troy_swho_ what is up?05:36
Who_I'm doing Blubuntu stuff and Im tempted to add some largeglowing line arcs accross everything05:36
Who_thoughts05:36
troy_shrm... not really... depends on how it integrates with your icons/ rest of desky i would suppose.05:37
Who_troy_s: yea - exactly - I can make it integrate nicely with GDM, wallpaper, lsplash, usplash, but perhaps not the icons...05:38
troy_sits a bit tricky...05:38
troy_sif it is prominent, perhaps you can utilize another motif from the icons to make it cohesive?05:39
Who_well, with Inkscape it is easy to have a version with a layer for the circles that is hidden05:39
troy_sor if it is subtle, you might be able to get away with it by customizing a few icons.05:39
troy_sof the more highly visible sort.05:39
Who_yea - I'm afraid the icons have hit a bit of a time stump this realease - I haven't got custom ones yet05:39
troy_syep05:45
troy_sso you are sort of forced to 'fit in'05:45

PingunZping troy_s12:21
PingunZI had an idea for the new structure of ubuntu-art ... ( not the forum idea )12:22
PingunZSeperate teams in ubuntu art ( wallpaper, icons, ... )12:22
PingunZSo that if people want to join the team, they select what they are good in .12:23
PingunZAnd dont get mails about usplash if they dont know anything about it..12:23
PingunZAnd every ' team ' would have its team leader(s) who approve or dismiss the art they made.12:24
PingunZSo mainly the GTK team asks a nice metacity for its team --> they send their request to the Ubuntu art ( core team ), they approve the request, mail it to the Metacity team. They make one, it gets approved by the Metacity-Leaders and get sent to the GTK team.12:27
PingunZAny comments ? :)12:27
MadpilotPingunZ, splitting the GTK & Metacity teams seems awkward - rather just one Desktop Theme team, if we're going to split stuff up12:28
PingunZMadpilot: I'm sorry, what does awkward mean ?12:28
Madpilot"too much work", in this case12:29
PingunZah ok :)12:29
MadpilotGTK & Metacity are so intertwined in the whole look of a theme that splitting them doesn't seem to make much sense12:29
PingunZWell, we could put those together12:30
PingunZThe base is that Icon makers dont have to make Usplash.12:30
Madpilotya12:30
PingunZAnd if they can they just subcribe to that mailing list too ..12:30
PingunZBut you certainly have a point for the metacity & GTK team .12:31
PingunZIMO this would be more structured ..12:32
PingunZAnd ( IMO again ;) ) artists would know better what they have to do.12:32
PingunZbrb12:33
PingunZb12:35
PingunZMadpilot: Do you like the general idea ? Or12:35
PingunZ*Or was it just the GTK/metacity thing ?12:36
Madpilotnot entirely, TBH. I think one mailing list & a combined team work right now; the art team isn't big enough to warrent splitting up...12:36
Madpilotplus, with a combined team/mailing list/etc, you get crossover of ideas - people see a wallpaper idea and use the concept in a splash, or vice-versa12:37
PingunZThat what I was worried about too. But then you'll have the Icon theme --> They know exactly what to do.12:37
PingunZThat crossover thing might be right ... I'm thinking about a solution ..12:39
PingunZWell, Team leaders communicate with other team leaders, they see a nice wallpaper, tell the Splash team about it and tadam !12:41
PingunZBah I dont think this idea will come true anyway ..12:41

lgespeehello08:09
lgespeedoes anybody of you know about an Human style GDM theme with face browser?08:09
PingunZlgespee, look on gnome-look, face browsers wont be in ubuntu's default install cause of security reasons.08:14
lgespeePingunZ: alright thanks, I can accept the choice, it is just that a "normal" user I installed Ubuntu for last week didn't want to retype his name everytime08:15
lgespeePingunZ: but thanks08:15
PingunZlgespee, you can enable autologin08:15

PingunZah08:15
PingunZlook around on gnome-look. they have lots of nice face-browsers.08:16
lgespeePingunZ: but there are face browser themes in Ubuntu default install, there was a Gnome one in it08:16
lgespeePingunZ: it just looks ugly a blueish login and then a Human style desktop08:16
PingunZI didn't know that. I like face browsers too but the idea got dismissed..08:16
lgespeePingunZ: I will do that, I couln't find any on art.gnome.org but didn't look any further08:17
PingunZlgespee, you could change the background image ?08:17

