|---|---|---|
| knome | thorwil, if you order one of those (displays), will you order one for me as well ;) | 12:25 |
| knome | zniavre, does not look totally wrong. | 12:26 |
| knome | zniavre, i am bad with shadows, though. | 12:26 |
| thorwil | knome, sure. right after my world tour! | 12:44 |
| knome | :] | 12:44 |
| knome | but really, the resolution is quite lousy | 12:45 |

| knome | o.o | 13:21 |
| * MetalMusicAddict waves. | 18:39 | |
| * MetalMusicAddict is _MMA_ (from a different PC.) | 18:40 | |
| MetalMusicAddict | macvr: Why did you remove your color of "document-save"? I think green was better there. | 18:44 |
| macvr | i liked it too but , it was too similar to daniel's submission felt like cheating :P | 18:44 |
| macvr | MetalMusicAddict: ^ | 18:45 |
| MetalMusicAddict | Naa... That's what's needed sometimes. | 18:45 |
| macvr | MetalMusicAddict: also thought that someone might tell daniel himself to correct the color | 18:46 |
| MetalMusicAddict | Also note, I won't be able to reply to the list 'till tomorrow night or so. | 18:46 |
| macvr | np... | 18:46 |
| macvr | MetalMusicAddict: so should i add mine or , will someone tel daniel? | 18:46 |
| MetalMusicAddict | Well since you nixed it now, just drop a note on the list. | 18:47 |
| macvr | MetalMusicAddict: did u check the emblems, i tried to keep them simple since they will never be viewed full... how are they? | 18:47 |
| MetalMusicAddict | I really want to reply again to the thread about the spreadsheet mime. Nobody listened to my 1st post about setteling the look of the base mime 1st. | 18:48 |
| * MetalMusicAddict looks again | 18:48 | |
| MetalMusicAddict | macvr: Oh yeah. Are they from scratch? | 18:49 |
| macvr | yup, onlt for the downloads the world icon i copied off of the internet categories icon | 18:50 |
| macvr | only^ | 18:50 |
| MetalMusicAddict | Really? And you just started with SVGs? :) | 18:50 |
| macvr | MetalMusicAddict: come on, they are just simple lines... are they usable? or need any editing? | 18:51 |
| macvr | just started on 1 emblem then since i was on a roll , made 6! | 18:51 |
| MetalMusicAddict | You'de be surprised how many can't even do that. ;) | 18:52 |
| MetalMusicAddict | But yeah. I like 'em. Might need a little shine here and there. | 18:52 |
| MetalMusicAddict | I wanna see what Seb says. | 18:52 |
| macvr | MetalMusicAddict: like my initial submissions for nm-signals? | 18:52 |
| MetalMusicAddict | I think the "X" and "!" finishes are off from the others though. | 18:53 |
| macvr | MetalMusicAddict: hei x is me | 18:53 |
| MetalMusicAddict | They have this edge shine that looks to be missing from the others. (I'd get rid of it) | 18:53 |
| thorwil | macvr, i think the favorite star should be symmetrical. or have a clear perspective | 18:53 |
| MetalMusicAddict | But I like the odd shape to the arrows. | 18:54 |
| thorwil | macvr, for downloads, try to put the globe in front and/or make it larger | 18:54 |
| MetalMusicAddict | thorwil: Really? Strait-on? I thought the perspective worked. Kinda quirky. | 18:54 |
| macvr | MetalMusicAddict: i had a tough time with x , i made that 1 fully, but ! i copied the lines and tried to remake from mail-important | 18:55 |
| thorwil | MetalMusicAddict, yes, quirky. is Breathe quirky? | 18:55 |
| MetalMusicAddict | thorwil: Well we don't have to be *SO* serious.:) | 18:56 |
| macvr | thorwil: i wanted to have the perspective, atleast let the fav have its perspective , MetalMusicAddict wont let the folders ! | 18:56 |
| MetalMusicAddict | But I could take it or leave it. | 18:56 |
| macvr | thorwil: i tried to put the globe ahead, but didnt look that good :( | 18:57 |
| MetalMusicAddict | macvr: huh? What about the folders? | 18:57 |
| macvr | MetalMusicAddict: perspective.. :P | 18:57 |
| MetalMusicAddict | Well as long as it hits the design points I'm open. ;) | 18:58 |
