[08:10] <Admiral_Chicago> hey i have a general question about making a kdm
[08:10] <Admiral_Chicago> you know anything about that nix/
[08:10] <Admiral_Chicago> btw, your page still won't load
[08:10] <Admiral_Chicago> i'll try tomorrow
[12:54] <vdepizzol> hello
[02:31] <troy_s> hello
[02:31] <troy_s> what brings you here vdepizzol ?
[02:33] <vdepizzol> troy_s, how can I be an ubuntu-artworker? :)
[02:34] <vdepizzol> troy_s, I'm actually a tango artist
[02:36] <vdepizzol> troy_s, see my work http://vdepizzol.wordpress.com/
[02:36] <vdepizzol> :)
[02:52] <troy_s> we would _love_ to have you vde
[02:52] <troy_s> but the issue of development lies at the top currently vdepizzol
[02:53] <troy_s> sabdfl has chosen to have the fellow who 'designed' the dapper look design the feisty 'anchors' -- usplash, wallpaper, gdm, logon splash
[02:53] <troy_s> and have the community build 'around' them once they land.
[02:53] <troy_s> it is a closed process currently.
[02:53] <vdepizzol> troy_s, ok
[02:53] <vdepizzol> I'll keep helping projects like Ekiga, Gnumeric so :)
[02:54] <troy_s> that said, there are several community based looks being developed
[02:54] <troy_s> and they would probably dearly appreciate your participation
[02:56] <andreasn> vdepizzol: dude, saw your gnumeric stuff, nice work
[02:58] <Admiral_Chicago> yen it is very nice
[02:59] <troy_s> link?
[03:08] <vdepizzol> andreasn, thank you :) I saw your comment :P
[03:08] <vdepizzol> troy_s, http://vdepizzol.wordpress.com/2006/12/16/gnumeric-artwork/
[03:08] <andreasn> oh, I did a comment :))
[03:12] <andreasn> I must be like one of a total of five users of gnumeric or something ;)
[03:13] <andreasn> troy_s: build around in what way?
[03:56] <Admiral_Chicago> good morning all
[06:43] <newz2000> Have you guys had good luck opening inkscape svg files in illustrator? Do layers and things show up as expected?
[06:46] <kwwii> the layers do not work as they did in inkscape
[06:46] <kwwii> and illustrator cannot edit any gradients that go to transparency
[06:46] <kwwii> nor can it edit lines with gradients
[06:48] <newz2000> :-(
[06:48] <newz2000> ok, thanks
[06:51] <vdepizzol> there is any possibility to feisty come with beautiful icons in gaim?

[10:30] <mhb> hi
[10:31] <kwwii> hi mhb
[10:31] <mhb> I have a kind of crazy question, but nobody answered on #kubuntu, I may try it here :o)
[10:32] <mhb> it seems I feel kind of bored with the grey all around KDE/Kubuntu
[10:32] <mhb> it's not everywhere, I know - I like the current Kicker skin and window decorations
[10:33] <mhb> but when I open an application, there's a whole lot of grey
[10:33] <mhb> grey buttons, grey menus, grey tabs, grey empty space
[10:35] <mhb> I looked at some Vista dialog and it wasn't that grey (and I guess Mac OS X is not all grey as well)
[10:35] <mhb> is there any way to make Kubuntu less grey? I don't want to change everything to a different colour ... just "polish" it up a bit
[10:37] <kwwii> the new style will not be so grey
[10:37] <kwwii> but the new action icons will be
[10:37] <kwwii> which is very osx like
[10:37] <mhb> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/ff/Opendialog5536.png <-- the screenshot I saw today
[10:37] <kwwii> yeah, but I am not so big on the blue-green either
[10:38] <kwwii> typically, kde is alway blue
[10:38] <andreasn> the nice thing about grey is that is really neutral
[10:38] <kwwii> and if the theme is made well with grey it can always be tweaked to be another color using a color-scheme
[10:38] <andreasn> document canvas - white, text - black, the interface - grey
[10:39] <mhb> andreasn: yes, but you see, I become quite bored with the grey all around
[10:39] <andreasn> I assume there is a lot of color schemes on kde-look.org
[10:39] <kwwii> and several in kde itself as well
[10:40] <kwwii> although those could use some updating
[10:40] <kwwii> mhb: perhaps you would be interested in updating/adding new color schemes?
[10:40] <mhb> kwwii: could be
[10:40] <kwwii> ;-)
[10:40] <kwwii> see! I can always find work for someone :-)
[10:40] <mhb> kwwii: is it possible to have a button with a different color than the disabled box/menu etc.?
[10:41] <mhb> kwwii: or have gradients there?
[10:41] <kwwii> the buttons in kde can have their own color, yes
[10:41] <kwwii> kde4 will be much more flexable anyway
[10:42] <kwwii> as we redid all the color scheme stuff (not sure how much is implemented so far though)
[10:42] <kwwii> if you are interested in working on future kde stuff I suggest working on kde4 anyway
[10:42] <kwwii> as we are not planning on changing a lot in regards to kde3 anymore
[10:44] <mhb> thanks
