_MMA_macvr: Dude. I'm diggin' nm-signal-100 v.3.16:43
macvr_MMA_: :) finally !16:43
_MMA_I like that fat little bottom piece.16:43
_MMA_haha. :P16:43
_MMA_We'll see about the shadow as some will complain. But it's a minor quibble.16:44
macvryeah i thought of the bottom, made no sense in having the antennae , when it is not going to be clear16:44
macvr_MMA_: what shadow?16:45
macvrthe black? bottom line?16:45
_MMA_The ground one.16:45
macvrif people dont like it , we can remove it16:45
_MMA_macvr: I'll make you a deal. You get the base set done, with 1 round of comments and maybe edits to address issues I'll make sure these hit the .5 release that goes into the archive.16:47
macvrthis is a beter icon than the first version. it has better padding.16:47
macvr_MMA_: ok... DEAL :)16:47
_MMA_macvr: I want you to play with how the signal strength is displayed though. One idea I had was to start with your green color and go up in opacity or just the strength of green.16:49
_MMA_ie:16:49
_MMA_Start with 25% green, then 50, 70 and then 100.16:49
_MMA_Something like that.16:49
macvrthat wont be clear... it will just become semi-transparent ... i dont think it would look good16:50
_MMA_Im not explaining it right. Ill grab yours and show you.16:51
macvrok16:51
_MMA_Damn. This thing is complex.16:54
macvr;p16:55
_MMA_macvr: Basically, if the final arc is 100% green it would descend from there 'till it looked like your nm-signal-75 does at the top. Kinda flipped.16:56
_MMA_But instead of all green or all gray, it would be % of green.16:56
_MMA_I know that still sounds odd.16:56
Cimiblue is better16:57
Cimiimho16:57
macvryou mean shades of green? dark green 100%, light green 50%?16:57
Cimibecause red/green is usually recognized for temp (cpu temp) or errors16:58
Cimiblue remembers air, sky (wifi)16:58
_MMA_macvr: Shades! Damn. I need some rest. :P In the end, it's just an idea. If you got that base 5 done with a similar motif to what you have, that would be fine.16:58
macvr_MMA_: but doing it in shades will not be very easy visual indicator.... another factor is , finding the right shade of green for different panel colors ,dark shade would not be visible in dark panels17:00
macvrand so on17:00
_MMA_macvr: Don't worry too much about it (just keep it in mind) as we can't plan for every use case.17:01
macvr_MMA_: i'll try it though...  i'll see how it works17:02
_MMA_Sure. If it's trouble, forget about it. No use on spending too much time on something that doesn't work.17:03
macvryup17:03
macvrCimi: well blue is used right now... so wanted to try something different... but maybe for version 2.0 of breathe we could go back to blue :)17:04
_MMA_macvr: For now, I'm gonna nix the ones there currently. I'm doing a bit of cleanup. Post to the list once you have the 5 of them done. Give a nice shot of the 5 of them together.17:04
_MMA_Green/blue. I'm not chuffed either way. Though Cimi has a point.17:05
macvr_MMA_: ok... just dont remove the attachments17:05
_MMA_np17:05
_MMA_macvr: You clean them up once we're final.17:05
macvrsure17:05
macvrnp17:05
SiDimacvr: kudos on v317:07
SiDii like that shape17:07
macvrSiDi: thanx :)17:07
macvrSiDi: _MMA_ : actually i had done that shape a long time ago, but got tied up with emblems and only now i got to it17:08
macvralso smileys!17:08
macvrwell... i'll upload the set tomorrow :)17:09
_MMA_Cleaned up to reflect new uploads. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/BreatheIconSet/Submissions17:10
_MMA_macvr: We're going to freeze this weekend to prep for the .50 release. Which I hope to get out July 6th.17:11
_MMA_We're going to have a mass review and some testing.17:11
macvr_MMA_: i got tied up in papercuts ! that thing is a huge mess! but definitely by tomorrow this time it is sure to be done... or it that too late ?17:13
_MMA_Naa, naa. Plenty of time. As long as I get it by, say Tuesday I'll upload.17:13
macvrOk... :)17:14
_MMA_Things I know for sure won't need any review/fixes/whatever (usually Sebastien's submissions) I'll usually make an exception for.17:14
macvr_MMA_: whats the problem with emblem-important?17:16
macvr_MMA_: also, is this shape ok for emblem-default> http://files.getdropbox.com/u/1325768/emblem-default1.png17:17
macvrI'v done only for the 128,48px , but just to check17:18
_MMA_Not feelin' that.17:18
_MMA_emblem-important I guess is fine.17:18
* _MMA_ looks again.17:18
_MMA_macvr: I think the fact that is has a shine on it that accentuates the edge where the others don't is my issue.17:19
_MMA_macvr: Little inconsistencies like that are why we're having the review.17:20
macvryou dont want the shine?17:20
macvri can remove it17:21
macvr_MMA_: i also wanted to ask... am i doing the labelling right ? within the layers? or are you to do it all over again?17:21
_MMA_No. As it's a touch alot of the others don't have. And If I've uploaded anything that does, we'll have to fix.17:21
macvrok , i'll remove the shine17:21
_MMA_macvr: It's been correct so far. folder/icon_name should be correct. Every once in a while there's a hickup. Everyone does it. It's ok.17:22
macvr:)17:22
macvr_MMA_: the emblem-default.. check mark like the one Daniel has done? is that ok?17:24
macvrDaniel's >apps/checkbox17:25
_MMA_macvr: That's 1 thing artists need to keep a sharp eye on. When tackling a subset of the whole. Consistency. Shadows, shine, line width. Stuff like that.17:26
_MMA_Lemmie look up his icon.17:26
_MMA_Hmm... I'm unsure where it is.17:27
macvrhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/BreatheIconSet/Submissions?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=checkbox.png17:28
macvr_MMA_: ^17:28
_MMA_Ahh...17:28
_MMA_Well, try it. We17:29
_MMA_gah17:29
_MMA_We'll see how it works.17:29
macvrOk...17:29
_MMA_Ok. I'm gonna write some emails then go enjoy the rest of my Saturday outside. Later.17:30
