dashuaBreathe looking very nice :)03:05
dashuaI just need to get this damn flash working on 64 Ibex.03:05
dashuaNice work.03:05
PRGUY85seeing as how thorwill created those countdown to launch day banners03:42
PRGUY85would it be safe to assume that the latest wallpaper is final?03:43
kwwiiCimi: right, new engine and theme packages coming in the next days (I've been sick)08:27
xivulonHi all, I need to replace the artwork in http://www.wubi-installer.org/10:36
xivulonin particular the beautiful heron has to go and be replaced by an ibex.10:37
xivulonis there some official "ibex" to use for the purpose10:38
xivuloncircle of friends and such will do too. Suggestions welcome10:38
thorwilhi xivulon10:39
xivulonhi :)10:39
thorwilhmm10:42
thorwilsome people remain critical of using the codename animal10:43
xivulonI am open to suggestions10:44
andreasndidn't Rico Sta. Cruz do a cool Ibex?10:44
thorwilyes. i will hunt for the link10:44
xivulonIf you have some more abstract idea for the website feel free10:44
thorwilxivulon: i could offer an SVG for the ibex shape found at the bottom of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website/IntrepidCountdownBanners?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=tw_intrepid_countdown_06_spiral.png10:45
xivulonSomeone also suggested me to change the website colorscheme, as the red might turn people off10:45
xivulonBeing associated to "warnings"10:45
xivulonThere too if you have proposals I'll be happy to switch10:46
thorwilxivulon: http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/8062/bareos1.png10:46
thorwilmeant to have a non-white background, though10:47
xivulonthat's a beautiful one, but the white background might be an issue (in theory it just need css changes, but I am not good in generating dark color schemes)10:48
xivulonSomeone also commented that the Heron was not appropriate since it was associated to the desktop of Gnome, while Wubi also provides Xubuntu and Kubuntu10:49
thorwilxivulon: as i already have lots of stuff on my list, i can offer to take this to our mailing list10:50
xivulonsure10:50
thorwilxivulon: so in short you are looking for a replacement for the heron and you're open for everything there.10:51
xivulonif someone wants to play with the overall design, the css is http://www.wubi-installer.org/wubi.css and the images are in http://www.wubi-installer.org/images/10:51
xivulonthorwil: correct, I do need to change the heron and if one once to take one or two steps further and revamp the website design with some cool ideas, why not?10:52
thorwilxivulon: the only really notable occurence of red i see is in the logo10:53
xivulonHorizontal lines and checkmarks also are in red10:53
xivulonI must say I really like the spiral10:54
xivulonthe one made of circles10:54
xivulon1) for mathematical reasons, 2) because it reminds of debian10:54
thorwilthanks! the association with debian is not intentional, though10:55
xivulonAnd on the other side horns have a peculiar meaning in Italy...10:55
thorwilxivulon: seems it's already up: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/countdown10:55
xivulonSo I'am probably more inclined to use the abstract graphics :)10:55
thorwilxivulon: you mean having been cheated on?10:56
thorwilas in girl slept with another man?10:57
xivulonheh yeah that is the meaning10:57
thorwilxivulon: it exists in german to :)10:57
thorwils/to/too/10:58
xivulonthe (short) spiral of course might be interpreted as a horn10:58
xivulonbut 1 horn is cool...10:58
xivulon2 horns not cool...10:59
thorwilwell, i would hope the ibex will be seen as ibex ^^10:59
thorwilxivulon: i'd like to have your real name for the mail and an address for CC (excpet if you want to subscribe to the list). PM me if you so prefer11:00

xivulonthorwil: thanks a lot11:13
thorwilxivulon: np11:13
xivulonI for one like that wallpaper...11:15
thorwilxivulon: kwwii made it11:19
thorwilto me, it's sad that it is being criticized for daring to introduce even the most subtle hint of colors other than brown-red-orange11:21
tuxicehello12:46
thorwilhello tuxice12:46
tuxicehello12:46
tuxicewhats with the theme for intrepid alpha & beta12:46
tuxicemany users are complaining with usability12:47
tuxicethere is a planned change for the final release correct?12:47
thorwilnot that i know12:47
tuxicethat could be a problem12:48
tuxicehave any wallpapers been selected?12:48
tuxicehello njpatel_12:48
njpateltuxice: hey12:49
njpatelnjpatel_: is my alterego using my laptop :-)12:49
tuxiceoh12:49
tuxiceweird.....12:49
thorwiltuxice: what has been selected is what you see in the beta. while the wallpaper could be replaced for the final release, i doubt it will12:50
tuxiceok, i shall take a look (havent seen the beta yet), is the theme the same as the alpha12:50
tuxice?12:50
thorwiltuxice: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Njc1NA12:51
tuxiceok, so basically its 8.04's theme with a new wallpaper?!?!?!? what happened to the readical new design?!?!?!?!?!?12:53
thorwiloh please, be careful with those ! and ?, because if you continue like that, we will soon have none of them left!12:54
tuxicei believe we should aim for this more12:55
tuxicehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Intrepid/Clear_Intrepid12:55
thorwiltuxice: nothing. who said "radical", btw?12:55
tuxiceforum members, and i believe i read it somewhere on a wiki page12:56
thorwilpeople on the forums often get stuff wrong or even make it up12:56
tuxiceok12:57
tuxiceso basically it is what it is12:57
thorwilit is true that there were plans to have a new theme for hardy already, then it was decided that the LTS release as last of a serious should not introduce such changes12:57
tuxiceand then i thought that was supposed to be postponed till intrepid12:58
thorwili'm not even sure there was an outright promise to have the new theme in intrepid, but mybe there was12:58
thorwilbut then only what either Mark Shutlleworth or the art director Kenneth Wimer said counts12:58
tuxicewill these be the folders? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Intrepid/Intrepid_Ibex_Icons_-_Art_Team?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=pn_folder_overview.png13:00

thorwiltuxice: there are 2 projects within the ubuntu artwork community that should make us more productive. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/BreatheIconSet and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/KyudoGuidelines13:04

thorwilok, i was worried you might underestimate the effort :)13:09
tuxicenope13:09
tuxicehey, can i help with the breathe icons?13:09
thorwiltuxice: you should consider to join one of the already running theme projects13:09

Nece228i think at least they should make gradient, panel background and to change color pallete13:35
thorwilgrrr. wordpress doesn't allow me to insert a <script> into a post. no live countdown banner for me. http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/countdown13:35
Nece228thorwil: what do you mean by "The theme teams are doing a good job now on a few community themes"13:43

thorwilNece228: no idea, but if you use the PPA, the dependency should be taken care of already14:09
Nece228thorwil: ive installed community-themes_1.0_all.deb14:10
thorwilNece228: if something with it doesn't work, you should report to kwwii14:10
Nece228thorwil: because i see only new borders, but gtk looks like raleigh14:11
Nece228thorwil: all these themes will be included in intrepid?14:14
thorwilNece228: i'm not sure if the package will be installed by default, or just be offered in addition14:15
Nece228thorwil: ok, thanks for link :P14:16

Mirvthere's now a link similar to ubuntu.com below the image20:57
thorwilMirv: it's ok, although it lacks the care i invested in scaling the number and text for the best layout20:58
thorwilgotta run. good night!21:01
Mirvthorwil: right, ok. I'll ask if the person who did the hacking would like to take a look at the exact scaling/font used in the original21:01
