volvoguyhey folks, long time no talk! how are things in the ubuntu artwork world?12:12
Viper550Going excellently...12:12
volvoguyloverly! i've been trying to psych myself up to getting some work done here again.12:13
volvoguydid any community created stuff make it into dapper? i was helping with the release before that and there wasn't much communication between this group and canonical.12:19
Viper550Yeah, several themes12:19
=== zebedee [n=zebedee@88-109-44-180.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com] has joined #ubuntu-artwork
volvoguycool.12:20
Viper550And, we've got several new themes for Edgy coming along as well: Peace, Dash, Blubuntu, and my theme Tropic12:21
volvoguyi'm still most interested in SVG stuff, so i'll have to catch up with things on the wiki and see if there's anything i can do.12:21
volvoguynice... i've been patiently waiting all day to see knot-2 show up. are the new themes in the main repository or do we have our own CVS-type setup now?12:23
Viper550not quite yet, go to the wiki and you can find links to the ones in progress12:24
volvoguyokey dokey. :)12:24
volvoguyhave any of you heard if knot-2 is still expected today? they're busy arguing about sound card drivers in the main channel.12:26
Viper550https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Specs/EdgyArtworkPlan/ThemeTeams12:26
Viper550But from what I hear, Knot 2 Kubuntu has a new default theme12:26
volvoguycool. i've never really liked KDE, but i put knot-1 kubuntu on my canonical laptop and forced myself to use it for a while and now i'm really digging it.12:27
volvoguyTropic looks nice btw.12:30
Viper550Thanks, that's my theme! Wondering how it started?12:33
volvoguysure! :)12:34
Viper550Started out as a Silver, Green, and Orange theme using the gFlat engine12:34
Viper550I got all that from the lamps on my network router...12:34
volvoguyheh12:35
Viper550But then, I switched it over to Ubuntulooks12:35
volvoguyi actually like color combos like that.12:35
Viper550But then, some people complained about saturation and stuff like that, so I then tried it with just Orange, changing the direction alot.12:36
Viper550Tropic is now a tribute to the original Ubuntulooks theme from Flight 4 of Dapper (before it got caramelled)12:36
volvoguyyeah, i was kinda hoping it'd stay on the orange side.12:37
Viper550Then, I prepared to possibly move it to Murrine by porting it to Candido12:38
volvoguythat's where i get lost with theming - how the different engines fit in.12:39
Viper550Murrine is actually pretty nice12:39
volvoguyare the engines basically the widgets and different themes just color variations?12:40
Viper550yes.12:41
volvoguygotcha.12:41
volvoguythat's what i really wanted to push when i was overseeing things (breezy-era) - not necessarily more engines, but as many color variations as possible.12:43
volvoguythis group was created a little too late for breezy though, and i had to drop out of things shortly after that release.12:44
Viper550oh...12:45
Viper550But, every engine offers unique options and appearances12:45
volvoguyyeah. it would be nice though (and i think i've heard it's in the works) if the end user could pick a theme and choose their own color scheme - as  you can do in KDE and windows.12:47
volvoguyand i'm really looking forward to cairo-powered themes.12:48
Viper550That might be sorta a reality with QtCurve...12:48
Viper550But, Ubuntulooks, ClearLooks 2, and Murrine are Cairo12:48
volvoguyreally? even in dapper?12:48
Viper550Yes. But I don't think Clearlooks is. But on Fedora Core 5 (my distro), it comes with Cairo Clearlooks...AS THE DEFAULT THEME!12:49
zebedeeHi I am not sure how I got here and I am very new at Ubuntu, but I like it alot... I have a question if anyone is free to help... I am trying to use evolution mail and I keep gettin a msge saying @cold not send msge, broken pipe'... Can anyone tell me what this means and how to fix it, please. Thanks in advance Z12:52
volvoguyhey zebedee - you probably want to be over in the regular ubuntu channel.12:53
zebedeeTold you I was new at it, its supposed to read ...could not send msge.. How do I get there Heeeeeeeeelp...12:54
volvoguyi don't use IRC much myself, let's see if this works....12:54
volvoguytry typing "/join #ubuntu"12:54
volvoguywithout quotes12:55
zebedeelol...type it where?12:55
volvoguywhere you're typing everything else here. :)12:55

