thorwiland now it's dinner time :) bbl18:02
xivulonthorwil: looking forward to it :)18:04
xivulonyou think you could make distro-specific versions?18:06

xivulonbasically each wubi dialog has 2 images a largish vertical one http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-installer/wubi/intrepid/annotate/512?file_id=kubuntukde4vertical.-20080228003518-tqfen30v2gxl2gl0-318:07
xivulonand a header one http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-installer/wubi/intrepid/annotate/512?file_id=kubuntukde4header.bm-20080228003518-tqfen30v2gxl2gl0-118:07
xivulonthe current masterpieces are my own18:07
xivulon...so they'd better be disposed of...18:07
xivulonbackground is white18:08
thorwilxivulon: the window will not hint a hint at ubuntu vs. kubuntu, except if you take a brown window frame as such18:37
thorwilxivulon: plus the window will not work for the vertical format18:39
thorwilxivulon: i think you should just remove the drop shadows and go with the plain logos18:39
thorwil"hint at hint", arg, give a hint of course18:40
Cimihi guys18:52
Nece228Cimi: Hi Sir!18:59
Cimilol, now I'm sir =)19:00
Nece228Cimi: Yes Sir!19:00
Nece228lol19:00
xivulonthorwil ok hopefully I kept the svg somewhere19:01
Nece228Noobish question - why i should use svg instead of png or jpg?19:14
CimiNece228, svg is a vectorial image19:18
Cimibasically, it's an xml19:18
Cimiyou can open a svg with gedit, nano, vim, what you want (notepad)19:18
Nece228Cimi: i heard that19:18
Cimibeing vectorial, it can be easily scaled19:19
Nece228Cimi: hmm, so this is main difference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Bitmap_VS_SVG.svg19:19
Nece228Cimi: svg preserves shapes19:19
Nece228Cimi: but svg of course is much slower19:20
Cimidid you do some math/physics at school?19:20
Nece228Cimi: yeah sure19:20
Cimithe svg has vectors19:20
Cimifor example19:20
Cimidraw a line from x to y19:20
Nece228Cimi: yeah19:21
Cimiwhile a png has pixel: pixel (x=10, y=250) is red, pixel (x=10, y=251) is blue, pixel (x=10, y=252) is purple ...19:21
Cimiso when you load a svg you can specify x, y, width height19:22
Cimiwith a png you can rescale, but you don't have precision19:22
Cimisvg is useful to draw big icons (128x128, 256x25619:23
Cimior drawing projects19:23
Nece228Cimi: im getting your mind19:23
Nece228Cimi: thats why when im zooming nautilus icons to 400% icons are still pretty19:24
Cimiexactly19:24
Cimix and y are the same19:25
Cimiwidth and height changes from 48x48 to 256x256 (for example)19:25
Nece228Cimi: well thank you for your useful information19:25
Cimithe lines automatically are drawn correctly19:25
Cimifrom x to width19:25
Cimifor example ;)19:25
Cimibut at the same time, even the colors are stored in the xml file19:26
Cimiyou can change those colors on the fly, or you can set a palette shared by icons19:26
Cimiwith gimp you can't specify colors, while with inkscape you can play with every single line19:27
Cimihttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-464378779697861020219:28
Cimisee this video19:28
Cimiit's more than what I could try to explain here19:28
Nece228Cimi: thanks19:29
