[03:04] what does everyone think of the new intrepid look. [03:24] There's a new look? [03:26] look? new look? what you talking about [03:27] * DShepherd gets excited about this new look thing [03:51] diffrent default background [04:03] some icon changes, cool new tabbed browsing in nautilus, eject icons next to cds and hot swappable usb devices [05:03] Does anybody know where I can download the DarkRoom theme? I don't want to upgrade to Intrepid. [05:05] CITguy08, if you wade around packages.ubuntu.com you can find the theme package [05:05] Oh, I didn't think about that. Thanks. [05:06] might have to actually pry open the deb and just take the theme from inside it [05:06] with your fingers === aantn is now known as aantn|away [14:36] thorwil: hi, I sent you a few suggestions [14:36] xivulon: hi. yes, and i replied ;) [14:37] ah am in the office no gmail access here :) [14:43] thorwil: ok I read it on another machine, agree on all points :) [14:43] xivulon: cool :) [14:43] do you plan to change anything? [14:44] only thing in my mind is that the window looks a bit to autocaddish if you see what I mean [14:44] the window frame I a mean [14:44] xivulon: yes. adding a few details and improving the landscape [14:44] cool I'll update tonight then [14:45] autocaddish? [14:45] if I am still standing after the party [14:47] like one 3D autocad blueprint [14:47] hmm [14:48] not sure what to do there [14:50] http://spacedoutli.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/open-window-to-bucolic-landscape-photographic-print-c12454047.jpg [14:53] 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] and the white color is much harder to get across (on white ground) [14:54] maybe adding gradients to make the frame look slightly rounded, not plane will help [14:54] bbl [14:54] 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 [14:56] more importantly it takes less horizontal space, which is easier to place in the current web page design (which now uses a vertical image!) [15:03] also we could use a very stylized version as a logo [15:04] I like the frame above but with only 2 panes per side, more like the other os logo [15:52] xivulon: even if i would agree, at this point i'm not going to redraw the window [15:53] thorwil: can we take the one above, cut it out, and use some filters? [15:54] xivulon: no, due to copyright [15:56] yep was hoping for cc [15:56] it's in fact on sale... [15:56] xivulon: should i even bother to finish my work, or do we declare it a failure? [15:57] 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 [15:59] 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 [16:01] 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] large = horizontally large [16:01] xivulon: sheesh, it's made to be 256px wide [16:05] 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 [16:06] that's good then [16:15] I will replace the heron tonight :) [16:17] xivulon: ok, i will tweak it today and maybe tomorrow, you will see it in the repo [16:18] great, drop me an email if there is anything you wish to discuss. If you can try with a white frame too. [16:19] thanks a lot for everything [16:20] xivulon: no problem. i really thought the photo-mashup concept would rule out issues like these :) [16:22] 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] ok. just a case of bad timing :) [16:23] no big deal at all, just details, the core concept of an open window is really cool [16:27] 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 :) [16:38] thorwil: cool :) [16:40] 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] 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] lol [16:41] kwwii: better than "sorry, i have to go, my owner takes me for a walk" ;) [16:41] thorwil: what do you think of this? http://sinecera.de/rockstar3.png [16:41] hehe [16:42] kwwii: it has quite a bit of that rock quality it likely shall have. overall, the tone is too cool/gray, i think [16:43] the "can be a" is on the edge of getting lost [16:44] 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 ;) [16:45] kwwii: does that help? [16:45] thorwil: yes, that helps a lot, thanks! [16:45] np :) [22:11] Hi
