[13:56] <thorwil> newz2000: hi! say, the number of downloads for hardy is a secret, right? :)
[14:20] <qense> hello
[14:21] <thorwil> hi qense
[14:33] <newz2000> thorwil: yes, it is a secret
[14:33] <newz2000> mark usually publishing interesting summaries on his blog
[16:21] <vbabiy> newz2000: do you have any idea what 8.10 going to look like yet?
[16:22] <newz2000> vbabiy: no, I don't, but I noticed a new walpaper come through yesterday
[16:23] <vbabiy> newz2000: the beta will have the final graphics right?
[16:23] <newz2000> it has a bunch of swirled dots similar to thorwil's countdown concept
[16:23] <newz2000> vbabiy: there's no rule... art often gets a freeze exception
[16:24] <vbabiy> I hopes its really nice
[18:28] <newz2000> hey thorwil, are you around?
[18:30] <thorwil> yes
[18:30] <newz2000> hey, on your countdown svg file, are the images (with the swirls and numbers) svg objects?
[18:30] <newz2000> I can't seem to select them
[18:31] <thorwil> newz2000: in most cases, everything except the changing parts are clones
[18:31] <newz2000> oh, right
[18:31] <thorwil> newz2000: use the plate layer for exporting, though
[18:32] <thorwil> newz2000: that is, lock other layers, use export targets
[18:33] <newz2000> I'm not going to re-export, yours look great
[18:33] <thorwil> with them, you get proper filenames
[18:33] <thorwil> good :)
[18:33] <newz2000> I was just going to try and use your swirl in a piece that would appear next to the countdown banner
[18:36] <thorwil> well, pick one and declone :)
[18:36] <newz2000> ah, I didn't know about declone
[18:36] <thorwil> newz2000: i think it's in edit menu, clone and something about breaking the link
[18:36] <thorwil> don't remember the actial term used
[18:37] <newz2000> thorwil: btw, I like your concept on defining icon palette using bg colors, I tried this once using alpha transparency. It had some neat effects but I don't know if it could be use for icons. They're a very tricky form of art.
[18:38] <thorwil> yes, indeed :)
[18:39] <newz2000> inkscape started behaving very badly since I opened your document. :-)
[18:39] <thorwil> newz2000: heh, be happay i didn't use blur :)
