Viper550kwwii is back?! Yay!12:47
kwwiiyeah, /me is back from Ireland12:48
Viper550I noticed Kubuntu 6.10 Beta looks very awesome12:49
kwwiidid a bit of work on a kubuntu kmenu icon while I was there12:49
kwwiiViper550: thanks :-)12:49
Viper550Cool, everything is looking great...but at first I thought the panel background was mine!12:49
kwwiiyeah, it was really based on yours12:50
kwwiithe same idea12:50
kwwiiI tried to make it a bit softer12:50
kwwiinot sure if there is a real difference, in the end12:50
Viper550Oh...mine wasn't soft enough?12:51
kwwiiwell, when I look at them that is the impression I get, perhaps I am silly though12:51
kwwiiI spent a week on a bunkbed12:51
kwwiiquite tired12:51
Viper550Yeah, bunkbeds do that to you :P12:52
kwwiiViper550: what do you think about turning on the "colorize to bg color" option?12:52
kwwiidude, I am 35 with an 8 year old child, I do not need a bunkbed12:52
Viper550That's another option I've been looking at/promoting, not many distros enable it on their KDE, would give us some originality12:53
kwwiifrom what I have heard so far, people like it colorized12:55
kwwiiI think we should try it out12:55
Viper550Yeah, I even use mine colorized, since it colors along with the color scheme used, it will complete our purple makeover!12:56
Viper550still there?01:01
kwwiisorry, in the bathroom01:04
kwwiihehe, yeah01:04
kwwiiit is actually a blue color, but in the darker colors it looks purplle01:05
Viper550Oh yeah, I still think that offical Usplash for Kubuntu is nice!01:05
kwwiiI have seen many computers where it looks more blue01:05
kwwiiI think we could still make the Usplash a bit neaer01:05
kwwiineater01:05
kwwiiI though about makng the same lines as the wallpaper only set on a black bg, mainly tranparent01:06
Viper550hmm...01:11
kwwiiI would like to use the wallpaper in the usplash, but with the logo and progress bar it is too many colors01:14
kwwiiwell, really, even without the logo and the progress bar it is too many colors01:14

troy_sgreetings openstandards06:09
troy_sinteresting handle06:09
OpenStandardsHi :)06:10
OpenStandardstroy_s, do you know the link to where I can find the ubuntu colour scemes?06:13
troy_swell... i would love to say yes06:14
troy_sthere are 'official' colours06:15
troy_sbut they are not adhered to in _any_ respect06:15
troy_sare you referring to dapper?06:15
troy_sthe current jumbled up mess in dapper has no consistency what so ever, so you could basically sample the bits and use them.06:16
troy_sthe logo HAS been implemented consistently06:16
OpenStandardsjust the offical colour set06:16
troy_sand the colours are located in http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Official06:16
troy_sagain though, don't expect seamless integration with the other colours as there has been _zero_ design adherence in dapper on that.06:16
OpenStandardsok then06:17
troy_sthe logo colours _are_ adhered to06:17
troy_sregarding the circle of friends colours06:17
troy_sbut that is where the consistency stops unfortunately.06:17
troy_swe tried to establish somewhat of a more consistent palette approach for edgy, but that is going to be reverted to the dapper look.06:18
OpenStandardswill a different palette be used in the future?06:19
troy_si am trying to convince mark to do this06:19
troy_sbut first i think the trust relationship needs to develop with some folks.06:20
troy_sdon't expect it in the short term (6 months)06:21
OpenStandardsi'm surpised he hasn't gone with an idea of seasons06:21
troy_si like that idea too.06:21
troy_sbut effectively, the aesthetic is all over the board06:21
troy_sand there exists a serious discontinuity between the primary elements (gdm/icons/wallpaper/etc)06:21
troy_swhich, hopefully, we can work towards resolving.06:22
troy_sunfortunately, the attempts from this cycle have failed to meet his acceptance.06:22
OpenStandardswhats happening will the guidelines be simular to tango in the future06:23
troy_swell i would like to see clearer guidelines than even tango's06:23
troy_sthat said, there needs to be an agreement on a fundamental set of issues like palette, motifs, etc.06:24
troy_swhich currently there isn't.06:24
troy_sthere are three primary avenues to achieving visual harmony06:25
troy_scolour, thematic, and repetition06:25
OpenStandardsyou british?06:25
troy_sthus far, ubuntu meets exactly _zero_ of those requirements.06:25
troy_sno06:25
OpenStandardsyou spelt colour like a brit :)06:25
troy_s(with the exception being that a good subset of the icons meet the repetition element)06:25
troy_s(and colour)06:25
troy_syes i am canadian06:25
troy_sso we spell several words in the british derivative.06:26
troy_sdo you develop work OpenStandards ?06:26
OpenStandardswell looking to06:26
troy_sis your handle registered with nickserv?06:27
OpenStandardsyeah it is06:27
troy_si must head out06:28
troy_sfeel free to email me to discuss things further06:28
troy_sok?06:28
OpenStandardswill do, thanks06:28

