troy_splease don't request wallpapers mailed to the mailing list.06:20
troy_ssamples relevant to the given development phase are great, though.06:21

kwwiimoin06:42
kwwiitroy_s: ping?06:42
troy_sgreets kwwii06:42
troy_ssorry... thanks for the flash06:42
kwwiihehe06:42
kwwiimoin moin06:42
troy_semailing... hold a second.06:42
kwwiican you try something for me?06:43
kwwiiI am still getting an oops when I try to rename the specs06:43
kwwiifor instance, https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/ubuntu-art-login-manager should become https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/edgy-login-manager-art06:44
kwwiiI think that launchpad hates me06:48
jsgotangcohmmm06:48
jsgotangcohave you asked for help in the launchpad channel?06:48
kwwiiyepp, and I made a bug06:52
kwwiiI get an oops every time06:53
kwwiiand the bug was set to "fix committed"06:53
kwwiiI question is this: does fix committed mean it should be fixed or that it will be fixed sometime in the future?06:53
kwwiiI just woke up though...wanted to drink a coffee before joining the channel again :p06:54
troy_serk.06:55
troy_si think i have tried that with the same results.06:55
troy_sby the way ken, you really need to stimulate some Kubuntu development by at the very least plopping some06:56
troy_sdesign issues into the relevant spec06:56
kwwiitroy_s: yeah, I have actually started...we have a paradigm page underway, but the situation makes it kinda hard06:58
kwwiiI was hoping to figure out how to place the kubuntu artwork in a direct parallel to ubuntu, but I guess that is not going to work06:59
kwwiiok, it will take a week or so for the changes to go into effect07:06
troy_swell i think parallel is gret07:06
troy_sgreat07:06
troy_sbut the distinctive element is more of a subclass (as in implementation details)07:07
kwwiiI found that someone had created this page (so I edited it as best I could): https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuArtworkParadigm07:07
troy_swhere is the paradigm page?07:07
troy_sI don't believe that "Human" clearly defines "Gnome", nor should it.07:09
troy_sAnd it would probably be very useful to have such an analagous thought for Kubuntu.07:09
troy_s"Crystal" doesn't exactly connote a visual palette, if you know what I mean.  Further still... crystal is part of KDE, and KDE is a wm, as opposed to an entire operating system.07:11
troy_sAlso, when is frank back kwwii?07:11
troy_sBecause you guys need to sort out A) the formal specification title approach with documentation on the wiki (as in a howto extension)07:13
troy_sand B) the proper mailing list procedure with 'offtopic' etc.07:13
troy_sthose are both basically sabdfl needs.07:13
kwwiifrank should be back soon07:14
kwwiiHuman has nothing to do with gnome, it is pure ubuntu07:14
kwwiiand gnome has nothing like this07:14
kwwiibut kde already did07:14
kwwiiand crystal does have a palette, and a style, etc,07:15
troy_syes... so perhaps extending crystal to more of a kubuntu thematic or vice versa?07:15
kwwiithe hardest part is that we only have one or two people working on kubuntu07:15
kwwiiyepp, that is my idea07:15
troy_sKubuntu needs to be distinctive, which means it really needs those damn paradigms.07:15
troy_sphilosophy07:15
troy_setc.07:15
kwwiibut crystal is going away in the next release07:15
troy_sYeah well one or two, but the bottom line is that there are some pretty good folks on the list.  Not a horrible starting point.07:16
troy_sSure...07:16
troy_sbut then you intend to build on oxygen07:16
troy_swhich means localizing a motif that oxygen fits with07:16
kwwiiyepp07:16
troy_sHuman is great because it really connotes a good deal, and when you couple that with the Ubuntu code of conduct, you get a pretty clear picture.07:16
troy_sAs per Frank's philosophy page.07:17
kwwiiactually, stylistically human is just a word which means nothing to me in an art sense07:17
troy_sReally?07:17
kwwiiand that philosophy page is kinda neat, but I could replace "human" with any other word and get the same thing out of it07:18
kwwiior the other way around07:18
troy_sI would beg to differ on that actually.  I find it to be a very useful starting point.  Of course, one must elaborate on it with the fact that Ubuntu has a 'philosophy' and a code of conduct.07:18
kwwiiit is a usefull starting point, I agree07:18
troy_sHuman implies an awful lot.07:18
troy_sWhich again, is a very useful artistic term.  As one can clearly see if you choose 'Acid' instead of human07:18
troy_setc.07:18
troy_sI guess the hard questions are:07:19
troy_s1) Is Kubuntu part of the Ubuntu spirit / mandate / philosophy.07:19
troy_s2) Is Kubuntu subject to the code of conduct, etc?07:19
troy_sand build outwards from there.07:19
troy_sOn the existing stylistic tendency or what have you.07:19
kwwiiwell, that philosophy page seems to take the ideas already behind ubuntu and say Ubuntu is like that...if I were to make one for kubuntu it would sound funky and be pretty much a cut and paste of most of that stuff07:19
troy_sPersonally, i love your idea for a violet hue.07:19
troy_sHey that's great too.07:20
troy_sAt least people have a starting point.07:20
kwwiitrue07:20
troy_sYou can't build a house without a foundation.07:20
troy_sIf you would like to see it head towards a magenta tone or what have you, you will need some sort of stylistic tendency to bring it really along.07:20
troy_sCould be very powerful.07:21
kwwiiI guess that my biggest problem is that I get caught up in the implementation too often07:21
troy_sI think violet is a rocking idea though.07:21
kwwiiif it would only fit to the kubuntu logo :-)07:21
troy_sYes... but remember, if you were building a rocket ship you probably wouldn't start out by pounding rivets into sheet metal.07:21
kwwiisomewhat tricky but doable07:21
kwwiihehe07:21
kwwiiyeah07:21

msikma_I hate SVG wallpapers (the ones that I've seen).11:54
msikma_I just find that nobody is able to fully work around the lack of distinct control that one loses when working with vectors.11:54
msikma_But I'd love to see SVG wallpapers that do this.11:54
klepasmsikma_: sure :)12:20
lapomsikma_ : apt-get gnome-backgrounds12:33
lapomsikma_: I'm quite happy on how tentacles and ellipses came along12:35
lapothe problem is that with current gnome svg renderer when you use alpha you get a log of banding12:38
lapolot12:38
lapoIn tentacles for example I had to add some elements (the shaded circles) to hide the banding12:39
lapobtw svg is really not good for wallpapers, in gnome bg we goes that way to have a lighter package since svgs are a lot smaller then bitmaps12:40
msikma_klepas: what do you mean, sure?12:47
klepasgreat svg wallpapers are definitely in existance12:55

lapokwwii: I would be not that sure :-03:08
lapo:-)03:08
