[16:39] <kwwii> w00t
[16:39] <kwwii> http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20071101-hardy-heron-visual-theme-planned-at-the-ubuntu-developer-summit.html
[16:39] <kwwii> we made it on the front page
[16:59] <lapo> oh cool
[19:10] <Viper550> hello?
[21:52] <Viper550> hi?
[21:54] <hbons> hi
[22:17] <Viper550> hey lassegul
[22:22] <lassegul> Viper550, hey Viper550
[22:22] <lassegul> Viper550, whats up
[22:22] <Viper550> yeah, finally resetting me up a VM of Gutsy
[22:23] <Viper550> stupid computer needing to "steal" my Linux hard drive since it's own primary hard drive started to fail
[22:23] <Viper550> now I use virtualization
[22:23] <lassegul> ok
[22:24] <Viper550> usin' Virtualbox on Winblows Vista
[22:25] <lassegul> that sucks. wipe your vista drive and install gutsy then :D
[22:25] <Viper550> actually, I sorta like Vista
[22:25] <Viper550> I 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 XP
[22:26] <lassegul> you what?
[22:26] <Viper550> Wubi, it's this loopback installation system for Ubuntu that can install it into a loopback image on a Windows partition. It's installed through Windows
[22:27] <lassegul> Yeah, the guy that makes it is like 2 meters from me now
[22:27] <lassegul> but you had some wierd typing error, where it almost sounded like you liked vista.
[22:28] <Viper550> I do think Vista is good. Although, I do have dreams of owning a Mac Pro one day
[22:29] <lassegul> its a free world.
[22:30] <Viper550> I do try to use open-source apps whenever I can
[22:31] <Viper550> I've been hindered because of the "loss" of my hard drive
[22:32] <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)
[22:38] <Viper550> I am going to try and contribute for 8.04 artwork-wise
[23:00] <Viper550> I plan on doing art for Gubuntu maybe
[23:04] <KidProQuo> Viper550: I'm keen to get involved in gobuntu art too
[23:06] <Viper550> I was thinking maybe the "new" Clearlooks would be a good base
[23:08] <KidProQuo> yeah, it could be. What's changed from the "old" clearlooks?
[23:09] <Viper550> new widget style, "Gummy"
[23:09] <Viper550> bit more greyish, more of a babyish blue
[23:10] <KidProQuo> ok
[23:10] <Viper550> Gnome 2.20 default now...except on Ubuntu :)
[23:11] <KidProQuo> that could be a good or a bad thing from our view i suppose
[23:12] <Viper550> I mean, cause of course we have our own theme on Ubuntu :)
[23:14] <KidProQuo> yeah, I was meaning "our view" as potential gobuntu artists
[23:17] <KidProQuo> I quite liked your ideas on the mailing list
[23:18] <KidProQuo> I'm looking doing a combo of the cityscape and arrows at the mo' for possible wallpaper
[23:19] <KidProQuo> mostly b&w photo with green arrows following the surface of the buildings
[23:19] <Viper550> love the whole new "gtk color scheme" system for themes
[23:21] <KidProQuo> I haven't had a look at it yet
[23:21] <Viper550> you know how you can specify custom colors in your Appearance properties now?
[23:22] <KidProQuo> I'm still using feisty. my upgrade didn't play nice with my laptop
[23:22] <Viper550> Feisty has that too
[23:23] <Viper550> just searchin "da' commons"
[23:25] <Viper550> for the wallpaper...temporary anyway
[23:28] <KidProQuo> is there a place on the wiki for the gobuntu art yet?
[23:28] <Viper550> not sure
[23:29] <Viper550> thinking about that new Aurora GTK engine
[23:31] <KidProQuo> yup
[23:31] <Viper550> either that or ClearLooks...I want it to be friendly looking but nice, have it convey a freedom
[23:32] <Viper550> freedom....................from the ugly brown from the depths of Ubuntu lore
[23:33] <KidProQuo> rofl
[23:34] <KidProQuo> that's one of the reasons I'm keen to get involved in gobuntu art. We can actually do something really new
[23:35] <KidProQuo> actually the branding from the start almost
[23:35] <KidProQuo> ^actually *define* the branding^
[23:36]  * Viper550 installs Aurora
[23:39]  * KidProQuo goes to get lunch
[23:39]  * Viper550 lives in EST
[23:51] <Viper550> currently, this is what the offical art looks like: http://birdhouse.org/~mnep/gobuntu.png