cbx33has the decision been made on usplash yet?03:58
sladencbx33: what decision?03:59
cbx33well, there was talk of a hi res one?03:59
cbx33and when i asked a few weeks ago03:59
cbx33i was told it was all in astate of flux03:59
sladencbx33: yes, what decision were you wondering about?04:00
cbx33well, my wife is doing the artwork for edubuntu04:00
cbx33we were wondering if we could start making the final images yet?04:00
cbx33ie what res, colour palette/indexing04:01
cbx33if you get my drift?04:01
cbx33hi kwwii04:02
kwwiihowdy cbx3304:02
kwwiifrom what I have gathered on opinions it seems that people are not so hot on the complexity of the startup sound as  well as the length04:03
cbx33ok sure04:18
cbx33well, it's quite close to FF now04:18
cbx33so I doubt I'll be able to pull together anythingnew04:19
cbx33unless you like any of the other sounds on that wiki page....04:19
cbx33I have some other coding to do that will run me ragged04:19
troy_sgive the sound some time04:45
troy_severyone has an opinion -- bikeshedding.04:45
troy_si suspect that is for kubuntu however...04:45

troy_sgreetz kwwii_ how goes it?10:04
kwwii_troy_s: pretty well, things are coming together pretty well for kubuntu edgy so far :-)10:05
troy_syou have a summary wiki page?10:05
troy_strying to work out a lot of the lower level details for Ub...10:05
PingunZkwwii_: I tested kubuntu edgy this today .. The art has really improved :) But, I'm not really sure of the purple color..10:06
troy_shttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Kubuntu-Edgy-Ideas is the most recent kwwii?10:06
kwwii_troy_s: well, there is one page with everything we updated a while back, and I will make one soon after knot2 impressions come back in10:07
troy_sdo you have the link kwwii?10:07
kwwii_troy_s: no, there is one slightly previous to knot210:07
kwwii_PingunZ: glad to here that you like it...the wallpaper will change soon10:07
troy_sdo you have the newer wallpaper?10:08
kwwii_troy_s: basically, I am cycling through the variants on the page you mentioned above10:08
troy_sahh.10:09
PingunZNo kwwii_ I'm talking about the purple in general .. The wallpaper is a LOT better than the dapper-default :)10:09
troy_swhat is it currently set to kwwii_ ?10:09
kwwii_PingunZ: everyone is pretty happy with the purple :-)10:09
PingunZBtw, I'd like a real picture in edgy too ... A flower or something like that, Is that possible ?10:09
kwwii_troy_s: here is an somewhat older page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyEft/Knot2/Kubuntu?highlight=%28knot2%2910:10
kwwii_PingunZ: everyone told me that they did not want my flower pic :-(10:10
PingunZkwwii_: I have some pics like that too, I liked your pic10:11
troy_sare you going with the vista buttons kwwii_ for the window manager?10:11
kwwii_troy_s: I am working through newtest5*.png on the page you mentioned10:11
kwwii_troy_s: they are not the vista buttons10:12
troy_sfade to top?10:12
troy_sor the newer?10:12
kwwii_the next one will be newtest5a.png10:12
troy_slooking10:12
kwwii_the vista buttons actually look totally different, but I do not really look at them anyway :-)10:12
PingunZLink ? so I can look too ( or is it secret :) ? )10:12
troy_sis that 'godrays' ? ;)10:13
kwwii_https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Kubuntu-Edgy-Ideas10:13
troy_sby vista i meant about the border extending into the window border...10:14
kwwii_I actually have never seen the vista buttons before10:14
kwwii_ever heard of an artist that was too lazy to steal?10:15
kwwii_:p10:15
troy_si only noted because i recently saw some screenshots...10:16
kwwii_in the window deco you can turn on several different style buttons, one of which is "vista" but they look totally different10:16
troy_sand there was some similarity there.  i actually don't mind much about that sort of thing.10:16
troy_shas mark been chatting with you regarding the look much?10:17
kwwii_I made them as I did but it was the only thing I had never done with a button before :-)10:17
kwwii_just trying to make something new10:17
troy_slaf10:17
troy_syep, sometimes it happens that way10:17
kwwii_troy_s: now and again we have discussed it, but it is more general like "I like that a lot!"10:17
kwwii_nothing nearly as specific as frank is getting, I think10:18
kwwii_at first he was skeptical of the purple10:18
kwwii_but I think he is convinved now :-)10:18
