mrmcq2ukwwii there seems to be someone on ubuntu forums already creating a gtk theme to fit in with xsplash21:49
kwwiimrmcq2u: w00t, link?21:53
kwwiimrmcq2u: although I am pretty clost to finished with my version21:53
kwwii...hehe, maybe theirs is better :D21:54
mrmcq2uhttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1268950&page=721:54
mrmcq2unear the end21:54
kwwiigood to see that the forums are as crazy as ever ;)21:55
mrmcq2uI know :D21:55
kwwiiwell, I do like the top (dark) part but it does not fit with the current design21:56
kwwiieverything is dark in the new gdm21:56
mrmcq2uthink of it this way, the people complaining there are the same people who complained on the art mailing list which was not that many compared to the entire community21:56
kwwii ;)21:56
kwwiiright21:56
mrmcq2uoooooh21:56
kwwiiI understand the forum and don't take anything said there personally21:56
mrmcq2ucan I try it out21:56
mrmcq2usecretly :D21:56
kwwiialthough they can be somewhat personal in their comments at times21:56
mrmcq2ulolz21:56
SiDikwwii: some people in the forums dont notice devs ever hear about what they say21:57
kwwiibut hey, it is a forum...we ask people to say whatever they want there21:57
SiDiso they just crystalize all their disappointment or frustation on the devs21:57
mrmcq2ukwwii - I got a warning on the forums for freaking out at people complaining about developers21:57
kwwiiand to be honest, only ubuntu fans post things there...it is not a forum for newbies21:57
kwwiilol21:57
SiDiand some have a bad wording too. I did myself hurt other devs due to bad wording in the past21:57
kwwiiSiDi: trust me, I understand21:57
knomehurting is easy21:58
kwwiiI have had people tell me that everything I do is shit, etc21:58
kwwiino worries, it is somewhat too seperated from reality that I really listen to what they say :D21:58
mrmcq2ulike most forums21:58
knomekwwii, even that is better than doing things wonderfully (or so most of the people say) but get ignored by the person who decides on things :P21:58
kwwiiI wanted to make a screenshot of the new gdm21:59
kwwiibut the new themeing cannot even be applied to gdm21:59
kwwii:p21:59
SiDihey btw, will there be a new metacity / gtk theme in karmic for gnome ?21:59
kwwiiTheMuso (luke) is going to hack gdm to allow it to accept a gtk and metacity theme from a gconf key21:59
SiDi(why not set a theme for the 'gdm' user ? doesnt it work ?)22:00
kwwiiknome: true, to some extent22:00
mrmcq2uI think forums should be replaced with a more social network approach with aggregation of blog posts instead of forum threads, that way the things people say would be more attached to themselves as an individual so they would be less likely to act like a jerk22:00
kwwiiSiDi: no, it only takes the gnome-session default settings currently22:00
kwwiimrmcq2u: probably true22:00
dashuaI finally got a login sound on GDM22:00
kwwiiouch, turn it off22:00
kwwiiI get it *really* loud every morning22:00
dashuaHa yeah22:01
kwwiibecause I forget to turn my sound down the night before22:01
kwwiiI bet my neighbors think that is the sound of my alarm22:01
SiDilol22:01
mrmcq2ukwwii I hate when that happens in the college library22:01
kwwiiboom-ba-doompa--doompa-da22:01
kwwiilol22:01
mrmcq2uthe ubuntu startup sound is fairly daunting when I forget to switch it off and everyone looks at me :D22:02
kwwiiyou should see my sound setup on this machine ;)22:02
SiDii hate hearing windows login or microsoft live messenger sounds in the library22:02
SiDithat freaks me out22:02
kwwiiwe had a guy who wanted to work on it22:02
kwwiihe was amazing22:02
kwwiia real proffesional22:02
mrmcq2uthat was the last release right?22:02
knomeheh22:02
kwwiibut we pissed that away in the changing of leads, bosses, teams, etc22:02
knome>__<22:03
knomeof course..22:03
kwwiilet me find a link...he did some amazing shit22:03
knome"amazing shit"22:03
knomehmm22:03
knomeinteresting concept22:03
mrmcq2uoooh link :D22:03
kwwiione day I got an email from him saying he wanted to make a new sound theme for ubuntu22:03
mrmcq2uwhy dont you use it?22:03
mrmcq2uwas it the one that mark said sounded too much like windows?22:04
kwwiihttp://diegostocco.com/22:04
kwwiihttp://www.vimeo.com/user64738022:05
kwwiino, that was a different one22:05
knomeheh22:05
kwwiithe first stuff (and only stuff in the end) he sent was pretty wild, very different22:06
kwwiihe did the stapler music for ubuntu originally22:06
mrmcq2uis there a direct link to the music?22:06
kwwiibut it was considered too dark22:06
mrmcq2uor is the music in the intro of his site the one?22:06
kwwiino, not to the theme because it never was anything more than an email in my inbox22:06
kwwiihttp://www.vimeo.com/5583313 for instance...haven't heard that one yet22:07
mrmcq2uso his work will not be in a future version?22:08
kwwiiboah, the tree stuff is killer22:09
kwwiiI wish22:09
kwwiibut I bet he is upset that we blew him off22:09
