thorwilsucks17:19
thorwilbut, do you know any place where they are used?17:20

dilomothorwil: what do you think of the sliders?17:23
* dilomo brb17:23
thorwildilomo: i think you should try to make the orange bar look flat17:23
thorwilto give the whole thing the feel of a display, not substance17:23
_MMA_thorwil: Why does a display need to be flat?17:26
thorwil_MMA_: doesn't. i said he should try it17:26
_MMA_"I think you should try to make the orange bar look flat to give the whole thing the feel of a display, not substance"17:27
_MMA_What does that exactly mean then?17:27
dilomothorwil: hmm new wave 0.7.x is all flat : http://gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=3&id=87134&file1=87134-1.jpg&file2=87134-2.jpg&file3=87134-3.jpg&name=New+Wave17:28
_MMA_thorwil: To me, it reads: "A computer UI isn't a real thing do it shouldn't have depth or dimension like real things." :)17:28
thorwil_MMA_: your parser sucks17:29
thorwil_MMA_: i referred to the specific case of a progress bar17:29
_MMA_thorwil: Sure. Apply what I interpreted you saying to the progressbar.17:30
thorwil_MMA_: a non-interactive widget. not letting the positive bar have an edge could help to make the whole widget look like a single thing. one that has no user-draggable element17:31
_MMA_Ahh..... Clearer.17:31
thorwilplease don't go ryan-prior on me!!17:32
_MMA_Who is that?17:33
