thorwilkwwii, hi. seems we are now running into the wiki "surge protection" with the Backgrounds page08:28
thorwilkwwii, maybe you could talk with newz about that08:29
SiDihi thorwil08:30
thorwilhi SiDi08:30
SiDicouldnt we try to use some markup such as tables as fedora seems to do ?08:30
SiDitables with just a pic + the author's name in each cell08:30
SiDiwould be easier to read than this huge file08:30
thorwilSiDi, do you know how table markup looks like?08:31
thorwilit's terrible for editing08:31
SiDihm, true :p08:31
SiDihttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Karmic/Backgrounds#Coala%20del%20karma08:35
SiDiI like these ones08:35
thorwilis that the elephant skin texture in there?08:36
kwwiithorwil: hi08:37
kwwiithorwil: not sure what you mean08:37
SiDiI think the guy took some textures here n there yeh. But apart from that big logo, i like the overall aspect of the pic08:38
thorwilkwwii, it's an issue that arises if you have many images on a page. at some point, the wiki decides to show only some, but not all images08:38
thorwilkwwii, if you then try to see an image attachment or hi Reload imediately, you get a warning about the surge protection08:38
thorwilkwwii, and that you will get a longer timeout if you try to load right again08:39
kwwiithorwil: thanks for mentioning it...I'll find newz later today and see what I can do about it08:39
thorwilkwwii, good :)08:39
kwwiioh wait, I think he went home already08:39
kwwiibut anyway, I will take care of it ;)08:40
kwwiiI love the meditating koala, btw...nice stuff! We should talk to the author some more and see what we can get out of it08:40
kwwiithe netbook peeps liked it as well08:41
thorwilkwwii, in this case we is mainly you ;)08:41
thorwilkwwii, i'm happy to offer further guidance if and where needed, but the "we want to use that" must come from canonical08:42
thorwilit's one skilled guy and very open to suggestions08:43
kwwiithorwil: yeah, I intend on getting in touch with him soon. if nothing else, for the alpha it would be perfect08:51

macvrhi , anyone knows how to change the window background color of inkscape?19:19
thorwilmacvr, do you mean the canvas color?19:24
thorwilif so, that's in File -> Document Properties, Page tab, General section19:25
macvrthorwil: i meant the display? i have set the canvas to transparent but the display is white , which makes it difficult to assess the colors19:29
thorwilmacvr, with zero alpha, you see the always white background19:31
thorwilpush the alpha up to get the color you specified19:31
macvrthorwil: so i can change the color first and then i can change it back to 0 alpha?19:32
thorwilsure19:32
macvrthorwil: but that wont have any change in the picture i'm creating, right?19:33
thorwilmacvr, the alpha value does have an effect on exported raster images19:34
thorwilwith zero, you get fully transparent background. a png will have an alpha channel in this case19:34
thorwilwith 255 alpha, you get an export with solid color background19:35
macvrthorwil:damn,  so there is no way of having the checks similar to the ones used in gimp? during editing? the only problem is i have difficukty judging the colors correctly!19:35
macvrdifficulty^19:35
thorwilmacvr, i'm not aware of a way to get inkscape to draw a checkerboard. other than drawing it yourself19:37
macvrthorwil: oh... :( i think i just need to adjust! using gimp i got used to the checkers and the color selections... thanx anyway :)19:38
thorwilnp19:38
thorwili sometimes change the white to medium grey or black, depending on what i'm working on19:39
macvrthorwil: i think i'll do the same... but now... i'm trying to add the checker board to the layer below, lets see if that works19:40
