fschoeptroy_s: I'm here for a few more minutes01:46
kwwiihehe01:47
kwwiidude, what have you guys got working as far as a usplash goes?01:48
fschoepkwwii: not a lot, really01:54
kwwiifschoep: then we should stay in touch01:54
kwwiinow is when we can use cross-desktop understanding01:54
fschoepSo, I need something for tomorrow :)01:54
kwwiiI have some pics ready for both01:55
fschoepDoesn't matter what it looks like01:55
kwwiione with 256 and one with 16 colors01:55
fschoepIt can be blue / purple01:55
kwwiiI am unsure exactly how to animate the progress bar01:55
fschoepThat's something Seveas can explain probably01:55
kwwiiand the throbber is a funky thing, if the progress bar is already moving, in my opinion01:56
fschoepIt's still unclear whether or not Edgy will have a proper progress bar or a throbber only01:56
kwwiihehe01:57
Seveaskwwii, if you have a simple background+foreground image for progress bar, you can use the code from the example theme01:57
kwwiiuntil now, it says that we have to use a normal progress bar01:57
Seveasedgy still does normal progress bar now01:57
kwwiiSeveas: yeah, I checked that out now01:57
kwwiiSeveas: I started with wanting to draw boxes to make the progress bar (6-8 boxes)01:58
Seveaskwwii, alternatively, send me the images with a description of what you had in mind and I'll create the code01:58
kwwiiSeveas: cool, sounds good.01:58
kwwiiI started to look at the README and code tonight01:58
kwwiiand then the meeting started01:58
Seveasheh01:58
kwwiiI will look more closely into it tomorrow01:59
Seveasit's not too difficult, but assumes a certain amount of C knowledg01:59
kwwiiI have a *lot* of experience with the older linux bootsplash01:59
kwwiiso I think I can figure it out01:59
fschoepI'll get into it as well tomorrow, shouldn't be too hard01:59
kwwii:-)01:59
kwwiiI made the syntax of the bootsplash config files, actually01:59
SeveasI'll be online here or dennis@jabber.ubuntu-nl.org for questions02:00

kwwiiSeveas: what would be better: using a bitmap for the progress bar or drawing several boxes?02:00
Seveasbitmap is easier02:01
Seveasand looks nicer imho02:01
kwwiiSeveas: hehe, than that makes my job easier02:01
BHSPitLappytalking about usplash?02:01
kwwiiSeveas: I will ping you tomorrow about this stuff02:01
Seveaskwwii, ok, but not too early02:01
Seveashad 4h sleep last night02:01
Seveasand it's 2am02:01
kwwiiSeveas: don't worry, I am up all day02:02
kwwiiwe are in the same time zone02:02
kwwiiand I have a son02:02
kwwiihere is my first 256 color image: http://bootsplash.org/usplash_idea1256.png02:02
BHSPitLappycan someone comment on the last entry at wiki.ubuntu.org/UbuntuSounds , it feels lonely :)02:03
lapohey guys this work really is impressive http://huw.ugbox.net/UbuntuEvolve/02:04
lapono way to have it in edgy02:04
lapo?02:04
fschoepMaybe, I can't promise anything02:05
lapoI think it is the most original to date02:05
BHSPitLappyI think it looks cool, but... something about it just seems "too" messy to me02:06
BHSPitLappyand "messy" + ubuntu's color scheme = gross02:06
BHSPitLappyalso... wasn't today supposed to be the deadline for art decisions02:06
fschoepFeature Freeze, indeed02:07
yoshiznit123i like it, except for the gradient background and color, which seems out of place02:08
yoshiznit123and it would be cool if the ubuntu logo had the same style (with growing plants and stuff :-))02:08
Seveaskwwii, shiny!02:12
kwwii;-)02:13
kwwiitoo much soo, but you get the idea02:13
kwwiiI was working on making the progress bar in singular boxes02:13
Seveasnice first attempt02:13
kwwii:-)02:13
kwwiithe logo is kinda final02:14
kwwiiI will remove the glow02:14
lapokwwii: nice one, I'd try to make the gape between the circle and the top right gear more evident02:15
kwwiilapo: yeah, good point02:15
kwwiiI thought that the spacing between all the gears and the circle is a bit too tight02:15
BHSPitLappykwwii, does that progress bar look like the default progress bar widget that ships with kubuntu?02:15
kwwiihehe, nope02:16
kwwiiI guess not02:16
kwwiiI spent sooo much time trying to make everything the same02:16
kwwiiand then someone comes along and says that that is not important02:16
lapokwwii: I think the space is ok, I'd use something like a brighter o darker stroke/bevel like on the othe to02:16
kwwiilapo: sure, it needs lots of work, it is the result of half an hour02:17
lapocool tho02:17

