kwwiipsyke83: yeah, please do00:06
psyke83kwwii, I don't have your email, so here it is: http://connogriofa.googlepages.com/Human-Mod_v0.2.tar.gz00:07
psyke83it's using the exact same highlight colour, it seems to be 100% identical00:07
kwwiiI get a 404 error on that link00:08
psyke83I just verified, it's working here...00:09
kwwiiyeah, now it works, funky00:10
kwwiiI'll test it out tomorrow, gotta sleep now00:11
psyke83ok, see ya later00:11
connhi kwwii, I sent a mail with another slight update for the themes, you may want to pass UbuntuStudio-Mod onto _MMA_ too15:49
_MMA_?15:49
conn_MMA_, I sent an update last night that fixes a lot of Color Picker inconsistencies, and today I made the menubar item appear as a button (only rounded on top), so you may want to check it out15:50
_MMA_conn: Ahh... You have multiple nics.15:50
connah crap, sorry15:50
connit doesn't save my nick in xchat15:50
=== conn is now known as psyke83
psyke83my real name is Conn, heh15:50
_MMA_I actually already did that. We need to fix how the radio and checkboxes appear gray.15:51
psyke83_MMA_, I believe that I fixed that bug too, when sorting the Color Picker mess15:52
_MMA_psyke83: Here's where I'm at now: http://mma.users.ubuntustudio.org/Misc/UbuntuStudio-Mod.tar.gz15:52
_MMA_Edit that, and send it on back. :) Please.15:52
psyke83_MMA_, is that based off v0.1 or the version I sent last night to Ken? Because I made a lot of changes15:52
_MMA_Based off the one you sent. I made alot of changes as well.15:53
_MMA_Most notably fixing how the panel image was tiling on some dialog boxes.15:54
_MMA_psyke83: I also tightened up the menu and added a setting to make the icons *slightly* smaller.15:56
psyke83_MMA_, your modification appears to be based off v0.1, where a lot of colours were defined incorrectly15:57
_MMA__MMA_: There really are a bit of size issues with things. A/B'ing the one I 1st sent you with the new one will show you. I'd like to fix as much as possible.15:57
psyke83I spent last night completely testing the Color Picker and fixed all those bugs15:57
_MMA_Cool. Do what you have to. :)15:58
psyke83_MMA_, unfortunately I'll be busy for a few hours, but I will take a look later. If you're impatient, check my v0.3 that fixed many bugs, including the checkmark colour. There was a problem with GtkCombo menu and radiobuttons too, it's all fixed15:58
psyke83_MMA_, http://connogriofa.googlepages.com/UbuntuStudio-Mod_v0.3.tar.gz15:59
psyke83but I will take a look at your modifications later, so it's up to you if you want to wait for me to incorporate your changes15:59
_MMA_psyke83: I can wait. I have quite a bit going on as well. (dealing with a newly wrecked car)15:59
psyke83just bear in mind that many bugs were fixed, so some changes will be unnecessary15:59
psyke83_MMA_, alright then :)16:00
_MMA_psyke83: I'd rather you apply the fix since you know what you're doing there. Then play with whatever else you can yo refine it. I'll take it after that.16:01
_MMA_Remember to also add your name/addy to the gtkrc as credit.16:01
psyke83_MMA_, sure thing, I'll take a look tonight at your mod, and apply any changes I notice16:01
psyke83ok16:01
psyke83gotta run, will talk later16:02
psyke83kwwii, I also recommend you use the latest version of Human-Murrine-Mod, I sent a mail to you again16:02
psyke83(well, 10 mins ago)16:02
psyke83bye16:02
psyke83_MMA_, working on the theme now20:27
_MMA_psyke83: cool20:33
psyke83_MMA_, is the Fast User Switch included by default in UbuntuStudio?20:36
psyke83I'm sure you've noticed it's got a problem with gnome-panel's panelbg20:37
_MMA_I cant remember TBH.20:37
_MMA_It *might* be fixed with my new update.20:37
psyke83it would be a good idea to check if any bugs are files, because it's quite ugly20:37
