| joejaxx | hello all | 06:17 |
|---|---|---|
| joejaxx | i was wondering if you all knew who did the ubuntu splash? | 06:22 |
| troy_s | ping | 07:07 |
| troy_s | which splash? usplash or logon splash? | 07:07 |
| troy_s | joejaxx? | 07:07 |
| joejaxx | troy_s: yes | 07:09 |
| joejaxx | the usplash | 07:09 |
| troy_s | which one? | 07:10 |
| troy_s | do you have a screenshot? | 07:10 |
| troy_s | because one is a temporary placeholder | 07:10 |
| joejaxx | troy_s: i meant the dapper one:) | 07:10 |
| troy_s | usplash in dapper is msikma | 07:10 |
| joejaxx | oh ok | 07:11 |
| troy_s | all known credits are in the archives | 07:11 |
| troy_s | of the wiki | 07:11 |
| joejaxx | does he or she come on often? | 07:11 |
| joejaxx | troy_s: oh i did not know that | 07:11 |
| troy_s | he. and yes you can contact him via the mailing list, launchpad, etc. | 07:11 |
| joejaxx | oh alright | 07:12 |
| joejaxx | i was just wondering because i develop Fluxbuntu and i was wondering if he could help make a splash | 07:12 |
| joejaxx | troy_s: right now it looks like this | 07:12 |
| joejaxx | troy_s: btw i am graphically-disinclined | 07:13 |
| joejaxx | troy_s: http://fluxbuntu.org/usplash.png | 07:13 |
| troy_s | i am sure he would be interested in helping you. | 07:13 |
| joejaxx | troy_s: oh ok :) | 07:13 |
| troy_s | he collaborated on the edgy usplash | 07:13 |
| troy_s | but of course, most likely, all of the edgy artwork will revert to dapper's look. | 07:13 |
| joejaxx | troy_s: oh ok | 07:14 |
| joejaxx | i have not seen the new edgy splash actually | 07:14 |
| Madpilot | troy_s, no new look for edgy, hmm? Too bad, but I'm not terribly surprised. | 07:14 |
| troy_s | usplash has been revised and updated by sev eas in this channel | 07:14 |
| troy_s | madpilot -- its a political fest. | 07:14 |
| troy_s | i am sure there will be a last minute rush to get something out the door. | 07:14 |
| Madpilot | this has been the art team's shakedown release; DocTeam went thru this w/ Breezy then got it's sh*t together for Dapper | 07:15 |
| troy_s | joejaxx you know of the newer usplash implementation? | 07:15 |
| Madpilot | then kind of slumped for Edgy... :| | 07:15 |
| joejaxx | troy_s: no i do not | 07:15 |
| troy_s | madpilot -- it is a little more than getting shit together. | 07:15 |
| joejaxx | troy_s: you mean the one that supports 256 colours? | 07:15 |
| troy_s | joejaxx yes | 07:15 |
| troy_s | and animation | 07:15 |
| joejaxx | wow really? | 07:16 |
| joejaxx | is there any documentation on it? | 07:16 |
| troy_s | joejaxx yes. it is quite capable now. your best information source is sev eas in this channel. | 07:16 |
| joejaxx | ah ok | 07:16 |
| troy_s | Madpilot -- ultimately there is one client and his aesthetic is a bit tough to locate without an extensive bit of design book citing. | 07:17 |
| Madpilot | troy_s, true - at least documentation is a bit more objective | 07:18 |
| troy_s | currently there are a number of issues to resolve, some of which _might_ get addressed at the next summit. | 07:18 |
| troy_s | Madpilot well ultimately the ubuntu distribution probably needs to seriously evaluate exactly what it is. the name, the ethics, etc, all connote a certain directionality to design -- even though there isn't a concrete outline / motif in place. | 07:19 |
| troy_s | Madpilot further, in order to be distinctive, it is going to require an overarching style, unless everyone is happy heading into the "middle gray" school of thought. | 07:19 |
| Madpilot | "corporate grey" :) | 07:20 |
| troy_s | Madpilot exactly. | 07:20 |
| Madpilot | "corporate blue" would be more accurate for desktops | 07:20 |
| troy_s | Madpilot well blue is well overdone | 07:21 |