shawarma...so.. if the gdm screen in current Edgy is not going to be in edgy when it releases.. what is?10:07
fschoepshawarma: a brand new design10:07
troy_sbasically nothing will change10:07
troy_sfundamentally10:07
shawarmafschoep: Can it be seen anywhere?10:07
fschoepshawarma: inspired by Dapper's version, updated to reflect some new visuals10:07
fschoepshawarma: it's being created as we speak10:07
fschoepfschoep: well, it should be being created as we speak10:07

shawarmaFWIW, when I saw the current one, I was totally blown away.10:08
troy_si can tell you i won't be bothering10:08
fschoepThat sounds a bit too jaded I think10:08
troy_si just don't have the time of late10:08
troy_sthis show is gearing up into full bore10:08
fschoepI can understand10:08
troy_sand i have tried to negotiate the issues10:08
troy_swhich fundamentally end up back where we started10:08
fschoepYes, but nobody is pointing a finger towards you Troy, you did an excellent job.10:09
troy_si am not concerned about myself actually10:10
troy_si don't mind any of the effort.  i was more hopeful to look at the overarching design concerns and _try_ to address them in a more professional, sophisticated manner.10:10
shawarmawill troy's design at least be available as well?10:10
troy_sunfortunately, it will take more time10:10
troy_sand the politicking is a little nightmarish10:11
troy_si simply don't have time for it.10:11
fschoepI know, I'm sorry it ultimately came down to that10:11
troy_sneedless to say, i have drafted an art director from my industry to help out on ubun2 as well.10:11
fschoepshawarma: it'll probably be around, yes10:11
fschoeptroy_s: sounds large scale all of a sudden?10:11
=== mode/#ubuntu-artwork [-o troy_s] by troy_s
troy_swell...10:11
troy_sthe best way to illustrate how something _should_ be done, is to do it.10:11
fschoepI can't argue with tat10:12
fschoepthat*10:12
troy_s:)10:12
troy_si am simply unwilling to mire more professional folks in the process10:12
troy_swhen the demonstrated path of design is characteristically crippled.10:12
troy_sunfortunate, but i can't waste their time.10:12
troy_si don' t mind wasting mine because i am committed to what Ubuntu is.10:13
fschoepYes10:13
shawarmaUrgh... I didn't mean to shake the bee hive.. :-)10:13
troy_sshawarma it wasn't you my friend.10:13
fschoepshawarma: I think it was already shaken up :)10:13
troy_sshawarma you just popped in at the turning point10:13
troy_si really hope someone will step up and design what mark wants.10:13
troy_swho has some time.10:13
fschoepI have time10:14
fschoepjmak is doing some designs as well10:14
troy_si am pretty confident that there will be a decent team behind the ubun2 project.10:14
shawarmaubun2?10:14
troy_si have several professional folks interested thus far, the missing components will be the technological end.10:14
