darkmatterok.. its pushed12:32
darkmatterafternoon coz_ -imoto xD12:34
coz_darkmatter, evening guy12:35
darkmattercoz_ I know you hate the slab and all... but have you seen the current cairo lovin' WIP version2?12:35
coz_darkmatter,  no I haven't however there was another verison of slab i saw that was outstanding I forget the name of it12:36
coz_but suse slab sucks12:36
coz_link12:36
darkmatterhttp://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=397838022&size=o12:37
coz_nope don't like that one either12:37
darkmattergnome-main-menu version 2... but for the life of me cant figure out the changes in the theme format12:38
darkmattercoz_ if you mean the USP I'll kill ya'... that bloody thing is bloated and an affront to usability -_-12:39
andreasndoes it work well with the buttons? I found myself adding a link to the home folder in the previous one12:39
andreasnon the panel12:39
darkmatterandreasn, yup.. works nice...12:39
coz_darkmatter, slab is for children to learn linux as far as i am concerned.. it has no real place on an adult system12:39
troy_sdarkmatter: On glory?12:40
darkmatteryou can show all your gtkbookmarks too12:40
andreasndarkmatter: cool. I tried slab in order to test some 32x32 icons and got stuck12:40
darkmatterI just disabled it in gconf cause it makes the menu fscking huge12:40
darkmatterandreasn, but its not a clean hack (yet).. I had to manually install some of the files due to the svn branch being incomplete... but I'm working on a proper build12:41
darkmattertroy_s, yup12:41
darkmattercoz_... its not an ideal solution in terms of efficency.. but its cleaner navigation than *shudder* menus ;)12:42
darkmatterI loath and despise menus12:43
troy_sdarkmatter: Have you seen raster's video in e?12:43
troy_sits bloody amazing and answers a lot of questions regarding xcomposite etc.12:43
darkmattertroy_s, which vid?? he has several12:43
troy_sHe is a bloody bright guy.12:43
darkmatteryup12:43
troy_sThe one from the linux presentation recently.12:43
darkmatterahhh yup12:43
troy_sIt's too bad many of the e zealots are pimply little pricks who need to have their asses kicked.12:44
andreasnI'm curios about Gimmie, that seems to be a interesting approach12:44
coz_andreasn, tried gimme on beryl didn't work for me12:44
darkmattertroy_s, http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=395190585&size=o <-- current svn greatness12:44
troy_swtf is that?!?12:45
troy_se?12:45
darkmatterandreasn, gimmie is cool.. but the applet version has some serious focus bugs12:45
troy_sgeezus.12:45
darkmattertroy_s, yup12:45
troy_sdarkmatter: Is that your desky?12:45
darkmatterANIMATED ICONS!12:45
darkmatteryup12:45
darkmatterthats mye install12:45
darkmattercvs rocks12:45
troy_sYeah we shoudl bloody collaborate on an e design pattern12:45
troy_swe could probably really clobber a home run12:46
troy_sit has ++everything++ that i have griped about missing from gnome etc12:46
darkmattertroy_s, whats really amazing is how fast it is even with all the bling12:46
troy_sdarkmatter: You running edgy, and if so, what is the best way to compile from CVS?  the last time i tried it, it was a nightmare.12:46
troy_sdarkmatter: Yeah, that video has the reasoning in it...12:46
troy_sless overheads to calls to xcomposite12:46
darkmattertroy_s... scriptie12:47
darkmatterI'll grab a linky12:47
troy_seasy e?12:47
darkmattereasy_e17.sh12:47
troy_sI just finished the bloody strokework for u2... i could use some compiling time12:47
troy_swallpaper is a drag.12:47
troy_si need to throw myself into a kwwii coma next to fuddle with grads and such.  i don't know if i have it in me.12:48

darkmatterbrb12:48
coz_e17?12:49
troy_sthanks darkmatter12:49
troy_scoz_ enlightenment12:49
coz_yuk tried that on sabayon did n't like that either who is designing this stuff? :)12:49
troy_swatch the video if you want to see its ability.12:49
coz_troy_s, no never id dlike it12:49
troy_serm... it is the most versatile, lean, etc window manager available12:50
troy_syou need to apply your artist cap and see past the defaults12:50
coz_well maybe so12:50
troy_sit is a helluva designer dream12:50
coz_but it looks terrible12:50
coz_i know you can change it but12:50
troy_sso does ubuntu... that doesn't stop you.12:50
troy_slol12:50
coz_I love ubuntu12:50
