| zerwas | Are the colours itself of NewHuman declared as final now? ;) | 00:50 |
|---|---|---|
| DanaG | Ooh, nice folder icon: http://troy-sobotka.blogspot.com/2008/07/reworking-folder-into-ubuntu.html | 06:13 |
| DanaG | Though the angle should be checked for consistency -- when I tried the Fedora slanted icons, everything seemed out of whack, so I don't want that sort of effect. | 06:14 |
| DanaG | And this bootsplash style is sheer awesomeness: http://troy-sobotka.blogspot.com/2008/07/startup.html | 06:15 |
| DanaG | Or perhaps more modestly, "I like it a lot". | 06:16 |
| BHSPitLappy | it's okay | 06:26 |
| pwnguin | Is there a way to query the HW database or ubuntu.com weblogs for information on display sizes and DPI? | 06:36 |
| * pwnguin wonders what percentage of ubuntu-art traffic is complaints about top posting | 06:47 | |
| DanaG | Heh. | 07:05 |
| DanaG | =รพ | 07:05 |
| * pwnguin is browsing the proposals | 07:12 | |
| pwnguin | I wish there was a way we could ask for proposals while suggesting that they cannot involve forking upstream software | 07:12 |
| pwnguin | but maybe I'm crazy and we want that | 07:13 |
| * DanaG wishes Gnome (can be gnome-settings-daemon or nautilus) would support ARGB. | 07:13 | |
| pwnguin | instead of? | 07:14 |
| pwnguin | CMYK? | 07:14 |
| DanaG | Currently it does not support alpha. | 07:14 |
| DanaG | So, you can't have a semitransparent background. | 07:14 |
| DanaG | It'd only make sense under a compositing manager, but it'd enable several things in one fell swoop: | 07:14 |
| pwnguin | why background? | 07:15 |
| DanaG | Want to use compiz wallpaper plugin? set background 100% transparent. | 07:15 |
| DanaG | Want to have wallpaper have a cutout "window" to other sides of the cube: use a png with an alpha channel. | 07:15 |
| pwnguin | surely you have more | 07:16 |
| DanaG | You could also use xwinwrap to wrap videos and such, without occluding desktop icons. | 07:17 |
| DanaG | Just make wallpaper transparent, and draw behind it (to the root window, I assume). | 07:17 |
| pwnguin | well, i'd just like to see fewer "lets move File Edit View" suggestions | 07:19 |
| DanaG | Another cool idea: http://www.tranism.com/weblog/archives/2006/11/os_x_atmosphere.html | 07:19 |
| DanaG | Though I've learned from experience: cloudy backdrops make me feel gloomy. | 07:19 |
| pwnguin | how about a nice cell shaded grassy hill with gusts of wind | 07:20 |
| DanaG | Look at dream.wincustomize.com -- some cool videos there. | 07:40 |
| DanaG | They're in some proprietary format, but once you use them in Windows, it extracts the video. | 07:40 |
| Cimi | hi guys | 11:53 |

| zerwas | ye i know you are busy all the time :-( | 16:16 |
| Cimi | clearlooks, murrine, ubuntu, wallpapers, gnome.themes-extras... | 16:16 |
| Cimi | maybe I will stop opensource for a year or so | 16:16 |
| Cimi | unfortunately | 16:17 |
| zerwas | oh, why?! we need your contributions :-(. is it too much to handle? | 16:23 |
| zerwas | sorry Cimi_. hope i didn't miss an answer. | 16:52 |
| Cimi_ | ? | 16:53 |
| zerwas | i said: "why?! we need your contributions :-(. is it too much to handle?" | 16:55 |
| Cimi_ | yeah too much | 16:55 |
| Cimi_ | I should study a little bit more and work in the free time to get a laptop | 16:55 |
| * Cimi_ doesn't have a laptop | 16:56 | |
| zerwas | ye i know. i recommend eBay for that | 16:57 |
| alex-weej | is it just me or have the submenu arrows gotten a whole lot bigger this cycle? | 17:13 |
| ricsi-pontaz | hello | 17:57 |
| ricsi-pontaz | somebody can help me? | 17:57 |
| ricsi-pontaz | i searching an ibex photo to my Intrepid Ibex Wallpapper conception. But i don't found any free pictures | 17:58 |
| ricsi-pontaz | anybody? | 18:08 |
| BHSPitLappy | the bestbuy-ified retail box for ubuntu makes me nauseous | 19:09 |
| === zerwas_ is now known as zerwas | ||
| kwwii | before anyone else goes off on the bestbuy box, the design of it was done by another company and apparently by the time it was done there was nothing we could do to change it | 20:41 |
| kwwii | ie, valuesoft made the box...several people within the company already mentioned that it looks crappy (and has a poor choice of text on it) | 20:42 |
| kwwii | anyway...time to pack my bags for the trip to london tomorrow | 20:42 |
| BHSPitLappy | it fits right in with the boxes of software which convert documents for viewing on your iPod | 20:43 |
| kwwii | lol, yeah | 20:53 |
| kwwii | that is probably the nicest that can be said about it | 20:53 |
| ricsi-pontaz | hi guys! | 22:25 |
