lassegul | hi guys. im lassegullvgstrre2 from the wiki, posted early version of a thingy called borders, and working on a retrobuntu wp. Im wondering, are we having any succsess with getting a palette made? | 03:24 |
lassegul | *for gutsy | 03:26 |
kwwii | lassegul: I am working on defining a few colors as we speak | 03:36 |
kwwii | lassegul: look at the pics at the top of the page, they define the colors pretty well | 03:36 |
kwwii | brown, brown, brown, and a yellowish brown and orangish brown :-) | 03:37 |
lassegul | i never knew that :) | 03:38 |
lassegul | that damianvila guy is talented. I never liked that the colour themes got brighter from warty to edgy. His dark red brown thing is way cool | 03:40 |
kwwii | yepp | 03:46 |
troy_s | greets all | 03:47 |
kwwii | btw...the defualt artwork is not really up to a vote | 03:47 |
kwwii | just to clear that point p now ;-) | 03:47 |
kwwii | hi troy_s | 03:47 |
lassegul | yeah, I got thatb but I was hoping that we could get active enough to make that happen i gutsy+ (hungry hippo) tho. | 03:49 |
kwwii | lassegul: but I intend to include any images that are liked well enough in a community wallpaper package | 03:49 |
lassegul | kwwii: cool | 03:49 |
troy_s | main problem is that apparently we can't even get off the ground running when there are two templates already to follow. | 03:50 |
troy_s | there isn't a single image on that wiki that is even close to the breezy / hoary walls. | 03:50 |
lassegul | troy_s: true. like the one with the mountains and the lame effects. But some of these just needs more work to be good. | 03:51 |
troy_s | well not if shuttle starts out of the gate with a distinct and very clear goal. | 03:52 |
lassegul | troy_s: i dont follow...? | 03:52 |
troy_s | and yes, quite frankly i am sick to death of fecking wallpapers that aren't anything more than plugin and canned effects. | 03:52 |
troy_s | i could name five to ten art directors that would not only throw your resume in the garbage but also publically flog your work at the first sight of canned effects / plugin usage. | 03:53 |
lassegul | troy_s: glass is half empty,eh? | 03:54 |
troy_s | lassegul: Not at all. | 03:55 |
lassegul | troy_s: could i send you a .png for feedback? | 03:55 |
troy_s | lassegul: And what I was trying to get at is that kwwii very clearly states the goal at the top of the wiki page. | 03:56 |
lassegul | something unique... | 03:56 |
troy_s | lassegul: I believe that was handed down from 'on high' and that means that he was probably very particular with the request. | 03:56 |
kwwii | hehe, even if I fscked up the names on the pics :p | 03:56 |
troy_s | lassegul: You can send me whatever you wish. | 03:56 |
troy_s | kwwii: Yeah lol. | 03:56 |
kwwii | troy_s: funnier still is that I even tried to fix it once :p | 03:56 |
lassegul | troy_s: youve got an email adress? | 03:57 |
troy_s | kwwii: The good news is that you found both and published them | 03:58 |
troy_s | kwwii: Although Dapper's wallpaper is simply shite compared to those two. | 03:58 |
kwwii | yeah, I was thinking about removing it | 03:59 |
kwwii | (and the file names) | 03:59 |
troy_s | kwwii: JunkAssDesigns work or whatever his name is. Chris? | 04:00 |
lassegul | kwwii: i think the warty is a little flat but its colours are really something | 04:00 |
kwwii | I only included it because it does have the right kind of colors | 04:00 |
troy_s | kwwii: The damn colours are the only weak part in both of those. Not so much the base, but the fact that shuttle is completely oblique on palettes. | 04:00 |
kwwii | can't remember his name although I did meet him in person | 04:00 |
troy_s | kwwii: I think it was Chris, but I can't be certain. | 04:01 |
troy_s | kwwii: I think if you can sneak steal cheat a triplet or quad colour scheme into the mix with the brown as a base, we could call that a win. | 04:05 |
troy_s | lassegul: you sending that? i have a nasty bit of turnaround before call today (tomorrow) | 04:06 |
kwwii | troy_s: not sure if adding anything other than browns/yellow/orange will be useful in creating a pic that will be accepted | 04:09 |
troy_s | kwwii: More of the same then I assume. It's a hideous state of affairs. | 04:10 |
lassegul | troy_s: im sorry, im not a native english speaker. what do you mean? | 04:12 |
troy_s | Ok. Got to jet. Out for now. | 04:12 |
troy_s | night guys | 04:12 |
elkbuntu | btw, my mother was annoyed that "the pretty tree thing with the logo snowflakes"(her words) wasn't an provided option, hehe | 04:12 |
troy_s | (or morning) | 04:12 |
lassegul | troy_s: bye | 04:13 |
troy_s | elkbuntu: Largely because it is again -- more evocative. | 04:13 |
elkbuntu | troy_s, yes. explain that to a user though | 04:13 |
troy_s | elkbuntu: It is pretty easy to turn a mainstream user's attention simply by embracing something that communicates SOMETHING. | 04:13 |
troy_s | elkbuntu: You don't need to -- your mainstream user will know those things. As should anyone calling themselves a designer or what not. | 04:14 |
troy_s | Once again, the cornerstones of all successful design: Audience and Communication | 04:14 |
=== troy_s outs. | ||
lassegul | kwwii: whats the audience and what do we want to communicate? | 04:16 |
lassegul | *who's | 04:16 |