knomekwwii, too bad to hear that.22:09
kwwiiyou should see the things he has done...it is amazing22:09
kwwiino doubt22:10
knomethere is a lot wrong in the ubuntu byrocracy, definitely.22:10
mrmcq2uIf you apologize and explain what the issues were before I am sure he would understand22:10
mrmcq2uwould there be anything holding his contribution back now?22:11
kwwiithe burning piano stuff is cool too22:11
kwwiimrmcq2u: yeah, maybe I should send him an email22:11
knomekwwii, have to check those once i get home ;)22:11
kwwiior flowers :p22:11
knomekwwii, and chocolate22:11
knomekwwii, and a bottle of whiskey22:11
knomekwwii, (me too)22:11
kwwiigood idea :p22:11
kwwiinot you though :D22:12
knomeBAH!22:12
mrmcq2ulol22:12
mrmcq2ukwwii - so the new gtk theme you are working on is not working with gdm yet?22:12
kwwiiI just bought a box of nifty absolut bottles in studded leather...cost too much to send it though22:12
kwwiimrmcq2u: no other theme works with gdm currently22:13
kwwiiit can do them, but it doesn't have a mechanism to set it22:13
kwwiigdm is now a normal x-session22:13
kwwiiand the panel at the bottom is a normal panel22:13
kwwiiwe had plans to change the interface but there is no dev/tem left to do it22:14
mrmcq2uWell I presume the plans to change the interface your are referring to is that clutter mockup macslow has?22:15
mrmcq2uwhich requires work to be done to the greeter right22:16
* mrmcq2u bookmarked the diegostocco site as there is some high quality stuff on it22:17
kwwiimrmcq2u: no, there are other mockups which we intended to make reality22:19
kwwiiI think they are on the wiki22:19
mrmcq2uah22:19
sanderqdhey, i was wondering whether there are still plans for client-side window decoration in ubuntu. saw a gtk+ branch implementing it, and heard some months ago it might be in 9.1022:19
mrmcq2ubut it doesnt support transparency and whatnot22:19
kwwiiwe decided not to turn compiz on at that point, no matter what22:19
kwwiiI think because it would take longer to load22:20
mrmcq2uI think client side windows are already in aren't they22:20
kwwiibut theoretically at least, you could do transparency in gdm if you wanted to and had the right card/driver22:20
mrmcq2ukwii - mutter might be better in karmic+122:20
mrmcq2ukwii - kwwii22:20
kwwiiahhh, read back further!22:20
kwwiiwe started work on that, both client side decorations and client side window22:21
kwwiithat is two different things22:21
mrmcq2uyeah, cimi did some good work on that end22:21
kwwiimrmcq2u: hopefully ;)22:21
kwwiiwe do have code for it all, but we are not using any of it22:21
kwwiiin karmic22:21
kwwiiwe did the one, and upstream did the other22:22
mrmcq2uhmmm.. is it part of gtk now or still a hack22:22
sanderqdyou did the csd? i think csw are merged into gtk+ right now22:22
mrmcq2uI think cdw are in22:23
mrmcq2ucdw - csw22:23
mrmcq2uthey got rid of the broken nvidia artifacts I had on windows :D22:24
mrmcq2uso my broken nvidia card can be used on one of my machines :D22:25
mrmcq2uubuntu 1 windows 022:25
mrmcq2ulol22:25
kwwiisanderqd: we started it, but had some serious problems with firefox in the testing22:25
kwwiiand then other things came up which we had to work on22:26
sanderqdah, right, and firefox would probably not be the only app facing issues22:26
kwwiicody russell really is a genious :)22:26
kwwiiyeah, I think OOo was another one22:26
kwwiignome apps worked fine22:26
mrmcq2uew OOo :D22:26
mrmcq2uI hate its ui22:26
kwwiibut then there was the question of what to do with kde apps, etc22:26
sanderqdstill it would be cool to have for at least some apps (maybe by adding a separate compiler flag), and have the rest use metacity's decoration22:27
kwwiisanderqd: that is exactly what I said (from the beginning on, because I knew there would be problems with some apps)22:27
kwwiiI suggested doing all the multimedia apps that way22:27
mrmcq2ushouldnt the few apps that have problems patch themselves22:27
kwwiias a group, they would be the best ones to implement this on first22:28
kwwiimrmcq2u: lol, that would be the ideal, yes....but not reality22:28
kwwiifirefox doesn't change because ubuntu wants to do something new22:28
mrmcq2uso firefox should hold it back?22:29
mrmcq2uhmmmm .. tricky22:30
mrmcq2uso mozilla dont have a good relationship upstream22:30
mrmcq2uIm sure csw/csd will be in other distros other than ubuntu22:30
kwwiimozilla doesn't really care about linux in general22:31
sanderqdkwwii: so csd is currently still under consideration? i like the idea a lot, it works out really well on mac and in google chrome22:31
kwwiiwe are not large enough, user-base-wise to make a difference22:31
kwwiithe fact that they botched the gtk implementation should explain that22:32
mrmcq2uisnt moblin using csw + csd22:32
kwwiisanderqd: because it is shortly before beta, I would say that for karmic it is dead but we will be working on +1 in a few weeks22:32
sanderqdgreat :-)22:33
