[01:55] <coz_> wow this is the least number of individuals I have seen logged on here!
[06:32] <troy_s> darkmatter: Ping
[06:32] <darkmatter> yo'
[06:34] <troy_s> darkmatter: Any progress?
[06:36] <darkmatter> lol.. barely.. been running errands for every tom, dick, and harry since yesterday. but am going to try a quick finish of the basics now... not much left as far as a beta goes.. just the sliders and lisview and check/radio and a few smallish tweaks
[06:45] <troy_s> darkmatter: Beta is good.
[06:45] <troy_s> darkmatter: Beta is very good.
[06:45] <troy_s> darkmatter: Seeing as how I intend to make a few minor tweaks, are you cool with that?
[06:46] <troy_s> (and by minor i mean the pills in the scrollbars and something akin to that for the progressbars.)
[06:51] <darkmatter> sure
[06:52] <darkmatter> I'll probably go a little more pill like with some of the widgets in a later build
[06:52] <darkmatter> for now I'm just slapping stuff together
[06:53] <darkmatter> there's some evil bugs with the gtkrc. but I'm not bothering on fixing them, as I'm working on a new rc anyway
[06:53] <troy_s> darkmatter: Great.  It's getting close to a packaging push so that's why I am curious.
[06:55] <darkmatter> right now I'm just fixing the radius on the text shadows and crap, and adjusting the colors. a lot of the old widgets are being reused, just tweaked, which is nice
[06:55] <darkmatter> saves me the trouble of having to completely redo everything
[06:57] <troy_s> yep
[06:57] <troy_s> that's the point, get it out the door.
[06:57] <darkmatter> going to 'attempt' slightly rounded tooltips with a nice gradient. round is kinda easy to pull off if you use compiz or beryl. the shadows create the illusion of rounded corners when used in conjunction with the pixmap
[06:58] <darkmatter> dunno if it'll work as well with straight metashitty though
[07:01] <troy_s> they is square
[07:02] <troy_s> the best 'cheat' i have seen is that slightly inset (1 pixel from edge) ring around them
[07:02] <troy_s> (again i htink it is spherecrystal that doe sthat)
[07:04] <darkmatter> yeah.. I do a 2 pix curve, and color the tooltip bg (not the pixmap overlay) to match as close to the shadow closest to tooltip
[07:05] <darkmatter> it works well enough. but until gtk supports proper transparency for the bg its as good as one can get
[07:06] <troy_s> darkmatter: Don't konw if you are interested, but LogoLounge released their 2007 summary
[07:06] <troy_s> http://www.logolounge.com/articles/default.asp?ArticleID=540
[07:06] <darkmatter> looking
[07:11] <darkmatter> cool
[07:12] <darkmatter> http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=471795155&size=o <--- finally. a decent theme for qt. still a bit to snapple with the grads n stuff
[07:12] <darkmatter> but better than the usual glossy web2.0 plastik crap
[07:33] <troy_s> amen
[07:33] <troy_s> "Gloss for glosses sake!
[08:01] <darkmatter> lol
[08:01] <darkmatter> hey, troy_s are you any good with firefox css?
[08:02] <darkmatter> one I get a basic beta done, I need someone who actually is *good* at making form widgets to build me a matching set ;)
[09:44] <darkmatter> troy_s, ping
[04:31] <troy_s> darkmatter: Negative.
[04:32] <troy_s> darkmatter: Or are you talking about strictly theming firefox.