coz_:)12:50
troy_subuntu's look?12:51
troy_sare you bonkers?12:51
coz_troy_s, well I like the look of gnome yes it is simple doesn't get in the way and it is logical12:51
troy_syes... try white e1712:51
coz_no12:51
coz_no way :)12:51
troy_s(although it is a bit white sterile... very minimalist)12:51
troy_sNo clunky 2 pixel bevels etc.12:52
troy_sit is a very very very well designed window manager.12:52
troy_sAlthough again, the defaults leave a little to be desired.12:52
coz_ troy_s well maybe so I know darkmatter likes it as well, but i thought fluxbox was nicer12:53
coz_more simple12:53
coz_if that is the correct name of it "_12:53
troy_sNot a chance12:53
darkmattercoz_... flux box isnt a shell/DE though.... window managers dont count :P12:53
troy_sfluxbox isn't even close to the simplicity of e12:54
coz_darkmatter, ok12:54
troy_swatch that video to see the memory differences too.12:54
coz_still I like gnome with beryl that is all I need to get work done12:54
troy_sIt really is the future...12:54
troy_sberyl is a clunky nightmare hack.12:54
darkmattercoz_ e may be the god of bling... but it has incredibly clean code12:54
troy_ssorry to sound rude, but it is true12:54
coz_troy_s, dude no way it works really well12:54
troy_se does it _properly_12:54
darkmatterflux is fugly for something so simple12:54
darkmatteras in the code is fugly12:55
coz_darkmatter, well my experience with all of them was on sabayon which gives you the opportunity to use any one fo them I liked fluxbox the best12:55
coz_but Ill tell you waht i will go back into ababyon andtry it for more than 5 minutes :)12:56
coz_if i change my mind i will tell you ")12:56
darkmattercoz_... look at the code for beryl.... its really dirty duct tape workarounds that dont fix problems... they just hide them... kinda like ms does in windows12:56
coz_darkmatter, yeah I know I have read that but beryl  is nice none theless12:56
darkmatterthey plaster a bunch of fugly patches in multiple layers and call it a fork... rofl12:57
troy_sYep.12:57
coz_compiz is to slow in new things12:57
troy_sIt really is a kludge because the lower level architecture hasn't been thought through like Raster has.12:57
troy_sCheck out the demo with six videos playing at differing levels of translucency to see how elegant his work is.12:57
coz_well quinn lives just 20 minutes from me so I have to support beryl :)12:57
darkmatterbah... silliness12:58
darkmatter:P12:58
troy_sQuinn should rethink his approach.12:58
coz_i do have to say that they contacted me to redo the beryl icons at the last minute, got 90 % of them done and then they didn't use them12:58
darkmatterif quinn livd 20 minutes from me I'd head on over and bitch slap him for beryl -_-12:58
troy_sIt really is riding a wave that will drive things into the ditch.12:58
troy_slol12:58
troy_slol12:58
troy_sWe need to seriously consider the long term effects of relying on 3rd party closed drivers12:59
coz_darkmatter, well guy come on... I have used both beryl and compiz, and you were the one who convinced me to switch to beryl12:59
troy_sit is an ethical, semantic, and logical nightmare.12:59
coz_troy_s, I prefer closed drivers myself12:59
coz_as wellas closed apps01:00
troy_seek01:00
darkmattercompiz is slow atm and not the best because the low level stuff is still being worked on... but its being done in a proper manner.. lots of design.. not freaky version bumps from patching01:00
coz_i want quality from payed programmers01:00
troy_scoz_  that is an arcane and obsolete manner of thinking.01:00
coz_troy_s, perhaps but realisitc01:00
troy_sNot even close.01:00
troy_sMany free software developers get paid.01:01
troy_sMany pieces of free software code are infinitely better in architectural design than any closed source equivalent.01:01
coz_troy_s, the day an open source app matches photoshop i will agree with you01:01
troy_sPhotoshop is a completely limited application.01:01
darkmattercoz_, nope... I do like proprietary good to an extent... but really... if you want closed do it the novell way01:01
troy_sWith a very small target base.01:01
troy_sIn the end, output is output.  Use what you wish.01:01
darkmatterinitial dev in a closed enviroment so random patches dont frak things up01:02
darkmatterthen one the project is mature  enough01:02
