| troy_s | gouki: You can grab those from the wiki | 07:00 |
| gouki | troy_s, link? I searched but couldn't find any that fitted my needs | 07:01 |
| troy_s | gouki: There are svg versions there -- just pull the svg component out. | 07:02 |
| troy_s | wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork | 07:02 |
| troy_s | should be a good starting point | 07:02 |
| troy_s | iirc its under 'official' | 07:02 |
| gouki | troy_s, ok. I'm gonna give it a try. Not too good at these things, though :) | 07:03 |
| gouki | I just made the logo. Selection editor from Gimp is fun :) | 07:06 |
| troy_s | gouki: Inkscape is far superior for that sort of thing. | 07:10 |
| gouki | troy_s, I've been told the same thing. I'll look into it the next time I need to do something like these (I hope I don't have to in a long time) | 07:11 |
| troy_s | gouki: You might want to enlist the help of others if it isn't your cup of tea. | 07:12 |
| troy_s | gouki: There are quite a few willing and capable people out there generally. | 07:12 |
| gouki | troy_s, I've been searching for help for a long time. Posts fetched by Planet Ubuntu and IRC channels. No luck so far. I'll try and do it myself :) | 07:13 |
| troy_s | gouki: Well what are you trying to do? | 07:13 |
| troy_s | gouki: I have a very few short minutes here... I could probably do it for you rather quickly. | 07:14 |
| gouki | troy_s, first I wanted help for UbuntuWeblogs.org - I was able to do all I needed by myself | 07:14 |
| gouki | I'm now working on UbuntuBackstage.org - I only needed to change the color scheme (Drupal has a nice interface for that) and create a logo | 07:15 |
| gouki | Since I didn't find anyone to do it, I'm going with the Ubuntu logo | 07:15 |
| gouki | For the logo (which is the only thing I need now) I wanted to have one of those old microphones (used on interviews) on top of the Ubuntu logo | 07:15 |
| troy_s | gouki: Unfortunately, for something that simple, your probably best to simply use the ubuntu pill. | 07:16 |
| troy_s | gouki: And unfortunately there is no official palette, so you are left with guessy crap to get colours in the range. | 07:16 |
| gouki | troy_s, yeah! :( I tried doing by guess (didn't come out very good though) | 07:17 |
| gouki | Ubuntu pill?! | 07:17 |
| troy_s | gouki: The 'lozenge' | 07:17 |
| gouki | troy_s, ohh, yeah. That's what I did (I'm uploading now) | 07:17 |
| troy_s | gouki: If you want two simple things, _only_ use the ubuntu font on the word 'ubuntu' -- it is completely godawful ugly for anything else. | 07:17 |
| BHSPitMonkey | troy_s, some people use it for their whole desktop (menus, etc) | 07:18 |
| gouki | I searched for the Ubuntu font, but I read on several weblog posts that there wasn't one :| | 07:18 |
| troy_s | BHSPitMonkey: There is no accounting for lack of ability to see poor fonts. | 07:18 |
| BHSPitMonkey | gouki, it's called continuum, and you can download it from the official artwork I believe. | 07:18 |
| gouki | That's why I used the one below the word 'ubuntu' on UbuntuWeblogs.org | 07:18 |
| troy_s | no | 07:19 |
| troy_s | it is called ubuntu-title-font iirc | 07:19 |
| troy_s | sorry | 07:19 |
| BHSPitMonkey | or "Continuum" | 07:19 |
| troy_s | ttf-ubuntu-title | 07:19 |
| troy_s | sudo aptitude install ttf-ubuntu-title | 07:19 |
| troy_s | it is really just an implementation of another pre-existing font, minus the proper typespace etc. | 07:20 |
| troy_s | LOL | 07:21 |
| troy_s | http://blog.eachday.com/2007/8/1/bubble-logo-insanity | 07:21 |
| gouki | troy_s, can you change the image located on UbuntuWeblogs.org? | 07:21 |
| troy_s | whats worse, some people have managed to make speech bubbles with that horribly dated reflection shiny glossy shit in it. | 07:21 |
| troy_s | gouki: I could if you want me to, | 07:21 |
| troy_s | gouki: To what? | 07:21 |
| BHSPitMonkey | troy_s, RE: the official palette, is the Ubuntu Palette you can download on Artwork/Official not official? | 07:21 |
| gouki | troy_s, the logo now has 'Planet Ubuntu Users' written on some font I can't remember. I wanted to change that and write it with the official font | 07:22 |
| troy_s | BHSPitMonkey: Well there _is_ a palette used in the logo -- but that isn't a palette. | 07:22 |
| troy_s | BHSPitMonkey: The design palette is non-existent | 07:22 |
| gouki | troy_s, the original image: http://www.ubuntu.com/htdocs/ubuntuwebsite/img/u-headerlogo.png (without the Planet Ubuntu Users text) | 07:23 |
| troy_s | gouki: hrm... hard for me to fake that | 07:28 |
| troy_s | gouki: bar pill... | 07:28 |
| troy_s | gouki: I can easily do something close, but you might need to adjust the header for the portion that doesn't have the logo | 07:28 |
| gouki | troy_s, I just want to add the text 'Planet Ubuntu Users' below 'UBUNTU' - Just like it is now, but with the official font | 07:29 |
| troy_s | gouki: Again, I would advise against using the official font in that capacity, but if you want that, it is pretty simple. | 07:29 |
