melat0ninhello all14:42
melat0ninjust fancied giving my support to Ken Vermette's brilliant mockups appearing on the mailing list in the last couple of days14:42
nandeh indeed, pretty good, I like these warm colors!14:46
nandI can help with packaging btw14:47
melat0nini love the slightly offset border, it looks extremely classy14:49
* melat0nin is excited for Ubuntu's new look14:49
melat0nin(and all the positive publicity/new users it will generate!)14:49
_MMA_melat0nin: Are you under the impression that Ken's mockups will be the new look of Ubuntu?14:50
melat0ninno14:51
melat0ninbut i hope so :)14:52
melat0ninwhat is the procedure for deciding on the final look? i mean before the SABDFL gives it the go-ahead14:52
_MMA_It basically seems to just throw it out there. A small team of people making a cohesive look following their vision will get further than people making mockups.14:53
melat0nindoes MS just look through them and decide which is going to be used?14:54
melat0nino.O14:54
_MMA_No14:54
_MMA_Its all very informal.14:55
melat0ninhmmm14:56
melat0ninseems mad for something so crucial :)14:57
pwnguinhmm. most people do no associate MS with shuttleworeth15:01
pwnguinarg15:01
melat0ninhehe15:02
melat0ninoops XD15:02
_MMA_dashua: Fix your connection.15:34
dashua_MMA_: Sorry mate.  NM 7 giving me issues, back to wicd.15:40
_MMA_Ahh...15:40
_MMA_Hi Toma-.16:03
Toma-hey there16:03
Toma-question: why does ubuntus version of Tango have 'gnome-mime-*' in the mime type names?16:03
* _MMA_ shrugs.16:04
_MMA_Without looking, are they icons for specific filetypes?16:04
Toma-yeh16:04
Toma-the filenames are specific to the freedesktop rules, yet for some reason, its all scrapped in the ubuntu version16:05
Toma-also, how goes the ubuntustudio art?16:08
_MMA_Toma-: Slow. The biggest change will be the theme. But only to the trained eye. :P16:09
Toma-oic :)16:10
_MMA_Very little will change this release in the end.16:10
Toma-sorry i havent done much/anything lately :(16:10
_MMA_np16:11
Toma-but GTK theming is like pulling teeth for me16:11
Toma-its painfully restrictive. i cant even set a pixmap at the background without the damn thing tiling heh16:11
_MMA_:)16:12
Toma-http://members.iinet.net.au/~haste/e17/new-preview.png16:14
Toma-see!16:14
Toma-and more comparatively... http://members.iinet.net.au/~haste/e17/gtk-fail-lol.png16:15
Toma-_MMA_➜ anyway, if youre interested, i might be doing a GTK theme for my Grunge E17 theme some day soonish so the Ubuntu SE guys can use it too16:16
Toma-Ill show you when that comes about :)16:16
* _MMA_ looks.16:18
_MMA_Toma-: Im sure there's a way to do it. :)16:21
Toma-yeh, apt-get remove gnome :D16:21
Toma-there are other pixmap type engines, but i havent seen any that can do good things16:22
_MMA_Toma-: Not to be short but I've spent the past 3hrs sitting on my ass here getting some of the site updated. (logo is still off to the far right) Gotta go for a bit to do some stuff around the house. bbl.16:24
Toma-no problem :) see you around16:24
geek_inn2hi .....anyone18:28
geek_inn2i have my collection of artwork18:29
geek_inn2see gnome-look@dragoninsane18:29
geek_inn2i created some artwork with that name Dragoninsane hope you like it18:30
geek_inn2any developers in this room official18:33
_MMA_In what way?18:33
_MMA_And a clickable link would be best for your work.18:34
geek_inn2oh...but gnomelook gives option to search...go with dragoninsane18:34
_MMA_Too much like work. ;)18:34
geek_inn2actually i just now posted something on home page with name ubuntu brown sin18:35
geek_inn2just check out18:35
geek_inn2www.gnome-look.org/.../search.php?username=dragoninsane&PHPSESSID=2d9d727fc262f915e203644e5813953518:36
_MMA_40418:37
geek_inn2oh you got page not found error18:38
geek_inn2i think better you open the gnome-look homepage18:39
geek_inn2i posted walls like with names: "ray of hope pink",purple or pink etc18:39
_MMA_It's pretty basic. I wouldn't feel it's anything good enough to ship with Ubuntu. http://www.gnome-look.org/usermanager/search.php?username=dragoninsane&action=contents&PHPSESSID=bb4cc0cd0b7d0fcd853a7f4f784628bc18:40
geek_inn2http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ubuntu+brown+sin?content=8613018:40
pwnguinkinda bad gradient18:43
geek_inn2ya thats what brown doesnt go well with other colors18:43
pwnguini just meant, i can see the banding18:43
geek_inn2ok this is 1600 version :http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/dark+ubuntu?content=8612718:45
