[05:04] <rsc-> mouse still not working :( i tried to do a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but to no avail
[17:57] <xivulon> thorwil: hi
[17:58] <thorwil> hi xivulon
[17:59] <thorwil> xivulon: i started with the window but worked on other things the last days
[17:59] <thorwil> xivulon: should be able to get it done this weekend
[18:00] <thorwil> brb, gotta kill compiz before it eats the rest of my memory
[18:02] <thorwil> and now it's dinner time :) bbl
[18:04] <xivulon> thorwil: looking forward to it :)
[18:06] <xivulon> you think you could make distro-specific versions?
[18:06] <xivulon> http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-installer/wubi/intrepid/files/512?file_id=images-20070323003246-kfymva6ngvn1pjt3-1
[18:07] <xivulon> basically each wubi dialog has 2 images a largish vertical one http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-installer/wubi/intrepid/annotate/512?file_id=kubuntukde4vertical.-20080228003518-tqfen30v2gxl2gl0-3
[18:07] <xivulon> and a header one http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-installer/wubi/intrepid/annotate/512?file_id=kubuntukde4header.bm-20080228003518-tqfen30v2gxl2gl0-1
[18:07] <xivulon> the current masterpieces are my own
[18:07] <xivulon> ...so they'd better be disposed of...
[18:08] <xivulon> background is white
[18:37] <thorwil> xivulon: the window will not hint a hint at ubuntu vs. kubuntu, except if you take a brown window frame as such
[18:39] <thorwil> xivulon: plus the window will not work for the vertical format
[18:39] <thorwil> xivulon: i think you should just remove the drop shadows and go with the plain logos
[18:40] <thorwil> "hint at hint", arg, give a hint of course
[18:52] <Cimi> hi guys
[18:59] <Nece228> Cimi: Hi Sir!
[19:00] <Cimi> lol, now I'm sir =)
[19:00] <Nece228> Cimi: Yes Sir!
[19:00] <Nece228> lol
[19:01] <xivulon> thorwil ok hopefully I kept the svg somewhere
[19:14] <Nece228> Noobish question - why i should use svg instead of png or jpg?
[19:18] <Cimi> Nece228, svg is a vectorial image
[19:18] <Cimi> basically, it's an xml
[19:18] <Cimi> you can open a svg with gedit, nano, vim, what you want (notepad)
[19:18] <Nece228> Cimi: i heard that
[19:19] <Cimi> being vectorial, it can be easily scaled
[19:19] <Nece228> Cimi: hmm, so this is main difference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Bitmap_VS_SVG.svg
[19:19] <Nece228> Cimi: svg preserves shapes
[19:20] <Nece228> Cimi: but svg of course is much slower
[19:20] <Cimi> did you do some math/physics at school?
[19:20] <Nece228> Cimi: yeah sure
[19:20] <Cimi> the svg has vectors
[19:20] <Cimi> for example
[19:20] <Cimi> draw a line from x to y
[19:21] <Nece228> Cimi: yeah
[19:21] <Cimi> while 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 ...
[19:22] <Cimi> so when you load a svg you can specify x, y, width height
[19:22] <Cimi> with a png you can rescale, but you don't have precision
[19:23] <Cimi> svg is useful to draw big icons (128x128, 256x256
[19:23] <Cimi> or drawing projects
[19:23] <Nece228> Cimi: im getting your mind
[19:24] <Nece228> Cimi: thats why when im zooming nautilus icons to 400% icons are still pretty
[19:24] <Cimi> exactly
[19:25] <Cimi> x and y are the same
[19:25] <Cimi> width and height changes from 48x48 to 256x256 (for example)
[19:25] <Nece228> Cimi: well thank you for your useful information
[19:25] <Cimi> the lines automatically are drawn correctly
[19:25] <Cimi> from x to width
[19:25] <Cimi> for example ;)
[19:26] <Cimi> but at the same time, even the colors are stored in the xml file
[19:26] <Cimi> you can change those colors on the fly, or you can set a palette shared by icons
[19:27] <Cimi> with gimp you can't specify colors, while with inkscape you can play with every single line

[19:28] <Cimi> see this video
[19:28] <Cimi> it's more than what I could try to explain here
[19:29] <Nece228> Cimi: thanks
