msikmaThanks :) But I really wonder whether the text can be further down that thing, otherwise I'd have to darken the splash image to ensure it's readable.01:48
sladenMicksa: it looks like mdz is already in there.  Generally the secret is to highlight the nickname of the person you're after a response from by starting the line with  name: 01:48
sladenmsikma: ^^ ...assuming you address it to the right person :)01:48
msikmaI didn't know mdz was a dev01:48
msikmaHaha01:48
tsengmsikma: the text is drawn at the bottom of the image01:48
tsengmsikma: as its a png, you might be able to make a rectangular area at the bottom, transparent01:49
tsengmsikma: give it a try.01:49
msikmatseng: but the background can be different, right? In my example, it's the typical default red/brown, but users can make that different?01:49
msikmaAh, so it accepts 32-bit PNGs?01:49
tsengI would assume01:49
tsenganything else in gnome does.01:49

msikmaOh, there is one last thing that I wanted to ask. I've been working on a modification of the Human GTK theme. Do you think that it is possible to get the rounded edges of a window to be anti-aliased, like in this mock-up? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Specs/PolishHumanGTKTheme/Incoming?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=michielgtk12.png01:50
tsengmsikma: no.01:51
=== marsu [n=user@c83-248-240-16.bredband.comhem.se] has joined #ubuntu-devel
msikmaNot even with an image?01:51
tsengnot with metacity on standard X, anyway01:51
_ionWith Xgl + compiz, antialiased rounded window edges are already here.01:51
msikmaI don't really know how the system internally works, but it's true you can add images to the metacity, right? So I couldn't just use a 32-bit PNG?01:51
msikma_ion: ah, I guess that is true. But then people would have to have them installed.01:52
=== Nafallo [n=nafallo@ubuntu/member/nafallo] has joined #ubuntu-devel
_ionThe default X and the default Metacity do not do any compositing.01:52
tsengi dont think you can add an image for the corner01:52
tsengor someone would have already done this01:52
msikmaThat's too bad :(01:52
msikmaNon-anti-aliased corners are so 198401:53
tsengthe images are mainly the buttons on most themes01:53
tsengand the bar is some combination of gradients01:53
msikmaSo I guess that I'm stuck with aliased corners, then.01:53
tsengwe've lived this long01:53
tsengit isnt exactly the worst problem we have01:54
_ionmsikma: Or switch to Xgl + Compiz. :-) But that's offtopic for this channel.01:55
msikmaWell, the thing is, though, it's a pretty annoying thing for the artists. From our perspective, Windows Vista will have anti-aliased corners, Mac OS X already does, and Ubuntu is going to be left behind a little bit. It's just a thorn in the eye since everything else is nicely anti-aliased.01:55
sivanglifeless: oh! I see you now have an online and computer software version of the dictionary :-)01:55

lifelessno01:56
sivanglifeless: k01:56
lifelesstheres at least two other Robert Collins's in open source01:56
sladenmsikma: the rounded corners are done with a 'mask', a grid of noughts and ones saying which pixels to lay down and which to 'punch out'.  There already a slight performance overhead from using that as it is.01:56
lifelessbut only one in squid/ubuntu/vcs 01:56
lifelesshowever the first and third hits are me01:57
sladenmsikma: the secret is to make the corners look *good* even with that constaint, eg. to antialias against 50% (the normal background) and then to clip the result01:57
msikmaStill, just being able to do that with 2-bit transparency would be infinitely better01:57
tsengmeh, try it01:57
tsengi am not sure why you expect us to know more about theming tricks than you01:58
=== sivang - > out (food)
msikmaI don't know anything about how stuff internally works, unfortunately.01:58
sladenmsikma: 2-bit transparency is like mixing paints.  It's not actually transparency at all, what to have is a switch that says whether to fetch pixels from the left, or from the right01:58
sladenmsikma: sorry, "what we have is a switch that"01:58