kwwii_I have received some really great remarks, actually10:18
troy_sthe violet is quite refereshing and at the very least it pulls it away from kde10:19
troy_swhich is nice.10:19
troy_si would hope so.10:19
kwwii_it seems to please everyone, and best of all, it does not totally piss anyone off10:19
troy_smy only thought is that you need to coordinate the packaging.10:19
troy_sblah ... you need to try and be willing to fail to really achieve anything.10:19
troy_ssuch is life.10:19
kwwii_everything that I have done as far as artwork is concerned is already packaged and in knot210:20
troy_show goes the packaging tones... i can see a fuddle coming up if it ends up blue hell with10:20
troy_sa violet experience.10:20
kwwii_the small pieces are included upstream (I get a kde dev to include my art in the package they maintain)10:20
troy_si think frank is going to push a crap of stuff into knot310:20
kwwii_he better, or there will not be time to test it10:20
troy_swell his tightrope is a little thinner than yours10:21
troy_s;)10:21
troy_sas you can imagine.10:21
kwwii_yepp10:21
kwwii_I told him that things get critical in the next few weeks he should call me10:22
troy_swell realistically everyone running edgy gets the daily updates10:22
troy_sso it isn't like a point to release etc...10:22
troy_sbut yes, i believe it is his plan to get what he can into edgy3 as a deadline.10:22
troy_snot that i can say for certain.10:22
troy_she is one of the more industrious fellows though, so i suspect he is well on it.10:23
kwwii_hehe, no doubt10:23
troy_sthe guy has done a crazy amount of work10:24
kwwii_he is a living adam ant song..."don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?"10:24
troy_sto really set up future cycle releases.10:24
troy_swhich is great...10:24
troy_sand the 80/20 ratio will generally provide enough difference to pull a good deal in line, assuming he can get it up the ladder...10:24
troy_swhich is probably about 90% of his effort at this point one would expect.10:25
troy_sits that very delicate tightrope ;)10:25
kwwii_I think that the next conf. in california would be a good time to sit down and figure out what we learned from edgy10:26
troy_si believe that is the plan10:27
troy_salthough i know not my schedule etc...10:27
troy_si haven't chatted to mark in about a week10:29
troy_si think he is on one of his busy weeks.  my schedule stinks of the late.10:29
troy_sweekends only for me, in very selective time plans.10:29
kwwii_he was on vacation this week (back now though, got an email)10:29
troy_syes it appears he returned a couple of days ago.10:29
kwwii_better too much work than too little ;-)10:29
troy_sarguable there :)10:30
troy_snot to mention that i have yet to figure out the most effective way of dealing with email gluts.10:30
kwwii_I met a group am american actors who were complaining about canadian film productions :-)10:30
kwwii_s/am/of10:31
troy_syay.10:31
troy_syou have anything cooking with oxygen etc?10:32
kwwii_yepp, it will be ready for kde4 :-)10:32
kwwii_we are working on getting it ready for trolltech atm10:32
troy_syou have a link to a study?10:33
kwwii_working on edgy has kinda gotten in the way of working on oxygen10:33
troy_sdo you have a study page of oxygen's current state?10:33
kwwii_the current oxygen stuff is in svn10:33

kwwii_well, there is always oxygen-icons.org10:36
kwwii_we updated the previews a month or two ago :-)10:36
troy_sahh... that's probably more what i am looking for.10:36
troy_sdid you change the default folder icon a bit iirc?10:37
kwwii_we are constantly changing it :-)10:38
troy_slaf10:38
kwwii_actually, that is pretty close to the final version10:38
kwwii_although I like the earlier perspective better10:38
troy_sit looks like the corners got rounded a little etc.10:38
kwwii_now we have to decide whether to use brown or blue10:38
troy_sor purple or green judging from that preview10:39
troy_sthat xara colour linking is pretty incredible10:39
kwwii_nahhhh, we only include the wierd colors for people to play with10:39
kwwii_I talked to sladen about including xara in ubuntu10:40
kwwii_and it looks like edgy+1 is doable10:40
PingunZIf my opinion is allowed the blue folder icons is the best from far :)10:40
sladenkwwii_: we're stuck in multiverse for the moment.  Bigger things for edgy+1 I think :)10:41
kwwii_hi sladen :-)10:41
kwwii_too bad for that, but multiverse is better than no-verse :-)10:42
