[00:12] Anyone in here have experience dealing with printed stuff? We're trying to get a banner printed, and are worried about colors turning out wildly different than on screen, wondered how we might go about minimizing that risk [00:16] Or, if anyone wants to give suggestions (only two background colors!) I'd be happy to get input, that way I can blam^H^H^H^Hthank you later. We're just a little short on time making our final decision (45 minutes!) [00:29] Flannel, do a test print? ;) [00:29] Flannel, are you printing it locally or sending it to some print shop? [00:30] My printer isn't the best with colors, but yeah, it looks like a mixture of my two monitors [00:30] okay. maybe make a sample image with all the colors you are using *a lot*, do test prints and adjust the colors as needed [00:30] then print a small copy of the complete banner to see if all the colors are okay [00:31] We've got a guy whos at a school where they have a big printer, so he's printing through that. He's going to try and get a proof before the real thing, and then give a yay or nay [00:31] okay. [00:31] if you were sending it to a print shop, they possibly could make sure the colors were right if you gave them some pantone color numbers. [00:32] but it's of course differenet if someone not-so-experienced is printing it [00:33] the best way really is to use time to print some test/sample versions. [00:33] Well, we're not really trying to match anything in particular, it's just two tannish background colors, we just don't want them turning out really red or really yellow [00:33] :) [00:33] yeah. [00:33] but yeah, know what you're saying, agree, just... don't have that luxury I don't think. [00:33] i see. [00:33] hehe [03:28] * tutatux vou cortar os pulsos === johndoe297 is now known as JonDoe297 [08:45] kwwii: got my proposal email? [10:17] kwwii: can you please mail me your public key for your PPA ?

The won't work in 48x48? [13:03] ckontros: yup... when the user changes the font size , the size of the notify-osd changes , at that time the scalable icons are needed [13:04] you can have simlinks from the 48px in the scalable/ [13:06] macvr: That's what we'll do. I have to talk to kwwii to see if a better solution can be found. [13:07] kwwii: ping [13:07] Because PNGs in scalable/ just drive my OCD insane. [13:09] And, it's a bug if their path is hard-coded like that. [13:10] ;p [13:10] ckontros: any size larger, than 48px will *not* display well in the notify-osd , because the bug #393797 [13:10] Launchpad bug 393797 in notify-osd "Feature request : improve the resizing algorithm" [Wishlist,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/393797 [13:10] "Fix committed" So maybe we should get the other sizes in there. [13:11] Will be funny for anything other that Karmic but that's my target. [13:11] ckontros: the commit isnt good either , the best rescale algorithm deosnt do any justice tot he icons/images [13:12] they just end up blurry/loose color... [13:13] macvr: I *think* I'd rather do things correctly in the set and let the notify-osd guys work things out. I'm not usually happy with work-arounds. [13:13] its nore of the proper algorithm still doesnt exist in Ubuntu [13:13] more^ [13:14] its not the notify-osd fault , its just the os dosen have good rescale algorithms' [13:14] Still, not our bug. And I doubt is an OS thing. Just a lib thing most likely. [13:15] nope , not our bug... i didnt think so either but mpt said it was more of the OS [13:16] ckontros: i just noticed something... the 22px , how are they made? [13:17] *Everything* is rendered with Inkscape via a script in trunk. [13:17] they 22px just seems to cut 1px around the 24px , this just cut the nm-icon in the 22px, i wan to edit it, shall i send the edit in a couple of hrs? [13:18] ckontros: ^ [13:19] macvr: Give me a couple of mins. I'll clean up the branches and approve your membership on the condition that you upload no new icons. [13:19] Ok? [13:19] ckontros: i wont dare... ;p [13:20] macvr: You've used BZR correct? [13:20] i'v just used it to download the icon set [13:20] Oh. So no actual uploading? [13:21] Hmm... Maybe it will be best to just send me the revision. [13:21] ckontros: NO... i dont have a bzr account [13:21] You just need a LP account and to be on the team. [13:22] i have the lp ;p , but no bzr , so i dont think i can tinker the icon trunk [13:22] There's no "BZR" account. [13:22] You just need top be added to the team. [13:23] *to be [13:23] ckontros: oh... ok.. dont worry , i wont any icons , i'm not that crazy [13:24] wont add^ [13:25] macvr: So in trunk, all that needed fixing is emblem-important correct? [13:26] (and removing the blank icons) [13:26] i found that error, let me check for anything else [13:27] I fixed the spelling in the layer name. [13:27] which icon? [13:27] emblem-important [13:33] i dont see anything else that needs fixing [13:35] nm. I was mistaken. In any case, it's in the set now and blank items removed. Uploading now. [13:41] macvr: Ok. Both branches should be in sync and you are approved. I will be a little scarce today but might be able to attend to minor things later but most likely tomorrow night. [13:42] bbl [13:42] ckontros: just a min... [13:42] I must run. Quickly [13:42] the 22px fixes , when do you want it? [13:42] ASAP. [13:43] ckontros: just asked since you said you want be avail today... [13:43] Honestly, I don't understand the issue and don't have the time now. I gotta jet. bbl [13:43] ok bye [15:35] kwwii: hey. What do you think about reducing the gtkbutton size for the theme? It makes sense, especially since lots of users use netbooks nowadays.
