darkmattertroy_s, check this out http://clutter-project.org/02:43
darkmattercould be a dream come true with the proper love02:44
troy_sdarkmatter: I wonder if it the GL does software emulation when accell not present02:48
darkmatterhmm02:49
darkmattergood question02:49
troy_sI just don't think anything will hold until an abstraction layer is provided.02:49
darkmatterOpenGL ES & EGL support. This was an original goal for Clutter and this is one of the reasons the GL usage has been keep pretty simple. GL ES Support has already been roughly prototyped in the backends branch and youll notice internal math in Clutter is fixed point based (GL ES type platforms typically lack an FPU) ready for this. This work will also bring stage abstraction meaning we can run over other GL implementat02:51
darkmatterions other than GLX and a GL/GL ES abstraction layer.02:51
darkmattersorry bout the paste if its a bit long02:52
darkmatterbut looks like they're working on it02:52
troy_swell that's great news02:56
darkmatterI'm thinking of the potential for mindshare application... collaboration suites, etc02:57
darkmattercould be really nice02:57
darkmatteror adding some 'wow' factor to the gnome games ;)02:58
troy_sdarkmatter: It would be REALLY nice if everyone would work on ONE bloody interface :)03:05
troy_sGNOME/KDE/this/that/otehr isn't really helping out the consistency factor -- either make the interfaces a HIGHER level abstraction or use the same bloody libs03:05
darkmattertrue03:06
darkmatterI'm thinking something like clutter would make a great extension... build it into any app that it would be of use for... pass some nice arg to see if the system is accelled..03:07

stochastichi, I'm in the process of editing an icon set for gnome and I was wondering if anyone knew where the general text icon is04:51
stochasticto be more specific, the one I'm looking for is the icon that is given in Nautilus when you're looking at a text file04:51
stochasticthe default icon usually has a small preview of the first few lines of the text file, I'd like to keep that, but change the border of the icon04:52
stochasticany ideas?04:52

troy_sstochastic: ?05:06
troy_syour best bet is to look through either tango/tangerine/gnome sets and find the icon05:07
stochasticI was looking but couldn't find anything05:07
troy_sonce you have matched the naming syntax, it is pretty simple to do your adjustments.05:07
troy_swhat icon is it?05:07
troy_sare you talking about the m05:07
troy_smime types?05:07
troy_sas in the default icon for data types?05:07
stochasticI think it would be a mime type05:08
stochasticto recreate the icon I'm talking about, open a gedit and save a simple text file such as "Hello World!"05:08
troy_smethinks that is passed off to the thumbnailing tool05:08
troy_syeah and you get 'Hello world' in the icon thumbnail correct?05:08
stochasticyeah05:09
troy_splain text inside of a little icon05:09
troy_syeah that's handled by the thumbnailers.05:09
stochasticwhere can I find info on themes for those?05:09
stochasticthere has to be a way to change the basic background of that thumbnail right?05:10
troy_swell they aren't 'themes' per se05:10
stochasticok, well forget that I used the word theme05:10
troy_smethinks that is based on the thumbnailing application05:11
troy_sas in it draws the thing itself05:11
troy_sat least most thumbnailers are responsible for that sort of thing05:11
stochastichmm but there's a little dotted border around it that matches the icons in the human mime-type icon set05:12
troy_s?05:12
stochasticI'll do some research on thumbnails05:13
troy_syeah... i honestly don't know exactly what icon it will pull to set into05:13
troy_sit LOOKS like05:13
troy_sit is pulling from /usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/mimetypes/text-x-preview.svg05:14
troy_syou might want to start there.05:14
troy_sand try dicking with that.05:14
stochasticthanks05:14
stochasticI'll see what I can do05:14
troy_sstochastic: Pretty sure that if THAT isn't the icon05:19
troy_sit is one of the smaller sized versions of it05:19
troy_sit certainly looks like it to me.05:19
stochastichmm I notice that there's a text-x-preview.icon in that same folder05:24
stochastichow would that relate?05:25

yharrowopen image, select image, trace bitmap07:38
yharrowchoose color from the bottom menu if you want color07:38

stochasticHey room, earlier I was talking to troy_s about the icon in Nautilus that has a text preview of text files on it04:10
stochastiche pointed me in the direction of /usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/mimetypes/text-x-preview.svg and text-x-preview.icon04:11
stochasticI've attempted to modify these files but their changes have not taken affect do I need to reload the window manager or are these the wrong files04:12
stochasticwhen I run 'locate text-x-preview' it looks like gnome is the only theme on the system with that file but the look of my current icon is much more similar to the text-files that the Human theme has as a mimetype04:14
stochasticany ideas if there's any different similar icons?04:14
andreasnstochastic: it might be because you need to run icon-naming-utils on these files as nautilus does not look up the names from the fd.o icon-naming-specification04:18
stochastic?04:18
stochasticthat's a little over my head04:19
stochasticcan you explain that?04:19
andreasnsure04:19
andreasnoh, crap, there is people coming over.04:21
andreasncan I get back to you?04:21
stochasticsure04:21
andreasnif you're in a hurry, someone in #tango can probably help you04:24
stochasticwait, I found what I was looking for, it's hiding in filesystems/gnome-fs-regular.png04:26

kwwiihehe, sure05:25
kwwiifor now I am working on the usplash though- so no screens of that05:25
nysosymthx :)05:25
kwwiias my vmware refuses to install linux05:25

kwwiiwell, I have been working from home for a few years now, so it is really the only money I put into my office ;-)05:35
nysosymkwwii, good way, i only have a macbook and a selfmade desktop machine ^05:36
kwwiihehe, I have a machine I put together too...it is now one leg of a table05:36
kwwiiand the last time I will do that :-)05:37
nysosym:)05:37
nysosymmy next way will be, removing my actual desktop machine and buy a mac pro, but first with the release of leopard05:38
kwwiiI always wait a few years after apple brings out new hardware to buy it05:39
nysosymbecause my actual desktop is a little bit to slow, for editing hd movies and raw files...05:40
nysosymkwwii, sure, but i can't wait a few years, i need in the next time a new "power" machine05:41
nysosym:D05:41
kwwiinysosym: yeah, I also have a desktop mac as well - it is great at editing video05:41
klepashey nysosym05:41
nysosymkwwii, yes and i love final cut pro. I love ubuntu, but linux doesn't have so professional aplicatons05:43
kwwiinysosym: yeah, the oss linux video apps aren't quite there yet05:43

yharrowso if I wanted a logo without words 2a would be the best?06:20
yharrowsee the thing is that II was told that a logo should not have words06:21
yharrow<< kwwii06:21
yharrowhave you ever heard of such a rule?06:25
kwwiiyharrow: well, that is a pretty good rule, but this is a very specific logo06:33
kwwii2a seems much more creative06:33
=== kwwii has to cook dinner, bbl
yharrowbut is creativity the main factor hear?06:34
yharrowhere06:34
yharrowok06:34
kwwiiwell, branding-wise it is also simply better not to change the ubuntu logo ;-)06:37