sladenmsikma: one of those is your window, the other is the background---the 'rounded corner result' is the combination of taking one *or* the other (but not both) for each individual pixel02:00
msikmaAh, so you just mean one from the top or the bottom.02:00
sladenmsikma: yes, that's why it's 1-bit.  It's a switch02:01
sladenmsikma: rather than a fader02:01
msikmaI do get how that works, but I just think that reworking it to have more comprehensive transparency would be a lot better, from an artist's point of view. It's just very old-fashioned, from my perspective, to have 1-bit transparency.02:01
sladenmsikma: oh, better analogy.  The light-switch in your living room, can either be on, or off.  It's can't be half way02:01
sladenmsikma: (unless you have a dimmer---but that would need an upgrade of the wiring electronics, which we don't have, except for compiz)02:02
_ionmsikma: The technology is already implemented with open source. It just needs to mature before it can be switched on by default for appropriate hardware.02:02
msikma_ion: and by that, you mean compiz?02:02
sladenmsikma: it's is old fashioned.  It's a standard from about 1987 :)02:03
msikmahttp://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=345249 <-- I did file this report a while back...02:03
_ionmsikma: Actually xgl/aiglx is what makes it possible, compiz just makes use of it.02:03
msikmaAha02:03
UbugtuGnome bug 345249 in general "Window edges anti-aliasing request" [Enhancement,Unconfirmed]  02:03
msikmaStill, the thing is: we already have, for example, cursors that have 8-bit transparency, and the corners of a window certainly aren't that much larger than a cursor (unless you have an ungodly amount of windows open) so it would seem to a non-programmer like me that the overhead shouldn't be _too_ large.02:04
msikmaWell, I guess I'll just have to work around it.02:05
=== imbrandon [n=brandon@ubuntu/member/pdpc.active.imbrandon] has joined #ubuntu-devel
infinitymsikma: Cursors have a defined background.  Windows have to compose their background based on the other windows they're stacked on.02:05
infinitymsikma: The latter is much more effort.02:06
infinityOh, wait, I read "cursors" as "icons".02:06
infinityWe have 8-bit transparency in cursors?02:06
msikmaYeah, the shadows are 8-bit transparency, I think.02:06
sladeninfinity: yeah, normally done in software as a result though, which is why the cursors 'lags'02:06
msikmaIn any case, I believe that cursors are made by collecting 32-bit PNGs and then changing them into a different format.02:06
sladenmsikma: correct.  Cursors are also *always* at the top of the stack02:07
sladenmsikma: the transparent corners thing is easy when it's just a background and the window.  But imagine having 10 semi transparent  windows overlapping in different ways----that's when the problem gets hard; and the solution for that is to switch to a different method.  Unfortunately, that method isn't available everywhere yet02:09
sladenmsikma: just like not everyone has 21" monitors;  we have to produce something that looks good on both02:09
msikmaWhat about enabling it on those systems of which we know it will run?02:10
sladenmsikma: that's the idea.  But we *still have to make it look good* on the systems that can't02:10
msikmaSure. So they will just see the aliased edges.02:11
msikmaWhich isn't too bad either.02:11