| troy_s | Madpilot and anyone who attempts to bring up the "psychology of colour" should do a little research, as all research in that area has yielded completely different results. | 07:21 |
| troy_s | colour is learned and societal. | 07:21 |

| troy_s | well that was fun | 07:32 |
| joejaxx | :) | 07:47 |
| joejaxx | troy_s: you want to see two wallpapers that are included? | 07:48 |
| troy_s | for dapper? | 07:48 |
| troy_s | wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Archives should have them | 07:48 |
| troy_s | or are you speaking for fluxbox? | 07:48 |
| joejaxx | for fluxbuntu | 07:48 |
| troy_s | oh yes... i would love to. | 07:48 |
| joejaxx | http://fluxbuntu.org/sneakpeek.png | 07:49 |
| joejaxx | http://fluxbuntu.org/sneakpeek2.png | 07:49 |
| troy_s | flux is lovely. i was a diehard blackbox fan for the longest time. | 07:50 |
| joejaxx | :) | 07:50 |
| troy_s | i though the default look of flux was similar to the default look of blackbox? | 07:51 |
| troy_s | cthulhu look or whatever it was. | 07:51 |
| joejaxx | yes that theme is called choke | 07:51 |
| joejaxx | the default one is MEta | 07:51 |
| joejaxx | Meta | 07:51 |
| troy_s | choke? | 07:52 |
| joejaxx | yes | 07:52 |
| troy_s | joejaxx do you have anyone who is responsible for the artwork in flux? | 07:54 |
| troy_s | because i know that there are probably a few people who are adept in the team who might enjoy tackling such a project. | 07:54 |
| troy_s | anyways, i must be off to bed due to earlier call tomorrow. | 07:55 |
| joejaxx | yes there are people but anyone is welcome to contribute :) | 07:55 |
| troy_s | be good joejaxx | 07:55 |
| joejaxx | troy_s: oh alright | 07:55 |
| joejaxx | troy_s: yes i will | 07:55 |
| troy_s | joejaxx contact the list | 07:55 |
| joejaxx | troy_s: goodnight :) | 07:55 |
| joejaxx | troy_s: ok | 07:55 |
| troy_s | joejaxx -- pretty certain that msikma might be able to help you out a little -- even provide a derivative of the edgy usplash | 07:55 |
| troy_s | which would be nice in terms of consistency... | 07:56 |
| troy_s | ok. be good. | 07:56 |

| fschoep | troy_s: don't hide I'll be waiting here for an eternity to talk to you :) | 11:09 |
| msikma | joejaxx: I am now. | 11:13 |
| joejaxx | msikma: :) | 11:13 |
| joejaxx | msikma: i am the developer of fluxbuntu and i was wondering if you could help make a usplash for us | 11:13 |
| joejaxx | msikma: our usplashes work | 11:14 |
| joejaxx | but the palettes are not correct | 11:14 |
| joejaxx | fschoep: :P | 11:19 |
| fschoep | joejaxx: Hi there :) | 11:20 |
| joejaxx | fschoep: hello :) | 11:20 |
| fschoep | Fluxbuntu eh/ | 11:20 |
| fschoep | I used Fluxbox for a while | 11:20 |
| fschoep | Then I figured my machine could run KDE | 11:20 |
| fschoep | And GNOME | 11:20 |
| joejaxx | ah | 11:20 |
| fschoep | But Fluxbox still attracts me somehow | 11:20 |
| joejaxx | that is why we are here the project anyway | 11:21 |
| fschoep | It's very lightweight | 11:21 |
| joejaxx | fluxbuntu runs on a vast amount of computers | 11:21 |
| joejaxx | :) | 11:21 |
| fschoep | How is the project going? | 11:21 |
| joejaxx | it is going quite well | 11:21 |
| fschoep | Good to hear | 11:21 |
| fschoep | Are you the only core dev? | 11:21 |
| joejaxx | i am going to be releasing Revision 2 in two days | 11:21 |
| joejaxx | fschoep: i am the lead developer but there are others on the development team | 11:21 |
| fschoep | I see | 11:22 |
| fschoep | Do you have a project page (too lazy to search right now) ? | 11:22 |
| joejaxx | fluxbuntu.org | 11:22 |
| fschoep | I should've known :) | 11:22 |
| joejaxx | :) | 11:22 |
| fschoep | Ah, nice site - very lightweight as well with the whites and greens | 11:22 |