troy_sNo haters.  It is quite a bit of effort to get the artwork 'working' in Ubuntu because we ultimately have sabdfl as a 'client'.05:03

troy_sSo it at least scaled properly.  The logo still needs a tweak -- the output cropped the alias off the bottom of the lettering.05:08
BHSPitLappysuuure05:08
troy_sThere could very well be a migration back to monochromatic however.05:09

kwwiihey man03:13
fschoephi03:13
kwwiiso I guess you have seen the example theme03:13
fschoepNo, didn't get to that yet - sounds stupid I know ;)03:14
kwwiihehe, I built it but it does not work on my eMac03:14
kwwiiand I don't want to mess up the system on my laptop03:15
fschoepI can understand that03:15
fschoepI just need *something* to get into Edgy right now03:15
kwwiibut checking out the pics in the source makes things clear03:15
fschoepas you probably gathered yesterday03:15
kwwiiwell, at the least, we could change the bg in the test theme, and the throbber pics03:16
kwwiithat would get something in now03:16
fschoepOK03:16
fschoepIt's in usplash-dev?03:16
kwwiiyepp03:16
fschoepAnd it needs to go into usplash-art?03:16
kwwiigood question, not sure03:16
fschoepWait I think someone said it in yesterday's meeting - Spotlight here we come03:16
fschoepKeybuk: remember that the usplash artwork should go in the themes packages03:18
fschoep[01:32am]  Keybuk: not in the usplash package03:18
kwwii;-)03:18
fschoepMaybe I should just go and check out the example and report back once I know more03:20
kwwiihehe, might be good03:20
kwwiibut removing the progress bar is not an option if I understood correctly?03:20
fschoepThe design can change a bit later on I presume, at least - I hope03:20
fschoepWhere did you read that?03:21
kwwiiI thought it was in a mail03:21
kwwiione second03:21
HiddenWolfat the very least it's not a good idea03:21
HiddenWolfpeople get nervous when they don't see progress indication during boot03:21
HiddenWolfI sure as hell do.03:21
fschoepOK sure, but replacing the progress bar with an animating throbber would work, no?03:21
fschoepLike WIndows and Mac OS X do?03:21
cbx33fschoep: hi03:21
fschoepReal progress indication is going away for Edgy (or +1) anyway03:22
fschoepcbx33: good to to you, sir03:22
HiddenWolfprobably, yes. :)03:22

fschoepkwwii: do you know if boot messages are still shown?03:23
kwwiifschoep: I think so03:24
fschoepSo there still needs to be an area for that?03:24
fschoepI really thought Keybuk was on the ball to remove those but I couldn't really make anything out of his update yesterdat evening so I very well might be wrong03:25
fschoepyesterday*03:25
=== kwwii looks into the theme file
kwwiiit appears to be shown in the example theme03:26
fschoepI see03:27
fschoepMaybe it *is* a better idea for me to check the code first :)03:27

Seveaskwwii, the example theme just showcases possibilities. But upstart doesn't have to use all that usplash has to offer. If you want to play safe, implement it all and scott can choose what he needs.05:28
Seveastroy_s, looking at gnome-session code, I really don't think a cairo based approach is the right thing to do for a shaped window. I'll look at the gnome splash screen code and try to do a similar thing for the logout window (and maybe even for the gksu window), but that's for edgy+105:30
kwwiiSeveas: the problem with that idea is that it seriously limits the art side of things05:31
Seveaskwwii, why?05:31
kwwiiSeveas: making a picture that looks good even though you cut out certain pieces just doesn't work very often05:31
Seveasah, right05:31
kwwiiwell, it is possible to get the greatest common denominator effect...but that is not ideal05:32
Seveasthen the art team has to summon sabdfl and kamion and make them decide what they want05:33
Seveass/kamion/keybuk/05:33
kwwiiat first, we are going to put something in based on the example theme, then when we slowly move forward with specific ideas and changes05:33
kwwiiSeveas: yeah, that is kinda what I was thinking last night at the meeting05:33
SeveasI liked imbrandons approach05:33
Seveasbtw: for edgy+1 I have a few more usplash ideas (more drawing primitives, better text support) and I'll implement it early in the cycle05:34

