psyke83_MMA_, I just sent the latest revision of the theme, although the "rename file" fix isn't done yet02:50
_MMA_psyke83: ok. Ill most likely look over it tomorrow.02:51
psyke83sure thing02:51
_MMA_psyke83: I looked now. :P So besides the metacity/scrollbar fix, that's it?02:58
psyke83I think so; did I fix any other bugs today? :P02:59
psyke83I'm sleepy now, so I forget... heh02:59
psyke83I only changed the spacing in the metacity-1.xml file, nothing else03:00
psyke83and yep, I think I changed just the progressbar and slider background03:00
_MMA_Ok. Tomorrow we should work out the white text when renaming files.03:00
_MMA_But you should sleep. I will be soon. :P03:00
psyke83I will, just waiting for a scan to finish on my hd before I turn off (problem with SMART)03:01
_MMA_Ahh...03:01
psyke83if you catch MacSlow, see if he can help re: the nautilus bug; I tried the gnome, gtk and nautilus channels (here and on irc.gnome.org), and nobody answered03:02
psyke83I downloaded the source code and found two glade files,  but they don't cover the renaming part of the interface03:02
_MMA_Ok. Ill try to get him in here tomorrow to talk directly.03:04
nothlit`coregrrr, someone deleted the template attachments about a week ago12:39
_MMA_psyke83: Found another "white text bug". Edit the prefs on FF3. You'll see it.14:23
_MMA_nothlit`core: Since you seemed to have dropped off over this cycle I plan on taking things as far as wiki management for Ibex. I however did not mess with the templates.14:32
psyke83_MMA_, change the input background colour to #888888 and see what you think14:33
psyke83it introduces other problems, though, e.g. grey users listed in xchat14:33
_MMA_People are gonna hate that.14:34
nothlit`core_MMA_: ahh ok, if you see anything missing, just ping me :)14:35
psyke83_MMA_, well, I'm really afraid that the Firefox problem is hardcoded14:35
_MMA_Sure. We might need to go back to the gray text.14:35
psyke83_MMA_, it's possible to set grey text for everything, but then make exceptions, such as button, combobox, tab and frame colours14:36
psyke83I mean, such as the above being white14:37
psyke83we can use the shade function within those sections14:37
psyke83will I give it a try and see how it works?14:37
_MMA_psyke83: Sure. If you can work on that, that would be great.14:37
nothlit`coreackt, thats ibex lol, i haven't fleshed out the FAQ yes, but the wiki is pretty set up, have i been lacking in my duties?14:38
_MMA_I'm trying to work out a xsane issue right now as well. People can't use their scanner as normal users.14:38
nothlit`corewell the first user gets added the the correct groups, but additional users you have to make sure to do that-- or is it just broken?14:39
_MMA_nothlit`core: Its just broke somehow. sudo xsane works though.14:40
_MMA_bug 20549614:40
ubotuLaunchpad bug 205496 in xsane "[Hardy]Xsane needs root to operate scanner" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/20549614:40
_MMA_nothlit`core: I haven't really seen you active in here on on the ML for some time. I think Ken needs someone a little more active throughout the cycle.14:45
_MMA_nothlit`core: I still think the wiki needs a major overhaul. I can never figure out where things are.14:48
nothlit`coreahh, interesting14:56
nothlit`coreThe bar is not enough?14:58
_MMA_nothlit`core: SO at UDS I'll be talking with Ken to see how it can be better structured. It really just might be something that's too complex.14:58
nothlit`corewell i may be going to uds as well, so we can probably lay things out there14:58
_MMA_nothlit`core: Personally, the bar makes no sense. I dont know how it relates to where Im at or things are half the time.14:59
_MMA_Sure. That would be cool.14:59
psyke83_MMA_, I'm getting close to fixing the Firefox prob15:28
psyke83it's a pain in the a$$, I have to edit the theme and put wildcard matches for widgets ;)15:29
psyke83I know the widget is Gtk*View, heh15:30
psyke83any sign of macslow?15:31
_MMA_psyke83: Oh sorry. Ill see if he can come in.15:37
_MMA_psyke83: Looks like he's swamped working on Compiz. Next week might be more free.15:40
psyke83no prob... I found the name of the widget for Firefox, working on the fix now15:41
_MMA_k15:42
_MMA_Maybe that will fix gnome-control-center as well. :)15:42
psyke83_MMA_, I'm a bit stuck. I know the widget that draws the affected background of the firefox Preferences, but not the part that renders text16:32
_MMA_Weird.16:33
psyke83_MMA_, I've found where to fix, but it will cause all the text in firefox to change to the text colour we define... do you want it grey?17:21
_MMA_psyke83: Hmm... I imaging that will be problematic. Can you test different scenarios and get back to me?17:23