| troy_s | gouki: The main problem is that the 'ubuntu' should migrate up if you want text below it. | 07:29 |
| troy_s | gouki: Let me show you a sample. | 07:29 |
| troy_s | gouki: Can you dcc get? | 07:37 |
| gouki | troy_s, sure! :) | 07:37 |
| === PWill [n=paul@unaffiliated/pwill] has joined #ubuntu-artwork | ||
| troy_s | gouki: The colour isn't probably spot on -- I used a sample colour pick from that blob. | 07:38 |
| gouki | troy_s, it looks pretty good! :) | 07:39 |
| troy_s | gouki: That is what I meant by not using that nasty font on the text bits. | 07:39 |
| troy_s | gouki: Anyways, if you want something like that, you just need to give me your banner requirements. | 07:39 |
| troy_s | gouki: Obviously the 'text' portion is a left set chunk, the rest is a repeat? | 07:39 |
| gouki | troy_s, yeah. Exactly | 07:40 |
| troy_s | gouki: Give me a second | 07:41 |
| troy_s | gouki: You have the dimensions you want? | 07:41 |
| troy_s | gouki: As in height? | 07:41 |
| gouki | troy_s, :| No. Sorry to tell you, but, it's up to you :) | 07:42 |
| troy_s | gouki: I'll just use the same one. Hold tight a few. | 07:42 |
| gouki | troy_s, sure! :) Thanks | 07:42 |
| troy_s | gouki: I'll give you a high resolution version and you can scale it. | 07:59 |
| gouki | troy_s, I think it's better if you give me the image with the correct resolution so I just replace it with the current one :) | 08:00 |
| troy_s | ok | 08:00 |
| gouki | I may screw things up! Heheh | 08:00 |
| troy_s | gouki: How big is the tile piece? | 08:03 |
| gouki | troy_s, tile piece!? :| | 08:04 |
| troy_s | gouki: The part that carries on where there is no logo (repeated?) | 08:04 |
| troy_s | gouki: That completes the banner. | 08:04 |
| gouki | troy_s, ohhh. Just a second. | 08:04 |
| gouki | troy_s, 10x90: http://www.ubuntu.com/htdocs/ubuntuwebsite/img/u-header.png | 08:05 |
| troy_s | gouki: Ok try these two | 08:09 |
| gouki | troy_s, I'll give it a try | 08:09 |
| troy_s | gouki: Not ideal, but a close variant on the pre-existing style. | 08:09 |
| troy_s | gouki: They should be more or less plug and play | 08:10 |
| gouki | troy_s, howww! I replaced the image but it doesn't show up! :| | 08:13 |
| troy_s | gouki: You will need to make sure that the two images I gave you match the image titles of the existing code set. | 08:15 |
| gouki | troy_s, they do. I just checked the .CSS | 08:15 |
| troy_s | gouki: as in u-headerlogo.png and u-header.png | 08:15 |
| gouki | Yeah. Just checked and everything matches! :| | 08:16 |
| troy_s | i don't know what to say, something is incorrectly named. | 08:16 |
| troy_s | show me the images on the server in single form | 08:16 |
| troy_s | as in the full uri's | 08:16 |
| troy_s | gouki: Can you do that? | 08:17 |
| gouki | troy_s, it's permissions problems. Fixing it now :) | 08:18 |
| troy_s | yeah that's the other thing I was going to suggest | 08:18 |
| troy_s | lol | 08:18 |
| gouki | They were 600 and need to be 664 | 08:18 |
| troy_s | as the page now stands, i also get "framebuster is not defined | 08:19 |
| troy_s | http://ubuntuweblogs.org/ | 08:19 |
| troy_s | Line 1" from firebug | 08:19 |
| gouki | Check it now | 08:20 |
| troy_s | gouki: It works, but firefub still trips | 08:21 |
| gouki | Does FireBug have anything to say!? I have this love/hate relationship with him :P | 08:21 |
| troy_s | framebuster is not defined | 08:21 |
| troy_s | http://ubuntuweblogs.org/ | 08:21 |
| troy_s | Line 1 | 08:21 |
| gouki | Framebuster? | 08:21 |
| troy_s | <body onload="framebuster()"> | 08:21 |
| troy_s | line nineteen of the skript | 08:21 |
| troy_s | line 3 of the html? | 08:22 |
| gouki | I have no idea! :| | 08:23 |
| gouki | Ohhh! Think I found it. | 08:24 |
| gouki | Does he still complain? | 08:24 |
| gouki | troy_s, he probably does. I changed index.html.tmpl and the python scripts only runs in 4 minutes to generate the new index.html | 08:26 |
| gouki | I'm launching the script manually to see if it fixes the 'framebuster' error | 08:27 |
| gouki | New index.html generated... | 08:27 |
| troy_s | gouki: I'll refresh | 08:28 |
| troy_s | gouki: Firebug likes you again. | 08:28 |
| gouki | troy_s, LOL | 08:28 |
| troy_s | gouki: Again, that implementation I gave you is far from optimal -- the composition of the banner the way it ends up in a web page is rather far off left. | 08:29 |
| troy_s | gouki: But It works. | 08:29 |
| gouki | troy_s, yeah. And it actually looks good :) | 08:29 |
| troy_s | gouki: Anyways, if you have any needs, drop me an email and I'll try to pinch them out when I am doing my other routine bits. | 08:30 |
| gouki | troy_s, thank you very much! :) | 08:31 |
| troy_s | gouki: No problem. Just drop me an email. | 08:31 |
| troy_s | gouki: And loosely restate that I bumped into you on IRC so that my old greymatter doesn't pull a 'wtf' | 08:31 |
| gouki | troy_s, sure thing. Just got it from your profile on Launchpad. Heheh! OK :) | 08:32 |