| thorwil | the X strokes end with non 90 degree angles | 18:58 |
| macvr | thorwil: also when it goes smaller there is a problem with the circle shape of the globe , hence i'v hid it in the 16px.. | 18:58 |
| macvr | thorwil: that was purposeful | 18:59 |
| macvr | x | 18:59 |
| thorwil | well, i hope if i cut that X in halves and flip one to compare them, they will match ;) | 19:00 |
| macvr | thorwil: since i had the X not at as the tilted + , it created a weird effect! since i'm new i found this the best i could get, but if u can better it.. go ahead | 19:00 |
| macvr | they wont :P | 19:01 |
| MetalMusicAddict | macvr: As for the network icons, I really have to give more thought to it. I think I need to create a page for all of it. Listing where these all could be used. I have it on my list but I traveled back home this weekend (300 miles) to see my family so I can't get to it 'till next week. | 19:01 |
| thorwil | macvr, i think synchronized is too close to some reload icons. plain ends on the arrows would move it away a bit | 19:02 |
| macvr | MetalMusicAddict: did u check dashua's screenshot>> http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/15709/screenshot_HP9X2C.png < u can view the nm -icons in action | 19:03 |
| thorwil | macvr, i can guide you through how to make sure things are symmetrical, but i will for sure not check each submission | 19:03 |
| MetalMusicAddict | macvr: Yes I did. Slick. But like I said, I want to see more submissions before I make any switch. | 19:04 |
| macvr | thorwil: will try the sync with plain ends but , tried this since i didnt want to do the same way it is always done... | 19:05 |
| macvr | MetalMusicAddict: no problem , just wanted u to check it out.. :) | 19:05 |
| MetalMusicAddict | macvr: Keep the current submission up when you put up the edit with thorwils suggestions. | 19:06 |
| macvr | ok | 19:06 |
| SiDi | macvr, what do you think the battery icons are ? big cheating from me :) the original one is what holds 97% of the work, and i didnt do it ^^ | 19:07 |
| macvr | MetalMusicAddict: why do all the actions have light from below? why not maintain the lights everywhere? | 19:07 |
| SiDi | actually for the arrow icons having bottom light | 19:08 |
| macvr | SiDi: :P ... well then i'll just add them to spite daniel :P | 19:08 |
| SiDi | i whined about it too, and i think seb too | 19:08 |
| MetalMusicAddict | macvr: Talk to daniel about that. He's done them. | 19:08 |
| SiDi | but it was forgotten amongst the big feedback and once the bottom light icons were polished it was a bit late | 19:08 |
| macvr | MetalMusicAddict: he said that u shot him down! | 19:08 |
| MetalMusicAddict | macvr: Id have to look back. You gotta remember, you guys work on specific areas where I have to see things as a whole. Sometimes, past chats are forgotten. | 19:09 |
| MetalMusicAddict | Lots to remember. :P | 19:10 |
| SiDi | :p | 19:10 |
| SiDi | the work part of artwork :p | 19:10 |
| MetalMusicAddict | macvr: But you keep it in mind and bring it up next week. We'll revisit it then. | 19:10 |
| macvr | MetalMusicAddict: np... but check the light for the icons before proposing to replace human... i think the lights are very inconsistent.. | 19:10 |
| macvr | ok.. | 19:11 |
| MetalMusicAddict | macvr: Remember this is a process. So sometimes I'll let things in that are *almost* there to refine later. | 19:11 |
| MetalMusicAddict | macvr: If I got hung up on everything to be 100%, we'd have like 10 icons. :P | 19:12 |
| macvr | MetalMusicAddict: np...i understand...i'll remind u later... but there is a mail in the list "lighting effect of actions"... incase i forget too :P | 19:13 |
| MetalMusicAddict | Sure. I just can't get to it (my list email) from here. | 19:13 |
| MetalMusicAddict | But I'm reading the web archive. | 19:13 |