psyke83I've been encouraged to file a bug against Firefox, so it will get fixed there (eventually)17:23
psyke83it's using GtkInvisible, which is nonstandard17:23
_MMA_Yeah. Bastards. :P17:23
psyke83this one may take a firefox patch, from us or upstream17:24
psyke83what's the problem with gnome-control-center ?17:24
_MMA_Basically the same deal.17:24
_MMA_WHite text on white background.17:25
psyke83hmm on gutsy?17:25
_MMA_Yep17:25
psyke83because I see no problem here17:25
_MMA_?17:25
psyke83I'm running Hardy17:25
_MMA_With you new mods correct?17:25
psyke83yep, although it's temporarily screwed while I'm debugging the issue17:26
_MMA_Well wait. Click on a cestion or a icon.17:26
_MMA_*section17:26
psyke83hold on while I restore the theme to working order17:26
_MMA_Or switch the theme to see.17:26
_MMA_np17:26
psyke83_MMA_, no, there's no problem on my system17:28
psyke83it's obeying the proper theme colours17:29
psyke83do you have a hardy install available?17:29
_MMA_Yeah. Im looking at it. Might be because of some new mod you did.17:29
_MMA_I get a screen with lots of icons but invisible text.17:30
psyke83I don't think that I fixed any bugs there17:30
_MMA_Until you highlight a section that it.17:30
_MMA_gnome-contol-center right?17:31
_MMA_gnome-control-center17:31
_MMA_Take a screenshot if you can.17:31
psyke83ah, right :(17:32
psyke83sorry, I missed that17:32
psyke83hmm17:32
psyke83_MMA_, unless I can get the gnome-control-center issue fixed, I think it's better we go back to grey text ;)17:40
psyke83as for the firefox issue, whatever we change the colour to, almost the entire interface will change as well17:40
psyke83it's definitely a bug17:41
_MMA_psyke83: Well If we can keep the "revert to gray text" thing on the back burner and find a solution that would rock. In the end I'm not against reverting.17:49
_MMA_We have all week until I have to push these changes so we have a little bit of time.17:50
psyke83_MMA_, bear with me: change the input box background to #BFBFBF and give it ten minutes of use, then tell me what you think18:36
psyke83keep normal text to white18:36
psyke83the only problem is green text in terminals... gah, this is difficult ;)18:38
_MMA_psyke83: Ill test what you send me. I just cant tinker now. I'm on the phone with the insurance co about my car.18:40
psyke83ah I won't disturb, don't worry. I'll try to sort out gnome-control-center, we just need to fix that and firefox18:41
_MMA_No disturbance. I'm sorry I can't give it my full attention ATM.18:41
psyke83aptoncd uses hardcoded foreground colours, I will make a bug report with patch to launchpad18:48
_MMA_k18:49
psyke83firefox3 workaround: http://connogriofa.googlepages.com/gtkrc19:02
_MMA_psyke83: And what does it affect if we try to set it to black?19:04
psyke83in firefox: the bookmarks toolbar, find bar, status bar, all preferences text, inactive menu items19:05
psyke83as for other apps, it doesn't affect anything19:05
psyke83basically most of the firefox interface is using gtkinvisible to draw text, which is just wrong19:06
_MMA_Ahh..... I see. Well, this is fine to me for know. Let's work with this for know. See how it feels.19:06
psyke83yep19:07
_MMA_s/know/now19:07
psyke83_MMA_, gnome-control-center is fixed, but the previous issue with gconf-editor's "Name" is back19:47
psyke83the problem was with the hack I wanted MacSlow to check19:47
_MMA_psyke83: Ok. Put it in, but comment it out with some notes so we can talk with him later about it.19:48
psyke83it changes a lot of other things, let me work on it some more19:49
_MMA_np19:50
psyke83_MMA_, it's fixed; a terrible hack, but fixed21:10
_MMA_Cool.21:12
psyke83_MMA_, http://connogriofa.googlepages.com/gtkrc21:14
_MMA_psyke83: Can you send the meta city again? I think I messed something up here.21:15
_MMA_*metacity21:15
Cimiehich bug?21:15
Cimi*which21:15
psyke83http://connogriofa.googlepages.com/metacity-theme-1.xml21:16
_MMA_Cimi: Something about how FF3 used GTK.21:16
Cimiwhich kind of bug you get?21:16
_MMA_psyke83: Thanx. Ill test now.21:16
psyke83cimi: we're working around some bugs in applications that display white text on white background with our UbuntuStudio-Mod theme21:17
psyke83oops, he's gone21:18
psyke83ah wb21:18
psyke83cimi: we're working around some bugs in applications that display white text on white background with our UbuntuStudio-Mod theme21:18
_MMA_Cimi: Looks like they are using gtkinvisible to draw text.21:18
Cimione shit application is rhythmbox21:19
Cimiit has hardcoded colors for the sidebar21:19
_MMA_Thats mostly what we're running into. Apps that hardcode colors rather than using the gtkrc.21:20
* Cimi hates them21:20
Cimigimp for example21:20
