03:39
_who_I'm just more interested in doing one using NuovEXT and Water Vapour03:40
adlwell, i might not be the right person to talk with for something like that ;) i'm not a very creative guy you know ;)03:41
adlbut your plans seem nice03:41
_who_lol, do you know how we submit artwork for consideration for Dapper?03:42

adlhe'll most likely know03:44
adli didnt catch any discussions today either - was here too late it seems03:44
henoWhen you've put together the artwork you need to get it packaged for Universe03:50
henoI suggest you contact the MOTU team https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU or #ubuntu-motu03:50
henolink up with someone there who can package art team stuff regularly and upload to universe03:51
henoagree on a regular place where you can upload a tarball and the packager can grab it03:51

=== lapo_ is now known as lapo
lapoheno: have you considered the dappericons tangoification?04:07
henolapo: well, I think it's a good idea, personally04:08
henobut it needs to be taken forward04:08
henoI suggest you support the ongoing effort of klepas to put a complete tango package together04:08
henoand then push it into universe04:09
henoI think following the guidelines WRT perspective is a good idea04:10
henoI'm not sure using the tango colours will work at this point though04:10
henoyour comparison image makes a very good case, lapo04:11
henoyou should post it on the wiki and the mailing list04:11
henowhich mark now reads04:11
henoand he is the one who is now giving direction to the icon designer04:12
henoperhaps you can offer to work with and help that designer directly04:12
henoto better follow the tango guidelines04:13
lapook, I'll surellly do it04:14
henogreat, push the message out there :)04:15
henogoing through indirect channels (like myself) will only weaken the message04:15
henoand slow down communications04:15
lapoI was looking for mark, but he is not online04:16
lapoas you can see my english sucks and I fear to be misunderstood, but I'll do my best on the ml04:20
henohe is easier to catch on email04:22
henoDont worry about your english; your pictures speak loudly and clearly ;)04:23
lapok, thanks for you help04:23

henoDid anyone get a chance to look at the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperExampleContent stuff?04:41
henoCan anyone here make a decent drawing in OOo draw? ;)04:41
lapoooo draw is painfull, I did all the illustration for my gf graduation thesis, dunno how much interesting can be a schematic thooth btw :-)05:00
henolapo: that might be ok. ATM we have 005:02
henoI could draw something myself, but that would be really bad :-/05:03
lapoheno: http://xoomer.virgilio.it/bat/heno/05:19
lapobtw new ooo misrenders them in a bad way, I did this stuff in 0.98 (...and you can't immagine how painfull it was :-))05:20
henolapo: heh, yeah. Have you tried making equations ion OOo? That's very painful indeed05:20
henoThanks, I'll have a look05:21
henolapo: Hey, these are funny :)  I'm sure I can use one of these. Cool!05:22
henoCan you sand me a bit of background about what they were used for?05:23
henowhat school, etc05:23
henoand what license you would like to use05:23
lapoyes I tried the equation editor, is not that bad btw, zero documentation is the problem05:23
laposhe a dentist, this was for her graduation thesis, the title was...uhm...05:24
henono, trust me it's bad. If you've used LyXor Latex it's really slow05:24
henoand license? CC-BY-SA would be good05:25
lapoosteogenesys distraction or something05:25

lapoyou can use watherver license you want05:25
henowell, it's your work so you have to license it :)05:26

nomedi 'm collecting stuff and trying to figure out what's the best10:53
nomedandreasn, http://debased.sourceforge.net/xubuntu/tmp/artworks/html/logos.html10:53
nomedthe first one is the logo used as "favincon" in launchpad ..10:54
nomedbut i think it too light ..10:54
nomedthe one i like more is the last one ..10:54
andreasnthe colors in that one looks very similar to the ones in kubuntu10:54
nomedyep10:54
andreasnthe first that is10:55
nomedthat's the problem ..10:55
andreasnyeah, those colors looks nice and is distinctive from the others10:55
nomedandreasn, that's the one i made helped by a gimp guy10:55
nomed:)10:55
andreasnhow do you feel about combining the size of the mouse in the first one with the colors in the third?10:55
