RPG_MasterThe Breathe Icons are beautiful!!!04:36
RPG_MasterThat is all.04:36
SiDiHi09:52
SiDihi thorwil16:43
thorwilhi SiDi16:43
SiDihow are you ?16:43
thorwili just learned that i have an SVG that kills Nautilus if i open the folder it is in16:43
SiDiNice :P16:44
thorwiland that inkscape will use the wrong gradients if you import stuff that has gradients with the same IDs16:44
* SiDi suggests you report a private security bug against Nautilus before any windows fanboy spy claims this is a "super virus" svg :p16:44
thorwilboom, half and hour if not more wasted instead of being prodcutive16:45
SiDiYou know, i've been wasting the last two weeks in debugging, if that can make you feel better, 1h30 isnt that much :D16:45
thorwilSiDi, what are you debugging?16:46
SiDiMy BitTorrent client16:47
SiDii'm happy, it received 2 pieces out of 2725 today (fast, isnt it ?)16:47
thorwilheh16:48
SiDihey dashua16:52
SiDiDo you still have the latest version of rust on your PC (the one posted on the ML) ? it's not on LP anymore and you didnt update it in gnome-look16:53
dashuaSiDi: bzr branch lp:~dashua/+junk/Karmic-Themes.  Moved it.17:44
SiDidashua, okey thanks17:46
dashuaShould be the latest version.  Two themes in that branch, but mostly similar17:46
dashuaNp :)17:47
SiDiAw, looks like is the one i already had17:57
SiDior my panel didnt get updated17:57
dashuaI didn't push that fix yet you discovered.18:05
SiDiwell, my theme didnt get updated18:10
SiDii'll see what it gives later and add it back18:10
SiDii hope i kept the mail i sent you :D18:10
dashuaI still have it.18:10
dashuaOh my.  That 15 minutes of Windows 7 was painful.  No easy way to go from beta - rc?20:39
SiDidashua, i respect your courage.20:41
ryanpriorSiDi: Do not confuse courage with foolery.20:42
ryanpriordashua: I trust you have learned your lesson. ;-)20:42
SiDiryanprior, :D20:42
dashuaHa, well I already had it this laptop since beta, but have not booted into in months.20:42
dashuaWanted to try a quick update to RC, no go.  So damn slow too.20:43
dashuaI guess I'm just spoiled.20:43
SiDidashua, the price to pay for daring !20:43
dashuaI can't live without my wobbly windows.  It's really become a part of me ;p20:44
* SiDi suicides.20:44
thorwilarg. audio skips when switching workspaces or opening/closing windows now20:44
SiDiTwice.20:44
dashuathorwil: Jaunty?20:45
thorwilyeah20:45
dashuaDamn, my experience has been pretty flawless since Alpha 3, but pulse was giving some trouble.20:45
thorwili already switched everything in sound prefs to alsa. do i have to rip out pulse audio, or something?20:45
SiDidashua, same20:45
SiDialphas were perfect20:45
SiDinow my max volume is much lower than under intrepid20:46
SiDiand yeh, i did remove pulse !20:46
dashuaI don't think you have to purge pulse just switch every over to alsa.20:46
SiDidashua, it was already set to alsa20:46
SiDiyet pulse was launching itself20:46
SiDiand i had no sound on my OS20:46
dashuaDamn20:46
ryanpriorthorwil: I'm going to be working on a CSS-based theme engine this summer but want to do a brainstorm / input session with artists in the community so that I have an idea going in of what themers need. Can you help me organize that?20:46
SiDii removed it (reinstalled a little after due to dependencies :x)20:47
SiDiim on xfce/alsa anyways20:47
SiDiryanprior, css 2.1 or 3 ?20:47
ryanpriorSiDi: neither precisely, because some web-centric css concepts don't really map to GUI windows and some GUI concepts aren't represented in CSS at present. I think it will be close to CSS3, though.20:48
SiDiokey :)20:48
thorwilryanprior, guess i might. but are you aware of Robert Staudingers gtk-css-engine?20:48
dashuaI'm convinced the only to way to get a modern decent theme is to either a) develop a completely new engine b) mix engines.20:48
dashuaI'm running out of ideas.20:48
SiDii was in fear that themers would have to use float:right everywhere for right-aligning blocks :D20:48
ryanpriorthorwil: I am, but I'm not writing an engine for gtk, so there's potential for a little more flexibility.20:49
SiDidashua, yeh after reading some gtkrc i noticed most of the stuff was actually about chosing the good engine option, thus we need new engines for really *new* UIs :/20:49
dashuaSiDi: I agree.20:49
thorwilryanprior, for qt?20:50
ryanpriorthorwil: Nope, not any engine that people are using much. It's called ecere and a basic version is available now, but this summer we're hoping to beef it up significantly and make it a more attractive platform.20:51
dashuaSiDi: http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/13038/screenshot_009_1PIg2m.png . Few mods, trying different bg colors20:51
SiDidashua, the windows 7 folder hurts my eyes too much20:52
SiDii cant see the theme20:52
SiDi:<20:52
dashuaHa, me too.  It's taking up 3 gig of space as well =/20:53
SiDiabout my point of view, i globally like it20:54
SiDithe metacity is sexy20:54
SiDibut i'd really like you to make a screenshot of this with a flat toolbar instead of gradient one :)20:54
ryanpriorI must say, breathe is gearing up to be pretty sexy, moreso than I thought early on. Confidence is gaining.20:55
dashuaAlright,  I will make another version.20:55
dashuaryanprior: Very much so.  I've been using it for quite some time.20:56
thorwilryanprior, the shortcomings of gtk i found so far are: lack of prelight on menus, no depressed state on entries (debatable), compound widgets like SpinButtons are handled like 2 widgets, so you can't draw a focus rectangle around the whole widget (without tricks, at least)20:56
SiDidashua, <320:57
thorwilryanprior, be sure to talk with dilomo (Anton Kerezov) and whoever else you can get a hold on, who managed to deliver a solid theme20:58
ryanpriorthorwil: What I'm hoping to do is build a list of shortcomings with other gui toolkits and facilitate some discussion on what best practices should be for gui building going forward. Should I post a request for comments to the mail list?21:00
thorwilryanprior, sure. consider to also target lists for gtk and kde/qt. maybe also windows and mac theming21:02
ryanpriorthorwil: ecere aims to be a cross-platform toolkit; themes should look the same across platforms.21:03
ryanpriorthorwil: Where can I find gtk and qt target lists?21:04
thorwilryanprior, gnome-themes-list@gnome.org21:06
thorwilperhaps the plain gtk list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list21:06
ryanpriorAh, I misread what you wrote. I thought you meant target lists as in targets for future development or something.21:07
ryanpriorYou mean to send my request for comments also to gtk- and qt-related lists.21:07
thorwilyeah21:07
* thorwil feels better after ripping pulse out of his system21:09
thorwilgood night!21:11
