bersacei guess https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BzrContributorHowto01:29
bersacekwwii: there is no autoconf nor automake file in the branch :(01:37
kwwiiyeah, we moved to the python utils01:38
kwwiimakes things much easier01:38

yharrowyay, a vegan chick08:56
VeganChickI thought this channel was dead.08:56
VeganChicklol08:56
yharrow*loves vegan chicks08:56
VeganChickhaha08:56
VeganChickI used a murrine theme, but it still looks too blocky and...ick.08:57
yharrow:)08:57
yharrowVeganChick: you use ubuntu much?08:58
VeganChickNope, just started.08:58
yharrowVeganChick: cool. welcome to the community :)08:58
VeganChickthanks, yharrow08:58
yharrowVeganChick: your welcome. So youre an artist?08:58
VeganChickNot really, just used to pretty OS X.08:59
yharrow:) I see what you mean. so youre trying to get murrine installed?09:01
VeganChickI have it installed now, and I'm using the Candy theme, but it doesn't look so hot.09:01
yharrowVeganChick: hmm if you want you can get a theme almost identical to mac09:02
yharrowwould you be interested?09:02
VeganChickHmm, I've seen that. I'm not sure.09:03
VeganChickI would love to just change everything from scratch, but I don't think there's a way to do that.09:04
=== bersace_ is now known as bersace|away
yharrowVeganChick: what do you mean by change everything from scratch?09:08
VeganChicklike design all of the buttons, tabs, panels09:12

yharrowVeganChick: its perfectly possible :)09:18
yharrowVeganChick: if you have the time and knowledge09:18
yharrowVeganChick: even if you dont have the knowlege you can learn09:18
VeganChickI don't know where to start.09:19
VeganChickbecause I definitely don't have the knowledge now09:19
yharrowVeganChick: hmm. well are you just looking for something different or do you actually want to create something revolutionary?09:19
yharrow:)09:19
VeganChickhaha09:20
VeganChickI would love revolutionary, but something different would be ok too.09:20
yharrowdo you have any experience in design of any kind?09:20
VeganChickNot desktop styles.09:21
VeganChickI've worked with Photoshop09:21
=== bersace|away is now known as bersace
VeganChickThere's a web/graphic design geek in the house, but he doesn't use linux09:21
yharrowVeganChick: so you make a living in design?09:23
VeganChickNo, I'm just a student.09:23
yharrowVeganChick: oh ok cool :)09:23
yharrow*is a student as well09:23
yharrowIM only 20 lol09:23
VeganChickHah, I'm not a design student. And I'm younger than you, don't feel bad.09:24
VeganChick:P09:24
yharrowhehe09:24
yharrowVeganChick: well there is this guy from ubuntu who is trying to create his own revolutionary design, Ill give you a link so you can take a look09:24
VeganChickok thanks09:25
TheSheep_VeganChick: you can change the roundness of buttons and other widgets in murrine easily09:26
VeganChickTheSheep_: I know, I used the Configurator, but it didn't make me happy.09:27
VeganChickthanks though09:27
=== TheSheep_ forgot about the ocnfigurator
TheSheep_never used it :)09:28
VeganChickit's pretty good, but I just don't like the default linux design09:28
TheSheep_if you mean the general layout of controls in programs, then you're out of luck -- it's pretty much hardcoded09:29
VeganChickI can't figure out how to install this theme.09:30
VeganChickhttp://www.robertourso.com/?cat=309:31
TheSheep_usually you just unpack it itno .themes directory09:31
=== TheSheep_ looks
VeganChick"Truth" halfway down09:31
troy_smurrine is turk09:31
troy_sYou can change everything using the Pixbuf engine09:32
TheSheep_troy_s: pixbuf is slooow :)09:32
troy_sand then once you decide on a direction, consider the Lua engine to script it.09:32
troy_sTheSheep_: That is a legacy comment09:33
TheSheep_troy_s: of course09:33
troy_sTheSheep_: It is actually quite bloody responsive now.  In fact, the era of "slow" pixmap engine is from... god knows when09:33
VeganChickwhere do i find this engine?09:33

