| troy_s | hbons: No idea. Well beyond my guesswork. | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| troy_s | hbons: I believe that the Fela Kuti wallpaper has a _lot_ going for it. | 00:03 |
| hbons | yeah, it's very cool | 00:03 |
| troy_s | hbons: 1) It steps us in the right direction away from the absolutely amateur monochromatic rubbish we have been seeing. | 00:03 |
| hbons | much better indeed | 00:03 |
| troy_s | hbons: 2) It is a deft application of artistry (Ash did a good job) | 00:03 |
| hbons | is there a deadline for art packaging? | 00:04 |
| troy_s | hbons: 3) It is at least a _step_ in the right direction regarding content -- a migration away from the overly fearful and completely abstract 'blah' wallpapers. | 00:04 |
| troy_s | hbons: And yes, there is a deadline, but I think that kwwii could probably apply 'tweaks' on the given packages assuming they are settled. | 00:05 |
| hbons | i'd like to propose this one as an alternative icon set, like Tangerine: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Hardy/Alternate/Discovery | 00:05 |
| hbons | i think it goed well with the Fela Kuti wallpaper;) | 00:05 |
| troy_s | hbons: Have you been working on anything? | 01:11 |
| hbons | troy_s: only icons | 01:11 |
| troy_s | hbons: Is discovery yours? | 01:11 |
| hbons | yeah | 01:11 |
| troy_s | hbons: Oh how interesting. | 01:11 |
| troy_s | hbons: Have you created any icons outside of the Tango style? | 01:12 |
| hbons | not very much | 01:12 |
| hbons | but i think i could:) | 01:13 |
| troy_s | hbons: Do you have a link with more of your bits online? | 01:13 |
| hbons | troy_s: well there's my blog http://bomahy.nl/hylke/blog/(but most images don't work at the moment) and http://hbons.deviantart.com/ not very much | 01:15 |
| mohbana | hey guys | 13:34 |
| mohbana | anyone here? | 13:35 |
| mohbana | please use my name when texting back | 14:00 |
| mohbana | thanks | 14:01 |
| troy_s | mohbana: What's up? | 15:45 |
| mohbana | troy_s, what hex does ubuntu does for that orange? | 15:46 |
| troy_s | mohbana: That should all be on the wiki | 15:46 |
| mohbana | do you have the ling? | 15:46 |
| mohbana | king | 15:46 |
| mohbana | link lol | 15:46 |
| troy_s | mohbana: Bear in mind that the colour is a logo colour. | 15:46 |
| ArthurArchnix | hiya... I've just spent the last six hours making a custom theme, but I've only managed to do the 48x48 folder. I was wondering how you guys scale this down. I'm hoping there's a program that will recursively scan a directory, resize pngs, ignore symlinks.... and so on. Is there such a magical creature? | 21:24 |
| ArthurArchnix | Oh, and by making, I mean taking all my fav's and putting them into one. :P | 21:25 |
| nothlit | grr, the wiki is full of clutter | 21:25 |
| nothlit | there is a set of icon naming utils from tango | 21:26 |
| nothlit | you need to optimise the smaller sizes by hand depending on the ratio | 21:26 |
| ArthurArchnix | Oh yeah...? I was thinking of just using convert or this alpha program here called phatch, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=466598 | 21:28 |
| nothlit | ArthurArchnix: http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Theme_Guidelines#Sizes | 21:34 |
| ArthurArchnix | Reading through it now nothlit, thanks for that link. I started by copying the human icon theme. I like the human theme, but I wanted to sub in my own icons for some things, like folders and apps. Net status. Battery. Etc. Reading that link, it seems like I can maybe delete some of the more obscure folders. Like maybe delete the 8x8 entirely from the theme. I'm also checking out that naming script... but man do I wis | 21:39 |
| nothlit | your words were cut off as 'man do I wis' | 21:44 |
| nothlit | yeah, i get lazy and delete raster sizes from a duplicated folder and rely on the svg for personal quick edits as well | 21:45 |
| ArthurArchnix | ok... just fyi, phatch rocks my socks. Thanks for the links nothlit. | 21:59 |
| ArthurArchnix | One more question... for now ( :) ), I've rename the theme in the index.theme file, removed all the folders I'm not using (e.g., scale). Once I create a tar.gz and drop it into the theme manager in ubuntu it's not gonna mess up my default human theme is it? My first try at this yesterday required a sudo apt-get remove --purge human-icons && apt-get install human-icons --purge. I can't remember the exact command. But | 22:07 |
| nothlit | no | 22:08 |
| nothlit | dropping it in | 22:09 |
| nothlit | is basically extracting it into ~/.icons/ | 22:09 |
| nothlit | you can do that manually as well | 22:09 |
| ArthurArchnix | Probably safer then, to copy it in manually. | 22:09 |
| ArthurArchnix | ahh... I see what you mean now about optimizing the smaller sizes... you mean physically editing the icons so they make sense at smaller sizes.... yeah. Well, that's the trick isn't it? I mean, I'm an academic not an artist, but I have fun coming up with my own personalized icons scheme. But then, creating the smaller versions is a little (read: way, way) beyond my skillset. I don't mind though. I think the human the | 22:15 |
| ArthurArchnix | phatch created this barely recognizable icons at 12x12. :) But still, what a great program. | 22:16 |
| ArthurArchnix | If I delete icon.cache will it be recreated automagically? | 22:25 |
| === klepas_ is now known as klepas | ||
| nothlit | if in doubt, move instead or make a backup | 22:38 |
| troy_s | nothlit: Apparently ArthurArchnix and the other phatch guys don't know about imagemagick. | 22:49 |
| nothlit | troy_s: it doesn't use a backend? | 22:54 |
| troy_s | nothlit: I can only assume it does... I don't know how you get any simpler than the actual program however. | 22:54 |
| troy_s | nothlit: Mind you, just looking, Ubuntu's imagemagick is hideously out of date. | 22:55 |
| troy_s | nothlit: Sad really. | 22:55 |
| nothlit | imagemagick is difficult for people without cli experience to use, that would be part of the reason graphicsmagick exists to begin with | 22:55 |
| nothlit | but its incredible to have all those algorithms :) | 22:56 |
| nothlit | btw: to anyone listening, sinc and lanczos are the best for downsizing without moire | 22:56 |
| troy_s | nothlit: You can script a stair interpolation relatively quickly too. | 22:57 |