sladenmsikma: basically at the moment you need to have XGL (which crashes as much as somebody learning to ski) or AIGLX which requires extensions to the X servers.  Currently the only cards fast enough are Intel, Nvidia binary, or ATI binary;  and we don't enable the binary drivers by default02:12
sladenmsikma: I think the edges were solved under 6.06 by having a 1 pixel black line around the edge, which instead creates maximum contrast and still looks good02:13
msikmaActually, I think that it looked terrible. Which is partially why I went here to ask if anything better was possible. :P02:14
msikmaTo put a black line around the edge actually seems like the opposite of what I would do. Which is to make an as clean transition between the metacity and the edges of the window as possible.02:15
infinitylastnode: Hey, dude.  I vaguely recall that you wanted to talk to me about something or other, but I'm also thoroughly enjoying my weekend here. :)02:15
lastnodeinfinity, sure mate, laters. :) have a good one!02:15
infinitymsikma: Given the technical limitations, I always felt that having rounded corners in the dapper them was just a mistake, period.02:16
msikmaMe too. I would actually much rather use non-rounded ones simply to get past this limitation. But it seems that some people disagree.02:16
lastnodeimbrandon, ping?02:17
=== lastnode goes back to python
msikmaSomething about Ubuntu being all about rounding, which I don't think makes much sense. If they want to define Ubuntu, they can't just say "Ubuntu is this and that, and that's why we need *insert random thing here*".02:17
infinityWell, I'm also generally offended by rounded corners on windows, since the windows themselves are rectangular.  But I'm just anal about cleanliness.02:17
msikmaYou should frequent the Ubuntu mailing list or IRC channel!02:18
msikmaEr, *art mailing list02:18
infinityThat would probably drive me insane. :P02:18
tsengmy participation for the artwork usually involves downloading the art from SuSE02:18
tsengand changing it all as quickly as possible02:18
infinityI'll just keep programming, and be (un)pleasantly surprised when a new default theme is shoved down my throat every few months.02:18
imbrandonlol02:18
lastnodei prefer non-rounded as well, but a lot of end users love rounded for some reason02:19
lastnodei think from a design perspective rounded comes across as more "friendly" and "warm"02:19
=== imbrandon sticks to his purdy kwin
tsengI understand that isnt helpful, but I quickly tire of the lengthy arguments over art02:19
infinityYeah, I don't get it.  On WinXP machines, the first thing I do is switch back to the Windows Classic theme.02:19
msikmaI've been tempted to join #ubuntu-art for a long time.02:19
msikmaSince 5.04.02:19
=== lastnode removes tongue from cheek
lastnodeinfinity, ahaha, me too :)02:19
lastnodebut that's because the blue reminds of the BSOD02:19
lastnodeand i flash back to pre-puberty and windows 95 :s02:20
msikmaI just didn't want to join because I felt Ubuntu Artwork was pretty okay. But then Dapper came out.02:20
infinityIt's the massive waste of space from the huge rounded titlebars that annoys me.02:20
msikmaI think Dapper was a **major** step down.02:20
msikmaArt-wise.02:20
infinityDedicating all that space to widgets is annoying, especially on my 800x600 craptop.02:20
lastnodemsikma, pretty much everyone ive met has said otherwise though (end users)02:20
sladenmsikma: right it sounds like edgy will have a great theme to improve on it02:20
tsengmsikma: i dont know.. my suse art still looks great02:20
=== StevenK misses the discrete, little "<logo> ubuntu" on the desktop background.
lastnodeinfinity, on 800x600 id prefer if there were _no_ tutlebars02:20
msikmaWell, all they got to do is listen to me and all will be fine in the end :P02:21
sladenmsikma: I didn't mind the 6.06 theme once the gawd-aweful bright orange was toned down02:21
lastnodedidnt someone do a blog post of the progression of ubuntu art?02:21
=== lastnode goes to look for it
msikmasladen: that's my main issue.02:21
msikmaThe window title is way too bright.02:21
msikmaI sometimes seriously have trouble reading what a title says.02:21
msikmaThen there's the non-existent-but-still-somewhat-existent window border (at the left, right and bottom). I just don't really see that as a good option.02:22
msikmaThen there's one last thing. I really think that Tangerine looks better than Human. There are just a couple of serious design mistakes that the authors of Human have made that simply make it less usable.02:23
msikmaApparently, Human is the default because Ubuntu needs to look "unique" and "specific". As if the entirety of the artwork that has been made for it isn't already unique enough. Tangerine itself is unique to Ubuntu, too. I feel that if they want to use the artwork to market Ubuntu (i.e. "unique" is definitely a marketing decision), they should not harm the visual integrity of the system in order to do so, since that's just plain wrong.02:24
msikmaMarketing can be done in other fields than the icons, of all things.02:25
tsengmark objects to the tango style in general02:25
msikmaBut well, that's JUST ME.02:25
lastnodehas anyone got a sec to try out a wee python script? :)02:25
tsengbut if someone were to make a nice consistant set of themes02:25
msikmaIf he objects to the Tango style, why is he letting a team remake Tango in raster and with sometimes just slight differences? The only icons that are _really_ different than the Tangerine equivalents are the folder icon and internet icon.02:26
tsengthat werent hideous colors and based on human icons02:26
sladenmsikma: Ubuntu has a pretty good trademark --- "brown"02:26
tsengit might be able to go somewhere02:26
msikmaThe thing is.02:26
lastnodein most cultures society, brown signifies, the earth, something primeval, and i think that works for ubuntu02:26
msikmaWhat is the point of remaking, for example, the icon for services? Or the icon for the theme config panel?02:26
msikmaAll the Human designers are doing is remaking those icons that are already in Tangerine and making it slightly different.02:26
msikmaAnd worse than the original, and not in vector.02:27
lastnodeit's a nice change actually, in an age where everyone is going for flashy, plasticky, bright greens and blues02:27
sladenmsikma: more to the point, why are they remaking them in raster?02:27
tsengare you familiar with the term 'preaching to the choir'02:27
sladentseng: :)02:27
msikmaheh02:27
tsengwe are not artists however02:27
tsengso we sit here and live with it, or very quickly swap themes02:27
msikmaI believe that Human might be a good thing. But it should not remake icons that are perfectly okay already and do not have _any_ use being slightly different to _anyone_, especially not the end user.02:27
msikmaHuman should just be an extension to Tangerine that aims to change only a few core icons such as the folder icon.02:28
tsenghuman will never mix with a tango base in its current form02:28
tsengso its not really good in that case either if you ask me02:28
tsengyeah, Industrial from SLED changes a half dozen icons02:29
=== gorilla [n=george@ppp247-43.static.internode.on.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
msikmaHuman is just ugly. Take the arrows. The reload arrow has a bogus size. The left/right arrows have no edges and a thick drop shadow. This completely ruins the contrast between the edges of the physical aspect of the arrow and the shadow itself.02:29
msikmaAnd the guys that are making it have the full support of Mark, are getting a whole bunch of money, and don't even work fast (how long has Human been in progress now?)02:29
msikmaIt seriously makes me angry.02:29
tsengwho's getting money?02:29
msikmaoxygen-icons.02:29
msikmahttp://www.oxygen-icons.org/02:30
tsengwhat mark does with his money is his own business02:30
msikmaIndeed, but he's also making the system look less good while doing it. From an artist's perspective.02:30
tsengwhat we do with ubuntu is somewhat open for debate02:30
tsengw/i the schedule02:30
msikmaBut apparently, it's "marketing" he's after. "Marketing" with icons is next to useless.02:30
msikmaI tried debating it on the mailing list but the discussion was hushed.02:31
tsengyeah it is02:31
tsengjimmac wrote on this02:31
msikmaApparently "the decision is made", and "the decision is not up to you".02:31
msikmaHe did?02:31
tsengyes02:31
=== tseng looks
tsengyou could argue its a biased source02:31
tsengbut he's been the key gnome icon developer since forever02:31
msikmaThe bottom line is that Jimmac is a better designer than oxygen-icons.02:32
msikmaLook at their site. I'd say it looks awful.02:32
tsengI agree02:32
=== Hobbsee notes that the oxygen icons will be being used in kubuntu.
tsengbut again, I already knew human sucked 2 years ago02:33
msikmaThey're just inferior designers and thus they might be able to pixel-push pretty well but they simply can't make icons as good as Jimmac can.02:33
msikmaI still wonder if it is possible to open up a discussion about this.02:33
tsengyes, oxygen is pretty kde centric02:33
tsengafaik02:33
tsengmsikma: it would be a disaster02:33
msikmaI remember there was once a community poll that got hundreds of votes with Tangerine winning.02:33
Hobbseetseng: indeed02:33
tsengtangerine is a hack02:34
tsengI don't see a reason to repaint everything in a bad orange shade02:34
tsengbeyond a few icons02:34
msikmaI agree. Just the core icons need to be remade in orange style because that's what's considered to be necessary (I also somewhat disagree but that, but whatever).02:35
tsengthings were made distinctive colors for a reason02:35
tsenganyway, the only way to have a useful discussion at all is to do something better02:35
msikmaWhat I don't understand is why Human is remaking all the tiny icons as well that nobody really cares about. Honestly, ask anyone if they care whether their screen resolution icon looks like Tangerine or like Human. But still the Human makers are remaking those icons because they get paid for it.02:36
msikmaTangerine is something better than Human.02:36
msikmaBut it's still rejected.02:36
tsengi am not sure its 'rejected' outright02:36
tsengits int he default install02:36
tsengand the fallback for human02:36
msikmaWhy should anyone do something better if it'll just end up being rejected? It doesn't exactly give me a comforting idea that a _better_ design is not favored over a _worse_ design.02:36
tsengtango/tangerine and human are slightly different in aim, if you get me02:36
tsenghuman ~= industrial02:37
msikmatseng: it's not the default icon set, thus it is rejected to me.02:37
tsengindustrial rethemes a few things in tangerine02:37
tsenger, tango02:37
tsengtango is the base of other themes02:37
tsengnot the default02:37
msikmaHuman, an inferior icon set, was chosen over Tangerine, which I consider a big failure. I weren't around when the decision was made, but it would appear to me that most artists these days simply prefer Tangerine.02:37