darkmatterdump the sources to svn01:02
coz_troy_s, well yes but it offers many options that cannot be found in other apps especially open source01:02
troy_sPhotoshop has really stunk for a number of years... apparently you misremember the entire era when _all_ of their plugins failed to work in the 8bit per channel to 16 bit per channel migration.01:02
troy_setc.01:02
coz_I am in a bad mood also so I may just play devil's advocate here ")01:02
troy_scoz_  and you need to look at imagemagick01:02
troy_sor graphicsmagick01:02
coz_troy_s, yeah I know but I like gui01:02
troy_sas the algs in those two apps simply kill photos to piss.01:03
troy_stry side by each blurs etc.01:03
troy_syou will see what i mean.01:03
darkmattercoz_, you waant scary.. look at the "sources" fo emerald01:03
darkmatter_ONE_ file01:03
darkmattero_O01:03
coz_darkmatter, that one I can really believe emerald is really slow01:03
coz_querky01:03
troy_sthey are all moot considering they _rely_ on closed drivers, and that defeats the purpose.01:03
coz_troy_s, you mean like nvidia or something?01:04
darkmattercoz_, quinn has no respect for any kind of code standards.. and he's a stubborn lesbian to boot01:04
troy_sespeically when raster has explained the rather logical and well thought out approach.01:04
troy_slol01:04
troy_sdarkmatter you are making me laugh out loud.01:04
troy_scoz_: yes... nvidia is a blight on free software01:04
darkmattertroy_s, lol01:04
coz_darkmatter, well I am just angry they made me redo the beryl icons and then not use them01:04
troy_sas is ati (hopefully amd will rectify that)01:04
coz_ati will never catch up01:05
troy_scoz_ you are kidding right?01:05
coz_troy_s, well i hope not I love nividia01:05
troy_slol01:05
coz_")01:05
troy_syour allies are questionable.01:05
darkmatterplus... emerald themes should be handleed like metacity or xfwm4... an emerald folder in the theme dir01:06
troy_sRather like getting in bed with the devil... but to each their own.01:06
coz_troy_s, lol01:06
coz_i am not a foss guy01:06
coz_by any standard01:06
troy_sIf you care about those artsy notions of free and democratic societies, you are obliged to be.01:06
darkmattertroy_s, thats where I've met coz_!!!! he's the toon saddam insane from southpark!01:06
troy_sRead some of Stallman's work and get back to me.01:06
troy_sLol.01:07
troy_sLOL01:07
darkmatterbad coz_!!! you made the devil cry!01:07
coz_if someone said gimp is free so which do you want photoshop or gimp ... i would go out and by photoshop01:07
troy_sGimp is archaic01:07
troy_shas nothing to do with FOSS01:07
troy_sor the principles01:07
coz_understatement01:07
troy_sFor most users however, gimp would probably suffice01:07
coz_my favorite applicatin is corel painter01:07
darkmattertroy_s, gimp would be great... if they'd actually implement a new ui and a new backend ;)01:07
troy_s(considering they are shelling out 200 for a crimped version of photoshop elements)01:08
coz_I had contact with the origianl develpers great guys01:08
troy_sdarkmatter: I think it simply requires inkscape to supercede it01:08
coz_ was going to buy some of their code until they sold it to corel01:08
troy_swith some node based editing.01:08
troy_sactually, inkscape with a tablet and using the calligraphy tool renders some bloody incredible illustration work.01:08
darkmattercoz_, I wanna work for apple!!!!01:08
darkmatter>_>01:08
troy_sit is fast as hell too.01:08
coz_darkmatter, traitor01:08
troy_sbah01:09
andreasndarkmatter: there is this interface professional dude that is working on gimp now though, and um, there is GEGL01:09
troy_stoo bad steve jobs didn't die when he had his chance01:09
troy_she is worse than gates ever was -- and drove his company into the paltry 4% from 97% market share.01:09
darkmatterNeXT FTW!01:09
coz_at least troy_s and I agree about apple01:09
troy_ssteve jobs is the snake oil salesman thief of the modern era.01:09
coz_AMEN01:10
troy_sandreasn: cegl is amazing stuff01:10
darkmattertroy_s, true... but hes damn good at it!01:10
darkmatter:D01:10
troy_sif only it would mature to a point of getting attention.01:10
coz_so is bill gates for all that01:10
troy_snot even close to steve jobs01:10
troy_sand no, he isn't good at it01:10
troy_she drove his company into the ground01:10
