[16:46] <dilomo> hey guys what's up?
[16:48] <dilomo> thorwil: interested to see my new progressbars?
[16:49] <dilomo> and sliders
[16:51]  * dilomo is going out for 5 min
[17:09]  * dilomo back
[17:09] <dilomo> _MMA_:  you, interested?
[17:09] <_MMA_> Sure. Ill take a look.
[17:15] <thorwil> dilomo: sure
[17:15] <dilomo> thorwil: http://www.piccdrop.com/images/1235062140.png
[17:18] <thorwil> dilomo: vertical ones look quite different from horizontal editions
[17:19] <dilomo> thorwil: that's normal because if I want o make the horizontal look ok
[17:19] <dilomo> i have to make the verical like this
[17:19] <thorwil> sucks
[17:20] <thorwil> but, do you know any place where they are used?
[17:20] <dilomo> thorwil: no I haven't seen any. I havent seen reverse horiz either.
[17:23] <dilomo> thorwil: what do you think of the sliders?
[17:23]  * dilomo brb
[17:23] <thorwil> dilomo: i think you should try to make the orange bar look flat
[17:23] <thorwil> to give the whole thing the feel of a display, not substance
[17:26] <_MMA_> thorwil: Why does a display need to be flat?
[17:26] <thorwil> _MMA_: doesn't. i said he should try it
[17:27] <_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?
[17:28] <dilomo> thorwil: 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+Wave
[17:28] <_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." :)
[17:29] <thorwil> _MMA_: your parser sucks
[17:29] <thorwil> _MMA_: i referred to the specific case of a progress bar
[17:30] <_MMA_> thorwil: Sure. Apply what I interpreted you saying to the progressbar.
[17:31] <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 element
[17:31] <_MMA_> Ahh..... Clearer.
[17:32] <thorwil> please don't go ryan-prior on me!!
[17:33] <_MMA_> Who is that?
[17:33] <thorwil> _MMA_: the guy who was so nice to impl ythat kyudo would be a useless resource
[17:34] <dilomo> so you guys like the sliders?
[17:34] <thorwil> _MMA_: who claimed to have read it all 3 times and still showed strong signs of not getting it at all. am i such a terrible writer?
[17:35] <_MMA_> thorwil: I English, sure. :P
[17:35]  * _MMA_ runs.
[17:35] <_MMA_> *In
[17:36] <_MMA_> dilomo: Go with your gut.
[17:36] <thorwil> yeah
[17:36] <_MMA_> dilomo: What type of hinting are you using?
[17:37] <_MMA_> Somethings screwed with it atm here on Jaunty.
[17:39] <dilomo> well sec
[17:40] <_MMA_> Look at this: http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/5720/screenshotah5.png Look at all the "w". That's with full hinting. A reboot makes it go away but it comes back.
[17:41] <dilomo> subpixel (lcd) smoothing + full hinting
[17:42] <dilomo> I'm not using jaunty yet
[17:43] <tretle> is that the indicator applet?
[17:43]  * dilomo dinner, be back
[17:46] <_MMA_> tretle: ?
[17:46] <tretle> in the screenshot?
[17:47] <_MMA_> You need to be more specific. I have no clue what you're talking about. Where in the screenshot?
[18:00] <thorwil> grrr. compiz is such a memory bitch
[18:07] <dilomo> thorwil: yes but it gives the desktop the abiliti to look better. See what ppl think:

[18:08] <thorwil> dilomo: what do you think why i'm using it despite having to kill it once in a while ;)
[18:08] <dilomo> :) I wish it was more lightwiight but probably in time it will become
[18:14]  * thorwil -> dinner
[18:43]  * dilomo -> watching tv
[18:44]  * _MMA_ -> tinkering with Miro. http://www.getmiro.com
