| ethana2 | ah | 07:12 |
|---|---|---|
| ethana2 | I've made a mess of my themes with gedit again | 07:13 |
| ethana2 | I understand you're here to make artwork for ubuntu | 07:13 |
| ethana2 | would you recommend a different channel for theme related questions? | 07:13 |
| ethana2 | I want to use the glossy theme for everything | 07:16 |
| ethana2 | widgets and window decorations | 07:16 |
| ethana2 | I want my title bars to be 12 pixels thick | 07:17 |
| ethana2 | right now they're like 8 | 07:17 |
| ethana2 | oh no, human and glossy are different /all/ through them | 07:18 |
| ethana2 | and I've screwed them both over royally | 07:18 |
| ethana2 | before I knew I could do half the stuff with gconf-editor | 07:18 |
| ethana2 | so I broke everything and am using the 'simple' window decoration theme /because/ it ignores my settings | 07:20 |
| ethana2 | working around myself.. *rubs forehead* | 07:20 |
| ethana2 | ok, where do I get a non-borked /usr/share/themes/$THEME/metacity-1/metacity-theme-1.xml for Glossy and Human? | 07:21 |
| ethana2 | Is there a command I can use to reconfigure my theme information? | 07:24 |
| DanaG | ethana2: I can put my stock ones on my Cal Poly web space temporarily. | 07:27 |
| DanaG | Or you can purge and reinstall the package. | 07:28 |
| ethana2 | DanaG: what package name? | 07:28 |
| ethana2 | for the glossy and human themes? | 07:28 |
| * ethana2 searches | 07:28 | |
| DanaG | www.csc.calpoly.edu/~dgoyette | 07:29 |
| DanaG | I just put the whole folders Human and Glossy there. | 07:29 |
| ethana2 | thanks, DanaG | 07:30 |
| ethana2 | I'm nearing perfection with my gui! | 07:30 |
| ethana2 | wget puts things in the current folder, right? | 07:31 |
| ethana2 | yeah | 07:31 |
| ethana2 | I hope it handles overwriting well | 07:31 |
| DanaG | You can use a browser and just copy the metacity xml. | 07:32 |
| ethana2 | yeah, I'll do that | 07:33 |
| ethana2 | drat, still messed up | 07:35 |
| ethana2 | whatever have I done? | 07:36 |
| DanaG | Hmm, you may have to kill gnome-settings-daemon to force it to reload the theme. | 07:37 |
| ethana2 | ah | 07:38 |
| ethana2 | ok, I did that, still messed up | 07:39 |
| ethana2 | wow, what a number I did | 07:39 |
| ethana2 | better document the part that did what I wanted | 07:39 |
| ethana2 | alright, well, I'm going to reinstall soon I guess | 07:43 |
| ethana2 | got all my working changes in my email account | 07:43 |
| ethana2 | thanks, rock on, and good day. | 07:44 |

| DShepherd | fedora art is not bad at all | 17:18 |
| DShepherd | what do you think of it? | 17:18 |
| troy_s | DShepherd: Completely ass. | 17:21 |
| troy_s | DShepherd: In the typical IRC response. ;) | 17:21 |
| DShepherd | hehehe | 17:22 |
| troy_s | DShepherd: More appropriately 1) Lacking a clear message, 2) Lacking solid execution, 3) Lacking any sort of emotional evocation / etc. | 17:22 |
| DShepherd | troy_s, interesting.. | 17:23 |
| troy_s | DShepherd: and all of the byproducts... monochromatic tedium, and on and on. Rather like Ubuntu's Feisty. | 17:23 |
| troy_s | (And previous incarnations) | 17:23 |
| DanaG | You can also compare SuSE 10.3's ugly blandness to 10.2, 10.1, 10.0, and even 9.3 and 9.2 | 17:29 |
| DanaG | Each was less "distinctive" than the previous. | 17:29 |
| DanaG | http://www.ffnn.nl/pages/gallery/startup-services76.php -- from 9.3 version; shows how their KDE splash matches their bootsplash. | 17:31 |
| troy_s | DanaG: Amen! | 17:34 |
| troy_s | DanaG: The obvious 'oops' was letting Diana Fong go from Fedora. SUSEs problems are systemic. | 17:36 |
| troy_s | DanaG: I suppose ultimately it is this strange 'old school' FOSS attitude of sticking with this uber-functionality based approach. | 17:36 |
| troy_s | DanaG: The real-world problem with that is that while it might work great for those zealots of the Swiss Style, computers aren't appliances. | 17:36 |
| troy_s | DanaG: They are living spaces where people work, live, communicate, share, be emotional, and so on. | 17:37 |