=== lastnode_ [n=lastnode@unaffiliated/mahangu] has joined #ubuntu-devel
msikmaTango is the base, I get it. And Human extends that base.02:39
msikmaThat's what you're saying, right?02:39
tseng"extends" is taken pretty loosely there02:39
msikmaBut Human is an inferior extension.02:39
tsenghuman has no relation to tango though02:39
msikmaAnd the decision to use it is backed by an extremely important guy who is _not_ a designer. That's what burns me the most.02:39
tsengyou make a few tango-styled icons on top of tango02:39
tsengand be done.02:39
tsengmsikma: welcome to the club pal02:40
msikmaThat's what Human should be, indeed.02:40
msikmaAnd it's not like oxygen-icons is ever gonna tell Mark "hey man, we remade a few core icons, and it should be fine now." because they want to keep getting paid.02:40
tsengi have never seen anyone suggest that oxygen be the ubuntu icon theme02:41
tsengmark can do as he wishes with his money02:41
msikmaI mean the company oxygen-icons, who are making Human.02:41
tseng(they are?)02:41
Luremsikma: oxygen icons are for kde4 and I doubt they are sponsored by Mark02:41
msikmaYeah, it's been mentioned on the list a few times and they've sent mails.02:41
HobbseeLure: we are having them in kubuntu though.02:42
LureHobbsee: not until kde4 (due to license)02:42
HobbseeLure: oh really?  i thought it was all gpl'd :(02:42
LureHobbsee: no, intentionally they do not want releases before kde4 big-bang02:43
HobbseeLure: oh i see.  darn02:43
RiddellLure is correct.  not sure what msikma is on about02:43
HobbseeLure: didnt know that, thanks02:43
msikmaI don't mean the Oxygen Icons.02:43
msikmaI mean the COMPANY that is called Oxygen Icons. Or perhaps they're called differently, but that appears to be their site.02:44
msikmaActually I'm maybe just very wrong.02:44
msikmaI don't know anymore.02:44
Riddellmsikma: oxygen is an icon theme. is made by volunteers for KDE 4, it's not funded by anyone02:44
Riddellactually it was funded by SuSE at the start02:45
msikmaWell.02:45
msikmaAnyway, I think that I've made my point.02:45
msikma:P02:46
tsengyou haven't done much of anything but gotten me to agree with you02:46
msikmaWell, that's one thing.02:46
tsengnothings changed.02:46

