xivulonHi again,15:39
xivulonI was looking into how to make icons off svg15:39
xivulonI noticed that the ubuntu.ico file available on the wiki has 9 layers with different size and color depth15:40
xivulonis there any tool that grabs an svg and generate a proper icon file?15:41
_MMA_You can import the .svg into GIMP and save as .ico. Imagemagik I think can also do it.15:42
xivulon_MMA_ kwwii also pointed to that, but that does not seem to create 9 layers unless I am doing something wrong15:43
* _MMA_ finds most of his errors are user-errors. :P15:43
kwwiiyou cannot create an ico file with 9 layers...also, there is not point to doing so16:06
_MMA_kwwii: I don't know about layers but they can contain various sizes and color depths.16:11
xivulonmy understanding is that windows selects the layer which best matches the system color depth and the required image size16:19
xivulonkwwii what image size / color depth should I use instead? 32x32 24bits?16:20
kwwiixivulon: ouch, didn't know that16:31
kwwiisorry, I appear not to be up to date on my windows icons stuff these days :p16:31
kwwiiok, here is a tweaked wallpaper (simplified the bg a bit and changed the throat)16:33

* _MMA_ likes the original. Didnt see the need to mess with. Still looks good. :)16:35
kwwii_MMA_: you like the one on a simple background?16:35
_MMA_I like 'em both but the one with more detail is my fave.16:37
Dutchyi just found https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Hardy/Alternate/ThemeTeams and it says there are people needed for theming... now I am 'graphically challenged' so I can't do any theming myself, but is there anything else I can do? give feedback or something?21:36
_MMA_Dutchy: Not to be a downer, but I would say no.21:37
Dutchyalright :) I had to ask21:38
Cimi_kwwii, just for sake of perfection... the scrollbars in alpha 6 have wrong thickness22:14
kwwiiCimi_: you mean the trough value I added is too much?22:53
_MMA_Cimi_: You do know kwwii in in Germany right? Why do you message him so late? :)22:55
Cimi__MMA_, I'm in italy23:31
Cimi_kwwii, you should decrease it23:31
Cimi_don't you see it is too thin?23:31
Cimi_you can see the trough border on the left/right edges off the slider23:32
Cimi_it is ugly :)23:32
_MMA_Cimi_: Sure, but you're alot closer in time. Its well after midnight for Ken and he's old. Needs all the beauty sleep he can get. ;)23:35
cody-somerville_MMA_, How did the passport application go?23:36
_MMA_Application went fine. Im waiting on it to be sent.23:37
