| dashua | kwwii: Do you need any help with Karmic's theme or are things going to remain pretty much status quo until 10.04? | 00:42 |
|---|---|---|
| dashua | I'd be more than happy to hack around in my free time. :) | 00:42 |
| macvr | guys... has anyone seen this? http://pinstack.blogspot.com/2009/06/13-things-to-get-excited-for-in-ubuntu.html | 07:04 |
| macvr | there is a lot of hype about the new theme... which should be nipped in the bug... otherwise a lot of disappointed souls :( | 07:05 |
| macvr | the origin is mostly from Marks's comment that a new theme/color will be used in Karmic, which i dont think is gonna happen till karmic+1 | 07:06 |
| kwwii | macvr: although nobody said it directly it was understood that a new theme would come but there is not going to be a new theme for karmic | 07:11 |
| kwwii | we are working on the basis for new theming but we want to get it right | 07:12 |
| kwwii | so the planning took longer than expected | 07:12 |
| macvr | kwwii: actually , Mark has said there will be a new color they "might" use in karmic... i too have read this some where, but not able to find the link... but also mark has said on the wiki irc interview log that it might be karmic+1 , but this second change doesnt seem to have reached many... | 07:14 |
| macvr | kwwii: maybe you could blog about it? | 07:15 |
| macvr | let me see if i can search my history, for the links... :) | 07:16 |
| kwwii | macvr: well, mark said it would happen and then took that back in another post so it is confusing | 07:19 |
| kwwii | also, I have been working on a new theme myself...so maybe there will be something different in karmic but it will not be default | 07:20 |
| macvr | maybe someone cold clear it up :) , we dont want to disappoint anyone,do we ;P | 07:20 |
| macvr | could^ | 07:20 |
| macvr | oh! | 07:20 |
| macvr | kwwii: links for the theme? so that i could test it out? | 07:21 |
| kwwii | at this point it is little more than pictures | 07:22 |
| kwwii | but I have a good idea how I am going to make it | 07:22 |
| macvr | :) | 07:22 |
| darkmatter | as long as it's not wood grain we won't have to kill ya | 08:41 |
| thorwil | already: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website/KarmicCountdownBanners | 11:56 |
| SiDi | you didnt upload the svg ? | 12:07 |
| thorwil | SiDi: the guy who put up that page didn't think of adding the attachment. the text is just from last time. good thing you notice :) | 12:09 |
| SiDi | i see :D | 12:10 |
| * thorwil decides to quickly adjust the template | 12:13 | |
| thorwil | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website/KarmicCountdownBanners?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=countdown_09-10_template.svg | 12:26 |
| thorwil | hooray for cloned copies! | 12:26 |
| macvr | thorwil: so it was your banner they used for jaunty... i liked that one... was nice :) | 15:13 |
| thorwil | macvr: thanks :) the last 2, even | 15:40 |
| macvr | oh... i particular like the last one... it was a "kinda" futuristic design :) | 15:43 |
| thorwil | i already started to think about the next one. i wonder if i could pull off something with photography. though that is bound to be time consuming | 15:45 |
| macvr | i hope your energy is directed more towards a new background ... its used more than a 30 day banner | 15:46 |
| thorwil | yes, but the countdown banners are great fun and i have a very high chance of being picked again, totally unlike the background situation | 15:47 |
| macvr | :P | 15:47 |
| macvr | thorwil: http://files.getdropbox.com/u/1325768/Screenshot-4%20-%20File%20Browser.png <<<what is the icon label for the mime below? | 15:51 |
| macvr | i'm just not able to find it! | 15:52 |
| thorwil | macvr: no clue | 15:52 |
| macvr | thorwil: do you like that behavior? it is the mime which shows , during the wait time for the preview to load | 15:53 |
| macvr | i'm thinking of editing one for breathe | 15:53 |
| thorwil | macvr: i rarely get to see that. i think it's fine | 15:54 |
| macvr | me too... i had a tought ime getting that screenshot :P... but while videos are loading the preview it shows for a bit longer... so i feel the transparent appearance gives it a incomplete feel | 15:55 |
| macvr | tough^ | 15:55 |
| macvr | found it /usr/share/icons/gnome/.../status/gnome-fs-loading-icon :) | 16:13 |
| thorwil | :) | 16:14 |
| macvr | thorwil: have you seen madsRh's branding mail? doesnt it seem a bit too loud? | 18:05 |
| macvr | i thought of sending a comment about it , but didnt ... | 18:06 |
| thorwil | macvr: well, it's not exactly elegant to plaster ubuntu branding all over the place | 18:23 |
| macvr | thats true... but isnt the branding being considered or is it a proposal? also instead of the gnome logo ubuntu's logo wouldnt hurt...but what do you think is wrong with that card? | 18:25 |
| macvr | thorwil: i didnt like the dark blue, it kinda hurt my eyes :( , felt the blue from the gnome was more pleasant | 18:26 |
| thorwil | macvr: i didn't look that closely. sometimes i decide to just not care | 18:27 |
| macvr | :P | 18:27 |
| * macvr hopes thorwil cares a little bit more about ubuntu :P | 18:28 | |
| thorwil | macvr: pay me and i would ;p | 18:28 |
| macvr | i vote for thorwil being inducted into canonical | 18:29 |
| macvr | thorwil: i think SABDFL will pay more than me | 18:29 |
| macvr | :P | 18:29 |
| thorwil | macvr: already tried that route | 18:31 |
| macvr | thorwil: ah... well their loss :/ | 18:32 |
| SiDi | the cards dont need SPECIFIC branding | they just need to look decent enough for "end user" to dare clicking them :) | 18:40 |
| macvr | ^ +1 | 18:41 |
| macvr | SiDi: well as Scott pointed out... ayatana runs the show in a lot of things | 18:42 |
| SiDi | ayatana has grown so big in the past weeks that i can barely follow now | 18:46 |
| SiDi | ill try to cross-read that whole update-manager essay tonight and resume it in a wiki page | 18:46 |
| SiDi | (i hope noone did yet) | 18:47 |
| macvr | thorwil: inkscape question: i find that when copying between 2 svg images , if i open the svgs separately , i cannot copy paste among each other, but if i open the second svg from the menu of the first svg, i'm able to copy paste , is this the intended behavior or am i doing something wrong? | 18:49 |
| thorwil | macvr: inkscape is a little broken regarding copy-paste. i usually use Import | 18:50 |
| macvr | oh... ok... i'v never tried import, will try it... :) | 18:50 |
| macvr | thorwil: i totally forgot... did you check the 2nd version of the emblem unreadable...? i made it symmetrical , does it look better now? | 18:52 |
| thorwil | macvr: the angles in the 1st look better. so if could combine similar angles with symmetry, that would be best | 18:55 |
| macvr | yeah i like the first one too... | 18:56 |
| macvr | thorwil: both are symmetrical, you can cut them in any plane | 18:56 |
| macvr | i mean vertical and hori :P | 18:57 |
| thorwil | macvr: why did you imply it wasn't, then? | 18:59 |
| macvr | maybe you forgot... the first version i had done , i took it down , you said that the X didnt look symm , | 19:00 |
| macvr | thats y | 19:00 |
