ScorpKinghi everyone16:33
ScorpKingi need a custom picture for a usplash theme. can someone here help or maybe know where i can get help?16:35
_MMA_ScorpKing: A static pic or someone to implement a Usplash theme?16:37
ScorpKingi'll make the theme. just need the jpg16:37
_MMA_ScorpKing: Emailing the ML would be best as more people follow there.16:38
ScorpKing_MMA_: thanks16:39
swalkothorwil: hi19:34
thorwilhi swalko19:34
swalkothorwil: what are you saying about updated calc?19:35
thorwilswalko: i still think it would benefit from rounding the edges19:38
swalkothorwil: there are rounded edges19:39
thorwilswalko: on the large size, if you make the buttons a tad bigger, you might be able to get the numbers to be sharper19:39
swalkothorwil: i tried export in 1:1 size an resize with gimp19:40
swalkothorwil: there is big difference in sharpness19:40
swalkothorwil: export from inkscape is looking blurry19:40
swalkothorwil: export on 8x size and resize in gim is much sharper19:41
thorwilswalko: show me19:41
swalkothorwil: minute a do19:41
thorwilswalko: the frame around the LCD is a bit odd. is it meant to bulge outward?19:42
_MMA_swalko: In the end, we have to worry about what the Inkscape export looks like since that's how the set is generated.19:42
thorwilswalko: i would expect an opening in the case and a glass sitting below it, with a black frame printed on the glass. the lcd panel being the last layer19:43
thorwil_MMA_: i wouldn't rule out the ubuntu titling font, yet19:46
_MMA_thorwil: I'm not.19:48
swalkothorwil: http://picasaweb.google.com/milan.krivda/Breathe#530905119218750312219:50
thorwilswalko: the differences are almost entirely on the numbers19:52
swalkothorwil: for me that numbers look completely different19:52
swalkothorwil: diferences with diference mask are clearly visible19:53
_MMA_swalko: Are the numbers fonts or paths?19:53
swalkothorwil: fonts19:54
thorwildo we have to file a feature request for oversampling on export now? :/19:54
swalkothorwil: but19:54
swalkothorwil: it is still one same export form inkscape19:54
swalkothorwil: first 1:1 second 8:8 resized in gimp19:54
swalko8:119:54
swalkothorwil: not opened svg in gimp19:55
thorwiltoo bad there's no way i can do x8 with my backgrounds :)19:55
_MMA_swalko: You got an answer for me?19:55
swalkothorwil: sry i answered your answer to thorwil19:56
thorwil_MMA_: fonts19:56
swalko_MMA_: sry i answered your answer to thorwil19:56
_MMA_swalko: I would try to fonts->paths then export to bitmap.19:56
_MMA_(from inkscape)19:56
swalko_MMA_: diferences are not only on fonts19:59
swalko_MMA_: at example border around lcd is diferenced too20:00
thorwiltrue. but only the differences on the numbers are really obvious20:00
_MMA_swalko: I understand. You gotta make it all work through Inkscape.20:00
thorwilswalko: anyway, _MMA_ is not going to write a script that does x8 and resize ...20:01
swalko_MMA_: yes yes , all exported in inkscape20:01
_MMA_thorwil: "resize"?20:01
thorwil_MMA_: scale down20:02
swalkothorwil: i dont understand20:02
_MMA_thorwil: What would need to be scaled down if all the SVGs should be drawn to size?20:02
thorwilswalko: i mean that i highly doubt _MMA_ will extend the script to export in x8 size to then scale down using whatever20:03
_MMA_Ahh... :P No. Things should be drawn at the intended use size.20:03
thorwil_MMA_: sheesh, pay attention ;p20:03
_MMA_thorwil: I'm slow today man. Got alot going on here.20:04
swalkothorwil: i must used translator, because english isnt my native language. Yes frame around is bulged outward20:13
thorwilswalko: i think that's a rather unusual detail and against what one expects to see there20:15
swalkothorwil: i am not so brave to say what is one expects to see there20:18
swalkothorwil: in the world exist thousands of different calculator20:19
swalkocalculators20:19
_MMA_swalko: *You* are in control of that. If *you* like what you see that polish it up and call it done. :)20:19
_MMA_s/that/then20:19
knomewhich calc are we talking about?20:20
_MMA_knome: A calculator for the Breathe icon set.20:21
swalkothorwil: i wanted to know one thing, but you wasnt here yesterday20:21
swalkothorwil: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/BreatheIconSet/Discussion where may i find svg for generic/empty concepts ?20:21
_MMA_swalko: On the 1st page.20:22
thorwilswalko: i don't think there is one20:22
