nothlitdarkmatter: poke--hows the theme going? :D01:49
darkmatternothlit, http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=522966812&size=o <-- starting to get solid ;)01:50
nothlitnice! the outlines are going01:52
nothlitthe hilight on the right side of the button looks a little funky--although its probably best to just down it down on both01:53
darkmatternothlit, yeas.. or just leave it at the bottom and chop the right shadow off. just leave the slightly darker edge01:54
nothlithmm yeah, right now some is @ 12 and some is at 10:30, that would definitely rectify it :)01:56
darkmatternothlit, I could also rectify it by making the button template 2 pix taller, and use the extra pixel at the bottom to extend the lower shadow01:58
darkmatterproblem with that though is it would really mess with the padding01:58
darkmatterbut one it goes to code that shouldnt be a problem01:59
darkmattercairo cheats being what they are01:59
nothlithmm does text ruin the 3d effect of the dropdown box?01:59
nothlitor is it small/neutral enough02:00
darkmatterit seems to be neutral enough02:00
darkmatterjust not all the widgets have been delined yet02:00
darkmatternothlit, just a crappy mockup http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=520599323&context=set-72157594488098254&size=o <--- but thats *basically* how the entries will be handled02:02
darkmatterthough with better shadowing02:03
nothliti think the effect could still maybe be toned down a bit being that the height is smaller02:03
darkmatteryeah02:03
nothlitspiffy02:03
nothlitdarkmatter: i'd like some more emphasis on the text entry02:03
nothlitalthough its difficult to tell when the focus is so tight02:04
darkmatternothlit, yup.. there will be.. that was just a cheap mockup to see if the general idea would work with the rest of the ui02:04
darkmatterthe diff between light/shadow will be more pronounced02:05
nothlitdarkmatter: ahh, well that it does :)02:05
darkmatterbasically I want a gtk that for once feels sculpted instead of mashed together with a glue stick02:06
darkmatterstill have half the widgets to revise, but most certainly have a release this weekend02:07
nothliti think your theme is going to be a building block for more real physics based themes02:08
darkmatterhopefully02:09
darkmatterthats part of the aim anyway... to redefine the approach to desugn as well as its implementation02:10
darkmatter*design02:10
darkmatternothlit, then its on to stage two... doing the mockups of Dionysus. a system/media library application I've been planning (on paper at least) for a while now... its also basically a proof of concept for a *big picture* project thats just a dream atm02:14
darkmatterbasically I have an intresting perspective on ui design, other than painting/sculpting and drawing random surreal crap, I LOVE sitting down with a sketchpad and storyboarding ui's02:17
darkmatterthe approach I use differs from the traditional in that I approach an app for what it basically is. instead of just copying the standard practise.. I approach it as an interactive document02:19
darkmatterit should feel *real*. just like a theme it should be a sculpture of sorts. kinda pseudo-organic in presentation02:21
darkmatterit should also be *live* to an extent instead of purely static. so basically, for example, regarding Dionysus, it would adapt to "where" you are in your data02:24
darkmatterso if your in music.. it would basically become a media player, in pictures it would become *fspotish*, if you're in "work"/"office" whatever it would becom a todo-list/task manager/calandar.. if your in people.. it would become an address book with direct one click links to compose email/send IM's, inirtiate sendto's etc02:28
darkmatteranyway.. I'm rambling... talk later. break time. missus wants to use the computer ;)02:28
