nomedis there anyone that would be happy to play with xubuntu artwork ?05:20
nomedit's not that much work ..05:20
nomedwe need just a color scheme and maybe fix the logo with that ..05:21
=== bachler [i=rakahang@62.101.48.8] has joined #ubuntu-artwork
laponomed: color scheme?05:29
nomedlapo, colors that should be used on xubuntu artwork05:29
nomeden ex05:29
lapoure, but what you have in mind?05:30
laposure05:30
lapowhat about using tango color scheme?05:30
nomedlapo, that's what i would05:30
nomedi need to have a not just a color palatte ..05:30
nomedbut even "color scheme"05:31
nomedi mean ..05:31
nomedhaving a list of "official" colors05:31
nomedit'll be easier to fix the gtk theme05:31
lapoisn't it what the color palette is for?05:31
nomedgtkrc file for gtk-engine05:31
lapoon the wiki I read you are targeting grays, right?05:32
nomedlapo, for ex on a gtkrc file i may need to use more then 3 blue05:32
nomedlapo, that's an idea05:32
nomedmainly for gtkrc theme05:32
nomedbut the logo should use blue as main color05:33
lapoI suck at writing gtkrcs, but I can help with icons05:33
nomedlapo, i can fix the ubuntu gtkrc05:33
lapoif you target blue as main color the you could just use tango icons05:33
nomedif i had a list of colors HEX i can use05:33
nomedand that fit well togheter05:33
nomedthat look nice05:34
nomedlapo, i can't use tango icons05:34
nomedas they'll not be in main05:34
nomedi can use ubuntu icons05:34
laponomed: the tango palette colors fits well toghether05:34
nomedlapo, yep05:35
nomedthat's true05:35
lapouhm....I think ubuntu icons inherits tango, are you shure it will not be in main?05:35
nomedlapo yes05:35
lapobah, that sucks05:35
nomedlapo, the problem of tango color palette05:36
nomedis that i may need more then 3 blue05:36
nomedand more then 3 gray ...05:36
nomedand i'll not need orange or green ..05:36
lapothere are I think 5 grays05:37
nomedlapo, i guess xubuntu icons theme will inherit ubuntu icons theme05:37
nomedthat's my idea05:38
lapoubuntu icon theme is all orange05:38
nomedbut with different colors where needed05:38
nomedso xubuntu icons theme will have mainly folders05:38
laponomed: if you do not want orange I fear you'll need a lot of icons, not only the folders05:39
laponomed: there aren't any "source" files for dapper human icons so recoloring them is a lot of work05:40
lapocan't you just push tango in main?05:40
nomedi asked to canonical people .. and they were not really happy05:41
nomedi'll have a meeting in two days ...05:41
lapocan I ask you why?05:41
nomedlapo, the answer was ..05:41
nomedubuntu will use its own icon theme05:41
lapoIf you can put tango in main, I'll do my best to do all the icons you may need05:42
lapobtw I'm not going to do icons which are not following tango guidelines05:42
nomedlapo, yep ..05:44
nomedi really would have tango in main ..05:44
nomedbut i guess it depends on dholbach05:45
nomedlapo, you could for ex play with this :)05:45
nomedhttp://www.dsslive.org/xubuntu/tmp/artworks/html/logos.html05:45
lapoyour logo is problematic as a icon05:46
nomedi know the mouse is too small05:47
nomedthe problem here is to make it different as much as possible from kubuntu one05:48
lapoblue is the color of kubuntu, why don't you taret something else?05:48
lapotarget even05:48
nomedlapo, we do not have artists working on that05:48
nomedthat was an old proposed logo05:48
lapoyou may have one at least :-)05:48
nomedandreasen proposed himself .. but it looks like he's busy in this period05:49
nomedlapo, we really need something ready soon05:49
nomedat least for the doc writers05:49
lapoif tango goes in I'll find the time :-)05:49
nomedehehe05:49
nomedlapo, we do not need just icons ... would you fix even the logo ?05:51
laposure05:51
nomedhttp://www.dsslive.org/xubuntu/tmp/artworks/svg/05:52
nomedonce the logo has been done05:52
nomedi would make a list of the colors used within the ubuntu gtkrc05:53
nomedand find xubuntu suitable ones ...05:53
nomedubuntu #jhjhjh ---> xubuntu ---> #lklklk05:53
lapotango in, I can do it, tango out, sorry nope05:58
lapothat's my condition, it's not that I don't want to do it, but I'm doing tango stuff all the time so I want to continue in the tango way06:00
lapoand I cannot bear the mishmash that can came out with tango and non tango stuff06:00
nomedlapo, i understand06:00
nomedmy idea was to use tango icons as xubuntu icons theme06:01
nomedi'm even patching xfce stuff to use tango icon-utils-naming stuff06:02
lapoif you're not happy with something in tango we can try to fix it upstream or privide a xubuntu theme with the different icons06:02
nomedso if not for dapper it'll be for dapper +1 ..06:02
nomedbut that's definitively my direction06:02
=== andreasn [n=andreas@h108n3fls33o1104.telia.com] has joined #ubuntu-artwork
laponomed: if you want a similar look to the human stuff, I can for example recolor the hardware icons in orango tango to fit xubuntu palette06:04
andreasnhey there06:04
lapociao andreasn06:04
nomedlapo, i try to figure out how we can use tango icons06:05
nomedand if it'll be possible to have them in main06:05
lapocool06:05
nomedxubuntu will need an icon theme06:05
nomedand tango icons are more complete that Rodent06:06
lapoyep, tango is a easy way to have one quickly06:06
