thorwili hope i will not have to look for other ways to get at reference pictures because of this judicial stupidity :/17:00
kwwiiomg17:03
kwwiithat is the stupidest thing I have ever heard17:03
Nece228finally ubuntu team changed intrepid wallpaper to a new and beautiful!17:43
kwwiiNece228: you apparently missed the email I sent to the list17:44
Nece228kwwii: what email?17:46
kwwiiI announced the new wallpaper on friday17:46
kwwiirico sta. cruz made the new stuff....really nice, eh?17:47
Nece228kwwii: i mean this: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-8-10-Has-a-Brand-New-Wallpaper-95451.shtml17:47
kwwiilol, I like how people take things that I said and quote them as if mark said them :-)17:48
kwwiiand post "news" without really trying to get to the real information17:49
Nece228kwwii: this wallpaper is really nice17:49
kwwiiglad to hear that you like it!17:49
Nece228kwwii: best of all ubuntu wallpapers, because we all are bored of simple abstract images17:49
kwwiiwell, the heron was just as good (and not abstract either)17:50
kwwiibut I do agree with the over-use of abstract images17:50
Nece228kwwii: heron is nice too but not as intrepid17:57
Nece228kwwii: theres already thread in forum and all people agree that new wallpaper is nice18:01
Nece228kwwii: but how about new theme? its still not deffered and theres no big progress18:05
hagabakahmm, i actually like http://news.softpedia.com/images/extra/LINUX/large/ubuntu810alpha1-large_001.jpg18:35
Nece228any news about new theme?18:37

jws141Hrm, murrine trunk seems a bit faster than the packaged engine for Intrepid, maybe a placebo effect?20:48
Cimijws141, I have rewritten the whole drawing code20:48
=== jws141 is now known as dashua
Cimiit should be faster20:48
dashuaCimi: Very nice.20:48
dashuaHopefully, it will get packaged for Intrepid.20:49
Cimihttp://www.cimitan.com/murrine/project/murrine/development20:49
dashuaIt's noticeably faster, even w/ Compiz.20:50
dashua:)20:50
dashuaNice work mate.20:51
Nece228let me see that...20:51
dashuaGetting a new snapshot packaged shouldn't be too hard, eh?20:52
dashuaThe only issue with trunk, is all the older themes are written with style instead of profile.20:52
Nece228dashua: where can i get murrine trunk?20:53
dashuaNot a hard fix in the gtkrc.20:53
dashuaCimi: Any other way around that?20:53
dashuaNece228: svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/murrine/trunk/murrine20:53
Nece228dashua: The requested URL /svn/murrine/trunk/murrine was not found on this server.20:54
dashuaNece228: svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/murrine/trunk/ murrine20:54
dashuaNece228: Typo20:54
dashuaSecond one20:54
Nece228dashua: thanks, so i need download all source files?20:55
dashuaYes20:55
dashua./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --enable-animation. make, make install20:55
Nece228dashua: oh man i need to press right mouse and download link20:57
Nece228dashua: o20:57
Nece228dashua: to every file20:57
dashuaNece228: ?20:57
dashuaDo you have subversion installed?20:57
Nece228dashua: its pretty long way to download all these files20:58
dashuaRun that command in a terminal20:58
dashuaIt takes a few seconds to compile.20:58
Cimibb in 2 hours21:02
dashuaCimi: Pz.21:02
kwwiiCimi: is this the newest?21:04
kwwiiLast Changed Rev: 9421:04
kwwiiLast Changed Date: 2008-10-11 14:51:01 +0200 (Sat, 11 Oct 2008)21:04
kwwiistupid question perhaps, but before I do all this work I want to make sure21:05
kwwiiok, I take that question back21:07
jws141kwwii: 94 is the latest revision unless Cimi has something planned.21:25
=== jws141 is now known as dashua
kwwiidashua: yeah, I checked myself, kinda stupid question really21:26
dashuaHa, np :)21:26
dashuakwwii: Just watch the gtkrc's will not work because of that style-profile change a few revisions ago.21:27
dashuaNot a big deal to fix.21:27
kwwiidashua: to be honest, I think that will be a deciding reason against using it21:27
kwwiias anything anyone downloads will no longer work21:27
kwwiifixing our few gtkrcs is easy21:27
dashuaThere may be an easier workaround in the code, but I'm not sure of that.21:28
dashuaIt's definitely faster.21:28
dashuaNo real benchmark tests, just personal feel.21:29
dashuaDust is just so sexxy with my laptop due the glossy screen.  I can't wait to show it off at the nearest coffee shop.21:30
kwwiihehe21:30
kwwiiI am trying to build a new package, we'll see what comes out of it21:31
kwwiiI can at least suggest it (and put it in my PPA)21:31
dashuaNice21:31
kwwiibut every time I make a package for ubuntu out of the svn I find some new problem (I am not a developer anymore!)21:32
dashuaCimi tweaked the contrast in the engine, so try experimenting with lower values.  It look quite nice with Human.21:32
dashuaAh21:33
dashuaAnyway, nice work altogether.  I think Intrepid looks very sexxy.21:35
kwwiiI wish we could have done more radical changes, personally, but things take longer sometimes I guess21:38
kwwiilol, I just found the most useless status icons ever....the bittorrent client21:40
dashuaI was reading a Linux magazine today about Mark Shuttleworth contributing to GNOME to make Ubuntu look on par or better than Apple.21:40
dashuaIt will come, I'm sure.  I think it looks quite good now.21:41
kwwiiyeah, we are hiring several people to form a team which can take something like that on21:41
dashuaHa21:41
dashuaThat is nice.21:42
kwwiiuntil now, I am the only person at the company doing all the work (packaging, bug fixing, and artwork for all of gtk/metacity/gdm/usplash, etc)21:42
dashuaWhoa, I bet you are busy.21:42
kwwiibeing busy isn't the bad part...the bad thing is working on several different totally different aspects at the same time21:43
kwwiiand I do quite a bit more than just that...I also work on the mobile stuff, some marketing stuff, and every now and then a bit of the website graphics21:44
dashuaI am still very fond of the Human theme for nostalgic reasons, so I switch back every once and again.21:44
kwwiiand marketing graphics, and secret projects that never come to be, and, and, and21:44
kwwiiyeah, I really do like the ubuntulooks engine21:44
kwwiiI really like the scrollbars (the highlights are nice), and the progress bars21:44
dashuaI'm sure there is a lot of behind-the-scenes work the community does not realize.21:45
dashuaDeprecated, we should have an official funeral.21:46
kwwiihehe, no doubt21:46
kwwiiI wish we would have paid Cimi to work on some stuff similar to that for murrine...even if it never made it into the official branch21:46
kwwiibut alas, until we have a team formed it seems things are somewhat on the back burner21:47
dashuaHopefully, maybe for the next release or two for something more radical.21:48
dashuaPeople do not realize these changes take time, but I guess they are upset with being told of a new change.21:49
dashuaI actually saw a copy of Ubuntu 8.04 for sale today at Best Buy.  Things are definitely progressing.21:50
kwwiihehe, cool21:57
kwwiisounds good :-)21:57
kwwiitime for sleep22:04
kwwiihave fun!22:04
* Cimi -> bed23:54