PingunZYes, just made a copy on my hard-drive and I'm now taking a look at it in ubuntu10:45
PingunZI really don't like SuSE10:45
andreasnah, I see10:45
Viper550All you need is Slab...10:45
PingunZI have slab up and working yet10:45
PingunZA much better version than the suse one.10:46
Viper550Ubuntu System Panel10:46
andreasnyeah, jimmac did great work with gdm, splashes and stuff10:46
andreasnthat guy is great10:46
PingunZI prefer slab to USP.10:46

andreasnhm, so it's like slab, but slightly different and written i python?10:50
Viper550Yep!10:50
PingunZandreasn, and it takes half of your screen :)10:51
andreasnwow, that is weird10:51
andreasnwell, I guess people are free to do whatever they like with their own time10:52
PingunZHaha that's a nice way of saying it :)10:56
PingunZI'm building and installing a new hack of slab.10:57
andreasnwell, I'm not trying to bash it in any way, I mean, the current system with categories is less than optimal10:58
Viper550Soon, Kickoff will be the big thing10:58
PingunZKickoff ?10:58
PingunZnever heard of that before10:58
andreasn"After the release of the SLED menu and seeing that it was so popular with Ubuntu users, I took it upon myself to do something of our own."10:58
andreasnof our own?10:58
PingunZYes, stealing it from Suse10:59
PingunZ-_-10:59
Viper550IT'S OPEN SOURCE! Come on, it's even on Gnome CVS!10:59
andreasnstealing and stealing10:59
andreasnI'm more afraid of the "Not Invented Here" attitude10:59
PingunZI'm not against it, but they stole it :)11:00
andreasnPingunZ: how do you mean? stole what?11:00
Viper550http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/2283 (Kickoff)11:00
andreasnyeah, Kickoff seems nice as well11:00
PingunZYes, kickoff seems very nice. Too bad its kde-only.11:02
andreasnwell, slab seems to solve the same problems as kickoff (and vice versa)11:04
Viper550Oh yeah, this might be a bit hard to customize for other distros, since the eyes move on the lizard!11:04
andreasnk11:05
andreasn11:05
andreasnsorry, my keyboard is weird11:05
andreasn:)11:05
andreasnPingunZ: did you get anywhere with the splash screen for gnome.org? I haven't followed the discussion of that too close11:06
PingunZandreasn, I made a mockup and other people created new splashes.11:07
andreasndid they turn out good?11:08
PingunZThey are not bad ..11:09
andreasnI'm really glad you picked that up11:09
PingunZBah, I didn't do a lot actually11:10
PingunZBut they seem to like the text ' Simply Powerful'11:10
andreasnit's a smashing concept!11:11
PingunZOk, I hacked the new slab code .. now building it  :)11:12
PingunZShite, errors ..11:13
andreasnhope slab get into gnome upstream soon11:13

PingunZthey use a 10.24*768 .jpeg files as background O_o11:29
viper550With the new buttons and gradient?11:29
kwwii_viper550: you mean the window deco buttons and gradient?11:29
viper550Yeah..11:29
andreasnPingunZ: you can probably ask jimmac if he did any special voodoo, he's on vacation right now though11:30
viper550He didn't do any special voodoo, I think his wallpaper just scales well11:30

PingunZand that is easy to accomplish :)11:31
=== cbx33 [n=pete@ubuntu/member/cbx33] has joined #ubuntu-artwork
PingunZWhat makes suse look so good is that they have art everywhere, gfxboot, nice bootsplash, nice login window, nice splash screen, nice wall, ...11:32
PingunZThey are all based on the wallpaper11:33
viper550Yeah, I dig how they've did it, ever since Novell took over, they've been looking good!11:33
PingunZThe splashes of opeoffice etc are based on the wallpaper too ..11:33
viper550Yeah, CONSISTANCY IS THEIR BIG BUSINESS11:33
PingunZI think we should inspire the human theme on the wallpaper too11:34
PingunZand create a very nice wallpaper ;)11:34
PingunZSuse always looks different too, 9.* was fresh green, 1011:34
PingunZ*10.* is blue, ...11:34
PingunZThey don't care about a default color, they just make a very polished distro. In whatever the color is.11:35
kwwii_well, I made everything from 5.3 to 10.011:35
viper550Yeah, 9.2 was a deep Cyan, 9.3 was Green, 10 was Blue, 10.1 was a cyanish again, and 10.2 is a very deep bright blue in places!11:35
PingunZ*polished distro == art :)11:35
PingunZI think Suse's OS sucks but the art is incredible.11:36
PingunZFor new users Suse is a keeper because it looks so good.11:36
PingunZI'd like to see very new and fresh art in ubuntu11:37
kwwii_hehe, I built a tradition, what luck11:37
viper550Yeah, make our distro cooler!11:37
viper550(how do you apply diff files?)11:37
kwwii_I have done better work in the last 6 months for kubuntu than I ever did in the last 7 years at suse11:37

viper550Just wondering Andreas, do you know how to intergrate .diff files into source code?12:03
PingunZHey, can I have your opinions/suggests on this, I'm a beginning artist, new to linux and willing to learn ( a lot ) of making linux-art. Atm I use gnome So i'd prefer to make gnome-related art. Where do I start ? I've been hanging around in the ubuntu-art section fow a few weeks now but I'm not experienced enough to create really nice art. So, where do I start ? I'd like to contribute a lot in edgy+1.12:03
andreasnviper550: I'm totally lost when it comes to stuff like that12:03
viper550oh12:04
andreasnviper550: I just draw stuff :)12:04
viper550oh12:04
PingunZbah, apperently not :)12:05