psyke83*filed20:37
psyke83right, hopefully20:37
_MMA_Well if you can test it there that would be cool. If not, oh well.20:38
_MMA_If I had your help a month ago, I would have cared more. I'm just kinda burnt ATM.20:38
psyke83_MMA_, not to worry, I'll file a bug (if it doesn't exist)20:40
psyke83if you're not too knackered, I was hoping to ask you a few little questions about the UbuntuStudio mod; for example, the nautilus-extra-view-widget is using a lighter blue colour, should we not use the same "solid" blue color?20:41
_MMA_psyke83: Please don't file a bug. I'd rather you just hit me up with a fix. ;)20:42
psyke83_MMA_, haha, I'm not a coder, but I'll take a look a little later. It's a problem with the program, not the theme (because all other applets have transparent background)20:43
_MMA_The nautilus-extra-view-widget setting might just be there. If you can change it, get rid of it, whatever. I'm cool.20:43
_MMA_psyke83: Ahh... Then file a bug there. Just not against the theme. :P20:45
_MMA_psyke83: If there were a way to actually get our text white, without breaking other things, I'd love that.20:51
psyke83_MMA_, what text, exactly?20:51
psyke83the modification you had was a little incorrect, but my current version is a 100% representation of the colours in your original theme... although I think the text was a light grey20:53
_MMA_Yeah.20:53
_MMA_Thats what I mean.20:53
_MMA_The text isnt actually white. But I think if it is, it breaks things somewhere.20:54
_MMA_I can't remember atm.20:54
psyke83I just changed it to white and see no regressions anywhere; everything is consistent20:55
psyke83white is actually better, because it offers better contrast for the nautilus-extra-view-widget (Trash)20:56
_MMA_Try gnome-control-center20:56
psyke83I don't see any inconsistencies20:56
psyke83_MMA_, the text values were messed up in your version, I'm almost finished my new version that fixes all that20:57
psyke83it was already finished, I'm just changing the hilight ratio and some spacing to be consistent with the changes you made20:57
_MMA_Sure.20:58
_MMA_I'll take what you do and run it through a bunch of tests.20:58
psyke83so do you want me to hardcode #000 as the text colour?20:58
_MMA_Well, what will that break?20:58
psyke83nope, but you can test it, as you said20:58
psyke83gimme another minute20:59
_MMA_Sure. Thanx for the work man. Wished you popped up a month or 2 ago. ;)20:59
psyke83ah, do you really want black on dark gray for tooltips, or is that a mistake?20:59
psyke83_MMA_, I was in Brazil for the last six months, teaching English ;)20:59
psyke83I'm a bit less busy now that I'm home ;)20:59
_MMA_Fun.21:00
_MMA_No. I hate the tooltips. Thing is, the background effects the color there, as well as the color when you *cant* save something in gedit.21:00
_MMA_ie: When you open something as a user that is owned by roo and it errors when you try to save.21:01
_MMA_*root21:01
psyke83let me check that21:01
_MMA_The text color used is different for both places.21:01
_MMA_A real pain.21:02
psyke83_MMA_, if we can expose the name of the widget, we can create a workaround in the theme file21:02
psyke83we can make an exception just like the nautilus widget21:02
_MMA_Sure.21:04
psyke83do you know a fast way to find that, or do I need to get the source?21:06
_MMA_I have *no* clue how to do that.21:09
_MMA_Ive searched before, and am now, but without much luck.21:11
psyke83I found the file in the source and it's referencing some GtkWidget stuff21:13
_MMA_Cool.21:13
_MMA_There was a app in windows that would do this for windows. I wish we had one for GTK.21:13
_MMA_psyke83: I'll ask a guy that might know (MacSlow) on Monday.21:16
