| * DanaG gags | 09:05 | |
| pwnguin | reminds me of the XP desktop | 09:05 |
| pwnguin | i wonder if that was stock art | 09:05 |
| DanaG | The only grassy-hill wallpaper I've ever used is "Dark Bliss" from here. | 09:06 |
| DanaG | http://www.zeroingin.net/skins/ | 09:06 |
| DanaG | When in Windows, of course. | 09:06 |
| pwnguin | so ive been talking with one of the guys who did some work on the default hardy wallpaper | 09:07 |
| pwnguin | i havent followed -artwork for long -- do we know he feels a bit snubbed? | 09:08 |
| thorwil | pwnguin: do you mean the original author? | 09:12 |
| pwnguin | well, troy | 09:12 |
| pwnguin | i donno about ash | 09:12 |
| thorwil | oh, him ^^ | 09:12 |
| pwnguin | ash seemed happy enough to make another one for intrepid | 09:13 |
| thorwil | pwnguin: i was under the impression he just had enough of the list | 09:13 |
| pwnguin | who? | 09:13 |
| thorwil | and apparently also this channel | 09:13 |
| thorwil | troy | 09:13 |
| pwnguin | you know about when that happend? | 09:13 |
| thorwil | can't put a date on it | 09:14 |
| pwnguin | im kinda curious what happened and whether he's merely insufferable or justified in it | 09:14 |
| thorwil | pwnguin: he makes some valid points, but there's not much point in reiterating them to the same limited audience again and again | 09:15 |
| pwnguin | heh | 09:15 |
| pwnguin | he seems more willing to blame what happened on shuttleworth and canonical than say a lack of direction or dissent from the original author | 09:17 |
| thorwil | not sure about that | 09:18 |
| pwnguin | what i mean is, the original forms to the heron had a few "humans" lying about | 09:19 |
| thorwil | pwnguin: actually, he lists that wallpaper as the one thing gotten right on his blog | 09:19 |
| pwnguin | does he? | 09:19 |
| pwnguin | i thought he hated how it went | 09:19 |
| thorwil | wasn't happy with the repetition, yes | 09:19 |
| pwnguin | repitition? | 09:20 |
| pwnguin | bluh | 09:20 |
| thorwil | the heron in the background again | 09:20 |
| pwnguin | oh, well thats sasuage | 09:20 |
| pwnguin | anyways, i know its a bit dangerous to rely on one persons history of the events | 09:21 |
| thorwil | pwnguin: http://troy-sobotka.blogspot.com/2008/07/dear-mr-shuttleworth.html | 09:21 |
| thorwil | look at "I'd answer that question with a single resounding "YES". It was one decision. It was all about a bird." ... | 09:21 |
| thorwil | pwnguin: i think that story is a good example of some problems you get when different people edit some artwork | 09:22 |
| * DanaG accidentally detaches Mark Shuttleworth's head. | 09:23 | |
| DanaG | Oops. You forgot to group it. | 09:23 |
| DanaG | =รพ | 09:23 |
| pwnguin | ive seen the open letter to shuttleworth | 09:24 |
| pwnguin | it's kinda abrasive | 09:24 |
| thorwil | good thing voodoo doesn't work (like that) | 09:24 |
| pwnguin | which i guess is how some artists work | 09:24 |
| thorwil | well, if being all subtle ore even just diplomatic doesn't work ... | 09:25 |
| pwnguin | you can scream all you want in space | 09:26 |
| pwnguin | and thats where troy seems to have run off to | 09:26 |
| thorwil | pwnguin: go tell him ;) | 09:26 |
| pwnguin | it wouldn't be diplomatic | 09:26 |
| pwnguin | besides, im post #2 on that entry | 09:28 |
| pwnguin | and if troy's reading this via logs, i'll add that the letter reads like the worlds worst job application cover letter | 09:29 |
| thorwil | he's not applying for a job | 09:32 |
| thorwil | but enough (or too much, already) talking about a 3rd party here ;) | 09:32 |
| pwnguin | fine fine | 09:32 |

| xanax` | hello | 11:58 |
| Deep6 | guys is this the right place to ask to get a clue on how to make some of the more "advanced" looking themes present on ubuntu-art.org work? | 17:17 |
| Deep6 | http://www.ubuntu-art.org/content/show.php/imetalV5?content=83660 | 17:18 |
| Deep6 | as an example | 17:18 |
| zerwas | bad example ;) | 17:32 |
| zerwas | but what do you want to do exactly? | 17:32 |
| zerwas | what has been done on your screenshot is simply another gtk- and icon theme and another wallpaper | 17:33 |
| zerwas | for the bar at the bottom, take avant-window-navigator | 17:34 |
| Deep6 | sorry | 17:43 |
| Deep6 | back | 17:43 |
| Deep6 | well, is there anything to make the gtk-theme work? | 17:46 |
| Deep6 | I can't seem to get it to work | 17:47 |
| Deep6 | I get a ? in the theme manager | 17:47 |
| zerwas | then you might not have the correct theme engine installed yet | 17:47 |
| Deep6 | how do you identify the theme engine? | 17:47 |

| kwwii | re | 20:48 |
| pwnguin | you know, it would be awesome if the theme applet could set themes on a per install basis | 21:40 |
| pwnguin | sorta like how the resolution settings can be set to "this computer only" | 21:40 |
| pwnguin | its annoying to switch between the netbook theme on hardy and the new themes on intrepid | 21:41 |
