[17:05] <SealV> how do I learn how to post to the mailing list?
[17:07] <thorwil> SealV: well, there's surely something about that in the wiki, but i might be able to help you
[17:07] <thorwil> SealV: what is the problem? are you subscribed?
[17:08] <SealV> I am subscribed, and I get the list compact, I just dont really know how to post
[17:09] <thorwil> SealV: you post by maling to  <ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com>
[17:10] <SealV> does that start a new topic? if so how can I reply to a topic in progress?
[17:10] <thorwil> SealV: i strongly suggest that you switch off the digest mode, as you can't reply properly in threads with it
[17:11] <thorwil> SealV: that would start a new topic, yes
[17:12] <SealV> turned off digest
[17:12] <thorwil> SealV: which mail client do you use?
[17:12] <SealV> just gmail
[17:13] <SealV> I was thinking about setting up thunderbird though
[17:16] <_MMA_> SealV: If you use Gmail, *please* don't top-post. I use Gmail with Thunderbird just fine.
[17:17] <SealV> I am guessing top-posting is creating useless new topics right? Setting up t-bird...
[17:17] <thorwil> _MMA_: a while ago i saw someone in the forum stating how hard to read mailing lists are due to all the again-and-again-quoted text :}
[17:18] <thorwil> SealV: no, top posting means putting your answer above the text you refer to
[17:18] <_MMA_> http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists/etiquette#head-c70bc55ce24849bd82885e8b0f7e972465944b5a
[17:18] <SealV> ah
[17:18] <_MMA_> thorwil: That's to do with people not editing things down to the text they are replying to.
[17:18]  * _MMA_ shrugs.
[17:19] <thorwil> _MMA_: really? my point was rather how a bad example leads to a bad impression for a user who never saw how it should be
[17:21] <SealV> jaunty final should have color changing wall.
[17:22] <_MMA_> Call me an old grouchy guy, but it's up to them to get with how things are. If they don't like ML formatting, use the forums. I know Studio maintains a presence on all 3 for this reason. (ML, forum, IRC)
[17:22] <thorwil> yah, because it's too easy to make a good static wallpaper enough people like
[17:23] <_MMA_> SealV: In my experiments, it's been pretty CPU intensive.
[17:23] <_MMA_> (while the fade happens)
[17:26] <SealV> I have always wondered about that thorwil, why cant we just put up a poll in the forum and have everyone vote
[17:26] <SealV> top 2 make it in or whatever
[17:26] <_MMA_> SealV: On what? Final wallpaper? Because it's a Canonical decision.
[17:26] <SealV> ah. didn't know that
[17:27] <_MMA_> It could however work for what goes into the community package.
[17:27] <thorwil> i have zero faith in the sum of people subscribed to the art mailing list
[17:27] <SealV> I think it would be a good idea for the community package.
[17:29] <_MMA_> thorwil: It's a shame for sure, but I think all the people who have a clue know each other and give weight to those opinions.
[18:15] <kwwii> from now on I am only responding to any question with "me too!"
[18:17] <SealV> me too!
[18:21] <kwwii> *exactly*
[18:39] <thorwil> kwwii: why is that, me too?
[18:42] <Nece228> hi
[18:43] <Nece228> im using arch linux now, but i like ubuntu theme so i copied ubuntu theme to arch linux
[18:43] <Nece228> everythink is almost great, except some icons are still missing like sound file icon, or appearance icon
[18:44] <Nece228> is there any way to have these icons on my arch linux?
[18:45] <SealV> huh? isnt a gnome theme a gnome theme? what are you using for a DE?
[18:45] <_MMA_> Nece228: Human icons depend on GNOME set.
[18:45] <Nece228> i copied icons from ubuntu intrepid, and i have 2.24 version in arch too
[18:46] <Nece228> thats quite strange
[18:46] <SealV> copy over the gnome set as well
[18:46] <Nece228> ok, i will try
[18:47] <Nece228> because now i cant restart my pc

[18:48] <SealV> or ctrl alt backspace
[18:49] <Nece228> well, i need to boot ubuntu 8.10 live cd and copy icons from live cd to arch linux partition