_MMA_See if he knows a easy to figure this stuff out.21:16
psyke83ok21:16
psyke83_MMA_, finished... let me give a quick test with the Color Picker and then I'll send it to you21:32
_MMA_killer21:37
psyke83_MMA_, http://connogriofa.googlepages.com/UbuntuStudio-Mod_v0.4.tar.gz21:48
psyke83the nautilus widget and evolution entries look fine (usual problems for themes)21:49
psyke83the gedit box still needs fixing, so I set the tooltips to white text on black21:49
psyke83ah: your theme is different to others in that your checkmarks and radiobuttons do not prelight to a different colour - I left this behaviour in case that's the way you prefer it21:50
_MMA_What else did you change?21:50
_MMA_You are missing bits.21:51
_MMA_Aww man... You didnt just edit mine.21:52
_MMA_Ok. Fixed. Testing now.21:57
_MMA_psyke83: And you didn't keep my highlight ratios.21:58
psyke83_MMA_, I thought I fixed the hilight ratios, sorry21:59
_MMA_np21:59
_MMA_psyke83: It was just 1. I got it.22:02
psyke83can you send back your modification so I can see what else I missed?22:02
_MMA_Yeah. I see another you missed. Lemmie get that 1st.22:03
psyke83sure, take your time22:03
_MMA_Why did you add all these "ubuntustudio" lines in here?22:04
_MMA_Kinda a pain for people who want to derive from this.22:05
psyke83_MMA_, I based a lot of the theme off clearlooks, and it was defined with "clearlooks-*"22:06
psyke83sorry, but you can change it back to "theme" if you like, but "murrine" may be better22:07
psyke83a quick find/replace will change it all, just change the first comment back to UbuntuStudio22:07
_MMA_psyke83: Murrine might be best. You also lost the fix I had for removing the tiled panel images on some dialogs.22:07
psyke83I didn't see that fix, I thought that I got everything22:08
_MMA_Ill brb.22:08
troy_spsyke83: Any screenshots?22:11
troy_spsyke83: I'd love to check out your work.22:11
psyke83troy_s, well, _MMA_ is going to make some more modifications, but it will look the same, I guess.. one sec22:12
troy_spsyke83: Haven't seen it.  Drop something up on imagebin.ca if you have a second.22:12
psyke83http://connogriofa.googlepages.com/UbuntuStudio-Mod_v0.4.png22:13
troy_spsyke83: What element did you change?22:13
psyke83that's it, troy_s... the main differences are the ghosted buttons and that it's Color Picker compatible22:13
psyke83otherwise it's almost the same as the original22:13
troy_spsyke83: Are you working on evolving any engines at the moment?22:14
psyke83troy_s, I'm not sure what you mean... I'm not involved in coding the actual engines, just working on the theme files22:15
troy_spsyke83: Ah, I was mistaken.22:15
psyke83troy_s, I also created Human-Murrine-Mod and Human-Mod (Human, but Color Picker compatible)22:15
troy_spsyke83: I thought you were twiddling on the internals.22:15
psyke83nope22:15
psyke83_MMA_, I didn't see any differences in dealing with the panels, I'd be interested to see your mod when it's finished22:16
_MMA_psyke83: I found it. You didnt use my files as a base. Therefore you missed the changes to the panel.rc and metacity.xml.22:16
psyke83_MMA_, ah man, I didn't realize22:17
_MMA_Just drop those 2 files in and re-apply the theme. You'll see.22:17
psyke83copying everything but gtkrc should solve that, because the gtkrc includes everything (I just forgot some hilights)22:17
psyke83will do22:17
psyke83_MMA_, so you're now using the glossy window border in blue, what else?22:21
psyke83it seems the blue is different to the scrollbar22:21
_MMA_No. Should still be black.22:21
_MMA_1 sec.22:21
psyke83_MMA_, no it's ok22:21
psyke83I had to pkill metacity to force an update (happens with all themes sometimes)22:22
psyke83it's black22:22