fschoepPingunZ: no07:32
Seveaskwwii, and yours?07:32
PingunZSeveas: I think you missed my question above :: How can I use your custom-usplash-theme ( I had an X crash when you explained me yesterday ) ?07:33
kwwiihere is my idea: http://bootsplash.org/usplash_idea1a.png07:33
SeveasPingunZ, now is not the time -- work to do07:34
SeveasI have 4.5 hours to create 6 usplash themes07:34
kwwiihehe07:34
PingunZOhw07:34
PingunZWell, tell me in 5 hours then ;)07:34
PingunZIf you need any help that doesn't require intelligence I'd like to help :)07:35
Seveaskwwii, could you send that to me as xcf, (btw, the contrast between progressbar and its background is too small)07:35
kwwiiI made mine as an SVG...should I send the png files (with the same palette, of course)07:35
kwwiiSeveas: yeah, that is what I thought too07:35
Seveaskwwii, if you send pngs, I need these:07:35
Seveas* Full progressbar07:35
Seveas* Empty one07:35
PingunZkwwii: That mockup with a scrolling logo would be sick :)07:35
Seveas* 800x600 rendering of image without progressbar07:35
Seveas* 1024x768 rendering07:35
kwwiiSeveas: I have versions of all the pics in the example-theme file07:36
Seveas* 1365x768 rendering, preferably even scaled to 1024x768 (NOT with imagemagick)07:36
kwwiiincluding the cropped one07:36
fschoepSeveas: I sent you the "design"07:36
kwwiiSeveas: cool, I'll send you them asap07:36
Seveasthe scaled one in the example is bad07:36
Seveasfschoep, great07:36
kwwiihehe, we had quite a discussion about scaling last time around07:36
fschoepkwwii: tell me about it ;)07:37

