dashua_MMA_: http://picpaste.com/pics/Screenshot-1.1235355588.png02:20
* _MMA_ clicks02:20
dashuaBetter or worse? IYO02:20
_MMA_dashua: I'm diggin' that man.02:21
dashuaDark panel, lighter menus02:21
dashuaSweet02:21
_MMA_I like the color variance between things. Light menu. Grey window and dark panel. Nice.02:22
_MMA_Really, I think I'd like to use this with my alternative-desktop project once I get a little more of that worked out.02:22
dashuaI have a mod with dark menus sort of like Dust, but Oo menubar us giving me issues02:23
dashuaAwesome :)02:23
dashuaShould I throw this one the wiki as an alternate version or make this the main and the lighter panel darker menus the mod?02:24
_MMA_dashua: I'm using this with Dust atm. I'm emailing the artist for a hires one. http://www.flickr.com/photos/stitch/3079514354/sizes/o/02:24
dashuaAh that's nice.02:25
_MMA_dashua: I would make this the main one. I think it is an improvement. But that's just me. :P02:25
dashuaYeah, same here.02:25
dashuaJust wanted some other opinions.  Thx.02:26
_MMA_np02:26
dashuaThat start here icon Sebastien just posted is hot.02:27
_MMA_Reminds me of the one used in KDE4 but that's fine. We'll see where he goes with it.02:27
dashuai like the black Ubuntu logo.02:28
dashuaI always liked that on other icon themes.02:28
dashuaBreathe is really picking up a buzz, that's great.02:29
_MMA_You seen it mentioned anywhere else?02:35
_MMA_dashua: ^^^ (forgot to use your name to highlight you) :P02:37
dashuaYeah, all over the art pages (GNOME, Ubuntu, etc.)02:38
dashuaPeople are really digging it asking where to get it.02:39
dashuaNow with the PPA it'll be easier to direct them.02:39
_MMA_dashua: Yeah. I still gotta solidify my workflow. Making updates to trunk, then go to the packaging branch that end up in the PPA. I might have to script something.02:40
dashuaYeah, most build average users don't know how to build things, so this it'll be good. (packages)02:41
Cimi_which features I will implement in murrine tomorrow? any ideas?03:04
_MMA_Cimi_: Have Murrine was my car and find me a job.03:12
_MMA_s/was/wash03:13
Cimi_ok no features for you :)03:17
_MMA_hehe03:19
_MMA_dashua: Try this one as a background. http://www.flickr.com/photos/georgesgewels/244584264003:24
dashuaCimi_: How about shadows/gradients beneath progressbars and radio/checkbuttons like in MODERN Nodoka, that possible?03:27
dashua_MMA_: That's nice.03:27
_MMA_dashua: When can I test what you're currently working on?03:29
dashuaI'm working on it now.  I lost my glazestyle on the selected items on the lighter menu.  Trying to see what I messed up here.03:30
_MMA_np. I'm just getting a little inspired for alt-desktop here. If you're ok with it, I'd like to use your new work.03:32
dashuaYeah, np.  I'd be delighted.  Just trying to work a few tweaks. :)03:34
Cimi_dashua, murrine already has shadows and gradients on those widgets03:44
dashuahttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Jaunty/Nodoka%20Dust?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=Widget_02012009.png03:45
dashuaLike that?  I may need to mess with some settings.03:46
Cimi_in murrine they are much more subtle03:46
dashuaIf you zoom in on it,  looks like it's tilted or something.03:47
dashuaLike a 3d effect.03:47
dashuaAh alright.03:47
rsc___:D06:18
_MMA_throwil: Where did you get the ratio numbers you posted? Because, 2560x1600 and 1920x1200 are 16:10. (a small detail as long as people just use the X&Y sizes to create)13:49
thorwil_MMA_: quoting myself:"8:5 is often given as 16:10 ..."13:56
_MMA_Weird. It's obviously half but here (states) I've never seen it posted that way.13:57
