| duanedesign | what does everyone think of the new intrepid look. | 03:04 |
|---|---|---|
| BHSPitMonkey | There's a new look? | 03:24 |
| DShepherd | look? new look? what you talking about | 03:26 |
| * DShepherd gets excited about this new look thing | 03:27 | |
| duanedesign | diffrent default background | 03:51 |
| duanedesign | some icon changes, cool new tabbed browsing in nautilus, eject icons next to cds and hot swappable usb devices | 04:03 |
| CITguy08 | Does anybody know where I can download the DarkRoom theme? I don't want to upgrade to Intrepid. | 05:03 |
| BHSPitMonkey | CITguy08, if you wade around packages.ubuntu.com you can find the theme package | 05:05 |
| CITguy08 | Oh, I didn't think about that. Thanks. | 05:05 |
| BHSPitMonkey | might have to actually pry open the deb and just take the theme from inside it | 05:06 |
| BHSPitMonkey | with your fingers | 05:06 |

| xivulon | thorwil: hi, I sent you a few suggestions | 14:36 |
| thorwil | xivulon: hi. yes, and i replied ;) | 14:36 |
| xivulon | ah am in the office no gmail access here :) | 14:37 |
| xivulon | thorwil: ok I read it on another machine, agree on all points :) | 14:43 |
| thorwil | xivulon: cool :) | 14:43 |
| xivulon | do you plan to change anything? | 14:43 |
| xivulon | only thing in my mind is that the window looks a bit to autocaddish if you see what I mean | 14:44 |
| xivulon | the window frame I a mean | 14:44 |
| thorwil | xivulon: yes. adding a few details and improving the landscape | 14:44 |
| xivulon | cool I'll update tonight then | 14:44 |
| thorwil | autocaddish? | 14:45 |
| xivulon | if I am still standing after the party | 14:45 |
| xivulon | like one 3D autocad blueprint | 14:47 |
| thorwil | hmm | 14:47 |
| thorwil | not sure what to do there | 14:48 |
| xivulon | http://spacedoutli.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/open-window-to-bucolic-landscape-photographic-print-c12454047.jpg | 14:50 |
| thorwil | heh. i discarded that one as reference, since i never saw a window opening outwards in my whole life. also obfuscates the view a bit, this way | 14:53 |
| thorwil | and the white color is much harder to get across (on white ground) | 14:53 |
| thorwil | maybe adding gradients to make the frame look slightly rounded, not plane will help | 14:54 |
| thorwil | bbl | 14:54 |
| xivulon | I know but the opening outwords conveys more the feeling of gooing out, and maybe a slightly hinted white frame with proper shades and borders wouldn't be too bad | 14:54 |
| xivulon | more importantly it takes less horizontal space, which is easier to place in the current web page design (which now uses a vertical image!) | 14:56 |
| xivulon | also we could use a very stylized version as a logo | 15:03 |
| xivulon | I like the frame above but with only 2 panes per side, more like the other os logo | 15:04 |
| thorwil | xivulon: even if i would agree, at this point i'm not going to redraw the window | 15:52 |
| xivulon | thorwil: can we take the one above, cut it out, and use some filters? | 15:53 |
| thorwil | xivulon: no, due to copyright | 15:54 |
| xivulon | yep was hoping for cc | 15:56 |
| xivulon | it's in fact on sale... | 15:56 |
| thorwil | xivulon: should i even bother to finish my work, or do we declare it a failure? | 15:56 |
| xivulon | but do you think that it would be that difficult to turn the window inside out? It makes the layout easier, and can be then turned into a logo | 15:57 |
| thorwil | xivulon: due to the realistic perspective, the 3d look, any other placement or angle requires everything to be redone. furthermore i think it's a bad idea, as common windows don't work like that | 15:59 |
| xivulon | the point is that I'd have to change the design of the rest of the website as if the screensize is small, there is no way I can place a large object on the right hand side column | 16:01 |
| xivulon | large = horizontally large | 16:01 |
| thorwil | xivulon: sheesh, it's made to be 256px wide | 16:01 |
| thorwil | xivulon: if i resize my browser window to take not much more than half the screen width, the side bar on the wubi page is still wide enough for that | 16:05 |
| xivulon | that's good then | 16:06 |
| xivulon | I will replace the heron tonight :) | 16:15 |
| thorwil | xivulon: ok, i will tweak it today and maybe tomorrow, you will see it in the repo | 16:17 |
| xivulon | great, drop me an email if there is anything you wish to discuss. If you can try with a white frame too. | 16:18 |
| xivulon | thanks a lot for everything | 16:19 |
| thorwil | xivulon: no problem. i really thought the photo-mashup concept would rule out issues like these :) | 16:20 |
| xivulon | just to be clear, I like your img a lot, just saw the other img today and it occurred to me that an outward white frame might have worked well too | 16:22 |
| thorwil | ok. just a case of bad timing :) | 16:22 |
| xivulon | no big deal at all, just details, the core concept of an open window is really cool | 16:23 |
| thorwil | today i received mail from a 14 year old, asking me for advice on how to learn to design with gimp and inkscape. that's a first :) | 16:27 |
| aantn | thorwil: cool :) | 16:38 |
| thorwil | aantn: now i'm writing him that the tools are secondary and that he should draw and learn about the basics like perspective. hope i don't scare him away, but it is the best advice i can give :) | 16:40 |
| kwwii | thorwil: I was talking to guy once and he said "sorry, I have to go, my mom keeps yelling at me to clean my room" | 16:40 |
| thorwil | lol | 16:40 |
| thorwil | kwwii: better than "sorry, i have to go, my owner takes me for a walk" ;) | 16:41 |
| kwwii | thorwil: what do you think of this? http://sinecera.de/rockstar3.png | 16:41 |
| kwwii | hehe | 16:41 |
| thorwil | kwwii: it has quite a bit of that rock quality it likely shall have. overall, the tone is too cool/gray, i think | 16:42 |
| thorwil | the "can be a" is on the edge of getting lost | 16:43 |
| thorwil | the type suggest that it's a rather gentle rock star. a bolder type could make clear it's a bout being a beast of a person ;) | 16:44 |
| thorwil | kwwii: does that help? | 16:45 |
| kwwii | thorwil: yes, that helps a lot, thanks! | 16:45 |
| thorwil | np :) | 16:45 |
| Kingorgg | Hi | 22:11 |