| macvr | thorwil: got sidetracked... symmetry ? how i did the x was , i made a rectangle , duplicated it and flipped it... but when something didnt look good i adjusted it... | 19:22 |
| thorwil | macvr, well, you can see things like such non-straight angles in typography sometimes | 19:28 |
| thorwil | macvr, anyway, you should make sure that things are either clearly symmetrical, or obviously not at all. "almost" is bad, as it nags the viewer | 19:29 |
| macvr | thorwil: the problem i had was , i didnt want the X arms to be symmetrical! so i ended up having to adjust the edjes | 19:29 |
| macvr | i didnt want the arms to point to the corners, hence i had the problems! | 19:30 |
| thorwil | macvr, do you mean vertcial or horizontal symmetry now? | 19:30 |
| macvr | i think the horizontal doesnt have much prob, but it more the vertical plane | 19:32 |
| thorwil | macvr, to me it looks like the X is meant to be symmetrcial on both axes. if it is not, it should be more pronounced | 19:33 |
| thorwil | macvr, you could study the letter X in various fonts to see some approaches | 19:34 |
| macvr | ok... i'll have to be more careful, what i adjust :) i think i accidentally adjusted a wrong line and had to adjust the rest :( using the laptop to draw is tough! | 19:35 |
| macvr | i think mouse would have been better.! | 19:35 |
| thorwil | ouch, yeah :) | 19:35 |
| macvr | usin the tap to lock and drag just makes it tough to release :( , sometimes i'll have to try several times to just get it to the right px! | 19:36 |
| thorwil | macvr, if you have shape you need to tweak and later on need the other halve of it to be symmetrical ... | 19:37 |
| macvr | thorwil: i think that where i went wrong, i didnt make the same changes on either sides! | 19:37 |
| macvr | thats^ | 19:37 |
| thorwil | it's best to delete the halve of it, copy the remaining, flip it and use the arrange tools to place it exactly on the cut | 19:38 |
| thorwil | in this case, you do have nodes exactly on the axis of symmetry | 19:38 |
| macvr | thorwil: how do i erase? or delete part of the image? | 19:38 |
| thorwil | macvr, with bezier tool, drag select all nodes on the bad side and hit delete key | 19:39 |
| macvr | thorwil: oh... thats the only option :( an eraser like the one in GIMP would be wonderful | 19:40 |
| thorwil | macvr, then select the nodes on the open side and make the segment straight (horizontal toolbar) | 19:40 |
| thorwil | macvr, no, the other option is to use a rectangle | 19:40 |
| macvr | horizontal toolbar? what is that? | 19:41 |
| thorwil | make it cover the part you don't want anymore, select both, hit ctrl-shift-minus (substract, also in the menus) | 19:41 |
| thorwil | macvr, are you on inkscape 0.46? | 19:42 |
| macvr | s | 19:42 |
| macvr | u mean the one on the top? | 19:42 |
| thorwil | yes | 19:42 |
| macvr | ok.. | 19:42 |
| macvr | unrelated... what is glyph meaning? | 19:43 |
| macvr | thorwil: ^ | 19:44 |
| thorwil | just another term similar to sign, symbol, character | 19:44 |
| macvr | ok... hear it sometimes in the mailing list, google didnt give a better reply... so was wondering | 19:45 |
| macvr | thorwil: also, will the object combine when it is flipped ? | 19:46 |
| thorwil | macvr, not automatically. use the arrage tools to place the half exactly on the cut line. then select both halves and do Path -> Union | 19:48 |
| macvr | thorwil: ok...thank you... ill see how i can improve that X icon... :) | 19:48 |
| thorwil | you might want to play with 2 objects and the Align and Distribute tools a bit to see what each one does | 19:49 |
| SiDi | Anyone living in dublin with a room/flat i could rent for this summer, by chance ? :P | 19:49 |
| macvr | i havent used them untill now , but will play soon... | 19:49 |
| macvr | thorwil: ^ | 19:49 |
| thorwil | good :) | 19:50 |
| macvr | thorwil: thankx for the tips... :) | 19:50 |
| thorwil | np | 19:50 |