UbugtuMalone bug 89035 in ubuntu-website "CoF icon clash frontpage (new site)" [Undecided,Confirmed] 09:33
troy_sVeganChick: To install a theme09:33
troy_sopen up your graphical theme editor09:34
troy_sand drag the FULL gzipped tarball into the window09:34
troy_sDon't extract -- just drag.09:34
TheSheep_troy_s: that's a zip :)09:34
VeganChicktroy: I did that09:34
VeganChickbut it doesn't look right09:34
VeganChickI need the cgwd themer09:34
VeganChickbut i can't find where to get that09:35
troy_sDesign your own from using a good template09:35
troy_sIts quite simple09:35
troy_salbeit a little on the time consumption zone09:35
PWillis anyone here on the website team?09:36
VeganChickTroy_s: I would do that, but I don't know how to modify anything yet.09:36
troy_sVeganChick: It is quite simple once you look at the engine layout09:36
troy_sJust look at samples such as Neutronium for the pixbuf engine09:37
troy_setc.09:37
troy_sStart by simply modding the png files that come with it then expand from there VeganChick09:37
troy_s_everything_ in gnome is customizable to some extent -- including layouts etc.09:38
troy_sand most of the gnome philosophy means that it is generally in plaintext format09:38
TheSheep_troy_s: well, you won't change the order of buttons to have 'ok' on the left, for example :)09:39
troy_sTheSheep_: No, correct.  Although there might be something in there for RTL no?09:39
TheSheep_troy_s: no, it's hardcoded09:40
TheSheep_troy_s: directly in the C code09:40
troy_sWell that is shameful coding.09:40
TheSheep_troy_s: of particular apps09:40
troy_sExpected, but shameful.09:40
TheSheep_that's what GNOEM HIG is for :)09:40
TheSheep_GNOME09:40
troy_sWhy the feck didn't that interface markup language take off?09:41
TheSheep_troy_s: glade? it's very popular09:41
troy_sNo09:41

troy_si guarantee that you will find it interesting09:42
TheSheep_thank you sir09:43
troy_sI assure you that _you_ will find it quite fascinating.09:43
troy_sit generated a 'duh why hasn't someone done this yet' from me for certain09:43
TheSheep_uiml.org09:44
VeganChickAll of the themes I've found only change colors.09:45
VeganChickWhere do I find the Cgwd themer?09:45
TheSheep_VeganChick: the yall use the same engine09:45
TheSheep_VeganChick: I think it's included with the compiz?09:46
troy_suiml.org is old TheSheep_09:46
VeganChickI guess I don't have compiz then09:46
troy_sVeganChick: You can only really change colour with murrine09:46
troy_sthe stylings are all hard coded (with a few 'changes' you can make via the config file)09:46
troy_sSOME looks will use it as a base09:46
troy_sand Pixbuf the rest09:46
troy_swhich means that you need BOTH engines installed to see the results VeganChick09:47
troy_suiml.org moved to that latter link i gave you09:47
troy_sin fact, VeganChick there is nothing stopping you from creating a theme based on 100 engines -- your end user will need all engines installed to see the results however.09:48
VeganChickhaha09:50
VeganChickI downloaded the compiz stuff available on the Synaptic Package Manager09:51
VeganChickbut I still need the cgwd themer to use this theme i like09:52
troy_sVeganChick: Most everything can be changed from the command line09:54
troy_sVeganChick: I would encourage you to figure out how so you aren't relying on some extra rubbish to confuse you09:54
troy_sTheSheep_: Did I mention it is great to have you back in the fold?09:54
VeganChickthe command "compiz-tray-icon" doesn't work10:03
TheSheep_troy_s: thank you10:06
TheSheep_troy_s: hm... uiml seems like just another layer of indirection -- the real work are the peers sections10:19
VeganChickcan anyone help me?10:20
VeganChicktrying to install compiz, the command "compiz-tray-icon" doesn't work10:20
TheSheep_VeganChick: I don't know, but the guys at #compiz or ubuntu-glx (or was it xgl?) will surely know10:21
VeganChickthere's a channel for everything...10:21
VeganChickhaha10:21
TheSheep_especially on freenode :)10:21
troy_sTheSheep_: Yeah I don't know about the actual implementation, but the ideas behind it are good.10:22
troy_sTheSheep_: It seems to be a working model of a much needed descriptor10:22
TheSheep_troy_s: you know why the split html/css works so good?10:23
TheSheep_troy_s: becuse it's usually different people who program the html-spitting part and the layout10:23
TheSheep_troy_s: in case of ui the separation is not so obvious10:23