kwwii | the person who gets to pick the pic, so to speak is sabdfl | 04:17 |
kwwii | and he knows exactly what he wants | 04:17 |
kwwii | that is why I posted to the other pics, as he wants something along those lines | 04:18 |
lassegul | kwwii: are you working on anything now? | 04:21 |
kwwii | lassegul: yepp, I am working on several things (and several other projects) | 04:21 |
lassegul | kwwii: ok. you have a worklog, portfolio or something? | 04:22 |
kwwii | lassegul: of everything I have done artistically you mean? | 04:23 |
lassegul | kwwii: no, ubuntu-wise. Ive obviously seen the edgy thing (which i presume you made?), but have you done any other ubuntu stuff that didnt go official? | 04:24 |
kwwii | well, I have done several kubuntu releases | 04:24 |
lassegul | im sorry for unclear english | 04:24 |
kwwii | and I did feisty for ubuntu, not edgy | 04:25 |
lassegul | kwwii for feisty? What did you do? | 04:25 |
kwwii | pretty much everything | 04:25 |
lassegul | the ubuntu logo at usplash is really nice. Thats the thing that really blew me off, just by adding a little backlight to it, looked great. | 04:26 |
lassegul | blew me off is very wrong use of words | 04:27 |
lassegul | anyways, if you made it, i just wanted to say, it looks great. | 04:28 |
lassegul | kwwii: you know who made that ubuntu chocholate wp? | 04:38 |
kwwii | lassegul: nope | 04:39 |
lassegul | kwwii: but you dont like the one made by damianvila? I thought it was nice? | 04:44 |
kwwii | I think it is nice too, but I do not think it has what it takes to be default | 04:45 |
lassegul | but i thought this wasnt a contest for which wp that was going to be default? | 04:48 |

nothlit | elkbuntu: theres an ubuntu pretty tree thing with falling CoF's? | 05:52 |
elkbuntu | i cant remember what it was called. it was on the cd with dapper | 05:52 |
elkbuntu | mum didnt like it when we reinstalled her machine with feisty and it wasnt there | 05:53 |
lassegul | elkbuntu: think it was dawn of ubuntu? something like that... | 06:04 |
elkbuntu | ah yes | 06:11 |
nothlit | oh that one lol | 06:15 |

jeromeg | hello | 06:38 |
jeromeg | does someone know where I can find a higher resolution of the last wallpaper on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/GutsyIdeas ? | 06:39 |
lassegul | I dont know, but all you have to do is find the photo, add some rippleeffect in Gimp, and add the logo, turn opacity to 20%, and with 3% opacity write ubuntu at the bottom. It practicly makes itself | 06:46 |

lassegul | im having some trouble with inkscape. I have a fairly strong computer with a X2 4200+ CPU and 2 gig ram. But inkscape becomes terribly slow with just 10 transparent objects. And the export time is also really slow. anyone know anything about this? | 06:49 |
jeromeg | lassegul: but I can't find the original picture :) | 06:49 |
jeromeg | lassegul: I had this problem with compiz on | 06:49 |
lassegul | jeromeg: i think im going to try out xara | 06:50 |
jeromeg | lassegul: it's nice too | 06:50 |
lassegul | jeromeg: that ranting above about it practicly makes itself was sarcasm, im sorry if i wasnt clear :) | 06:50 |
jeromeg | lassegul: :) | 06:51 |

nothlit | they don't look bad, i'd prefer something less generic :P | 07:38 |
nothlit | lassegul: i think a more organic approach will work better with ubuntu | 07:46 |

troy_s | lassegul: Yes -- compile from SVN and you will have that problem fixed. | 10:46 |
troy_s | lassegul: Inkscape moves at a _tremendous_ pace -- there are many many features added from the last version. | 10:46 |
troy_s | lassegul: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/HowToCompileInkscape | 10:48 |
troy_s | lassegul: That should get you going down the path. | 10:49 |