=== andreasn feels a bit embarrased, as he has promised nomed some new xfce-icons for quite a while now
nomedthat is the xfce default06:06
nomedandreasn, at the moment that's not the probelm :)06:07
lapowould be cool to have tango upstream in xfce06:07
nomedlapo, at the moment all xfce devel are using tango06:08
lapoif you'll go tango, as I said I'll help you with everything you may need, I hope andreasn, time permitting, to do the same06:08
andreasnis there a xubuntu-live cd anywhere? I've been a bit eager to try xfce out for quite a while06:08
nomedandreasn, not yet06:09
nomedwaitin for xfce pkges in main06:09
nomedthere will be soon06:09
nomedreally soon06:09
andreasnperhaps I can just install it in dapper06:09
lapocool06:09
nomedxfce has a really cool file manager06:11
lapoandreasn: xfce is getting quite nice, the new fm is ubercool06:11
nomedand it's really fast mainly06:11
laponomed: cazzo sei italiano e io son qui che mi sforzo di parlare inglese :-)06:13
nomedehehe06:13
nomedgia'06:14
=== Gloubiboulga [n=gauvain@ubuntu/member/gloubiboulga] has joined #ubuntu-artwork
nomedlapo, suposing we'll have tango and we can inherit it ...06:47
nomedwill you fix missing icons eventually ?06:48
laposure06:48
nomedcould u confirm this ?06:48
lapoyes, giurin giuretta :-)06:48
nomedperfect .. that's an important point06:48
nomedehehe06:48
lapoI cannot promise I can fix all the missing, I can say I'll do my best06:49
nomedlapo, yep06:49
lapo(depends a lot on the number of missing icons)06:49
nomedbut there are really few :)06:49
lapodo you know which are the missing ones?06:49
nomedmost of them will need just a link to existing one06:49
lapoI mean, do you know at the moment which are the missing ones?06:50
nomedhttp://www.dsslive.org/mediawiki/index.php/Roadmap-0.3-1:XfceTheme06:50
laposince you're at patching, would be better to patch the applications06:50
nomedlapo, i'm not an xfce upstreamer06:51
nomedit'll need time to patch xfce directly06:51
nomedit'll be meybe possible for dapper +106:52
nomedmaybe06:52
lapoyou could patch icon-naming-utils tho06:52
lapoI think dobey could probably accept patches for xfce06:55
nomedlapo, yep06:55
nomedthat's my idea06:56
lapocool06:56
nomedi asked already to dobey06:56
nomedand he was fine with that06:56
lapothe missing icons are not that much, I can easily do those one, you'll have to explain me the meaning of most of them tho :-)06:57
nomedsure06:57
nomedlapo, it looks like to inherit tango in xubuntu theme will depend on the missing or broken icons07:01
nomedi mean if we can cover all the rodent icons ... there shouldn't be problems on using it07:01
lapowhat that means?07:01
nomedmost of rodent icons are already in tango07:02
nomedor vice versa07:02
lapoif the missing one are what you showed me, we can do it07:02
lapoones07:02
lapowhat you mean with broken?07:02
andreasnnomed: I also have a Icon=stock_terminal-colors for you07:03
andreasnonly in scalable yet though07:03
nomedthat exists in tango (the meaning) but that has a different name07:03
nomedandreasn, i guess it should be a little step to convert all those icons in pngs07:03
nomedand in different sizes07:04
lapono problem with pngs07:04
andreasnwhat svg library does xfce use? librsvg?07:04
lapoperhaps there could be problems with target sizes07:05
lapoif you don't need anything less then 48x48 we are ok, if you need 32x32 we are pretty fscked up07:05
nomedlapo, menu uses 2407:05
lapono probs, tango have 22x2207:06
nomedthat should be the smaller 07:06
lapotango makefiles alredy produces 24x24 icons adding 1px padding to 22x2207:06
lapothta's not really noticiable07:07
lapothe sizes tango cover well are 16x16, 22x22, 24x24, 48x48 and up07:07
nomedlapo, yep07:07
nomedthat's all xfce needs07:08
laposo we're cool :-)07:08
andreasn24x24 is only via icon-naming-utils, right?07:08
lapoandreasn: nope, icon naming-utils don't know anything about mangling pngs or converting svgs to png07:08
lapoandreasn: the makefiles do the magic, easy things btw07:09
andreasnok, nice07:09
laponomed: do you want playing tango (nice) or tangoified ubuntu stuff (silly) for hardware? :-)07:12
nomedlapo, i like more tango ones07:13
lapocool07:13
nomedbut as i told it doesn't depend just on me07:13
lapook, let me know what you all  decide and I'll do the leg work07:13
nomedk07:14
lapoandreasn: I hope you can find the time to help btw :-)07:14
nomedi hope to know something soon07:14
andreasnlapo: me too07:14
laponomed: calamandrei at gmail07:14
andreasnbut university studies are calming down a bit no, so that shouldn't be a problem07:15
laponomed: where you came from?07:15
lapoandreasn: cool07:15
nomedgenova07:15
lapowe are not that distant, perhaps we can talk about it behind a beer07:15
nomedwhere are you from ?07:16
lapopescia, near lucca07:16
nomedlapo, cool .. so that's possible :)07:17
lapoI'll be in genova one of the next sundays, my gf decided that I wanted to see the acquario :-)07:17
nomedi'm somtime in PISA07:17
nomedcool :)07:17
lapough...ok, that's not your fault07:17
nomedLOL07:17
lapoyou're not from pisa, RIGHT?! :-)07:18
nomedno no genoa07:18
lapouhm...ok, I was a bit scared for a moment :-)07:19
lapoma bada te se devo sparare bischerate su pisa in inglese! :-)07:19
nomed:D07:19
lapociao07:48
