_MMA_Hi sir.03:24
_MMA_do you have a sec to jump on #ubuntustudio?03:24

TheSheepdo you maybe know if murrina theme engine is going to be included in feisty?04:06
_MMA_Yep.04:11
_MMA_Ubuntu Studio is using it for its theme. We even had code added to the engine for us.04:11
TheSheepgreat! thanks04:12
_MMA_REALLY early screenshot: http://img506.imageshack.us/img506/6425/screenshot1uq7.png04:13
_MMA_Needs some color/usability tweaks.04:13
TheSheepthe blue kills :)04:14
=== _MMA_ loves the blue. :)
=== TheSheep feels the back of his head smoking...
TheSheeptroy_s: as far as I know it kinda just "happened" at Apple, and then everyone copied it...04:16
TheSheeptroy_s: now it's just very well established tradition, kinda like blue for links04:16
troy_sTheSheep -- regarding what?  Anatomy of a desktop styling?04:30
troy_sIt is quite a logical progression -- to extend the desktop window into a 'larger' window based on user habits.04:31
TheSheep03:42 < troy_s> who's idea was it to put the enlarge and minimize to desktop functionality in the top right corner?04:31
troy_sI find it rather interesting in light of what we were discussing the other day.04:31
TheSheeptroy_s: personally I think that the corner is too precious to "waste" it like that :)04:31
TheSheeptroy_s: I mean, logout is not the same as closing an app04:32
TheSheepotoh, the "obviousness" has its benefits04:32
troy_sWell... again -- it is not intended for power user layouts.04:32
troy_sMost power users have clutter all over the place, but they know exactly what is where.04:32
TheSheepbut I'm not convinced about usefulness of the 'cascade' button :)04:32
troy_sBack to artwork.04:33
troy_sErm04:33
troy_sSorry...04:33
troy_sI think it is quite clever actually.04:33
troy_sOrganize your windows -- tile / something04:33
troy_sIt is one of those things that folks who are newer would appreciate.04:33
TheSheeptroy_s: probably a question of style of work04:33
_MMA_troy_s: Did you see my questions on #ubuntustudio?04:33
troy_sErm...04:33
troy_sNo... backtracking.04:34
troy_sGive me a few.04:34
_MMA_np. ;)04:34
_MMA_take your time.04:34
troy_sWell the more I think about it04:34
troy_sThe more I am thinking 18% grey is probably the best route.04:35
troy_sSimply for functionality.04:35
troy_sI know it is rather drab, but it truly works towards a 'studio' environment.04:35
troy_sFamily time for a while.  Back in a while.04:35
troy_sFeel free to pm me04:36
_MMA_See, the original idea was to be close to Ardour. Thats the reason.04:36
_MMA_lol. Me to.04:36
_MMA_(wife time)04:36