robertjpah, we've got telnet, who needs a web browser too08:41

bluefoxicywe've got netcat08:41
robertjyour right08:43
keescookbluefoxicy: however will you negotiate telnet terminal settings?  ;)08:44
bluefoxicykeescook:  if you can use telnet for a web browser, then you can use netcat for an ad-hoc terminal.08:44

geserif a package build fails (on all archs) could it be retried again or is a new upload necessary?09:44
sladengeser: why is it failing?09:45
geserbecause a build-dependency wasn't installable at that moment but it is now again09:46
geserit's about gnome-mag09:46

Luresladen: is wireless key on dell inspirion 8100 supposed to get mapped into keycode? I have one user report that they would expect it to be mapped - see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LukaRenko/Keycodes10:05
mjg59Lure: Given that there's nothing to receive that code at the moment, no10:06
Luremjg59: if we have a fixed keycode, at least users can map it easily (xmodmap), but I agree this is not enough for out-of-box10:07

sladenLure: it appears that I was considering aliasing it to KEY_CONNECT10:28
Luresladen: I even though that all wifi keys were HW keys...10:29
gesersladen: any info on how to trigger a retry on the rebuild of gnome-mag?10:30
Luresladen: you mention battery as 236, but edgy returns 241 - is just doc wrong or is this supposed to change?10:30
crimsungeser: ask infinity to give it back10:31

Luremjg59: it is enough that I had too learn to much of xkb ... ;-)10:45
sivanghi pygi 10:46
pygisivang, hello you :)10:46
mjg59Lure: The kernel converts Linux keycodes (which appear from /dev/event) into things that look like AT keycodes (that appear from /dev/console)10:46
mjg59X reads them from the latter10:46
mjg59There's a table in /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/keyboard.c10:47
mjg59x86_keycodes[] 10:47
mjg59So for keycode 236, you look at the 236th entry and then take away 128, or something10:48
Luremjg59: I see - thanks for explaination10:49
pygisivang, poke, pm?10:50
