EleafI want to make art05:32
Eleaf;p05:32
troy_slol05:32
troy_sI don't believe that much is stopping you.05:32
Eleafit's for real troy_s05:33
EleafI need cereal.05:33
Eleafbut what would I make art for troy_s ?05:33
EleafProfessional icons are tough, lots of work for a full suite.05:33
EleafI wouldn't mind individual app icons, but that's not to unified.05:33
Eleafwhat do you reccomend I do troy_s ?05:34
troy_sProbably not a great guy to ask.  I would probably suggest that you figure out where you _want_ to help.05:35
Eleafanywhere.05:36
EleafIs there a wiki page of needed artwork?05:36
Eleaf??05:39
troy_sNo05:41
troy_sYou could possibly look through bugs05:42
troy_sand see if you can change something.  That said, there is nothing to assure that your work will get inserted.05:42
Eleaftroy_s, bah.05:50
EleafThere should be a wiki page of stuff needng artwork05:50
BHSPitMonkeyspecial folders definitely need artwork05:59
BHSPitMonkeylike Computer, Trash, etc.05:59
BHSPitMonkeyTrash should have a junkyard as its default wallpaper definitely06:00
BHSPitMonkeyAnd Computer, a blurry jpeg of a motherboard06:00
Eleafspecial folders eh?06:00
EleafBHSPitLappy, what do you mean trash should have a junkyard wallpaper?06:01
BHSPitMonkeythe Trash folder06:01
BHSPitMonkeyit's all about immersion06:01
EleafBHSPitLappy, I'm confused06:04
Eleafoh oh.06:04
Eleafin nautilus?06:04
BHSPitMonkeyyup06:04
Eleafhehe, how do you do that anyways?06:04
BHSPitMonkeyright click06:04
BHSPitMonkeyoh06:04
EleafAh, how do you make that default though.06:04
BHSPitMonkeyit's on the View menu, my bad.06:05
EleafLike if you where to make it default in ubuntu06:05
BHSPitMonkeyEdit actually06:05
Eleaflol06:05
BHSPitMonkeyUhh, they'd make it so.06:05
BHSPitMonkeyIt's very possible.06:05
BHSPitMonkeyRead a book, gosh.06:05
Eleaf??06:06
EleafBHSPitLappy, that applies it to all backgrounds.06:09
Eleafnot just the trash.06:09
Eleaflol06:09
BHSPitMonkeynu uh06:09
BHSPitMonkeyit's on a per-folder basis06:09
BHSPitMonkeynever mind.  But still!06:10
BHSPitMonkeynothing is impossible!06:10
Eleaflol06:10
darkmatterusing emblems n folders dialog you can set a bg for an individual folder or all folders06:14
darkmatterchoice is up to you06:14
darkmatterso its easy enough to do06:15
Eleafhow darkmatter06:15
Eleafwhenever I drag it on there, it sets it for all06:15
EleafI don't see an option for only the current window06:16
darkmatterright click drag a bg instead of left click drag06:16
Eleafoh06:16
darkmatterit'll give you a menu once you drop it06:16
darkmatterI dont actually think thats documented though. but it should be. a lot of users dont know its there06:18
darkmatterBHSPitMonkey, I actually think it should be a trash can bg with like, a rotten banana peel next to it... maybe some tangoish flies circling ;)06:20
BHSPitMonkeyexactly06:21
BHSPitMonkeyimmersion06:21
darkmatternautilus burn should be some extra crisp toast :P06:21
darkmattertheres actually a few mockups on flikr from a while back suggesting default per folder bg's06:22
darkmatterI'm surprised noone actually bothered doing it though06:23
Eleafdarn slow key thing06:25
Eleafthat thing is responsible for making my keyboard inactive for no reason06:25
darkmatterhttp://images.google.ca/images?svnum=10&hl=en&safe=off&q=nautilus+mockups&btnG=Search <--- the first 5... they use pretty basic images... but its a valid point06:27
darkmatterhttp://www.tux-planet.fr/blog/images/gnome_mockup/mockup_05.png <--- I always liked that one. its two glossy, plastic, and mac like theme wise... but the ui concept is a nice one06:30
Eleafhmm06:31
Eleafdoesn't look that mac-like06:31
Eleafmac themes are much more elegant06:31
Eleaflooks like vista ;) ;)06:31
darkmatterlol... true.. but its the whole plastic/round bauble window glyph thing06:32
darkmatterhaha06:32
darkmatterkinda bit o' both I'd say06:32
darkmattermacvista gnome06:32
Eleaflol06:32
darkmatterbut the general idea is sound... looks totally different, but sorta follows the general 'library' concept of some mockups I've been working on06:36
darkmatterthus... I like it06:36
darkmatterbut the theme is... meh06:36

coz_darkmatter, how goes the theme?01:12
darkmattercoz_ pretty good I guess.. havent worked on it much this week01:13
darkmatterbeen starting a couple others I wanna push along with it01:13
coz_darkmatter, i didn't wake you there did I ?01:13
darkmatternope01:14
coz_cool01:14
darkmatterwas just distracted by the gimp01:14
darkmatter:P01:14
coz_darkmatter, oh distracted by it?01:14
darkmatteryeah... as in gimpin01:14
coz_darkmatter, yeah there is a fair amount of options in gimp01:15
darkmatterlol01:15
darkmatteryup01:15
darkmatterhow have you been coz_?01:16
coz_darkmatter, prtty good, have been talking to the gnomepeople about not having slab in the next version01:16

coz_sirry disconnected myself01:17
coz_dealing iwht gnome people about slab01:17
coz_hope to have them not putit in gnome01:18
coz_how the heck did i disconnect myself??01:18
darkmatterwhy??? its utterly silly not to inckude choice ;) it can be in gnome... doesnt mean it will be or should be default01:19
darkmatterbut something has to replace those archaic n broken-by-design menus01:19
coz_darkmatter, well the discussion I had with them was to include an option to turn it on or off01:19
darkmatterthats better01:19
darkmatter:P01:20
coz_darkmatter, list driven menus are speedier , doesn't mean they can';t improve them but slab is, in my opinion and testing a step backwards in design01:20
coz_darkmatter,  I think slab would be great for teaching kids linux, big icons big menus etc01:20
coz_regardless fo what novell says , i do not believe they did testing on work output using slaba01:21
coz_slab01:21
darkmatternah... not really a step backwards.. n just as fast if yer used to it..01:21
darkmatterits still as broken as the menus01:22
darkmatterbut at least its an alternative01:22
coz_well yeah but i think the best solution is to have an option for slab on/off01:22
darkmatterindeed01:22
coz_that way for those that need slab it is there01:22
darkmatteryup01:24
darkmatterI use it not because its ideal... I just use it because its clean... the one thing that cascading menus arent... and if I ever do need the actual menu (doubtful) all I need is alt+f101:25
coz_darkmatter,  that seems to be the best way to go about this but you know how gnome is01:26
darkmatteryeah01:27
darkmattercoz_, I'm actually designing a pretty cool interface "suite" to plugin to gnome as it were... and whats really cool is it has no menus ;)01:28
coz_darkmatter, ooo sounds interesting01:29
