[02:00] or is it small/neutral enough [02:00] it seems to be neutral enough [02:00] just not all the widgets have been delined yet [02:02] nothlit, 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 handled [02:03] though with better shadowing [02:03] i think the effect could still maybe be toned down a bit being that the height is smaller [02:03] yeah [02:03] spiffy [02:03] darkmatter: i'd like some more emphasis on the text entry [02:04] although its difficult to tell when the focus is so tight [02:04] nothlit, yup.. there will be.. that was just a cheap mockup to see if the general idea would work with the rest of the ui [02:05] the diff between light/shadow will be more pronounced [02:05] darkmatter: ahh, well that it does :) [02:06] basically I want a gtk that for once feels sculpted instead of mashed together with a glue stick [02:07] still have half the widgets to revise, but most certainly have a release this weekend [02:08] i think your theme is going to be a building block for more real physics based themes [02:09] hopefully [02:10] thats part of the aim anyway... to redefine the approach to desugn as well as its implementation [02:10] *design [02:14] nothlit, 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 atm [02:17] basically 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's [02:19] the 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 document [02:21] it should feel *real*. just like a theme it should be a sculpture of sorts. kinda pseudo-organic in presentation [02:24] it 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 data [02:28] so 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 etc [02:28] anyway.. I'm rambling... talk later. break time. missus wants to use the computer ;) === nixternal [n=nixterna@ubuntu/member/pdpc.active.nixternal] has joined #ubuntu-artwork === yharrow_ [n=sysadmin@h-68-164-37-69.nycmny83.dynamic.covad.net] has joined #ubuntu-artwork === nixternal_ [n=nixterna@ubuntu/member/pdpc.active.nixternal] has joined #ubuntu-artwork === troy_s [n=aphorism@d206-116-6-170.bchsia.telus.net] has joined #ubuntu-artwork === joejaxx [i=joejaxx@alpha.joejaxx.net] has joined #ubuntu-artwork === nothlit`alpha [i=nothlit@alpha.joejaxx.net] has joined #ubuntu-artwork === mode/#ubuntu-artwork [+o troy_s] by ChanServ === ..[topic/#ubuntu-artwork:troy_s] : Welcome to #ubuntu-artwork! === mode/#ubuntu-artwork [-o troy_s] by troy_s === Madpilot [n=brian@ubuntu/member/madpilot] has joined #ubuntu-artwork === kwwii [n=kwwii@p5495639A.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-artwork === andreasn [n=andreas@h125n2fls306o1003.telia.com] has joined #ubuntu-artwork === bersace [n=bersace@81.185.32.206] has joined #ubuntu-artwork === PWill [n=paul@unaffiliated/pwill] has joined #ubuntu-artwork === bersace [n=bersace@81.185.32.206] has joined #ubuntu-artwork === X-Ception [n=IRC@pdpc/supporter/active/x-ception] has joined #ubuntu-artwork === darkmatter [n=darkmatt@unaffiliated/darkmatter] has joined #ubuntu-artwork === klepas [n=klepas@60-242-104-119.tpgi.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-artwork === elkbuntu [n=melissa@ppp30-116.lns1.syd6.internode.on.net] has joined #ubuntu-artwork === elkbuntu [n=melissa@ppp30-116.lns1.syd6.internode.on.net] has left #ubuntu-artwork ["blah"] === elkbuntu [n=melissa@ppp30-116.lns1.syd6.internode.on.net] has joined #ubuntu-artwork [05:26] hi elkbuntu [05:27] hi === X-Ception [n=SkitZooo@pdpc/supporter/active/x-ception] has joined #ubuntu-artwork === dborg [n=daniel@e182049213.adsl.alicedsl.de] has joined #ubuntu-artwork === nixternal_ [n=nixterna@ubuntu/member/pdpc.active.nixternal] has joined #ubuntu-artwork === elkbuntu_ [n=melissa@ubuntu/member/elkbuntu] has joined #ubuntu-artwork === artnay_ [i=artnay@divxfinland.org] has joined #ubuntu-artwork === PWill [n=paul@unaffiliated/pwill] has joined #ubuntu-artwork === troy_s [n=aphorism@d206-116-6-170.bchsia.telus.net] has joined #ubuntu-artwork === Seveas [n=seveas@ubuntu/member/seveas] has joined #ubuntu-artwork === bersace [n=bersace@81.185.32.206] has joined #ubuntu-artwork
