hbonshi21:54
Viper550hey lassegul22:17
lassegulViper550, hey Viper55022:22
lassegulViper550, whats up22:22
Viper550yeah, finally resetting me up a VM of Gutsy22:22
Viper550stupid computer needing to "steal" my Linux hard drive since it's own primary hard drive started to fail22:23
Viper550now I use virtualization22:23
lassegulok22:23
Viper550usin' Virtualbox on Winblows Vista22:24
lassegulthat sucks. wipe your vista drive and install gutsy then :D22:25
Viper550actually, I sorta like Vista22:25
Viper550I know, I sorta miss not being able to use Compiz Fusion...my newer computer has had a chance to natively run Ubuntu, I used Wubi when it ran XP22:25
lassegulyou what?22:26
Viper550Wubi, it's this loopback installation system for Ubuntu that can install it into a loopback image on a Windows partition. It's installed through Windows22:26
lassegulYeah, the guy that makes it is like 2 meters from me now22:27
lassegulbut you had some wierd typing error, where it almost sounded like you liked vista.22:27
Viper550I do think Vista is good. Although, I do have dreams of owning a Mac Pro one day22:28
lassegulits a free world.22:29
Viper550I do try to use open-source apps whenever I can22:30
Viper550I've been hindered because of the "loss" of my hard drive22:31
Viper550(one of my older computers had a 40gb secondary hd, I dual-booted Ubuntu and XP, later Fedora Core 5 and XP, and even Gentoo 2006 and XP for a little bit)22:32
Viper550I am going to try and contribute for 8.04 artwork-wise22:38
Viper550I plan on doing art for Gubuntu maybe23:00
KidProQuoViper550: I'm keen to get involved in gobuntu art too23:04
Viper550I was thinking maybe the "new" Clearlooks would be a good base23:06
KidProQuoyeah, it could be. What's changed from the "old" clearlooks?23:08
Viper550new widget style, "Gummy"23:09
Viper550bit more greyish, more of a babyish blue23:09
KidProQuook23:10
Viper550Gnome 2.20 default now...except on Ubuntu :)23:10
KidProQuothat could be a good or a bad thing from our view i suppose23:11
Viper550I mean, cause of course we have our own theme on Ubuntu :)23:12
KidProQuoyeah, I was meaning "our view" as potential gobuntu artists23:14
KidProQuoI quite liked your ideas on the mailing list23:17
KidProQuoI'm looking doing a combo of the cityscape and arrows at the mo' for possible wallpaper23:18
KidProQuomostly b&w photo with green arrows following the surface of the buildings23:19
Viper550love the whole new "gtk color scheme" system for themes23:19
KidProQuoI haven't had a look at it yet23:21
Viper550you know how you can specify custom colors in your Appearance properties now?23:21
KidProQuoI'm still using feisty. my upgrade didn't play nice with my laptop23:22
Viper550Feisty has that too23:22
Viper550just searchin "da' commons"23:23
Viper550for the wallpaper...temporary anyway23:25
KidProQuois there a place on the wiki for the gobuntu art yet?23:28
Viper550not sure23:28
Viper550thinking about that new Aurora GTK engine23:29
KidProQuoyup23:31
Viper550either that or ClearLooks...I want it to be friendly looking but nice, have it convey a freedom23:31
Viper550freedom....................from the ugly brown from the depths of Ubuntu lore23:32
KidProQuorofl23:33
KidProQuothat's one of the reasons I'm keen to get involved in gobuntu art. We can actually do something really new23:34
KidProQuoactually the branding from the start almost23:35
KidProQuo^actually *define* the branding^23:35
* Viper550 installs Aurora23:36
* KidProQuo goes to get lunch23:39
* Viper550 lives in EST23:39
Viper550currently, this is what the offical art looks like: http://birdhouse.org/~mnep/gobuntu.png23:51