| DanaG | http://www.tuxmachines.org/gallery/main.php -- useful reference. | 17:37 |
| DanaG | Too bad so few sites get screenshots of bootsplash or GDM themes. | 17:37 |
| troy_s | DanaG: More difficult perhaps as not all of them are run in a virtual machine (regarding bootsplashes) | 17:38 |
| DanaG | Aah. | 17:42 |
| DanaG | I do still kind of wish Ubuntu would use fbsplash, so we could have styled console backgrounds. | 17:43 |
| DanaG | Usplash can actually still run on top of it. | 17:43 |
| troy_s | DanaG: Things will happen eventually. The problem is that Ubuntu is still quite small in terms of dev team (something like 70 (?) versus 2000 Red Hats) | 17:44 |
| _MMA_ | Usplash needs to be scrapped. I've heard it a couple of times at UDS. Either that or overhauled. It's severely limited in resolution and color depth. | 17:46 |
| savvas | now *this* is a map :P http://en.opensuse.org/Image:OS11.0beta3-live-inst3.png | 17:49 |
| DanaG | Oh yeah, it's weird: I had thought that the changing wallpaper thing was causing periodic flickering on my display... then I finally realized it's actually my display itself. | 17:49 |
| troy_s | LOL | 17:49 |
| DanaG | Got day-night cycle? "Ah! My Goddess Ending 2 - Wing" | 17:49 |
| DanaG | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IB70vGTigh0 | 17:49 |
| troy_s | Good christ I am going to be sick. | 17:50 |
| DanaG | Huh? | 17:51 |
| troy_s | That video. I think I just had a seizure. | 17:52 |
| DanaG | Why? | 17:52 |
| DanaG | Granted, it was kind of random. | 17:52 |
| DanaG | er, my linking to it was kind of randm. | 17:53 |
| DanaG | random. | 17:53 |
| _MMA_ | DanaG: By my count its like the 3rd time. Something tells me you're a kid who wants attention. ;) | 17:54 |
| savvas | um.. does anyone have an picture of goat footprints on the ground? | 17:54 |
| DanaG | I do tend to forget what I've mentioned before. | 17:55 |
| troy_s | savvas: Are you needing an authentic image or something to build off of? | 17:56 |
| savvas | troy_s: not necessary to be authentic, but i need an ibex-like footprint, I got an idea for a wallpaper for the future release | 17:58 |
| troy_s | savvas: Uh... let me find an animal anatomy reference from my lib... hold tight. | 18:00 |
| savvas | great! :) | 18:00 |
| troy_s | You want just a print or the hoof? | 18:00 |
| savvas | both if you dont mind :) | 18:01 |
| savvas | I'm having some trouble with the rear end of my "ibex" :p | 18:01 |
| troy_s | savvas: Hrm... 1) I don't know if I can find a print, but it isn't a big deal. | 18:02 |
| troy_s | savvas: 2) Do you want a study on hind quarters for that morph of beast? | 18:02 |
| savvas | http://savvas.radevic.com/previews/ubuntu-ibex/ubuntu-ibex-0.2.png | 18:02 |
| savvas | mm just the hoof then, troy_s | 18:03 |
| DanaG | That reminds me oddly much of the HP "HDX Dragon" wallpaper -- it has a similar white band with logo, and a similar liney background. | 18:04 |
| savvas | yes DanaG :P | 18:05 |
| DanaG | And I know I've linked to it... so I won't repeat that link. | 18:05 |
| troy_s | savvas: Hrm... that's odd... I seem to remember a book with a study on hooves... apparently I am remembering the wrong darn book. | 18:05 |
| savvas | troy_s: anything to get me started :) | 18:05 |
| savvas | I'm thinking of loosing the footprints and placing a huge ibex face instead | 18:06 |
| savvas | but oh well.. i got a lot of time to work it through hehe | 18:07 |
| savvas | troy_s: if you remember the book's name highlight me with it and with the author's name if you can, I have to run, thanks :) | 18:09 |
| DanaG | OOh, second-edition Hardy Heron t-shirt. | 18:10 |
| DanaG | Yay. | 18:10 |
| troy_s | savvas: Just scanning. | 18:11 |
| DanaG | I think that wallpaper would look better without the large text. | 18:12 |
| _MMA_ | And the blur. | 18:13 |
| _MMA_ | And different colors. | 18:14 |
| _MMA_ | And without the Ubuntu/Tux logo. | 18:14 |
| troy_s | _MMA_: LOL | 18:14 |
| DanaG | =รพ | 18:17 |
| DanaG | "thorn" character rocks. | 18:17 |
