BHSPitMonkeyack09:02
BHSPitMonkeyI hope the "show desktop" icon is fixed in feisty09:02
BHSPitMonkeyRE: transparency09:03
MadpilotEdgy's show desktop icon is smaller than Dapper's - just upgraded and noticed that.09:03
BHSPitMonkeyit's also not transparent.09:03
Madpilothadn't noticed that yet.09:04
BHSPitMonkeyit actually has that whole gray background drawn onto it.09:04
BHSPitMonkeyit's really irritating with transparent panels09:04
Madpilotdid notice the round orange file tags in Nautilus - am not impressed.09:04
BHSPitMonkeyyeah09:04
BHSPitMonkeyyou think "oh, okay" until you realize that there's none for what you -want-09:05
Madpilotit's more that they're all the same blasted shape - harder to tell them apart.09:05
Madpilotthis was pointed out on the artwork list ages ago, actually.09:05
Madpilotwhile Edgy was still in beta, AFAIK, but it still released with those round useless icons.09:06

fschoep:)05:51
fschoephow are you?05:52
kwwiifschoep: busy like a bee ;-)05:52
darkmatter*yawn*05:52
fschoepgreat, sitting around idling is no fun either05:53
kwwiithat is true05:53
fschoepso, you're now something like AiC for u and ku, right?05:54
kwwiiwell, funny enough the title went away I guess05:54
fschoepyou're just it05:55
fschoepbut I mean, that's the idea05:55
kwwiisomething like that, yeah05:55
kwwiiprobably the best way to get me to use gnome :-)05:55
fschoep:)05:55
kwwiiwinning people over one job at a time05:55
troy_sugh05:56
fschoepit's true though05:56
fschoep"Former Mac OS X addict kwwii switches to Ubuntu."05:56
kwwiiI don05:56
kwwiierm05:56
kwwiiI don't judge my opensource software by it's toolkit ;-)05:56
fschoep:)05:57
darkmatterkwwii, thats what she said05:58
kwwii;-)05:58
troy_suh oh... its the bi curious avatar guy.05:58
darkmattertroy_s, :P06:00
darkmatterquit making fun of sephiroth!06:00
troy_sit is like some strange gay pro wrestler.06:00
troy_s"The Undead Wanna Be Bi Curious Guy"06:00
darkmattertroy_s, say that to his face!06:00
troy_sWholly cow.  This is rather along the lines of "Wilma Flintstone is Hot!"06:01
darkmatterhaha06:01
kwwiitroy_s: so...in order to start the healing process, think you'd like to give a talk on artwork process with a few others? (irc chat really)06:01
kwwiiduring the open week thingy06:02
troy_skwwii Can't, sorry.06:02
troy_skwwii I have another show starting tomorrow etc.06:02
troy_skwwii and our maid is coming in etc.06:02
kwwiitroy_s: gotcha, maybe next time06:02
=== fschoep hides
fschoep;)06:02
troy_skwwii I think you are the guy to deal with that anyways.06:02
kwwiitroy_s: I think it would be done best with people from the community as well06:03
troy_sNo, too forced.06:03
troy_sif there is going to be a community, it probably needs to be mustered by folks who believe in the plan.06:03
kwwiiotherwise it is me telling people how things are going to be, when a lot of it is still open to discussion06:03
troy_sand can contribute.06:03
troy_sUltimately, I think the truth is probably the wisest.06:04
troy_sIt is, and will be until there is a civil uprising, the way things are.06:04
troy_skwwii -- 'still open to discussion' -- i think you would need to explain exactly what that is to the folks...06:08
kwwiitroy_s: there is still a way for community involvement, but the extent needs to be well defined so that we do not make the same mistakes as last time06:09
kwwiiright now, there is no involvement at all, but that fact can change06:10
troy_swell that's just it... i think that is predicated on the notion that the community will _want_ to flesh out sabdfl's ideas.06:10
kwwiithe situation is like it is now because both sides reacted06:10
=== darkmatter returns to branching Glory
troy_sas far as i can tell from a brief precursory exploration of the forums (granted not the best evaluation ground)06:10
troy_sit doesn't seem to be the case.06:10
troy_sthere were no 'both' sides...06:11
troy_sremember -- prior to edgy there was nothingness.06:11
troy_sa vaccuum06:11
troy_ssabdfl's expectations were simply to get a product out there, and really that was too short term.06:11
kwwiiyes, and the mistake with edgy was to let everyone think that they could decide whatever they wanted06:11
kwwiithere has to be some form of acceptance06:12
kwwiieven in the topic, "redhat gets it right" while the situation there is nothing like that in ubuntu edgy06:12
troy_sactually06:14
troy_si could care less about who does what06:14
troy_sif the product is a solid cohesive presentation, i'll be pretty happy with it.06:14
troy_sif it communicates06:14
troy_setc., all is well.06:14
troy_sthat said, i _do_ firmly believe that there is strength in numbers and a gathering of heads.06:15
troy_si have seen it work on so many high level projects that it is simply part of my belief structure.06:15
troy_sand the projects i have seen it work for are worth a helluva lot more than the entire capital involved with ubuntu.06:15
kwwiidefinitely...if we wanted to have more involvement people would be making themes now which could be presented in the first rounds for feisty+106:16
kwwiithen make the decision making process really clear06:16
kwwiibut anyway...I won't go on and on :-)06:18
troy_swell i personally think that is the only real 'community' element06:18
troy_smake it easier to get their work into the packages...06:18
troy_sthat said, sabdfl is a stubborn bugger and from what i can see, things aren't going to change06:18
troy_si sincerely doubt that he would be able to hire _anyone_ that he didn't know more than.06:18
troy_sand that attitude will severely cripple the body of work in the long term06:19
troy_swhich is why 'gets it right' is relevant06:19
troy_seven if you dismiss the work on aesthetic grounds etc... the overarching pattern is solid.06:19
troy_sfurther still, it stands a very real chance of 'attracting' people because of the design.  not creating an overwhelming sense of 'meh'.06:19
troy_sone would hope that a pattern will generate a visceral response -- love it or hate it.  the fence is the worst place to sit.06:20
troy_sAnywho... I would suggest you exert your judgement kwwii and rally the community if that is required.  If it isn't, just plod along and meet sabdfl's expectations.  I got to jet.  Send me an email if you get some thoughts on the issues at hand.06:24
troy_sChat soon my friends.06:24
