| Viper550 | it was either Gutsy or Hardy... | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Viper550 | however my dad demended Windows back when he discovered that the IM clients (I tried Kopete AND Pidgin) didn't seem to support the Yahoo/WLM interop. | 00:00 |
| Viper550 | nm it was Gutsy | 00:02 |
| Viper550 | yeah it was gutsy, but anyway | 00:07 |
| Viper550 | so the direction for Karmic | 01:32 |
| AnAnt | Hello, are there any themes for GDM 2.26 ? | 06:45 |
| thorwil | morning! | 08:36 |
| SiDi | heya | 08:37 |
| SiDi | what's up ? | 08:37 |
| thorwil | macvr, you shouldn't count on that crude perspective thing in inkscape | 08:37 |
| SiDi | macvr, you should consider not using custom fonts when sending your emails to a list :] it doesnt look sexy at all | 08:37 |
| thorwil | macvr, you could use the 3d box tool as guide, but ideally you should know hot to draw/construct in perspective manually. do you know about vanishing point perspective, or shall i give you 1 or 2 links? | 08:38 |
| thorwil | just in case: http://drawsketch.about.com/library/weekly/aa021603a.htm | 08:45 |
| thorwil | http://www.khulsey.com/student.html | 08:45 |
| macvr | thorwil: i understand the vanishing points... but the links are useful too... actually i was trying to alter Andrew's folder... didnt want to restart from scratch as i'm toooooo lazy to do that :P | 09:34 |
| SiDi | my preference goes to a "2D" folder | 09:34 |
| macvr | SiDi: thats yahoo.. not me...! i sent that mail from yahoo, since i had to dig it out from the older mails | 09:34 |
| SiDi | it looks much more symetric when you have a lot of folders | 09:34 |
| SiDi | macvr, go for a good mail client, or mail.google.com :] | 09:35 |
| macvr | SiDi: u are too old style | 09:35 |
| thorwil | hardly | 09:35 |
| macvr | SiDi: i use thunderbird , but this was an old mail, hence | 09:35 |
| macvr | thorwil: yes he is, just for the folders! | 09:35 |
| macvr | SiDi: i have nearly 10 mail ids! i use this yahoo for mailing lists , since it allows several disposable address in case i get spammed! | 09:37 |
| SiDi | i have many addresses too | 09:37 |
| thorwil | i wonder how that can be worth the effort | 09:38 |
| SiDi | i just didnt check most for 5+ years | 09:38 |
| macvr | i use thnderbird.. for keeping them active :P | 09:38 |
| macvr | thorwil: i just hogged the mail id from several top mail sites, so that i can use my name as the id , rather than _ _ _ 2k@ /14324 stuff :P | 09:39 |
| macvr | thorwil: any feedback about the smileys? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/BreatheIconSet/Submissions | 09:42 |
| thorwil | macvr, the 48px sizes seem to have better proportions than the big ones | 09:45 |
| thorwil | macvr, you should try to tweak the upper curve of the big smile to minimize the jaggedness | 09:45 |
| macvr | all or any one in particular? | 09:46 |
| thorwil | all | 09:46 |
| thorwil | macvr, the closed mouth lines could do with very subtle gradients | 09:46 |
| macvr | thorwil: that i tried... :( but then i would have had to go more than 1px and it didnt look good | 09:46 |
| macvr | ^upperlip | 09:47 |
| macvr | thorwil: which sizes are more frequently used? | 09:47 |
| macvr | smileys and for the folders? | 09:47 |
| thorwil | no clue for smilies | 09:48 |
| macvr | folders? | 09:48 |
| thorwil | for folders i guess 48 and 22 | 09:49 |
| macvr | ok... | 09:49 |
| thorwil | well, just take a screenshot of nautilus and check to be sure | 09:49 |
| macvr | never thought of that^ :) | 09:50 |
| thorwil | macvr, the smallest of smile-big looks like a different emotion | 09:50 |
| macvr | i'll see if i can correct that | 09:51 |
| thorwil | macvr, try a reflected linear gradient on smile-big teeth, white in center, very bright warm-grey to the sides | 09:51 |
| macvr | in all sizes? | 09:52 |
| macvr | thorwil: u could have given this idea yday :/ | 09:52 |
| macvr | :P | 09:52 |
| thorwil | macvr, maybe only down to including 32 | 09:53 |
| macvr | thorwil: http://imagebin.ca/popup/rsFVlgBW.html | 09:58 |
| thorwil | macvr, a bit less. but even so, i think it's an improvement | 09:59 |
| macvr | nothing seems possible for that upperline :(, the curve is the prob! will try with a straighter curver | 10:00 |
| macvr | curve | 10:00 |
| thorwil | macvr, though, you have to decide if the smilies shall look like printed on a slightly convex surface, or if you want it to appear like the surface itself is modeled to support the emotion | 10:01 |
| macvr | thorwil: ^i didnt understand | 10:03 |
| thorwil | macvr, either a print on always the same round object, or similar objects that are shaped, where the "facial" features are not flat | 10:04 |
| macvr | if i understood u right...> i'm not trying to make the whole smiley as a curve, but only the edges are supposed to be curved, like the button pins ,but he smiley surface is flat. | 10:07 |
| macvr | thorwil: ^ | 10:07 |
| macvr | thorwil: http://imagebin.ca/popup/QRmTvys.html , adjusted the upper line...also how is the 16 px now? | 10:09 |
| thorwil | macvr, i hardly notice a difference on the small one | 10:16 |
| thorwil | the problem is that the upper lip appears to be horizontal, no curve | 10:16 |
| macvr | compare to the submissions page, both the imagebin pics are edits | 10:17 |
| macvr | thorwil: u want the curve for the 16px too? | 10:17 |
| thorwil | macvr, yes, if you can make it fit in | 10:18 |
| macvr | that i'm not sure is going to be posible :( | 10:18 |
| macvr | at that scale getting so many curves was tough | 10:19 |
| SiDi | macvr, you should read about indicator-applet ;) | 15:43 |
| SiDi | thunderbird will likely use indicator-applet asa someone patches it. it shouldnt use notify-osd as the biggest part of canonical's effort has been to prevent apps from using it for such information | 15:43 |
| macvr | SiDi: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD/Compatibility-Post904 ... notify-osd includes thunderbird. also i do know that the patch is what they are waiting for but when do they expect it was my question? links for the indicator applet? | 18:11 |
| macvr | SiDi: also i'v read the notify-osd too many times ... but not able to find the indicator applet wiki | 18:13 |
| SiDi | i dont think there is a page for indicator-applet yet | 18:18 |
| macvr | SiDi: then how do i read about it :P ... | 18:23 |
| macvr | SiDi: this was what i found a long time ago >https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MessagingMenu/ < but it has no mention about thunderbird... | 18:24 |
| macvr | SiDi: also what did u think they had the email icon in the notify-osd for? :P | 18:25 |
