ryanpriorLordMetroid: mind you, it's not the artwork that is being done for Ubuntu Main. Canonical does that. We post and discuss community contributions peripheral to the main artwork.00:01
LordMetroidYes, I figured so much. Canonical did bring in the main wallpaper though from the community for 9.04 if I remember the mail correctly00:01
LordMetroidI am using wallpaper the community produced which I think is far superior than the rather bland default00:02

thorwilhi!15:22
robstahi thorwil15:25
thorwilrobsta, hi. writing email15:31
thorwilkwwii, shall we keep you in CC for css-engine related mail?15:34
thorwilrobsta, there are 2 cases of graphical patterns in pioneer.svg now15:35
thorwilrobsta, for ToggleButton Inconsistent (striped) and for the VScale slider (2x checker)15:36
thorwilthese shouldn't be stretched15:36
thorwilrobsta, any idea how that can be handled?15:37
robstathorwil: hmm15:40
robstanot sure i understand15:41
robstathorwil: as long as librsvg can render it we should be able to use it15:42
thorwilrobsta, take the togglebutton. the plain buttons have a simple gradient that can be stretched for any size. the striped togglebutton requires a pattern-fill. the 2 px broad stroke, followed by 2px gap should remain 2 and 2 px15:43
robstaoh, i see what you mean15:43
robstawe can use background-repeat15:43
thorwilrobsta, do we need a new plate with a single pattern-element on it?15:44
robstabut i have to think how this works with the plates15:44
thorwilheh15:44
thorwilrobsta, the assumption of light straight from above makes these things simpler. ideally, it should be possible to use a pattern with an angled fill. meaning that you can't just use one element, but have to handle geometry and fill separately15:46
thorwilwell, simple case first :)15:47
robstathorwil: i have no idea what you mean15:47
robstawhat angle?15:47
thorwilrobsta, rotation of the gradient. meaning a gradient that is anything but exactly horizontal or vertical15:48
robstathorwil: unless we get support for css transforms we have to keep background tiles vertically/horizontally aligned15:49
thorwilrobsta, if you look at the checker pattern on the slider, it can't be stretched, it must be repeated to fill an area. but at the same time, if it has a gradient fill, the fill does need to be stretched15:51
robstathorwil: you mean compositing of the background?15:54
robstae.g. a tiled checker pattern on top of a gradient?15:55
thorwilas mask on a gradient, you could say15:55
robstathorwil: mask?15:57
thorwilrobsta, alpha mask15:57
robstathorwil: not sure anything but a plain "combine" can be done in css15:58
robstaanyway, currently only a single bg image is supported by the css library15:58
thorwilrobsta, could you take geomtry from the file, duplicate it to fill an area and then give it a single gradient fill?15:59
robstathorwil: what we could do (after substantial improvements) is drawing arbitrary background-images on top of each other16:01
robstae.g. first the background gradient (vertical gradient) with "repeat-x"16:02
robstathen the checker pattern on top16:02
robstatiled, so it repeats in x and y direction16:02
robstawould that work?16:03
thorwilthe checker pattern would have to have a single color, then. better than nothing, but not good16:03
robstawhy? it can be an arbitrary image16:03
thorwilbecause the geometry needs to be tiled, but the gradient fill (if one is involved) needs to be stretched16:04
robstayou would have 2 different background-images16:05
robstaon different plates16:05
robstaone is the gradient, the other the checker patter16:05
robstan16:05
thorwilrobsta, what i would want is a gradient fill as base, plus a pattern with its own gradient fill on top ...16:06
robstayes, that is (theoretically, in the css3 spec) possible16:07
robstathorwil: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-background/#layering16:08
thorwilrobsta, shall we make that a wishlist item and go with tiling in one direction, fill and geometry at once for now?16:08
robstathorwil: yes16:08
SiDiMay I ask what you guys are preparing ? :)16:09
robstaSiDi: we want to prove people who say gtk theming sucks wrong16:09
thorwilusing css and svg16:10
SiDiwriting a new engine ? :D16:10
robstacss svg and our awesomeness of course16:10
SiDiWell, i'll morally support you then :)16:10
robstaa new engine is part of what we are doing16:11
robstathorwil: the problem is that the css parsing library doesn't support those css3 constructs16:11
robstathorwil: but i want to write my own css parser anyway, inside libccss16:12
robstajust that days only have 24h in my timezone :/16:13
thorwilyeah16:13
thorwilneed more hours and/or more people (well aware of overhead)16:15
* SiDi doesn't have spare time. Neither awesomeness16:15
* thorwil wonders how SiDi manages to hang out here with no spare time16:15
