Viper550msikma, you designed Dapper's Usplash right?10:44
msikmaYeah11:14
Viper550I ported it to Edgy11:14
msikmaI had a much nicer one that used the new technology for the new usplash, but I'm not sure if it got rejected or not11:14
Viper550http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=4664511:15
msikmai.e. this one: http://thingmajig.org/tmp/usplash_plus/final/usplash_rlsl_7.gif11:15
msikmaThat's pretty nice, but you cut off part of the reflection.11:15
Viper550No, I didn't, it was like that when I got it11:16
msikmaVery strange.11:16
Viper550I stretched it out of the OSdir screenshots11:16
msikmaIt's 256 colors max, right?11:17
Viper550yep, but I go with 25511:18
msikmaI'll make you a 255 colors one.11:18
Viper550I think it already is11:18
msikmaYour port is currently using only a very small portion of the available colors and the reflection is messed up because you got it from a stretched OSdir screenshot.11:18
Viper550Do you have source files for the original (pre-dither)?11:19
msikmahttp://thingmajig.org/tmp/usplash-dapper-255.png11:21
msikmaThere, that looks much better.11:21
msikmaI indeed have source files, but they won't open in GIMP. (PSDs.)11:21
msikmaI could upload a 32-bit PNG.11:21
Viper550okay, that would work good11:21
Viper550but, your 255 is good too11:22
Viper550So, that's an actual higher quality version, nice!11:22
msikmahttp://thingmajig.org/tmp/newsuggestion_0_32.png11:22
msikmaJust in case.11:22
msikmaI guess this just reassures the convenience of keeping source files around even when you think you're no longer going to edit them. :)11:23
Viper550I don't think we'll ever get Usplash that high-rez, but still!11:23
=== Viper550 emails it from his Linux machine to his Windows machine using his own email address
msikmaYeah, 256 colors should be plenty for this design, though. More enthusiastic designs (such as my new Edgy one which is likely to never see the light of day) would need a full color range to really be effective.11:24
msikmaI try my best to dither it properly (and not have the dithering "move around" or "squirm" in the animation) but it still looks awkward.11:24
Viper550Think I should keep the glossy progress bar as is?11:25
msikmaI'd personally add reflection. It's done by copying the bar, flipping it vertically, and then applying a vertical linear gradient from 0x00000000 to 0x000000FF.11:26
msikma(black, transparent, to black, opaque.)11:26
Viper550so, you think reflection there too like the logo11:27
msikmaIn the case of the logo, I also added a small gaussian blur.11:27
msikmaYeah, but I wouldn't add gaussian blur to it. That'd make it look strange.11:27
Viper550okay...I know it would look strange on progress bars, but it would look neat!11:27

Viper550does setting the pallete indexes in Usplash themes actually do anything?12:04
