Burgworkwhat is this about new art?12:18
=== Burgwork is annoyed
Burgworkfschoep: why is the artwork changing at this late date?12:18
fschoepBurgwork: master's orders12:19
Burgworkfuck12:19
Burgworkwe are lucky I still have two days to change the books screenshots12:19
fschoepBurgwork: aren't you on the docteam?12:19
Burgworkyes, I am12:19
fschoepOK, I sent out a notification to the mailing list warning everyone not to take screenshots until further notice.12:20
fschoepSomeone replied that noone was taking screenshots.12:20
fschoepI'm really sorry.12:21
Burgworkreplying now12:21
fschoepOK, thanks.12:21
Burgworkartwork has missed every deadline it has ever been given, in the history of the Ubuntu project12:23
Burgworkevery time I get a little bit more annoyed12:23
Burgworkthis time, for Dapper, I thought we were good12:23
Burgworkapparently not12:23
BurgworkI don't blame the artteam12:24
fschoepI can understand your frustration.12:24
fschoepI'm sorry to hear about your problems, unfortunately I can't really help you out at the moment :(12:25
Burgworkwe can revert the change, which is what I would do12:25
fschoepI'm not sure if Mark would agree with that.12:26
Burgworkyes12:26
Burgworkbut if *any* other feature fails to make the deadline, it gets cut12:26
Burgworkartwork does not12:26
fschoepI see.12:27
fschoepTonight, we worked very hard with the team to conform to Mark's latest wishes and I'm sure he wouldn't want us to revert everything at this moment.12:28
Burgworkit is still up in the air about whether or not I will be in MV12:29
fschoepI understand the book being high profile as well, but it's not up to me to decide what to prioritize. I'm sorry I can't help you out much more than this.12:29
Burgworkif I am, I am going to go to bat12:29
Burgworkit is not just the book12:31
Burgworkwhat about other projects?12:31
fschoepCan you tell me about some of those?12:31
Burgworkother book projects12:32
Burgworkthat is the biggest one I can see12:32
Burgworkanybody doing out of tree marketing12:32
Burgworketc.12:32
Burgworkthere are a million places screenshots are used12:32
Burgworkanyway, I need to run12:33
fschoepOK, I'm sure we'll discuss the matter again. Thanks for dropping by.12:33

fschoepkwwii: lol01:45
kwwiithe question is what do we want01:46
kwwiiI would like it to be cross desktop and there not necessarily orange-red01:46
fschoepkwwii: should it fit in the preview's design?01:46

kwwiifschoep: not necessarily01:47
imbrandonyea01:47
imbrandon( as in cross -desktop)01:47

msikmaHmm, the update to 6.10 seems to have changed around some of the graphics used by the "LegacyHuman" theme.06:30
msikmaThey look uglier now and broken in some places.06:30

PingunZI made a gdm .. http://pingunz.rockz.be/Dump/screenshot.jpg any comments ? :)07:13
andreasnstar trek?07:16
andreasnI totally want a star trek theme :)07:16
msikmaNice background. I'm not that impressed by the design of the middle part, though.07:16
msikmaMostly, I don't find the internal/external glows to be very attractive.07:17
=== pradeep [n=pradeep@59.92.57.252] has joined #ubuntu-artwork
msikmaI think that keeping the glows either very small (in radius) or making them very transparent (maybe 10% opacity, probably less) is nice. One thing I'm certain of is that a dark outer glow is _not_ a good substitute for a drop shadow.07:17
msikmaI'm irked by whatever logo that is in the middle. It has a shadow that makes no sense and it looks like an unfinished Tango icon resized to way past the scale it should be at.07:19
PingunZOk :)07:21
PingunZIt's the official archlinux logo btw ;)07:21
PingunZThe background is the suse default wallpaper ;)07:22
PingunZI'll design a total new one, I'll keep you updated :D07:22
