| troy_s | kwwii: Nice to see that you published some bits to the gutsy incoming page. | 01:00 |
|---|---|---|
| kwwii | troy_s: there will be more coming soon | 01:00 |
| troy_s | wholly crappers | 01:01 |
| troy_s | have you tried the new melt / etc mode in inkscape? | 01:01 |
| kwwii | if nothing else, it might show people what kind of colors we want | 01:01 |
| troy_s | all i can say is _wow_ | 01:01 |
| kwwii | troy_s: no, but I saw the function - i used something similar in illustrator before | 01:02 |
| troy_s | kwwii: Actually, that was a question -- what are the odds that you could wrestle for some colour into it? As in pump a pinch of those triplets we worked out decades ago. | 01:02 |
| kwwii | really handy for just drawing | 01:02 |
| troy_s | kwwii: It has roughen too. Very amazing. | 01:02 |
| kwwii | hehe, funny enough I was just looking at the mail you sent me with the color palettes ;-) | 01:02 |
| troy_s | kwwii: I really think that in terms of the minute 'increments' (if you can call them that) that might be a very valuable one. | 01:03 |
| troy_s | kwwii: One further step towards something akin to a palette. | 01:04 |
| kwwii | yepp, that was what I was thinking too | 01:04 |
| troy_s | kwwii: Also, what are the bits you are going to require for an included optional theme? | 01:04 |
| kwwii | no requirements at all | 01:04 |
| troy_s | kwwii: GDM / Wallpaper? | 01:04 |
| troy_s | kwwii: Elements I was speaking. | 01:04 |
| troy_s | kwwii: Sorry. | 01:04 |
| kwwii | we need to get people contributing - I'll include anything that is halfway decent | 01:05 |
| kwwii | we need to reassure people that their work is appreciated | 01:06 |
| troy_s | kwwii: Hrm... so where will this end up? | 01:06 |
| troy_s | kwwii: And people contributing is relatively easy if you can spec something up to the discreet componentry. | 01:07 |
| troy_s | kwwii: For example, with the wallpaper, to prevent the scattering of effort you could perhaps spec up several details that you want included and stamp a palette onto the requirements. | 01:07 |
| kwwii | anything that is not a "full" theme (gdm and wallpaper or more) will end up in an extra package called something like "community themes/artwork" | 01:07 |
| troy_s | kwwii: With that very clear 'don't step outside of this palette' rules. | 01:07 |
| troy_s | kwwii: So the question then turns to 'what is a full theme'? | 01:08 |
| troy_s | kwwii: As there isn't really a good 'artwork' gui to handle all of the bits. | 01:08 |
| kwwii | a full theme would be at least gdm, wallpaper and color scheme, I guess | 01:08 |
| kwwii | yes, giving a palette to stick to would make things harder at first for people, but better in the long run | 01:09 |
| kwwii | the missing gui functionality is the worst part of all | 01:09 |
| kwwii | because something that is not a total theme would only end up in the list of possible parts | 01:09 |
| troy_s | kwwii: I was also quite impressed that you took that particle smasher idea from ages ago. It works well and COULD appeal to shuttlebutt. | 01:11 |
| troy_s | kwwii: He seems into that space / tech thing. | 01:11 |
| troy_s | kwwii: If I had to loosely describe it. | 01:11 |
| kwwii | yeah, he found my version a bit too reddish but I am still working on it | 01:11 |
| troy_s | kwwii: And if you provide say, three colours for the guys to work with you at least eliminate all the rubbish that people tend to poop out. | 01:12 |
| troy_s | kwwii: How the hell is it too reddish? Jeebus h christ. | 01:12 |
| troy_s | kwwii: The palette is almost a must-have considering the ultimate judge. | 01:12 |
| kwwii | hehe, no doubt - he knows exactly what he wants - if only we all could understand that better | 01:14 |
| kwwii | I'll add some color stuff to the wiki page tomorrow | 01:14 |
| kwwii | time for sleep soon | 01:15 |
| troy_s | kwwii: he has no clue exactly what he wants | 01:15 |
| troy_s | kwwii: In fact, he tends to be closer to an amoeba than anything else. | 01:15 |
| troy_s | kwwii: When it comes to him weighing in on styles. | 01:15 |
| kwwii | ;-) | 01:16 |
| troy_s | kwwii: Oh crappers | 01:22 |
| troy_s | kwwii: I forgot to mention, perhaps attach the breezy/hoary walls to show the people what you are talking about. | 01:22 |
| troy_s | kwwii: On the wiki page -- pretty sure they have no clue. | 01:22 |
| troy_s | kwwii: iirc bersace put them in the archives on the wiki | 01:22 |
| troy_s | kwwii: or at least one of them | 01:23 |
| troy_s | kwwii: probably a good 'update' to your original email. | 01:23 |
| kwwii | good idea, I was wondering if anyone even looked at them | 01:23 |
| troy_s | kwwii: I don't think so :) | 01:24 |
| troy_s | kwwii: But it certainly would help to steer towards something usable or generate decent ideas as 'spins' on that implementation | 01:24 |
| troy_s | kwwii: I wonder who did those earlier walls. | 01:25 |
| kwwii | one of them was a guy we paid to do feisty work, but he got somehow just disappeared after offering random crap | 01:26 |
| kwwii | and the other one was a guy who worked for the advertising agency we used to use (now we have a new one) | 01:26 |
| kwwii | well, I should be more on the ball with this stuff, but I am also working on several other projects at the same time | 01:27 |
| kwwii | I've talked to them about that though and in the future I will do almost nothing but desktop work | 01:27 |
| kwwii | I've got my eyes open for a few new people - artists, usablity, interface design, etc. | 01:29 |
| kwwii | anyway...time for sleep - see you soon | 01:31 |