Cimiis hardcoding focus for the buttons21:21
_MMA_AptOnCD is another.21:21
psyke83Cimi, can you help me out a little? I need to define exceptions for certain widgets, but I don't know the name21:22
Cimipsyke83, experience engine can help you21:22
Cimifrom what I know21:22
psyke83for example, I want to define an exception for the fg[NORMAL] of "Name, Size, Type" in Nautilus and other applications21:23
Cimibenzea implemented a function to print the widget namings21:23
_MMA_psyke83: Cool. Though this isn't the optimal solution we can now at least see the text in FF3 and gnome-control-center.21:23
Cimibut the best solution is to open bugreports21:23
psyke83_MMA_, I've broken the "expander arrows" again, but I will fix soon21:23
_MMA_psyke83: Ahh.. I see. Ok. Keep up the killer work. Thanx so far. :)21:24
* _MMA_ goes back to looking at new cars.21:24
psyke83_MMA_, http://connogriofa.googlepages.com/gtkrc21:28
psyke83that fixes the expander arrows21:28
psyke83I think I'll call it quits tonight, lest I go completely insane :)21:31
psyke83but this needs a lot of testing and refinement (I used wildcard matches to isolate the special case classes; we need to identify them properly)21:31
psyke83Cimi, would you by any chance be able to guess what this is? widget_class "*x*ent*.*men*Label*"21:33
Cimi?21:33
Cimithe only thing I'm sure21:33
psyke83I'm trying to identify the class for drawing the items in the main window of gnome-control-center, to create a special case21:33
Cimiis that it is really ugly21:34
psyke83yes it's awful, and I want to fix it, but I can only do it through trial and error21:34
_MMA_Well that was helpfull.21:34
Cimimaybe the best way to do is opening control center source code and read something? :) don't you think?21:34
psyke83Cimi, yes, but I'm not an expert at reading source for gtk stuff, and there's no glade files to help21:35
Cimiyou should learn21:35
psyke83... ok, thanks21:36
_MMA_Cimi: Really, it was a simple question. People also learn this way.21:36
_MMA_No need to RTFM.21:37
Cimi_MMA_, to help him, I need to RTFM21:37
CimiI don't know the source code of every application21:37
psyke83Cimi, if that's necessary, then it's ok. I thought you could guess visually, since you're aware of the common gtk widgets21:37
_MMA_Cimi: Well not in here. That's not how we do things. We have poked through code. Do not RTFM in here.21:38
_MMA_Cimi: I do realize that some of it is a language barrier but one could make the argument that "you should learn" English better just as easy as someone should learn how to better read code.21:41
Cimiunfortunately21:42
psyke83no it's alright, guys. I just wondered if Cimi could spot the possible class name from looking at the interface, not the code, but it's fine21:42
CimiI haven't got an english teacher at school, at least he was not doing her job of teaching students the language21:42
Cimieverything I know I've learnt from myself21:43
psyke83I'm checking all the apps installed by default, and I'm not seeing any problems yet, but I hope to clean up the theme properly21:43
Cimipsyke83, I have to look at the code21:43
psyke83Cimi, yep, and I don't want you to go to a lot of trouble, so it's fine21:43
Cimior printing the widget class trough the engine21:43
psyke83now that sounds more interesting ;)21:43
Cimipsyke83, I've already said it21:44
Cimi<Cimi> psyke83, experience engine can help you21:44
Cimi<Cimi> from what I know21:44
psyke83experience engine, I'll take a look21:44
_MMA_psyke83: Gah. Now we have a issue with Deluge torrent. Looks like the expander arrow fix is #525252. Or something like that?21:50
psyke83_MMA_, I'm not finding any expander arrows, do you have a lot of torrents in your list or something?21:51
_MMA_No. The issue is the text in the "status" column.21:52
_MMA_The bg is the same color as the text that says "Downloading".21:52
_MMA_Wait.. Hahaha.21:52
_MMA_1 sec.21:52
psyke83I see21:53
psyke83was it like that before?21:53
_MMA_psyke83: Ill get a shot.21:53
_MMA_I dont think so.21:53
psyke83I see it21:53
psyke83I have bad news... the original UbuntuStudio theme is the same21:54
psyke83hmm no, can u take a screenshot please?21:54
_MMA_Im looking at it now. Its not. The color before and after the progressbar is different.21:55
_MMA_Ill take 2.21:55
_MMA_http://mma.users.ubuntustudio.org/OG.png21:58
_MMA_http://mma.users.ubuntustudio.org/MOD.png21:58
_MMA_psyke83: ^^^21:59
psyke83ok, let me check this out, although it should be an easy fix21:59
psyke83*should be* ;)21:59
_MMA_:P22:00
Cimipsyke83, EXPERIENCE_PRINT_WIDGET_PATH=true22:02
psyke83Cimi, thanks; I compiled and installed the engine and an experience theme, but it's not working. I'll try it tomorrow22:02
