kooldudei better with the visuals... not so much the programming19:13
kooldudebut i do have somewhat expirence for configuring it19:13
pwnguinas i understand it, the point of the dark theme in intrepid is to point out the problems with dark themes on the desktop19:14
pwnguinso we can fix some of them19:14
kooldudek19:14
jlduggeractually, you can change the xchat background stuff19:15

pwnguinhttp://code.google.com/opensource/ghop/2007-8/19:41
pwnguinyea, the context was over in february19:41
kooldudeso that wouldn't be possible19:41
kooldudebecause the did it in febuary19:42
pwnguinanyways, you might keep an eye out19:42
kooldudei will19:42
pwnguinif they do it again, it might be a good way for a young person to get expeience and mentoring19:42
kooldudeman thats kool19:43
kooldudeoh yah19:43
kooldudeand i have alot of expirence with gnome already19:43
pwnguinoh?19:44
kooldudehey... does anyone know that kde came out with a new version19:44
pwnguinhttp://code.google.com/p/google-highly-open-participation-gnome/issues/list?can=1&q=completed&colspec=ID+Status+ClaimedBy+Summary&x=status&y=claimedby&cells=tiles has a list of last time's tasks, if you want to know what you'd be doing in the contest19:44
kooldudei already was looking at that page19:46
pwnguinah19:46
pwnguinhe19:46
kooldudeanyhow did you know that kde came out with a new version19:46
pwnguini dare say, this might be something ubuntu should look into, I think last time they ran out of tasks19:46
pwnguinyes19:46
pwnguinthey do that19:46
pwnguinand then their bloggers wont shut up about it ;)19:47
kooldudei think they are slightly copying the mac19:47
kooldudeos19:47
kooldudelol19:48
kooldudeman that's all kool19:50
kooldudeso what improvment's do you think i could do with my desktop theme19:50
pwnguinwell, the window decoration gloss is a bit bright; it makes it hard to read the title19:51
kooldudek19:52
kooldudei can fix that19:52
pwnguinis that the intrepid theme?19:52
kooldude?19:52
pwnguinare you running intrepid or hardy?19:52
kooldudehardy19:52
kooldudebut i think you all could use it as a base-off19:53
pwnguinyou might register a flickr account to host your screenshots; it'd be easier than dcc'ing and you'd have a historic record19:53
pwnguinyou might also try out the intrepid livecd19:54
kooldudei have one19:55
