kwwiitroy_s: not too much, been working on the usplash pretty much all day12:59
kwwiithat and lots of emails :-)12:59
kwwiitroy_s: you?12:59
troy_syeah there are a few of those.12:59
troy_snot as much as I would have liked to.  i need to get some scrapbook shit together for this film project.01:00
troy_salas, my head is pounding.01:00
troy_shave you been chatting with sab?01:02
kwwiibeen ping-ponging each other with emails01:07

kwwiiactually, until now the colaboration has been very working very well01:08
troy_suntil now?01:08
troy_slol01:08
troy_scollaboration... sure.01:08
troy_swell hopefully it will go ok for you...01:09
troy_si can't imagine otherwise unless you try to really hit some distinctive elements out.01:10
=== PseudoPlacebo [n=Placebo@user-0ceveav.cable.mindspring.com] has joined #ubuntu-artwork
kwwiiwell, with the time schedule for feisty doing something radically new is out of the question anyway01:13
kwwiiand doing radically new things is not probably going to be done by one person anyway, lest it go astray01:14
troy_skwwii Well yes.  The point being is that the 6 month cycle isn't exactly conducive to a longer term level of design anyways.01:58
troy_sI wouldn't even say radical is a question -- just getting everything into a suitable top drawer sort of presentation would take longer than a 6month cycle.01:59
troy_sRight now, the underlying issues are handicapping that element anyways.01:59
kwwiiright on both counts02:08
kwwiiand to think that I did a release every 3 months at suse02:09
kwwiiit's like being expected to fart artwork02:09
=== Viper550 [n=Viper550@d57-121-167.home.cgocable.net] has joined #ubuntu-artwork
troy_skwwii well that would really cripple the bloody work.02:39
troy_skwwii I think that in order to really have a chance, we need to be developing the next while twiddling the now enough to keep sab happy.02:39
troy_sThat said, the 'next' would also need to be approved by him, which again, given that he has had completely free reign, seems to be02:40
troy_sa problem to try and actually develop any sort of distinct identity.02:40

nysosymhi there :)08:42
kwwiimoin08:43
kwwiiw00t! the usplash is now final :-)08:43
nysosymhave u seen my new icon for update notifier kwwii ? :)08:43
nysosymYes? Can is see them? :)08:44
kwwiinysosym: it is in the process of being uploaded08:44
kwwiinysosym: hrm, I guess I missed that - really liked the one lapo made08:45
nysosymok, but i can't use feisty, madwifi doesn't work and i can't see the new version :-/08:45
nysosymkwwii: sure i like lapos although very much, but i think these icons doesn't match with the human look08:46
kwwiinysosym: yeah, they need a bit of gloss and so08:47
kwwiibut the metaphor itsel is very nice08:47
kwwiidid you post a version to the mailing list?08:47
kwwiiif so, I cannot find it08:47
nysosymdamn, anytime i send new mails with my new adress and these aren't in this list08:47
nysosymmom08:48
nysosymits out :)08:49
kwwiinysosym: probably need to change the list subscription to point to the new address08:49
nysosymdo u have a new mail?08:49
kwwiiyepp08:50
kwwiihere is a few ideas08:50
nysosymgood :)08:50
kwwiithe white has very little contrast against the orange08:50
kwwiiand I think that orange is more along the lines of what we need than red08:50
kwwiithe gloss on the icon should probably be curved to match the gloss on other icons (like the folder, for instance)08:51
nysosymwell, i have used the orange from the human folders ^^08:51
nysosymthe gloss is although from the folders ^^08:51
kwwiiyou would probably need to add a slight line around the white arrow08:51
kwwiiyeah, the gloss itself is ok, but it should probably have a curved lower edge08:51
nysosymwell, good points thx :)08:52
nysosymi will do my best :)08:52
kwwiino problem08:52
kwwiisabdfl really likes the ones that lapo sent, btw...not sure how much time I would stick into making other versions :-)08:52
kwwiinot that I want to stop you, just thought you should know08:53
=== kwwii muss zum Steuerberater, bbl
nysosymno problem, i didn't have a problem with this, i can't use my icon for mayself for instance ^^08:54
kwwiicool08:54
nysosymcan`t =can ^^08:58
kwwiiyeah, I figured that out ;-)08:58
=== EmxBA [n=emx@ubuntu/member/emxba] has joined #ubuntu-artwork

nysosymkwwii: the gloss more to the bottom of this icon?09:09
kwwiinysosym: not necessarily...just add a curve to it09:09
kwwiigotta run...be back later09:10

troy_swholly overcomplicated 24 pixel icons.05:46
troy_skwwii re the update lapo icon -- humanize it if sabdfl is going to go with it.  otherwise it is yet one more step down the road to frankenstein.05:49

kwwiihowdy Seveas10:08
kwwiiSeveas: thinking about including a decent set of aspect ratios in the usplash10:11
kwwiiSeveas: any ideas on that front?10:11
kwwiiSeveas: oh, and it looks like we are going to be able to use 16 or 24bit graphics10:11
Seveaskwwii, -ETIME, I planned on doing that for feisty but some hell in my private life prevented that10:11
Seveas16/24bit: not in the near future10:12
kwwiiSeveas: from what mjg59 and tfheen say it should be doable (we'll still have the 256 as backup)10:14
Seveaskwwii, good to hear, they know infinitelymore than me about that10:15
kwwiiSeveas: it would certainly make it easier to make pics for it10:16
kwwiiSeveas: but in any case, I want to include a few aspect ratios and I thought maybe you have an idea which ones would be good10:16
kwwiiand which sizes I should make10:16
kwwiiSeveas: the new stuff is pure svg (and already works with 8bit)10:16
kwwiiso the pics are not a problem10:17
kwwiiSeveas: but I do not want to include too much as it only takes up space on the CDs10:17
=== msikma [n=Msikma@s55933ad4.adsl.wanadoo.nl] has joined #ubuntu-artwork
nysosymkwwii: hi, please make a 1680x1050 version of usplash! :)))10:39
nysosymhere is my favorite list 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1280x800, 1680x1050, 1680x120010:42
nysosymthat's the most used resolutions :)10:42
nysosymthere is all in 4:3, 4:5, 16:10, 16:910:50
nysosymgn8 @ all :)10:53
msikma16:9? That's very uncommonly used by monitors, isn't it?11:06
msikmaAll wide screens I've ever used or seen were 16:10.11:06
kwwiiyeah, 16:10 is probably a better ratio11:17
PingunZmine is 16:1011:28
=== PingunZ feels hip
troy_s16:9 is standard HD.11:58
=== darkmatter [n=darkmatt@unaffiliated/darkmatter] has joined #ubuntu-artwork
msikmatroy_s: yes, for primarily televisions12:01
msikmaI have never seen a 16:9 computer monitor12:02
msikmaI guess you could support those that hook up Ubuntu on an external HD television but it seems that there's very limited space on the CD.12:02
troy_smsikma: Not really an issue if SVG is included on the cd12:06
troy_sseems to make the most logical sense.12:06
msikmaYou'll still need to tell it to downscale properly and proportionally, and in that case you might as well use a large PNG12:08