| joejaxx | thanks | 11:23 |
| joejaxx | yes it is | 11:23 |
| fschoep | Who created the design? | 11:23 |
| joejaxx | it survived a digg effect | 11:23 |
| fschoep | Whoa :) | 11:23 |
| joejaxx | fschoep: it is an open source design i picked it out to compliment the lightwieghtness of fluxbuntu | 11:23 |
| fschoep | I see, good choice though | 11:23 |
| fschoep | Have you considered tweaking the CSS a bit? | 11:24 |
| joejaxx | which parts? | 11:24 |
| fschoep | The light green link color should be a tad bit darker to improve readability | 11:24 |
| joejaxx | interesting | 11:24 |
| joejaxx | i will take that into consideration | 11:24 |
| joejaxx | i will change that tonight | 11:24 |
| fschoep | I usually use a tool to evaluate such things: | 11:25 |
| fschoep | http://www.snook.ca/technical/colour_contrast/colour.html | 11:25 |
| joejaxx | wow thanks | 11:25 |
| fschoep | No problem, don't spend too much time twiddling with the colors, your distribution is what counts :) | 11:26 |
| fschoep | For reference, your background is FFFFFF and the link color itself is "8cd749" | 11:27 |
| fschoep | Enter it and see the result :) | 11:27 |
| fschoep | You might want to try the websafe #009900 color for the link | 11:28 |
| fschoep | Anyway, let's get to the interesting part | 11:28 |
| fschoep | Do you have some screenshots up? | 11:28 |
| joejaxx | fschoep: yes | 11:28 |
| joejaxx | for the new one | 11:28 |
| joejaxx | http://fluxbuntu.org/sneakpeek.png & sneakpeek2.png | 11:29 |
| joejaxx | the default is the second one | 11:29 |
| joejaxx | but the firstone is included also | 11:29 |
| joejaxx | first one* | 11:29 |
| joejaxx | wallpaper wise i mean | 11:29 |
| fschoep | Looking good! | 11:31 |
| fschoep | I notice icons on the desktop, is that a new feature in Fluxbox? | 11:31 |
| joejaxx | no | 11:32 |
| joejaxx | that is rox | 11:32 |
| fschoep | I see | 11:32 |
| joejaxx | and to make an icon on there | 11:32 |
| joejaxx | all you do it drag sometihng to there | 11:32 |
| joejaxx | fschoep: it can be turned off if it is not to your liking | 11:33 |
| fschoep | Oh, I think I'd like it | 11:33 |
| joejaxx | :) | 11:33 |
| fschoep | I always tweaked my menu file to have apps right in my menu when I opened it, but this is nice as well | 11:33 |
| joejaxx | well the menu updates in fluxbuntu | 11:33 |
| fschoep | I used Fluxbox at release 0.9.7 I think | 11:33 |
| joejaxx | like for the alpha rev1 release i installed firefox and it came up in my menu afterwards | 11:34 |
| joejaxx | fschoep: oh ok | 11:34 |
| fschoep | Auto menu updates is nice, my distribution (I think Mandrake 8.2 or so) didn't have that at the time for Fluxbox :) | 11:34 |
| joejaxx | :) | 11:35 |
| fschoep | troy_s: Are you there by chance? | 11:36 |
| fschoep | msikma: Are you there? | 11:37 |
| fschoep | Seveas: Are you there? | 11:40 |
| fschoep | I seem a bit desperate for a chat, but this is normal, folks :) | 11:40 |
| joejaxx | fschoep: i think everyone is away at the current moment :\ | 11:40 |
| fschoep | You're here, right ;) ? | 11:40 |
| joejaxx | yeah :) | 11:40 |
| joejaxx | i am just in alot of channels | 11:40 |
| joejaxx | ~40 | 11:41 |
| fschoep | That's a lot indeed, I'm only in here | 11:41 |
| joejaxx | all on different servers | 11:41 |
| joejaxx | fschoep: :) | 11:41 |
| fschoep | Whoa and you're not going insane? | 11:41 |
| joejaxx | nope lol | 11:41 |
| fschoep | When I started in July I hated IRC | 11:41 |
| fschoep | I'm getting used to it slowly | 11:41 |
| fschoep | I might start to like it even | 11:41 |
| joejaxx | fschoep: :) | 11:42 |
| fschoep | troy_s: I know it's the other way around usually, but if you have a few minutes... | 12:01 |
