[10:21] <elkbuntu> they're nice and simple :)
[10:40] <nysosym> elkbuntu: better as the orange ones in edgy?
[10:42] <elkbuntu> i wouldnt say better, the orange ones are at least consistant
[10:44] <nysosym> elkbuntu: sure, but many many people say the usability is decreased with the orange ones..
[10:47] <elkbuntu> i'm inclined to think that it is more likely a contrast issue rather than a requirement for technicolor
[10:49] <nysosym> elkbuntu: sure, but the orange color is exactly the same as on the "home" folder and at the "Search for Files" icon
[10:49] <nysosym> i this way i thought it would be nice to have more emblems like this ones
[10:49] <elkbuntu> then the color needs to be changed to another color, not twenty other colours
[10:50] <elkbuntu> remember, this is just my opinion, nysosym
[10:50] <nysosym> elkbuntu: hmm i should create a poll in the feisty forum?
[10:51] <elkbuntu> if you want. polls do not really achieve a whole lot though
[10:52] <nysosym> sure but a poll give me a little overview of the popularity :D
[10:52] <nysosym> or is there a better way?
[10:54] <elkbuntu> for a popularity amongst a few, it's probably the quickest way
[10:56] <nysosym> ok, i think a solution for all people isn't there...
[11:14] <nysosym> h effraie
[11:14] <nysosym> *hi
[11:14] <effraie> hi
[11:17] <nysosym> how are u?
[04:50] <nysosym> re
[05:25] <nysosym> hi andreasn :)
[05:25] <andreasn> hi nysosym
[05:26] <nysosym> how are u? :)
[05:29] <andreasn> I'm fine, pretty tired, been a busy week
[05:30] <andreasn> but I'm reading a kickass book by Jef Raskin, so that's nice
[05:30] <andreasn> everything fine with you?
[05:31] <nysosym> yes always fine :)
[05:33] <nysosym> andreasn: what do you think about my recreated emblems?
[05:33] <nysosym> http://img142.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1sc0.png
[05:34] <andreasn> do you have these in the smaller sizes as well?
[05:35] <nysosym> yes these are svgs
[05:35] <andreasn> how do they look in the nautilus sidebar for example?
[05:35] <andreasn> no, like aligning the lines to the grid of other sizes than just the 48x48 canvas
[05:35] <nysosym> looks fine, like the orange ones in edgy
[05:36] <nysosym> only the colors a new
[05:41] <nysosym> andreasn: here
[05:41] <nysosym> http://img164.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1yb6.png
[05:41] <andreasn> other than the fact that the shapes reduces the ability to tell them apart, they seem nice
[05:41] <andreasn> hm, looks a bit unsharp
[05:42] <andreasn> I think you should give the several sizes approach a shot
[05:42] <andreasn> the danger one for example gets a bit hard to recognise when scaled down
[05:43] <nysosym> okay
[05:44] <nysosym> that they seem a little unsharp is a failure in cairo in will be improved in future versions
[05:44] <andreasn> oh?
[05:45] <nysosym> yes, these said a cairo dev, after i asked him ^^
[05:45] <andreasn> carl?
[05:46] <andreasn> what is the difference between pictures and photos btw?
[05:47] <andreasn> anyway, keep up the good work
[05:52] <nysosym> andreasn: i don't know how the difference is, but in the original gnome set are although pictures and photos...
[05:53] <andreasn> I wish we had a tagging-system instead of the emblem system
[05:53] <andreasn> guess it's up to the leaftag dudes
[05:55] <nysosym> andreasn: sure, but i think the emblem system is much better/faster for finding folders/files with your eyes
[05:56] <andreasn> the problem with the emblem system is that it's very unflexible, there is no emblem for "Work related to Project X" for example
[05:57] <andreasn> osx has a tagging system with colors
[05:57] <andreasn> that would let you spot stuff quick as well
[06:06] <nysosym> but we can't steal anything from osx ^^
[06:08] <andreasn> :)
