=== fabsh_ is now known as fabsh [08:28] kwwii, hi. seems we are now running into the wiki "surge protection" with the Backgrounds page [08:29] kwwii, maybe you could talk with newz about that [08:30] hi thorwil [08:30] hi SiDi [08:30] couldnt we try to use some markup such as tables as fedora seems to do ? [08:30] tables with just a pic + the author's name in each cell [08:30] would be easier to read than this huge file [08:31] SiDi, do you know how table markup looks like? [08:31] it's terrible for editing [08:31] hm, true :p [08:35] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Karmic/Backgrounds#Coala%20del%20karma [08:35] I like these ones [08:36] is that the elephant skin texture in there? [08:37] thorwil: hi [08:37] thorwil: not sure what you mean [08:38] I think the guy took some textures here n there yeh. But apart from that big logo, i like the overall aspect of the pic [08:38] kwwii, 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 images [08:38] kwwii, if you then try to see an image attachment or hi Reload imediately, you get a warning about the surge protection [08:39] kwwii, and that you will get a longer timeout if you try to load right again [08:39] thorwil: thanks for mentioning it...I'll find newz later today and see what I can do about it [08:39] kwwii, good :) [08:39] oh wait, I think he went home already [08:40] but anyway, I will take care of it ;) [08:40] I love the meditating koala, btw...nice stuff! We should talk to the author some more and see what we can get out of it [08:41] the netbook peeps liked it as well [08:41] kwwii, in this case we is mainly you ;) [08:42] kwwii, i'm happy to offer further guidance if and where needed, but the "we want to use that" must come from canonical [08:43] it's one skilled guy and very open to suggestions [08:51] thorwil: yeah, I intend on getting in touch with him soon. if nothing else, for the alpha it would be perfect [10:59] oh, how cruel: http://doctormo.wordpress.com/2009/05/26/uds-where-did-all-the-coffee-go [11:35] hah [11:36] don't they serve coke? [14:38] http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/8951/capturew.png > vous saviez ca vous? [14:38] oops pardon [14:38] sorry * [14:58] lies! [14:59] cute background :) [15:00] zniavre_: how did you make that icon reflection on the lower left corner? [15:07] it's a rhythmbox plugin called desktop-art [15:07] background is with gnome-background pack (synaptic) [15:08] any inkscape pro around ? :] [15:09] I'd like to know if i can colour the start/end arrows of a line ? [15:10] SiDi, i don't think you can separately [15:11] aaaw [15:11] And is there a way to turn my arrow into paths that i can then colorize ? [15:11] not as separate paths [15:11] :P [15:12] And is there a way to get a sexy pink line+arrow at end whatever the method ? :D [15:12] sure! [15:13] path -> stroke to path [15:13] oh my [15:13] actually, just ungroup the stroke and the arrow [15:14] or ctrl+click the arrow [15:14] Yay \o/ [15:14] Thanks knome :D [15:14] i'll show you my blue pdf for my oral exam tomorrow, give me a min :P [15:15] hehe ok [15:34] Argh [15:35] when i render my image to pdf i lose a letter in one of the words x_x [15:36] render it using which program? inkscape? [15:37] Yeh [15:46] SiDi, is it for print? [15:46] no its for a screen :) [15:47] re-rendering all my svg's to pdf atm [17:06] knome : http://filebin.ca/xwybab [17:06] sexy blue :P [17:07] nice [17:07] a bit purpleish [17:08] "trackhttpd" [17:08] "bar" [17:08] it wont render well with a video projection but well :P [17:08] yeh, its because the reztorrent slide had "foo" :p [17:08] and of course, just to change a little, only my part of the work is done ^^ [17:10] have to go. see you later. [17:12] see you [19:19] hi , anyone knows how to change the window background color of inkscape? [19:24] macvr, do you mean the canvas color? [19:25] if so, that's in File -> Document Properties, Page tab, General section [19:29] thorwil: i meant the display? i have set the canvas to transparent but the display is white , which makes it difficult to assess the colors [19:31] macvr, with zero alpha, you see the always white background [19:31] push the alpha up to get the color you specified [19:32] thorwil: so i can change the color first and then i can change it back to 0 alpha? [19:32] sure [19:33] thorwil: but that wont have any change in the picture i'm creating, right? [19:34] macvr, the alpha value does have an effect on exported raster images [19:34] with zero, you get fully transparent background. a png will have an alpha channel in this case [19:35] with 255 alpha, you get an export with solid color background [19:35] thorwil: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] difficulty^ [19:37] macvr, i'm not aware of a way to get inkscape to draw a checkerboard. other than drawing it yourself [19:38] thorwil: oh... :( i think i just need to adjust! using gimp i got used to the checkers and the color selections... thanx anyway :) [19:38] np [19:39] i sometimes change the white to medium grey or black, depending on what i'm working on [19:40] thorwil: 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 works