psyke83hmm no, it's blue again22:22
_MMA_psyke83: Please back up your current one. Apply a different theme and use this: http://mma.users.ubuntustudio.org/Misc/UbuntuStudio-Mod.tar.gz22:24
_MMA_psyke83: Ahh.. Damn.22:29
psyke83what?22:29
psyke83_MMA_, the gtk-icon-sizes was moved to the top, it's double-listed22:29
_MMA_psyke83: Thats why I didnt set the text color to white. Open up gconf an look at the color of the arrows.22:30
_MMA_White on a white background. :(22:30
_MMA_Ill remove the icon line here.22:30
psyke83the prelight, you mean?22:30
_MMA_I believe thats what you call it.22:31
psyke83_MMA_, there's an inconsistency in your theme that I kept in...22:31
psyke83usually prelighted text is inverse, e.g. radiobuttons and checkmarks turn from white to black, but yours doesn't22:31
psyke83if you prelight to black, it will fix that problem22:32
psyke83my Human-Murrine-Mod theme already did that, but there was not such a great need with the colourscheme22:32
_MMA_Ok. Just tell me what line to change.22:32
psyke83one sec, let me check22:32
_MMA_np. Take your time. Im running around anyway.22:34
_MMA_psyke83: I'd like to set 'em to black.22:40
_MMA_Then I'll test to see what it effects.22:40
_MMA_psyke83: Also, the white text effects the calender applet. :(22:43
psyke83_MMA_, I'm gonna try to find a solution, give me a while, though22:43
psyke83worst case scenario, we go back to grey text22:44
_MMA_np. just noting it.22:44
_MMA_Sure.22:44
psyke83_MMA_, the problem is fg[NORMAL], we need to find out where to define an exception for the "expander" icons... do you know the proper name>22:51
psyke83?22:51
_MMA_No... I have no clue what they're called.22:52
_MMA_Lemmie dig.22:52
_MMA_psyke83: I also gotta make the unfocused titlebar text another color other than white. I'd like it to go grey.22:53
psyke83not a problem22:54
psyke83it's the metacity section, probably text[INSENSITIVE], but I'll check22:54
_MMA_Maybe Glade can tell me the widget name for the arrows.22:54
psyke83hmm, is it GtkArrow?22:56
_MMA_Maybe, but Im unsure. The description sounds off.22:57
_MMA_psyke83: Maybe gtk.Expander or treeview?22:59
psyke83_MMA_, fixed, it was treeview23:00
_MMA_k23:00
_MMA_killer23:01
psyke83let me fix this up and send back to you23:01
_MMA_If you just worked on the gtkrc, just send that.23:01
psyke83ok23:03
psyke83_MMA_, I'll rename back to murrine-*, ok?23:07
_MMA_I think that would be best.23:08
psyke83_MMA_, what's wrong with the world time applet?23:08
_MMA_The nimbers for the month are white.23:09
_MMA_*numbers23:09
psyke83you want it inversed? it seems ok, though23:09
_MMA_I think that's gonna be a hard one.23:10
_MMA_?23:10
_MMA_Ill show a screen shot.23:10
_MMA_1 sec.23:10
psyke83before we fix that, what colour should we prelight the treeview icons? Currently it prelights to white, almost invisible23:10
psyke83...although it's consistent with the checkmarks and radiobuttons, they stay white23:11
_MMA_Use your judgment.23:11
_MMA_psyke83: http://mma.users.ubuntustudio.org/Misc/Screenshot.png23:12
psyke83_MMA_, ah! there's a bug on your system, it's fine for me23:13
_MMA_you on hardy?23:13
psyke83yep23:13
_MMA_1 sec23:13
_MMA_Ok. Sorry. That's a gutsy/hardy difference. Looks fine on the Hardy box.23:14
psyke83it would be better to... ignore Gutsy ;)23:14
_MMA_Well that's what I'm talking to you on. The other issues still show on Hardy.23:15
psyke83_MMA_, do you want to prelight radiobuttons and checkmarks to black, by the way?23:15
_MMA_But yeah. I dont care how it looks on Gutsy.23:15
_MMA_psyke83: I'd rather not, if we can get around it.23:16
psyke83no problemo23:16
psyke83so I'll continue to prelight the treeview to white to be consistent; I'll send the gtkrc now23:16
