| Toma- | i like it... if it was developed any further tho it might look a little like the new mac background | 02:04 |
| _MMA_ | Thats _really_ slick. 1st "+1" email I ever sent. (usually those are just noise) | 02:06 |
| FrankQ_ | kind of wild, but nicely executed | 02:06 |
| FrankQ_ | it could be higher res | 02:07 |
| _MMA_ | 2560x1600!? | 02:08 |
| _MMA_ | :) | 02:08 |
| _MMA_ | Pretty big if you ask me. | 02:08 |
| FrankQ_ | well, yeah, saw that... but when zoomed in it's just not smooth. even on 1280x1024 there's blurry stuff. | 02:09 |
| FrankQ_ | (in places where it shouldn't be) | 02:09 |
| Toma- | yeh the "Take it or leave it" thing doesnt sound too fun | 02:09 |
| _MMA_ | FrankQ_: Blur could be on purpose. Dont know. Artifacting is what I would worry about. | 02:10 |
| FrankQ_ | I'm not good at distuinguishing both ;-) | 02:10 |
| FrankQ_ | Distinguishing* | 02:10 |
| FrankQ_ | I can only say that my first reaction isn't "woaaah this is smoooth" | 02:11 |
| _MMA_ | Kinda a "grainy" look. Though that might be of no help either. | 02:11 |
| _MMA_ | Toma-: "Take it or leave it" is how you get when people endlessly comment but actually "do" nothing. | 02:11 |
| Toma- | I thought it was an implication of the license | 02:12 |
| _MMA_ | "I" is the operative word. :) Most nitpick regardless. | 02:13 |
| Toma- | i already said I like it. | 02:13 |
| * _MMA_ is also just tired a being so cautious of "feelings". | 02:13 | |
| _MMA_ | Sure, but you said ""Take it or leave it" thing doesnt sound too fun" | 02:14 |
| Toma- | yeh | 02:14 |
| _MMA_ | Like that was offputting to you. | 02:14 |
| FrankQ_ | I didn't mean to be very nitpicky. | 02:14 |
| Toma- | it sounds like the author wont encourage any development | 02:14 |
| FrankQ_ | I do like the idea and the look. | 02:14 |
| _MMA_ | FrankQ_: Im just talking generally. | 02:15 |
| _MMA_ | Toma-: There's an accompanying email that is looking for input. | 02:15 |
| Toma- | Ahh ok then. | 02:15 |
| _MMA_ | But knowing the author it not gonna be up for wild changes. | 02:16 |
| _MMA_ | A bazillion posts saying do this or that. If it fits in with where Hardy or +1 will go, he'll be down for changes. Otherwise, it is what it is. | 02:17 |
| _MMA_ | Thats how I take it. | 02:17 |
| _MMA_ | Like I said in my email reply, It looks awesome on my 24" LCD. | 02:17 |
| Toma- | I didnt know there was so much meaning behind 'Take it or leave it'... | 02:18 |
| _MMA_ | Well I had the email as well. ;) | 02:18 |
| _MMA_ | As is, I suspect most will take some offense from it. Oh well. :P | 02:19 |
| Toma- | Not offended :) Just causes one of my eyebrows to raise unexpectedly | 02:20 |
| _MMA_ | Sure. I believe Who also did Xubuntu art work. | 02:21 |
| Toma- | oh cool | 02:21 |
| FrankQ_ | is it an issue that the resolution appears to be widescreen? | 02:21 |
| _MMA_ | No. Its 16:10. | 02:22 |
| _MMA_ | not 4:3 | 02:22 |
| FrankQ_ | huh, that's odd. | 02:23 |
| _MMA_ | No. pretty common now. Set you "Style" to "Zoom". | 02:23 |
| _MMA_ | Will crop the sides. | 02:23 |
| _MMA_ | But retain the aspect. | 02:23 |
| FrankQ_ | and uncenter the center ^_^ | 02:24 |
| FrankQ_ | but ok, then it's not unovercomable | 02:24 |
| _MMA_ | Its an abstract anyway. Not like there's a logo or something there. ;) | 02:25 |
| FrankQ_ | My n00bscore just got raised by one. | 02:27 |
| _MMA_ | Nobody's keeping score. :P | 02:28 |
| FrankQ_ | i'm glad. sometimes. | 02:28 |
| _MMA_ | Wallpaper sites where 16:10 is common: http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/index.php?sort=date http://www.mandolux.com | 02:30 |
| _MMA_ | There's more but its a LONG list. | 02:31 |
| * _MMA_ heads off to bed. | 02:31 | |
| FrankQ_ | Thanks, and night | 02:31 |

| luisbg | very nice idea | 20:51 |
| luisbg | but... | 20:51 |
| luisbg | wouldn't it be awesome to have a fela kuti saxo sample as the login sound? | 20:51 |
| luisbg | with some of his afrobeat in the background | 20:51 |
| luisbg | to keep the african theme | 20:51 |
| _MMA_ | hahahahaha http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/6892/screenshotig3.png :P | 23:05 |
| luisbg | why can something so ugly look good? | 23:27 |
