| dilomo | thorwil: here's what I did today. What do you think? | 14:38 |
|---|---|---|
| dilomo | http://www.piccdrop.com/images/1229697487.png | 14:38 |
| thorwil | dilomo: good. the edges seem a little hard, though | 14:42 |
| dilomo | the round edges or the lines that are etched in | 14:44 |
| dilomo | I used a top-bottom gradient for the black so that it look more 3D | 14:45 |
| thorwil | both | 14:46 |
| dilomo | thorwil: how can I fix this? Currently I use Inkscape to draw the buttons at 48x48px and outpu them at 24x24px. If I use 100 dpi the result is the same. | 14:50 |
| thorwil | 100 dpi is your native resolution? | 14:51 |
| thorwil | anyway, exporting to anything but 1:1 can't be good | 14:51 |
| dilomo | what do you mean by native res | 14:52 |
| thorwil | the dpi or your screen | 14:53 |
| thorwil | here, inkscape assumes it's 90 dpi | 14:54 |
| thorwil | if you select a rectangle that is 100 px wide, the dpi in the export dialog has to be adjusted such that the export will also be 100 px wide | 14:55 |
| dilomo | the dpi is 96 but for the fonts I think. For the screen ... should be the same or 90 as you suggested. | 14:55 |
| dilomo | then if I have 24px image I shiuld use 24px? | 14:56 |
| dilomo | 24dpi* | 14:56 |
| thorwil | no | 14:56 |
| dilomo | oh my mistake | 14:57 |
| thorwil | dilomo: draw a rectangle, make it 100px wide | 14:57 |
| thorwil | make sure it is selected, hit ctrl-shift-e | 14:58 |
| _MMA_ | thorwil: I just exported a 100x100 square just fine @ 90dpi. | 14:58 |
| _MMA_ | Came out 100x100 | 14:58 |
| thorwil | _MMA_: i guess 90dpi is a fixed inkscape assumption | 14:58 |
| thorwil | which means that 100 dpi will lead to ... crap :) | 14:58 |
| dilomo | I did it and my inkscape is exporting at 57px = 51 dpi | 14:59 |
| thorwil | dilomo: with dpi at what? | 14:59 |
| dilomo | why crap | 14:59 |
| _MMA_ | Im sure there's a reason. I usually save things at 72dpi but it messes up the res. I should ask Ted or Bryce about this. | 14:59 |
| dilomo | most of the images of new wave are done at 45doi | 14:59 |
| dilomo | dpi* | 14:59 |
| dilomo | and the largest and more complex things are exported at 90dpi | 15:00 |
| thorwil | dilomo: if you have a 1px strong line, it will only result in a sharp 1 px line with a 1:1 resolution | 15:01 |
| dilomo | yes | 15:02 |
| thorwil | so make sure on export that 100 px in the drawing result in 100 px! | 15:03 |
| dilomo | I did the test and it does it correctly | 15:03 |
| dilomo | thorwil: but probably I should change the resolution of the drawing in incscape. My mistake was that I manually adjusted the height of the drawing to 24px and the dpi goes to 51. So If I want 24px output I should draw in 24x24px page? | 15:05 |
| thorwil | dilomo: page size doesn't matter | 15:06 |
| dilomo | but at 90dpi the X button has the same rough edges | 15:06 |
| thorwil | *shrug* | 15:07 |
| dilomo | so you bot like the form and the position of the buttons. I can smooth them in gimp | 15:22 |
| dilomo | bye | 15:52 |
| dilomo | thorwil: hi | 16:51 |
| thorwil | dilomo: welcome back | 16:51 |
| dilomo | thorwil: I've made the prelight : | 16:51 |
| dilomo | http://www.piccdrop.com/images/1229705418.png | 16:51 |
| dilomo | and the pressed states of the X button: | 16:52 |
| dilomo | http://www.piccdrop.com/images/1229705549.png | 16:52 |
| thorwil | dilomo: needs a little bleed and should perhaps include the symbol | 16:52 |
| dilomo | you mean brighter red? | 16:53 |
| thorwil | dilomo: maybe a little. what i actually meant was a little bit of red on the rounded edge | 16:54 |
| dilomo | Aham you mean using AO | 16:55 |
| thorwil | not quite | 16:55 |
| thorwil | dilomo: if you imagine this as physical object, there are 2 different effects that come to mind | 16:56 |
| thorwil | dilomo: the first would be bounced light that shines on the rounded edge | 16:56 |
| thorwil | dilomo: the other is the "aura" that light can have if the eye or a camera can't quite handle it | 16:57 |
| dilomo | yeah but thea aura is not possible with these images I made | 16:58 |
| dilomo | so I guess the first thing is the only option | 16:58 |

| dilomo | that's interesting but a red X would be too much. I like the apple keyboard but making everything with white glow is not very good | 17:05 |
| thorwil | dilomo: look beyond the color or lack of it. you see the effect i mentioned :) | 17:06 |
| dilomo | thorwil: I understand it but how is the X going to look when the button is pressed | 17:07 |
| thorwil | dilomo: a little bit brighter | 17:07 |
| dilomo | on the image I showed the light is coming from above the button not below | 17:07 |
| thorwil | dilomo: the red is magic then? | 17:09 |
| dilomo | :D | 17:10 |
| dilomo | I think that the X should remain white but with red glow | 17:11 |
| dilomo | thorwil: btw wouldn't it be better if I make it simplier. Just make the prelight lighter but wit the same etched in effect. | 17:18 |
| thorwil | dilomo: no, you should have singing angels fly around the button!! | 17:19 |
| dilomo | c'mon man why are you joking? | 17:20 |
| thorwil | dilomo: what are you doing for normal buttons? | 17:22 |
| dilomo | thorwil: nothing. What should I be doing. | 17:23 |
| dilomo | they look like the max/min on the picture I showed | 17:24 |
| thorwil | dilomo: consider to do the same for prelight for both normal and wm buttons | 17:24 |
| dilomo | I will do them as already started. That's final. These buttons are not like the normal buttons thus they should differ | 17:26 |

| tretle | I read somewhere that packagekit would be the default for kubuntu jaunty, will it be the default for ubuntu jaunty too? | 20:27 |
| _MMA_ | tretle: #ubuntu+1 would be a better channel to ask in. | 20:29 |
| tretle | jeeze thought I posted that in #ubuntu+1 lol :D | 20:30 |
| _MMA_ | :P | 20:31 |
| tretle | would rock if it did become default though, one of my favorite features of packagekit is packagekit-gstreamer which allows any gstreamer app to notify, search and install codecs without having to patch the actual app.. works with banshee, firefox, rhythmbox totem etc. | 20:42 |
| tretle | thuough banshee wont run properly unless you have gstreamer-good,bad and ugly but thats just a dependency issue | 20:43 |