_MMA_Prelighting them to black right? Instead of white?23:16
_MMA_Ok.23:16
psyke83_MMA_, prelight means the mouseover effect23:16
psyke83i.e. they are white, then turn black when moused over23:17
_MMA_Ahh.... Gotcha.23:17
psyke83it's up to you, it's good to show activity in my opinion, but there's already a background highlight effect23:17
_MMA_I think the highlight on the button and box are enough.23:17
psyke83ok23:17
_MMA_:)23:18
psyke83http://connogriofa.googlepages.com/gtkrc23:20
_MMA_psyke83: Do you know a way to make the scroolbars one color and the prelight/clicked-on another?23:20
psyke83_MMA_, I don't think it's possible23:21
psyke83well.. hmm, let me check23:21
_MMA_Some think the blue is a bit much. Would be nice to do it for the prelight/clicked states.23:22
psyke83so you'd like, e.g. a black scrollbar that turns blue?23:23
psyke83(when clicked/highlighted)23:23
_MMA_Sure. Probably a grey or something but yeah.23:25
psyke83_MMA_, it's not possible, anyway... and I have another suggestion: get rid of the #222222 definition, it will ruin the effect when using custom colours23:25
psyke83just a min and I'll get a good shade definition for you23:25
_MMA_I like how it darkens the background of the scrollbar.23:25
psyke83_MMA_, that's fine, but we can get the same effect by using e.g. shade (0.5, @bg_color), which will then adapt to colour changes23:26
psyke83forget the value there, I need to test for the proper one23:26
_MMA_Cool. Try it.23:26
_MMA_The highlight color of the treeview arrows is white? They disappear on hover-over. Maybe use a gray or blue?23:28
_MMA_psyke83: Oh wow. Another bug in gconf. To the right of the treeview, there's a column that says "Name". It's all gray 'till you hover-over.23:30
psyke83_MMA_, gimme a min, I'm a little busy23:31
_MMA_np. Like I said. Just noting. I don't expect you to jump. ;)23:31
=== nothlit`1ore is now known as nothlit`core
psyke83_MMA_, the treeview is much nicer now; a grey outline that prelights to solid black (including the inside)23:45
psyke83I'm checking the problem with gconf, do you know the name of that area?23:46
_MMA_Lemmie look again.23:47
psyke83frame title, perhaps23:47
_MMA_psyke83: 2 other things to look at, AptOnCD and gnome-control-center.23:47
* _MMA_ fired up Glade.23:48
psyke83_MMA_, I think we're dealing with bugs in these applications, perhaps the dev thinking it's "more beautiful" to use a different coloured text than outlined in a HIG23:50
_MMA_Oh, you're preaching to the choir there. Try tellin' that to people submitting bugs to our theme.23:51
_MMA_:P23:51
psyke83_MMA_, the grey colour is hard-coded, it seems23:52
psyke83in the case of aptoncd23:52
_MMA_Yeah. I've seen that on other themes as well.23:52
_MMA_I should file a bug there.23:52
_MMA_psyke83: I really appreciate hacking on this but I don't wanna kill your Saturday. We can do more tomorrow or later in the week.23:54
psyke83_MMA_, I'm not doing anything tonight... I've a pretty uneventful life right now... my girlfriend is back in Brazil ;)23:54
psyke83but if you're bored, I'm gonna continue work on it anyway23:55
_MMA_Ahhh... Too bad. Where you at?23:55
_MMA_I'm in the states. Raleigh, NC.23:55
psyke83I'm in Dublin, Ireland right now23:56
_MMA_Killer. Im coming there May.23:56
psyke83nice :)23:57
psyke83good it's not now, because the weather is very cold23:57
psyke83I came from Sao Paulo with an average temp. of 25 degrees C, to Dublin, which is currently averaging at 1C most days23:57
_MMA_haha. I miss the cold. I moved to the southern states and you really cant call it "winter".23:57
_MMA_And I'm not bored. Just didn't want to pressure you. I'm just sitting here watching a movie with the kids atm. :P23:59
psyke83;)23:59
