| pwnguin | does ati actually work with 3d yet? | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| pwnguin | tretle: I'm not sure gilouche is right for Ubuntu. my suspicion is that it's less usable | 00:04 |
| pwnguin | It looks neat in a screenshot, certainy | 00:05 |
| pwnguin | certainly | 00:05 |
| DanaG | My current theme: http://picpaste.com/pics/screenshot-orange-nodoka.1213694702.png | 00:05 |
| tretle | just using the widow border, hows it less usable? | 00:05 |
| pwnguin | tretle: how do i know where the button boundaries stop for minimize, maximize and close? | 00:05 |
| pwnguin | DanaG: fail | 00:05 |
| DanaG | why? | 00:06 |
| tretle | 404 - no pic here? | 00:06 |
| DanaG | aah | 00:06 |
| tretle | why do you need to know that? | 00:06 |
| DanaG | Aah, expired. | 00:06 |
| DanaG | er, pic expired from the site. | 00:07 |
| pwnguin | tretle: because thats how I know how to use it? | 00:07 |
| tretle | the tooltip will say minimize, close, maximize | 00:07 |
| DanaG | http://picpaste.com/screenshot-orange-nodoka.png | 00:07 |
| pwnguin | sorry, that wasnt helpful of me | 00:07 |
| pwnguin | tretle: because thats how I know where to click | 00:07 |
| pwnguin | additionally, the button design helps point out that they're clickable | 00:08 |
| tretle | so the tooltips x, box and undersore icons dont give you proper instruction? | 00:08 |
| tretle | *underscore | 00:08 |
| tretle | I think you are dumbing down users too much, lol | 00:09 |
| pwnguin | they might not; it's really important that such claims be tested. this is just a hunch | 00:09 |
| tretle | its used in opensuse, lol | 00:09 |
| pwnguin | i think you're eliminating too much information | 00:09 |
| pwnguin | its like the difference between architecture and engineering | 00:10 |
| pwnguin | architecture people love big empty spaces, and neat looking buildings. | 00:10 |
| pwnguin | engineers like stuff that works | 00:10 |
| tretle | gilouche works | 00:11 |
| tretle | people will not look at the window border and say how do i close this | 00:11 |
| pwnguin | DanaG: what's with the openGL fish? | 00:11 |
| pwnguin | tretle: sufficiently advanced users are going to change the defaults anyways | 00:12 |
| tretle | thats not a very good reason for dismissing it | 00:13 |
| tretle | if thats the case why have a new theme at all | 00:13 |
| pwnguin | well in my lone opinion, to fix the remaining usability problems | 00:13 |
| pwnguin | you can probably get more opinions on the mailing list | 00:15 |
| DanaG | Atlantis2. | 00:16 |
| DanaG | Fun. | 00:16 |
| DanaG | Especially in the sky above the bridge. | 00:17 |
| nothlit | cody-somerville: did you get my xubuntu logo mockups? | 02:47 |
| cody-somerville | nothlit, no, sorry. link? :) | 02:50 |
| nothlit | 07:22:57 < nothlit> cody-somerville: http://core.joejaxx.net/~nothlit/xubuntu/ the .xcf is new stuff, open in gimp-- the pngs are the sketches i showed you @ the airport and paintovers so you can see how they look simplified... make sure you're zoomed out | 02:52 |
| cody-somerville | neat :) | 02:57 |
| pwnguin | i wish i could find a good video of a mouse on a treadmill | 02:57 |
| nothlit | anyways if you don't like those i can do a new set of sketches, or stop, otherwise I can see about making a preliminary svg | 02:59 |
| pwnguin | http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6653451215387750571&q=mouse+treadmill&ei=M-xmSIu2D5Xk4ALhs-HOAg | 02:59 |
| cody-somerville | nothlit, I want to show this to Jim. I'll get back to you soon, okay? :) | 03:00 |
| pwnguin | if you ask nicely they might send you a high quality video on dvd ;) | 03:01 |
| nothlit | cody-somerville: np take as long as you need | 03:04 |
| DanaG | Heh, this is random, but moderately amusing: http://wincustomize.com/zoom.aspx?skinid=1702&libid=2 -- wooden icon theme. | 07:58 |
| DanaG | I wouldn't use it.. but it does still give me a bit of a laugh. | 07:58 |
