thorwilkwwii: had a look at the get_ubuntu banners? if i hear nothing else, i'll go with Mathews choice of nr. 317:55
kwwiithorwil: yes, I like #3 as well17:56
kwwiiit seems to be the most well balanced very17:56
kwwiiversion17:56
thorwilkwwii: his only concern was that it doesn't look clickable17:57
* thorwil -> food18:03
thorwilplop18:49
kwwiithorwil: I guess you could underline the GET to make it look more like a link18:54
thorwilkwwii: was my first thought. a bit brutal. i gonna try to give the whole thing a button look18:55
kwwiior perhaps add some kind of mouse-cursor-like arrow to say "click here"18:56
thorwilkwwii: that was my second thought ;)18:57
psyke83kwwii: hey, did you figure out the panel bg thingy?19:01
kwwiipsyke83: well, I know how set the bg_pixmap but apparently there is no way to tell it to stretch19:09
kwwiiif I set the pixmap in gtkrc then the gconf stretch setting gets ignored19:10
kwwiiif I set it all in gconf it works great but people complain that it is too hard to change themes19:10
psyke83kwwii: what about the pixmap engine options, then? I think there's overlay_stretch, though I'm not sure if it can do what you want19:12
kwwiisometimes I think that if I don't learn how to hack on gnome/gtk we'll never be able to theme the desktop right19:12
kwwiipsyke83: yeah, I saw that in a couple of themes...not sure if I want to use another engine in the default ubuntu theme though19:13
psyke83there's overlay_stretch and stretch options (both booleans)19:13
kwwiinot sure what that will do to the performance19:13
psyke83right...19:13
psyke83kwwii: after checking the docs, I'm sure that bg_pixmap is explicitly for tiled images only, unfortunately19:20
psyke83perhaps you can work around this problem; make the pixmap exactly 24pt high, and draw it in such a way that the horizontal tiling will not be noticeably (no seams)19:22
psyke83*noticeable19:22
kwwiipsyke83: yeah, but that ruins the whole effect of the pic :-(19:32
psyke83damn, too bad... it seems the pixmap engine is your only option then (aside from gconf keys)19:33
thorwildid i mention that i believe we are living in the digital stone-age? :)19:34
kwwiihehe, no doubt19:34
ian_brasil__the gconf gtk_theme on intrepid is set to Human-Clearlooks but there is no entry on /usr/share/themes or .themes for this19:37
ian_brasil__how does this work?19:37
* ian_brasil__ apologizes for possible dumb question19:38
kwwiihi ian_brasil__ ...what in the world are you doing working on themeing?20:17
ian_brasil__kwwii: hey! if you really want to know working on a book about ubuntu mobile20:17
ian_brasil__with a section on theming20:18
kwwiiian_brasil__: wow, sounds really cool20:20
kwwiiian_brasil__: if you need any info feel free to send me a personal email20:20
ian_brasil__kwwii? ok, i will do...gtk themes are a bit confusing IMO20:23
zniavregood evening / bonsoir20:31
thorwilgood evening zniavre20:31
zniavrei m looking for theming notification do you know where it's possible to change the human look notification ?20:31

kwwiizniavre: the colors and such are defined in the gtkrc20:35
zniavrevia wich widget the notification are defined?20:36
zniavre(sorry my english i am a bit french20:36
kwwiizniavre: erm, I take that pack...it takes the colors from the gtkrc (bg and fg) but nothing else in the gtkrc20:40
kwwiiI was thinking of the tooltips20:40

thorwilkwwii: http://xs432.xs.to/xs432/08432/get_8_10_02879.png20:55
kwwiiwow, there are no longer drivers for my graphics chip to enable compiz20:59
kwwiiwhat a major regression20:59
kwwiithorwil: I prefer the second...looks nice20:59
kwwiialthough the underlined GET does say "click me" more than the second21:00
kwwiibut the second is prettier :p21:00
thorwilkwwii: good, thanks. over in #ubuntu-website the overworked newz still worries it won't be taken as link21:00
thorwilkwwii: i would lean towards 2A , but 1A (need both to take the place of each countdown banner series)21:02
thorwilarg, 1C, of course21:02
* thorwil wonders how many friggin bug notifications he saw today for that panel bg21:03