_MMA_I guess people are so used to 16:9, 16:10 gives a more obvious mental picture. 16:9, but a little bigger.13:58
thorwilyep13:59
thorwilbut i dislike inconsistencies :)13:59
_MMA_dashua: Around?14:35
thorwildiscussing mailing list options, great19:01
_MMA_I know. I know.19:02
* _MMA_ shakes head.19:02
thorwilnice lack of quotation markup in dilomo's mail19:02
thorwil_MMA_: i can't imagine that it was directed to Sebastian. but it's a trainwreck of a message. he should leave that to our fail guys19:08
_MMA_hahaha19:10
_MMA_That's why I mentioned "I hope you just quoted something out of order."19:11
* thorwil sends mail to Anton, regarding quotations19:57
_MMA_He's a gmail user and he's the only one I seen that happen to. I don't know what he's doin' different.19:58
* _MMA_ thinks he's gonna take a year or so away from Ubuntu and learn Blender.20:01
thorwil1 year for Blender? mwuhahahaha20:01
thorwilplan for the "or so"20:02
_MMA_I didn't say I'd be a guru or anything. :) Just as things are, I can't even get started.20:02
_MMA_Hell, I'd go to school for it if there were local clasess.20:03
thorwil_MMA_: i learned mayn apps by simply fooling around with them. the notable excpetions are solidworks and blender20:04
thorwilfor solidworks, i needed a little push to understand the basics20:04
thorwiland for blender i had to go through an introductionary tutorial20:05
thorwiland would need to read docs/tuts for anything new i havn't done before ...20:05
_MMA_I'm also looking into Blender for video editing. I think it's actually the best thing we got atm. I made a .deb that launches Blender with a custom layout and menu entry.20:05
thorwilwell, you read troy's blog, right?20:06
_MMA_(.deb that installs a setup that is)20:06
_MMA_Not lately. I got the .blend file from him for the UI.20:07
thorwil_MMA_: prepare ... take a deep breath ...20:11
_MMA_...20:12
thorwil_MMA_: the reason for Anton's lack of > is ... Outlook20:12
_MMA_Nooo.......20:12
_MMA_hehe :)20:12
thorwilwindows because of autocad20:13
_MMA_At *least* use Tbird. :P20:13
_MMA_thorwil: Sure. Even I got XP around for a couple of apps. But unless Im usin' them Im in nix.20:13
_MMA_Man. I can't think of 1 person I know that uses Outlook outside or the office. :)20:15
_MMA_s/or/of20:15
* thorwil passes on the thunderbird suggestion20:16
_MMA_thorwil: Thunderbird imports Outlook accounts won't it?20:21
thorwilcould be20:22
dashua_MMA_: Sup mate?21:08
dashuaJust got home, finishing some final touches on Miu and I'm going to upload it.21:09
SiDihey dashua, you're the one working on Miu ? :)21:12
dashuaSiDi: Yes, I'm changing to a dark panel and some other tweaks.21:13
SiDiWell, i'd like to know then21:13
SiDiCould you look into an issue i'm having with Miu ? it really renders badly with Thunar21:13
dashuaScreenshot?21:13
SiDisec21:14
SiDiAlso, i made an xfwm for it21:14
SiDii posted the link on the mailing list and in gnome-look.org21:14
_MMA_dashua: Yo. When you get a min, I'd like to tinker with what you're working on. (just test here to get an idea of some things)21:15
SiDiDamn i don't have Miu's gtk in my Intrepid distro21:15
dashua_MMA_: Sure.  Want me to send you what I have?21:15
dashuaIt's pretty much complete I'm just playing with BG[SELECTED] on the dark panel21:16
dashuaLooks pretty good so far.21:16
dashuaFor the menubar.21:17
_MMA_dashua: coryisatm@ubuntu.com21:17
dashua_MMA_: One sec :)21:17
_MMA_Take your time.21:17
_MMA_dashua: I'm gonna rename it locally so I can install it in parallel.21:18
dashuaSure21:18
dashuaNp21:18
SiDiUploadin21:19