SiDiIRC is my distraction, thorwil :)16:16
SiDicurrently working on my next exam + writing a project report16:16
SiDibut i need frequent breaks16:16
robstathorwil: maybe we can keep the current plates and use "-moz-image-region" to specify the tile16:22
robstafor the striped buttons at least16:22
kwwiithorwil: yes, please, if it is not too much trouble16:49
* thorwil throws wildcards at kwwii for still not being subscribed to all of Artwork on the wiki20:40
dashuaSiDi: Another hack pushed to bzr ;)21:56
SiDi:)21:56
SiDibtw, got the xfwm ?21:56
dashuaThat pixel bug you're talking about?21:57
dashuaI didn't get a chance to look at it.21:57
SiDino thats anyways a xfce bug heh21:57
SiDinot specific to your theme21:57
SiDihttp://www.2nt.free.fr/host/tmp/HansoXfwm.tar.gz21:58
SiDithat :p21:58
dashuaOh nice21:59
SiDidone with photoshop though :X22:06
SiDii needed to do it quick to get a dark xfwm :p22:06
dashuaMoving to opensource tools?22:06
dashuaI don't have photoshop22:07
ryanpriorIf anybody is interested in helping the ubuntu game development team create artwork for games, holla.22:07
dashuahttp://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/13501/screenshot_025_O77Wht.png22:10
dashuaNeeds a little love.  I prefer dark, but it seems most people do not.22:10
SiDidamn i disabled images in firefox due to bandwidth22:11
SiDiand mibbit puts mini images instead of URIs to images T_T22:11
SiDican you write it with a space in the name please dashua ? :P22:11
SiDidashua: i'm using inkscape, learning little by little. I use it for graphics in my reports atm22:11

knomeDaviey, the problem with dark themes is also that if there is lots of quite similar dark tones, many people can't see the difference their monitor or eyes23:05
knomedashua, ^23:05
SiDidashua: btw, which color is used for the toolbars (the ones with file / edit / display) ? I can't get them to the same colour than the window borders23:07
dashuaSiDi: The menubar?23:13
dashuaOn which theme?23:13
dashua#20202023:14
SiDiHanso23:14
dashuaoh23:14
SiDiIt seems its a mix of the primary colors23:14
SiDicause i changed them and it didnt have much effect23:14
SiDi(or i did something wrong :p)23:14
dashua#231D1323:14
SiDiwee :D23:15
dashuaFile > Edit > Search > View, etc.  That's the menubar23:15
dashuaCool23:15
dashuaHanso is still my favorite out of the Karmic-Themes23:16
dashua4 weeks and I'm still using it.  Record here.23:17
SiDiIts a fork of Rust, right ?23:17
dashuaYeah, sort of23:17
SiDiyah they usually move fast here too, but i feel this one'll stay23:17
knomeSiDi, wait for the official xubuntu theme ;)23:17
dashuaXubuntu is blue, right?23:18
knome...maybe.23:18
knomewe/i don't know yet.23:18
SiDidashua: though the scrollbar is quite tiny, and thus the arrow part doesnt look great here23:19
SiDii'd love to see a fork of dust 0.3's scrollbars, in a darker color23:19
SiDiwell, dark bar and light bar background, cause it also breaks the layout of GUIs with a scrollbar in the middle23:20
SiDidue to the color contrast23:20
dashuaI'm working on new scrollbars for Dust.  Kido wanted a lighter version of the Hanso scrollbars.23:20
dashuaHe reverted back to .3's23:20
SiDithese were awesome though :)23:20
SiDireally one of my favourite things on dust23:21
dashuaThe new series is all murrine based23:21
dashua.423:21
savvasnow make an dedust-ubuntu map for counter strike and that's it! :P23:32
SiDiand terrorists work at MS ?23:33
SiDiand counter are the guys of the MOTU Team ?23:33
savvasnow that would be a nice game haha23:34
savvasimagine the players to be ninjas throwing "ubuntu" stars :P23:34
savvasI mean those 3-bladed knives, or whatever they're called23:35
SiDishurikens23:35
SiDininja stars are the 8 side ones afair23:35
savvaswell we'll have our own ubuntu ones :P23:36
dashuaSiDi: http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/13502/ screenshot_026_GaR40N.png23:36
dashua?23:36
SiDidashua: sorry but i dont think it fits the theme :)23:37
dashuaToo light?23:37
SiDiHanso is a smooth theme, this is a "metallic" scrollbar. I'd more see this in the theme which pic you saw me earlier23:38
SiDitoo "squared"23:38
SiDiit doesnt fit with the roundness of the theme and the smoothness of the colors23:38
dashuaLighter scrollbar and darker through you think?23:39
SiDiyeh23:39
SiDinot thiner though :p23:39
SiDimore discrete23:39
dashuaOk23:40
dashuaI'm wondering if I should stay with the pixmap engine for the scrollbars? It's just so much faster when scrolling.23:42
dashuaThan the engines scrollbars itself.23:43
SiDidunno ^^23:44
dashuaI can make a round scrollbar with murrine, its just slow.23:45
SiDiwhat if you do it with the pixmap engine then ?23:47
SiDii really don't know much about engines23:47
dashuaYeah, I will probably stay with the pixma engine for the scrollbars.23:55
dashuaMurrine is for everything else.23:55