Seveasfschoep, I need the xcf of the theme or the rendering in the 3 resolutions I asked07:58
fschoepSeveas: oh dear, can't you clip the canvas?07:58
fschoepSeveas: I can't imagine an XCF adding a lot more data, but maybe I'm wrong07:59
Seveasfschoep, what's the resolution of the .png (too lazy to look) ;)07:59
fschoepLet me determine08:00
fschoep1600 by 1200 px08:01
Seveasthat'll do08:01
bersaceyoupi ! i have dputed my first package to revu :D08:01
Seveasbtw: shouldn't there be a xubuntu splash too??08:02
fschoepbersace: !08:02
fschoepSeveas: that is a good question, it's not my task to get that one in right now08:02
fschoepSeveas: there are also no Xubuntu developers in the weekly meeting08:03
PingunZAnd what about Edubuntu ?08:05
SeveasI think that if we get ubuntu and kubuntu in, edubuntu and xubuntu can be accepted post-freeze08:05
fschoepSeveas: indeed08:06
fschoepSeveas: I think, but it's only thinking, that Ubuntu and Kubuntu are the more rigidly controlled distro's.08:07
Seveasok, palette created, now to create the images08:07
kwwiiSeveas: sending you pics now08:08
PingunZ-- Me gets exited for the result --08:12
PingunZAnything I can do to help ? -- Not requiring a lot of skills ..08:13
fschoepPingunZ: high contrast icons ;)08:13
PingunZrofl fschoep, sorry I hate to make icons ..08:13
PingunZI listed them for you but I can't make icons ..08:13
fschoepPingunZ: is there a reason for it?08:13
fschoepI've got about five minutes before I need to run elsewhere, anyone want to discuss something right now?08:17
PingunZfschoep: I'm not good in small pictures .. :)08:18
fschoepPingunZ: I see, it's no problem I think bersace is on the ball08:18
bersacefschoep: say what ?08:18
PingunZbersace: Are you the high-contrast icon designer ?08:19
fschoepbersace: we were talking about the highcon icons08:19
bersaceah yes08:19
fschoepbersace: I said to PingunZ you were doing that a bit08:20
bersaceyep08:20
PingunZNIce :)08:20
fschoepbersace: going well?08:20
bersacebut i've stopped the work08:20
fschoepoh08:20
bersacefor some days08:20
fschoepPhew, no problem ;)08:20
fschoepIs the contact with Henrik going well?08:20
bersace(university registration, gnomescan uplaod to universe, gnome 2.18 roadmap, etc.)08:20
bersacein fact, the laptop i used to do the icon will come back this evening (in few minutes)08:21
fschoepI see :)08:21
bersacethen i'll be able to get back all to icons and work on it again :P08:21
fschoepGood, good, keep it up :)08:21
bersaceI would like to have a SVN at fd.o for a cross desktop highcon icon set08:21
fschoepThat sounds terrific, how did the KDE guys react?08:22
bersacequite well :)08:22
bersaceluckly :P08:22
fschoepDo I need to pitch in, or can Henrik help out maybe?08:22
fschoepSomething like high contrast Tango sounds awesome.08:22
bersaceyep08:22
bersacei would like to do something useful and reusable08:23
bersacei'll have to dive into icon-naming-utils and such08:23
fschoepIndeed, that's a great goal to achieve08:24
bersaceyep08:25
fschoepAlright, I got to go, it's been nice talking to you. Seveas if you need something to get the job done, mail / ping me or kwwii and we'll help you out immediately.08:25
fschoepThanks a lot again for your time.08:25
Seveasfschoep, it should be done in a fw minutes08:25
fschoepOK, great!08:25

PingunZSeveas: How is the usplash going ? ( You said it would be done in a few minutes, a few minutes ago  :) )08:46
SeveasPingunZ, I discovered a bug in usplash, so I'm fixing that first08:46
=== _ion [i=johan@kiviniemi.name] has joined #ubuntu-artwork
PingunZNice :)08:47
_ionBtw, now that gnome-background-properties supports "Style: Zoom", isn't the widescreen version of the Ubuntu background image redundant? Just set the default style for "Ubuntu Lagoon" as "Zoom", and it will work on every screen as expected.08:48
_ionThat also makes it work nicely on a dualscreen setup.08:49
_ionIn case anyone wonders what "Style: Zoom" does: on a 16:9 screen (or 8:3, as in my setup) it crops a 4:3 image from the top and the bottom so that it fits the screen's aspect ratio exactly.08:52
Seveasok bug fixed08:55

Seveasnow for yours ;)09:09
kwwii;-)09:11
kwwiiI sent you pics with the same indexed colors (unless I screwed up)09:12
PingunZSeveas: Is it the theme you're talking about // can I test it ?09:13
SeveasPingunZ, you can't test it09:13
PingunZ='(09:13
Seveasright now it will build but not install09:13

