SealVgive some feedback on the backgrond please03:30
SealVhttp://img517.imageshack.us/img517/9436/screenshot2tw3.png03:39
SealVfixed link03:39
_MMA_SealV: Wow. I kinda dig that.03:46
SealV:303:46
SealVinspired by sand dunes. I will put up a wiki entry for it soon03:48
_MMA_SealV: Yeah man. I really like it. SVG?03:49
SealVyes...well to a point...Inkscape refuses to give a smooth gradient. so I did that part in the gimp03:50
SealVdither support how I crave thee03:50
_MMA_SealV: *Please* do the final @ 2560x1600. :)03:50
SealVwill do. Actually hold on, I will redo it right now (currently at 1920x144003:51
_MMA_SealV: 2560x1600 covers up to 30" monitors. If you do have a SVG, maybe someone can help you with the gradient issue.03:53
_MMA_SealV: If this doesn't get picked up for Ubuntu, I'd like to use it in another project I'm doing. A "alternative" desktop set of packages.03:54
SealVwell the gradient giving me gyp is the main background, the dunes them selves are pure svg03:55
_MMA_Still a work in frogress.03:55
SealVawesome03:55
_MMA_SealV: Well one thing that can be done, is setting the background in the appearences app and your image is just used in front.03:56
_MMA_SealV: *VERY* WIP. https://launchpad.net/alternativedesktop03:58
SealVhmm...something to consider, I dont think this thing will work with light colors in the back though..03:58
SealVI think the alternative thing is a frightfully good idea03:59
_MMA_SealV: Would you mind sending me the SVG to tinker with?03:59
SealVits messy so be warned.. I will also send you the xcf which is a bit cleaner.03:59
_MMA_coryisatm@ubuntu.com04:00
_MMA_SealV: The alt-desktop thing is gonna be odd because it has to be installed over top a CLI install. So it won't be for everyone.04:02
SealV:o how much customization are you going for?04:04
SealValso sent04:04
_MMA_SealV: That's still to be determined. It will only have 1 panel. Limited applets. Still gotta work out some details.04:05
_MMA_(got the email)04:05
SealV I wish default would switch to one panel, on my lap top the default takes up 38px (19 each) on a 12.1 in screen...04:06
_MMA_SealV: Oh you could totally get this SVG working right. Lemmie tinker.04:10
SealVhave at it good sir, my inscape-devel has been crashing far too much recently04:11
_MMA_Really? Been rock-solid here.04:12
SealVwat. mine keeps crashing whenever I try to use the triangle out feature of the pencil/bezier... etc...04:15
SealVyou install from this no? deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/inkscape-nightly/ubuntu intrepid main04:18
_MMA_SealV: Yep04:18
_MMA_SealV: I'm sending the SVG back. I just resized some things and played with the layout. Maybe you can tweak things a bit more. I'm sure it could use a hand with layering of things.04:23
SealVseems to be a bug in inkcape-devel that is upposedly fixed.. hmm.04:25
SealValso got it04:26
_MMA_k04:28
SealVawesome.. now which do you prefer in terms of background color?04:50

gaminggeeknobody like the brown04:59
gaminggeek*lines05:00
gaminggeek*likes05:00
SealVwhat color were you thinking of?05:05
gaminggeekanything but brown :P05:05
gaminggeekI'm so sick of that ubuntu brand :|05:05
SealV=__= not good, not brown basically leaves me with (orange/red/yellow)05:06
gaminggeektry a right yellow maybe05:06
SealV4 is more reddish than brown, I prefer it as well05:06
gaminggeeknot a bright strong yellow05:06
gaminggeekbut a nice mellow one :)05:07
_MMA_SealV: The brown is fine.05:07
SealVmma: is that the first link or the second?05:08
_MMA_2nd05:08
_MMA_SealV: The red tint feels odd.05:08
_MMA_I'd maybe try a tan background with the curves having Ubuntu colors.05:09
_MMA_Ill tinker tomorrow. Gotta sleep now.05:09