_MMA_And the logo looks like it was cut from something. You can also see compression in the logo.18:45
pwnguinbut i think the bar's been set a bit higher since hardy's heron wallpaper18:45
geek_inn2one more:http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/pink+or+purple?content=8613218:46
pwnguinMMA's right -- the circle of friends should be taken from svg18:46
_MMA_pwnguin: Im sorry. Even stuff before Hardy is better than this.18:46
_MMA_This is uninspired.18:46
geek_inn2well i also posted some other things in there,but hey SVG is not supported in photoshop or windows18:46
geek_inn2ya nothing is inspired from ubuntu...official stuff the logo is exception18:47
pwnguinim pretty sure you can render an svg into a photoshop document just like you can with gimp18:47
pwnguingeek_inn2: you didn't like the heron?18:47
geek_inn2i do ....but its outdated now.......also brown ........yakhhhhhh18:48
_MMA_pwnguin: No. He misunderstood what I said.18:48
_MMA_*sigh*18:48
geek_inn2yikes....i dont like brown that much18:48
pwnguini dont think anyone likes pink as much as you do ;)18:50
geek_inn2iam not professional in graphics...but still i managed to put some stuff there18:50
geek_inn2what is word of inspiration for me as beginner18:50
geek_inn2ya tell me what colors you like18:51
pwnguinwell, it really doesn't matter much what colors I like18:51
pwnguinbrown is the mandate18:51
geek_inn2i posted and tried all colors except red in my walls18:52
geek_inn2no almost all colors i posted there.....but i like pink and skyblue very much18:52
geek_inn2all colors*18:52
geek_inn2hey but iam just beginner18:53
pwnguinif you'd like an excuse to try out gimp, I have one18:55
pwnguinhttp://jldugger.livejournal.com/12544.html18:55
geek_inn2what18:55
geek_inn2i mean gimp doesnt give me natural feeling,the plugins/menus are all scrambled18:55
pwnguinindeed. familiarity is part of UI18:56
geek_inn2i need one window app,not 318:56
pwnguinbut dont worry18:56
pwnguinthis is a no tools tutorial18:56
pwnguinhttp://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_GIMP_Fractal_Backgrounds18:56
pwnguinanyways, just a suggestion if you really think photoshop can't render an svg into a bitmap18:58
pwnguinim no professional either, so I can't tell you how to use photoshop ;)19:00
geek_inn2when is this full of churning19:01
pwnguin"this"19:02
geek_inn2i meant this room19:02
geek_inn2i ...............mean busy dude19:03
geek_inn2i see no activity here19:03
pwnguinwell19:03
pwnguinthis is a pretty good level of activity19:03
pwnguinits no #ubuntu19:03
pwnguinthats just crazy19:03
geek_inn2ya something should happen19:04
geek_inn2i mean 3-4 people can talk19:04
pwnguinanyways, this channel mostly deals with proposals for default ubuntu art and other decisions19:05
geek_inn2when i was beginner(i mean when i first saw pc wallpapers) thought that they where good/best now i hate19:06
geek_inn2fractals/abstact art19:07
geek_inn2abstract19:07
pwnguini think they're neat, and a pretty good way to get started exploring. they're not really "default" material19:08
geek_inn2does developers card about mockups and gnome-look mockups/deviant art mockups19:34
darkmattergeek_inn2: nope.. the developers don't care about anything but hiding outstanding bugs behind useless new features.. it's a freetard tradition20:56
kwwii_MMA_ is a wierdo22:04
_MMA_Why? Because I like to smear myself with peanut butter?22:06
darkmatternah... I think it was the whole "_MMA_ mates with poodles" thing that earned ya the weird classification22:08
_MMA_Can't help it. They're oh so cute.22:09
kwwii4 days and I will be on a plane22:10
kwwii3 weeks without internet22:10
kwwiicrazy stuff22:11
_MMA_Ouch. :)22:11
kwwii_MMA_: dude, how about the wallpaper and gdm, got it done yet?22:18
kwwiijust let me know when it is done, I am flexible ;-)22:19
_MMA_Yeah. Right after I sort out my own. ;)22:22
kwwiisee, that is the problem with the community, they're never willing to step up and take resonsibility22:25
kwwii:p22:25
kwwii"I pity the fool that have to deal with mark uninformed"22:26
_MMA_Feck Ubuntu. :P22:26
kwwiieasy for you to say22:26
_MMA_Had I been paid...22:27
kwwii no doubt22:28
_MMA_kwwii: Don't think I've given up on the icon ideas we threw around. I just got things going on here and I just can't wrap my head around doing the work yet. Things should come into focus once I get my job situation settled.22:31
kwwii_MMA_: no worries, I am happy if you show up just so that I can give you shit once and a while22:32
