[03:05] <_MMA_> troy_s: ping
[03:23] <troy_s> _MMA_ go
[03:24] <_MMA_> Hi sir.
[03:24] <_MMA_> do you have a sec to jump on #ubuntustudio?
[03:42] <troy_s> who's idea was it to put the enlarge and minimize to desktop functionality in the top right corner?
[03:42] <troy_s> erk
[03:42] <troy_s> ww.
[04:06] <TheSheep> do you maybe know if murrina theme engine is going to be included in feisty?
[04:11] <_MMA_> Yep.
[04:11] <_MMA_> Ubuntu Studio is using it for its theme. We even had code added to the engine for us.
[04:12] <TheSheep> great! thanks
[04:13] <_MMA_> REALLY early screenshot: http://img506.imageshack.us/img506/6425/screenshot1uq7.png
[04:13] <_MMA_> Needs some color/usability tweaks.
[04:14] <TheSheep> the blue kills :)
[04:16] <TheSheep> troy_s: as far as I know it kinda just "happened" at Apple, and then everyone copied it...
[04:16] <TheSheep> troy_s: now it's just very well established tradition, kinda like blue for links
[04:30] <troy_s> TheSheep -- regarding what?  Anatomy of a desktop styling?
[04:31] <troy_s> It is quite a logical progression -- to extend the desktop window into a 'larger' window based on user habits.
[04:31] <TheSheep> 03:42 < troy_s> who's idea was it to put the enlarge and minimize to desktop functionality in the top right corner?
[04:31] <troy_s> I find it rather interesting in light of what we were discussing the other day.
[04:31] <TheSheep> troy_s: personally I think that the corner is too precious to "waste" it like that :)
[04:32] <TheSheep> troy_s: I mean, logout is not the same as closing an app
[04:32] <TheSheep> otoh, the "obviousness" has its benefits
[04:32] <troy_s> Well... again -- it is not intended for power user layouts.
[04:32] <troy_s> Most power users have clutter all over the place, but they know exactly what is where.
[04:32] <TheSheep> but I'm not convinced about usefulness of the 'cascade' button :)
[04:33] <troy_s> Back to artwork.
[04:33] <troy_s> Erm
[04:33] <troy_s> Sorry...
[04:33] <troy_s> I think it is quite clever actually.
[04:33] <troy_s> Organize your windows -- tile / something
[04:33] <troy_s> It is one of those things that folks who are newer would appreciate.
[04:33] <TheSheep> troy_s: probably a question of style of work
[04:33] <_MMA_> troy_s: Did you see my questions on #ubuntustudio?
[04:33] <troy_s> Erm...
[04:34] <troy_s> No... backtracking.
[04:34] <troy_s> Give me a few.
[04:34] <_MMA_> np. ;)
[04:34] <_MMA_> take your time.
[04:34] <troy_s> Well the more I think about it
[04:35] <troy_s> The more I am thinking 18% grey is probably the best route.
[04:35] <troy_s> Simply for functionality.
[04:35] <troy_s> I know it is rather drab, but it truly works towards a 'studio' environment.
[04:35] <troy_s> Family time for a while.  Back in a while.
[04:36] <troy_s> Feel free to pm me
[04:36] <_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)