SiDiWhen i was in jaunty it was even more blatent, but still : http://img10.imageshack.us/my.php?image=miuthunar.png i'm using murrine SVN21:20
SiDii might make a screen of nautilus/thunar next to each other next time i'll boot on jaunty so that you can see21:20
SiDithe icons in thunar are just almost twice as big as in nautilus21:21
dashuaSiDi: That is fixed in the update.21:21
dashuaIcon sizes.21:22
SiDiah great then :)21:22
dashua_MMA_: Sent.21:22
SiDialso, would you mind including the xfwm ? that'd be cool for xfce users21:22
dashuaSiDi: Sure, I'm not an XFCE user but I should be able to figure it out. :)21:22
SiDithanks ;)21:23
SiDihttp://www.xfce-look.org/content/show.php?content=99823 i packaged it here21:23
dashuaOk, will look into tonight.21:23
SiDiif there are any changes in the metacity i'll just change the xfwm too. Anyways i have to redo it with a bigger height21:24
_MMA_dashua: Oh hell. What engine does this use?21:26
dashuaMurrine21:26
_MMA_Hmm...21:26
dashuaAnything over 130 something should work.21:26
* SiDi wants an @ubuntu.com address too .. :)21:26
_MMA_dashua: Says it wants a theme called "CLASSIC".21:27
dashuaHrm, that's a mod of the metacity21:27
dashuaMaybe the index is borked.21:27
_MMA_I'm running studio so it's a little more bare-bones than Ubuntu. I thought I might be missing a depend.21:28
dashuaWhat murrine version?21:29
dashuaYou definitely need a newer murrine package.21:29
SiDiIf i remember well, on jaunty, with the murrine svn PPA enabled, i was having trouble with it too21:29
SiDii just removed the index.theme and then it worked21:29
_MMA_dashua: That's it. I'm running the repo version of Murrine. Got a link to a new .deb?21:29
dashuaI'll have to make a new index then21:30
dashuaSure21:30
SiDiis the repo one actually the 139 ?21:30
_MMA_It's murrine .60 here.21:30
dashuahttps://launchpad.net/~suraia/+archive21:30
dashuaI'm on revision 14321:30
dashuaDotted focus is gone :)21:30
dashuaBut the gtkrc should still work with that PPA21:31
* _MMA_ sits back and watches him screw the Studio theme up.21:32
dashuaSiDi: Ha, yeah it will bork it, maybe.21:33
dashuaOr you'll get a deprecation warning21:33
SiDiWell i was having a weird message with the index.theme, involving this line21:33
SiDiand when i removed it, the theme was available in the "customise" theme menu, but not in the appearence window21:33
SiDithough it was working21:34
dashuaI guess I should those XFCE panel tweaks as well for the dark panel.21:34
dashuaadd*21:34
_MMA_dashua: What is the classic theme? Part of GNOME themes or is this your index.theme issue?21:35
dashuaIt's the metacity theme name.  I need to rename it.21:35
SiDiyou can inherit metacity themes ? Oo21:36
_MMA_dashua: I think it needs a bit to tie in the brown. I'd play with making the menu highlights brown as well as the space between the buttons and the far left on the metacity.21:43
* _MMA_ also doesn't know about the orange text on tabs.21:43
dashuaYeah.21:44
dashuaI'm torn with the orange.  I like it sometimes and other times I play with black.21:44
SiDiAh, the orange text on tabs isnt normal ?21:44
dashuaNormal for now until we modify it.21:45
SiDiOkey21:45
_MMA_Now the orange on the menu I don't feel real strong about it's just a idea but I think if you could make just that little space in the metacity match the panel that might be cool.21:45
_MMA_dashua: I like how the area with the buttons is squared off or looks to lean out from the titlebar.21:46
dashuaOkay.21:46
dashuaThx.21:47
dashuaThe theme is pretty much complete absent the color scheme tweaks and text.21:47
dashuaIt's pretty responsive too, not that matter too much.21:47