knome_MMA_, calculator *icon* ?:)20:22
_MMA_https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/BreatheIconSet20:22
_MMA_knome: yeah20:22
knomeok. where can i see curent progress? :)20:23
_MMA_swalko: And not that I mind thorwil answering questions, but since I'm the lead on Breathe you might wanna direct more questions to me. :)20:24
thorwiloh yeah20:24
_MMA_knome: The above link will lead you to all the info one would normally seek.20:24
thorwilbrb20:25
swalkothorwil: ok :) you wasnt here over weekend. and i talked with thorwil about more things20:25
knomenormally? ;)20:25
swalko_MMA_: ok :) you wasnt here over weekend. and i talked with thorwil about more things20:25
swalko_MMA_: we may talk now?20:26
knome_MMA_, can you say i'm normal? :P20:26
_MMA_knome: I don't know yet.20:26
* _MMA_ reserves judgment.20:26
_MMA_swalko: Sure.20:26
knome:]20:26
swalko_MMA_: is needed to set standard fonts that may be used in breathe set20:27
_MMA_swalko: I'm sorry. Can you try to re-word that question? I don't quite understand.20:28
_MMA_swalko: Note that the template is also linked at the top of the "Submissions" page.20:29
swalko_MMA_: is needed to choose right fonts and publish list with these font that may be used in icons for breathe icon set20:30
_MMA_swalko: I can only guess your question. Are you asking if we need a standard font to use on all Breathe Icons?20:31
swalko_MMA_: you mean it isnt needed?20:32
_MMA_Gotta love language barriers. :)20:33
_MMA_swalko: If you follow the mailing list, yo'll see we are trying to settle on a standard font. Yes. It's needed.20:33
swalko_MMA_: i subscribed only this weekend and not followed older mails, because in mailing list are a lot of new mails20:35
swalkodaily20:36
_MMA_This is a new topic started today.20:36
knome_MMA_, comic sans!20:36
_MMA_knome: And it's license is?20:36
swalko_MMA_: currently i am reading between work in inkscape, inkscape and xchat20:36
swalkoL)20:36
swalkopidgin20:37
knome_MMA_, who cares, let's rip it off and use it anyway ;)20:37
_MMA_swalko: I understand. Just know that if you're going to be involved with Breathe that's where most of the daily info will be.20:37
_MMA_knome: As I don't quite know you yet, and I take this pretty seriously, I'd like us to keep it that way on this subject.20:38
knomeok. sorry. :)20:39
swalko_MMA_: how is process for adopting icons int breathe set?20:39
_MMA_knome: np ;)20:39
swalko_MMA_: artists upload icons on wiki, what will be next?20:39
_MMA_swalko: I really don't understand the question.20:39
_MMA_Oh oh.20:39
swalko:-D20:39
_MMA_I got you. Yes. Uploading to the wiki or discussing ideas on the mailing list.20:40
_MMA_After Sebastien and I are happy (and there's no major outcry from the community) it goes in BZR. (our version control system)20:41
_MMA_swalko: The images on the wiki are linked to BZR. SO as new icons are added/updated so is the wiki.20:42
_MMA_There is also a PPA that currently has 1 release in it.20:42
swalko_MMA_: you are picking/choosing icons into bzr?20:44
_MMA_Yes. I am the one handling the technical side of things in hopes it frees others up to just create. I put together icons here and there when I can.20:45
swalko_MMA_: are you using jimmacs scripts for exporting icons from svg?20:48
_MMA_Not the same ones but they are based on the same idea.20:49
swalko_MMA_: use your scripts this idea? ... use text object named context/icon-name in plate layer for icon name identification?20:51
_MMA_Yes20:52
swalko_MMA_: i am trying now to write simple step by step guide for newbies how to use one canvas workflow20:52
_MMA_swalko: Just open the template and look at the object metadata.20:53
_MMA_swalko: All of my work including the build script is on Launchpad.20:53
swalko_MMA_: now i havent much time to study how scripts work i just use that now20:54
swalko_MMA_: content in my guide depend on that fact20:55
swalko_MMA_: i may try to finish the guide now and send you over mail to review20:55
_MMA_Like you, I don't have much time to review it. All an artist/n00b mush understand is how to run the script and where to place images so Inkscape properly exports them.20:57
_MMA_s/mush/must20:57
swalko_MMA_: i fully understand, but it taked little time20:59
swalko_MMA_: thats the reason why i am writing guide20:59
swalkothorwil: ping21:07
thorwilgood night!21:08
