[00:02] hbons: No idea. Well beyond my guesswork. [00:03] hbons: I believe that the Fela Kuti wallpaper has a _lot_ going for it. [00:03] yeah, it's very cool [00:03] hbons: 1) It steps us in the right direction away from the absolutely amateur monochromatic rubbish we have been seeing. [00:03] much better indeed [00:03] hbons: 2) It is a deft application of artistry (Ash did a good job) [00:04] is there a deadline for art packaging? [00:04] 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. [00:05] 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] 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] i think it goed well with the Fela Kuti wallpaper;) [01:11] hbons: Have you been working on anything? [01:11] troy_s: only icons [01:11] hbons: Is discovery yours? [01:11] yeah [01:11] hbons: Oh how interesting. [01:12] hbons: Have you created any icons outside of the Tango style? [01:12] not very much [01:13] but i think i could:) [01:13] hbons: Do you have a link with more of your bits online? [01:15] 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 [13:34] hey guys [13:35] anyone here? [14:00] please use my name when texting back [14:01] thanks [15:45] mohbana: What's up? [15:46] troy_s, what hex does ubuntu does for that orange? [15:46] mohbana: That should all be on the wiki [15:46] do you have the ling? [15:46] king [15:46] link lol [15:46] mohbana: Bear in mind that the colour is a logo colour. [21:24] 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? [21:25] Oh, and by making, I mean taking all my fav's and putting them into one. :P [21:25] grr, the wiki is full of clutter [21:26] there is a set of icon naming utils from tango [21:26] you need to optimise the smaller sizes by hand depending on the ratio [21:28] Oh yeah...? I was thinking of just using convert or this alpha program here called phatch, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=466598 [21:34] ArthurArchnix: http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Theme_Guidelines#Sizes [21:39] 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 [21:44] your words were cut off as 'man do I wis' [21:45] yeah, i get lazy and delete raster sizes from a duplicated folder and rely on the svg for personal quick edits as well [21:59] ok... just fyi, phatch rocks my socks. Thanks for the links nothlit. [22:07] 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 [22:08] no [22:09] dropping it in [22:09] is basically extracting it into ~/.icons/ [22:09] you can do that manually as well [22:09] Probably safer then, to copy it in manually. [22:15] 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 [22:16] phatch created this barely recognizable icons at 12x12. :) But still, what a great program. [22:25] If I delete icon.cache will it be recreated automagically? === klepas_ is now known as klepas [22:38] if in doubt, move instead or make a backup [22:49] nothlit: Apparently ArthurArchnix and the other phatch guys don't know about imagemagick. [22:54] troy_s: it doesn't use a backend? [22:54] nothlit: I can only assume it does... I don't know how you get any simpler than the actual program however. [22:55] nothlit: Mind you, just looking, Ubuntu's imagemagick is hideously out of date. [22:55] nothlit: Sad really. [22:55] imagemagick is difficult for people without cli experience to use, that would be part of the reason graphicsmagick exists to begin with [22:56] but its incredible to have all those algorithms :) [22:56] btw: to anyone listening, sinc and lanczos are the best for downsizing without moire [22:57] nothlit: You can script a stair interpolation relatively quickly too.