PingunZAh, well I just want to help :)09:30
PingunZIs there any way to shrink a .svg's ?09:30
_ionWhat do you mean by shrink?09:31
PingunZThe size09:32
kwwiiPingunZ: yes, open it in inkscape and then resize it09:32
PingunZSo it loads quicker --> Svg09:32
PingunZ*--> GDM09:32
kwwiihehe, the size of it has nothing to do with the loading time09:32
kwwiithe file size matters09:32
PingunZI meant that09:32
_iongzip it. :-)09:32
kwwiiclick on "clear defs" in the file menu09:32
PingunZOk :)09:32
kwwiigzipping it means it takes longer to load09:32
kwwiiremoving the extra definitions might help a bit09:33
kwwiitry to use primitives whenever possible09:33
kwwiipaths take up space09:33
kwwiiAI actually writes much smaller paths09:33
kwwiiso the file size is much smaller09:33
kwwiiit creates the same look with fewer nodes09:34
PingunZkwwii: Does the page size influence the file size ?09:34
kwwiiPingunZ: nope09:34
PingunZAh ok09:35
PingunZSo I just click vacuum defs09:35
PingunZand that's it ?09:35
kwwiiyep09:35
kwwiiremove any unused objects and get rid of any layers09:35
PingunZDone that :)09:35
PingunZIts for the blubuntu gdm btw ;)09:35
kwwiicool :-)09:36
kwwiiif you use the same path twice link it from the orig instead of copying and pasting it (but I admit that I am too lazy to do that)09:36
PingunZkwwii: you mean in the xml code of the GDM ?09:37
kwwiiPingunZ: nope, I mean in the SVG itself09:38
PingunZOh, sorry :)09:38
PingunZBah, it loads quick enough now09:38
PingunZI stripped the .xml file, user a .jpg as background, ..09:39
PingunZkwwii: You designed the Suse GDM right ? It only has a 800*600 .jpg picture as background09:41
kwwiiPingunZ: yes, I made it, but no it does not only have that size of image09:42
Seveaskwwii, kubuntu theme finished too09:43
Seveasnow what?09:43
kwwiiSeveas: take a break! have a beer on me :-)09:44
Seveashehe09:44
SeveasI though it had to go in today ;)09:44
kwwiiSeveas: thanks so much for taking care of this stuff...it would have taken me 3 times as long09:44
Seveaskwwii, more09:45
Seveasyou wouldn't have succeeded09:45
Seveasbut that's my fault09:45
SeveasThere was a bug in usplash, and one in the example theme09:45
PingunZSeveas: Can I use/test it now ? :P09:45
SeveasPingunZ, neither09:46
Seveasthey will make current usplash segfault09:46
PingunZWhen will I ba able to ?09:46
kwwiilol09:46
kwwiithen I really am lucky ;-)09:46
SeveasI'm waiting for a core-dev to upload a fixed usplash09:46
PingunZOh09:46
PingunZWhat's the ETA for it to be ready ?09:47
Seveasthe fix is there09:48
Seveasjust needs to be uploaded09:49
PingunZYay, that doesn't take long I hope :)09:49
PingunZSo then we will have it in the repo's and be able to use it ?? :)09:49
Seveaskwwii, pushed some people around, uploads should happen soon10:12
PingunZThen I can just upgrade ? :)10:15
PingunZAny screenshots Seveas ?10:15
kwwiiSeveas: excellent!10:15
SeveasPingunZ, i don't have any vm's lying around for that10:15
Seveasscary though, I had a kubuntu usplash for a while10:16
SeveasEven though I really don't like kde at all10:16
kwwii:p10:16
PingunZSeveas: The background image ?10:16
kwwiilol10:16
=== PingunZ doesn't like kde either
=== kwwii either
kwwiiI LOVE IT!!!10:17
PingunZkwwii: you don't like gnome then ?10:17
kwwiiPingunZ: no, I have nothing against gnome10:17
PingunZI always get lost in kde :)10:17
kwwiiheck, many of the programs I use are gtk :-)10:18
PingunZKonquerror -> Eww :)10:18
kwwiikonqueror is my favorite part10:18
PingunZ^^10:18
kwwiisince it can do everything10:18
kwwiiit is like a swiss arm knife of browsing10:18
PingunZrofl10:19
kwwiiI have one window open with file browsing tabs, websites in tabs, several ftp connections in tabs, and SVN in tabs10:19
PingunZSeveas: Perhaps now you have the time to tell me how to use you custom usplash theme -> the one from the video.10:20
kwwiiopen the embeded terminal too and you are in business10:20
SeveasPingunZ, that probably won't work anymore10:20
kwwiiheck with konqueror you almost do not need the rest of kde anymore :p10:20
PingunZSeveas: Too bad, I liked the look :)10:20
PingunZkwwii: If you type in ' google ' in konquerror, does it automatically links to google.com ?10:21
kwwiiPingunZ: type "gg: searchphrase"10:24
kwwiiin kubuntu, if you only type a phrase in it will use locate:10:26
kwwiiwhich is a local search, naturally10:26
PingunZAh ok10:26
PingunZIs konquerror as quick as FF ?10:27
kwwiito be honest, I never tested the difference10:28
kwwiiI use firefox for certain pages that require it specifically10:29