_MMA_dashua: There's also an issue on roll up. There's a 2px or so line at the bottom that doesnt go to the very ends.21:48
dashuaAh alright.21:49
_MMA_dashua: Your bottom corners, the round parts, also need to have the same grey line go from the side to the bottom. Right now, the frame looks broken.21:50
dashuaI'm actually using Impression's metacity now.  I think that has some potential if the button issues are worked out.21:50
dashuaThe bottom right and left corners seemed a bit off to me.21:50
_MMA_Yeah. Looks like the corners are nipped off.21:51
_MMA_dashua: And don't get me wrong. I think this has alot of potential. God. If people only knew how much tinkering went into the Studio theme. Back and forth. Back and forth.21:52
dashuaYeah. I know.  People will never understand.21:53
dashuaIt's is a lot work.  You change one thing, it messes up something else.21:53
_MMA_Yes sir.21:53
dashuaJust let me know, and I'll tweak it up.21:53
dashuaIt seems like people may actually like and use this theme if I get it right.21:54
_MMA_Well the note above are all Ill do for now. :) Don't wanna overwhelm ya. :)21:54
dashuaAlright21:54
SiDi_MMA_: do you actually work at Ubuntu ? Just curious21:55
dashuaI just want to make sure I keep it warm and it says "Ubuntu" to some extent.21:55
SiDigd night21:58
_MMA_SiDi: I started Ubuntu studio and am currently it's lead artist. I handed over the main reigns at the start of Jaunty. I know Ken pretty well. Now a bunch of Ubuntu folks. But to answer directly, I have only contributed little pieces to Ubuntu proper.21:58
_MMA_Oh well.21:58
* dashua heard you :)21:59
_MMA_:P22:00
_MMA_dashua: You know how you hit a menu option and it turns Orange with the menu below?22:00
dashuaOn the Menu Bar (Upper left)22:01
dashua?22:01
_MMA_The menu.22:01
dashuaThat is what I'm toying with.22:01
_MMA_File Edit Blah blah blah22:01
dashuaI tried black, but this gives now action22:02
dashuaAh22:02
dashuaYeah22:02
_MMA_I think the bottom of the orange button things looks odd with rounded bottom corners. It's like a button on top of a menu. Doesnt flow well.22:02
dashuaOk22:02
* _MMA_ fires up gedit.22:02
dashuaLet me mess with that and the color.22:02
dashuaThe button should be an easy fix with roundness22:03
dashuamenu_item fixes the roundness issue22:05
dashuaMaybe 1 or 2?22:05
dashuawas 322:05
_MMA_Maybe: menubaritemstyle    = 122:06
dashuastyle "menu_item" {22:07
dashuaYeah, that does it.22:08
dashua1 and 2 look decent.22:08
_MMA_dashua: No. That should effect the hightlight over a menu option.22:08
dashua3 was too round.22:08
_MMA_We're talking about 2 different things.22:08
dashuaAh22:08
_MMA_Change line 96, then click on the menu in a app.22:09
dashuaI thought you were talking about the orange highlight on the menubar.22:09
_MMA_dashua: But I think changing those 2 settings actually look better.22:11
dashuaYeah, it does22:11
dashua"menu_item" roundness = 1 looks good with menubaritemstyle = 122:13
dashua_MMA_: http://picpaste.com/Screenshot-2.png22:21
* _MMA_ clicks22:24
_MMA_dashua: Yeah. Thats what I got here. I edited the file.22:25
dashuaKk22:25
_MMA_dashua: Hmm... I dont have the same amount of padding as you in the metacity. Much thinner. I think it's because of some Studio settings.22:26
dashuaI will work on the metacity a bit more.  That was something new for me.22:28
_MMA_np.22:28
* _MMA_ takes a break for a bit. (I got a headache)22:28
dashuaYeah, np22:29
mib_5ueehjhi, is there a list of current proposals, and maybe votes for current proposals of jaunty artwork?23:01
mib_5ueehjhow is it decided what the art will be?23:01