coz_well couldn't think of anyother comparison really01:10
troy_she is a clever charlatan01:10
troy_sgot fired from his own company01:10
darkmatterthe best kind!01:10
darkmatterlol01:10
troy_sand returns as the salvation somehow... go figure.01:11
troy_sworse yet, he is probably the greatest peddler of drm/crm/nightmare out there.  (although he is backpeddling on that too now... lol)01:11
darkmattertroy_s, be would have been the new apple if it wasnt fer the snooty "offer me more money!" attitude during negotiations01:11
troy_slook at what he did to xerox in the early years... he is nothing more than a low level thief.01:11
darkmatterthats the only reason apple approached jobs01:12
troy_syeah be turned 400 million into 11 million.01:12
troy_samazing eh?01:12
troy_sbe was offered 400 million iirc from apple for their code base, and then sold to palm for 11.01:12
troy_slol01:12
troy_son a side note dark01:12
troy_swhat is your experience with the underlying architecture for themeing in e?01:13
troy_sand does entrance work now?01:13
troy_sthe deb file i installed had a borked entranced01:13
darkmatterheh... at least os x is better than vista... but the whole "buy our hardware which is freakishly overpriced... cause even if you own osx... installing it on non apple hardware is theft!!!!!"01:13
darkmatteris eww01:14
troy_sall of apple is eww to anyone with half a grey cell.01:15
troy_sdarkmatter: Does exhibit get compiled with easy e?01:15
troy_sor do i need to pass that as a param?01:15
darkmattertroy_s, yup01:16
darkmatterits in the list01:16
darkmatterso is entropy and extract and ephoto and emphasis01:17
darkmatterthough the new ephoto and emphasis arent really functional atm01:17
troy_sunfamiliar with emphasis01:17
darkmatterits a rb like client for mpd01:18
troy_sdid you see his 'rage' demo?01:18
troy_sand where the hell can you get rage?01:18
darkmatternope01:18

andreasnhope you can contribute something cool03:25
yharrowbtw have you noticed that in certain places the icons are totally conflicting with the human theme?03:25
yharrowlike the translate icon in most apps03:25
yharrowand get help03:25
yharrowat least in gaim and some others03:26
andreasnhm, wonder why those even have icons03:26
yharrowwell, from my design perspective almost everything should have an icon03:27
yharrowbut rather have no icon then a horrible one03:27
yharrow:)03:28
yharrowso yeah03:28
yharrowbtw why shouldnt they have icons?03:28
yharrowI would like to understand03:28
andreasnwell, there is the osx approach that labels should be good and no icons in menus, the windows way that if there is a toolbar icon you should have a corresponding one in the menus03:28
andreasnand there is the gnome way that says that icons are pretty pictures03:29
yharrowdo you mean that you feel some of the gnome icons are random?03:30
yharrowand there just for the sake of being there03:30
yharrow?03:30
andreasnsome are totally random and clutters the interface03:31
yharrowok, Im beginning to understand what you mean. Can you give me an example?03:31
andreasndid you ever see garretts industrial theme for firefox, where everything in the menus had a icon?03:32
yharrowno I have not. is it default in gnome?03:32
yharrow:) would probably be something to see the way your describing it03:33
andreasnno, it's not, I think it shipped with NLD9 or something03:33

h4writerkwwii, I see you're in charge for artwork in feisty. Can you look to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2196113. I think it will be a good improvement.11:51
kwwiih4writer: first off, I am making the artwork for feisty, not in charge of it :p12:04
h4writer:p ok, I guess you understood me;-)12:05

troy_sforums aren't popular12:06
troy_sand rather useless as 'yet another bloody thing to keep track of' for the busy folks.12:06
kwwiih4writer: registered now12:07
h4writer(y)12:07
kwwiiso, I think that they do not stand out enough with that light of grey12:07
h4writerand with a hover on (like in gnome-control-center)?12:08
troy_smight help to have a current to compare against h4writer12:08
troy_sas in show the 'current' look versus your mock.12:08
troy_sso that it is easier to say positive direction or negative...12:08
h4writer(just click on that ? on your taskbar in ubuntu:p)12:09
