mrmcq2u_cool00:57
knomeyou are right, it's going to be cool00:57
mrmcq2u_:)00:59
mrmcq2u_is it similar to the ubuntu one?00:59
knomei can't remember if i have seen the ubuntu one, but i can definitely say it's going to be different01:00

knomethe final image is going to differ from that a bit at least01:03
knomeadding some more texture and putting some subtle highlights here and there01:04

knomeyeah.. i think so01:09
knomeif only i had the time01:09
zniavrehello / bonjour08:02
zniavrei tried to setup gdm as kkwwi told us yesterday but it does not work08:04
zniavredoes murrine set with rgba ON can 't work ?08:04
zniavrethe metacity in gdm works only for the visual keyboard not for the main loginwindow right ?08:37
kwwiizniavre: ?09:37
kwwiizniavre: it should be themed (black and white) but the variables have to be set09:38
zniavrekwwii,  ok im trying to understand how it works09:38
kwwiizniavre: currently in order to make it work you have to set 3 gconf keys in the ystem-wide defaults and then update everything09:39
kwwiiit is not a normal process yet09:40
zniavreon wich window metacity must be displayed ? (login or visual , or both )09:42
kwwiithe gtk theme and metacity theme are both named HumanLogin09:43
zniavreyes i saw this09:43
kwwiiI explained the process last night09:44
zniavreyes i tried it with succesfull for gtkrc09:44
kwwiithen it should work for metacity as well09:45
zniavrebut not on the login "stuff"09:45
kwwiihrm, you set the keys right?09:47
zniavrei modified cursor-theme and gtk they work well09:47
zniavreyes i set as you said yesterday night09:47
kwwii/apps/metacity/general/theme should be HumanLogin09:48
kwwiilol, last night I said there is 17 but there are two 16's instead09:48
zniavreyes09:49
zniavre:o)09:49
mac_vkwwii: the new human theme , is that the final version or...?09:58
mac_v could it be a bit more black and less brown ;)10:00
kwwiimac_v: I am expecting to tweak it a bit, depending on the feedback10:01
kwwiithere is already one bug, so there are still changes coming10:01
mac_v\o/10:01
darkmatterit's not bad. but unfortunately it's limited by that pile of crap called murrine ;P10:02
* mac_v likes the human login theme better ;p10:02
mac_vkwwii: why dont we use the human login theme , it looks good :)10:03
* mac_v would like a blend of the human login style with the present human theme color10:05
mac_vaahh the login theme is totalllllllllllly awesome10:08
kwwiimac_v: that is a pretty radical change10:08
mac_vyeah , but why not ;p ...10:09
kwwiimac_v: set the bg color a bit lighter (it is black currently) and it is pretty nice to use10:09
darkmattermac_v: my face is totally awesome! they should base all the artwork on that! xD10:09
mac_vdarkmatter: i dont think so ^ ;p10:09
mac_vkwwii: /apps/gwd/metacity_theme_active_opacity , setting this to 0.6 makes the theme look even better , you could use the transparency as the default for the login screen10:20
mac_vor maybe 0.710:20
kwwiimac_v: gdm does not run with compositing10:20
mac_vaw ;(10:20
kwwiiif it works on your normal desktop, it could but it was a decision to make it work better on all computers10:20
kwwiithe idea is to get to that point fast10:20
kwwiiI don't need my login window to wobble :P10:20
* darkmatter checks kwwii s temperature. yup. fever10:23
* darkmatter feeds gnome-shell to mac_v and watches him die a horrifyingly painful death10:31
thorwilgnome-shell is poisonous?10:32
darkmatterthorwil: you doubt? :o10:34
* mac_v isnt able to use gnome-shell , the driver fails 10:35
thorwildarkmatter: i havn't tried it, yet. from what i've seen, it suspiciously looks like going into another room to add something to your current room ...10:35
mac_vhehe ^10:35
darkmatterthorwil: I find it yet another horrible example of 'bah... testing is for n00bs! we're developers! usability experts and interface designers be damned!'10:37
kwwiithorwil: morgen, did you see the wallpapers?10:38
thorwilkwwii: do you refer to Ivankas mail from wednesday? if so, yes10:39
thorwildarkmatter: i'm not sure, but i think there were ux people around when gnome-shell was conceived10:40
kwwiithorwil: no, I wondered whether you had seen the 19 that made it onto the CD :)10:41
thorwilkwwii: nope10:41
darkmatterthorwil. I've used gnome-shell and still do occasionally. if there were ux people they were obviously either drunk or stoned at the time...10:42
thorwildarkmatter: already tried to point out the flaws on their mailing list? i admit that i wouldn't expect much from that, but worth a try10:43
* mac_v going to rip off kwwii's login theme and make a black theme usable as a system theme ;)10:43
darkmatterthorwil: I gave up pointing out flaws to developers YEARS ago. total waste of energy and time10:44
psyke83hey10:45
kwwiihi psyke8310:46
thorwildarkmatter: my involvement led to changes in a few apps and there are developers who actively ask me for my opinion sometimes. so i have a different experience10:46
darkmatterthorwil: lucky you.10:47
mac_vkwwii: you made an almost functional black theme http://imagebin.ca/view/4pb0Eww.html ... you rock...10:47
kwwiiwell, it wasn't all my work ;)10:49
kwwiipsyke83: hey, there is some bug about the new gtk...let me find it10:49
psyke83ok10:49
psyke83is it checkmarks being black in some apps?10:50
kwwiiwow, looking through bugs is amazing...get this one:10:50
kwwiiMetacity doesn't look Tango compliant10:50
kwwiibug #436066 Human theme vertical scroolbars have borders on maximized windows10:51
thorwilbut what if tango doesn't look metacity compliant? ;)10:51
ubottuLaunchpad bug 436066 in human-theme "Human theme vertical scroolbars have borders on maximized windows" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/43606610:51
darkmatterlol? why does.. actually no... etf does a wm have to do with an icon design style? oO10:51
kwwiithorwil: more importantly what is tangacity is not mango compliant?10:51
thorwilkwwii: i guess that's about there being a gap between screen edge and active area of the scrollbar. that would be a valid concern10:52
psyke83kwwii: yes, I'm aware of this bug. Changing the trough border to 0 will fix it10:52
kwwiiIndeed, I am going to update my test machine now I think10:52
thorwiltangacity? round look with thin stripes? :)10:52
psyke83I was hoping to get a hold of Andrea to see if he knew a way around this10:52
psyke83(without removing the trough)10:53
kwwiino, it is a drab desaturated vertical gradient with a really thick line around the outside ;)10:53
darkmatterisn't that two thicklines, one white and one black, so that the deco looks equally cartoonish against light and dark backgrounds? :P10:55
psyke83kwwii: http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/4594/trough0.png11:08
psyke83that's with the trough set to 0, which would resolve the problem that you can't click on the scrollbar from the rightmost part of the screen11:08
psyke83it loses some coherency, though - the scrollbar has sharp edges11:08
kwwiipsyke83: yeah, I like the trough, but on a maximised window it causes problems11:09
kwwiiwhich sucks11:09
kwwiiI think we have gone back and forth on this one in the past.11:10
psyke83no, we were thinking about going back and forth ;)11:10
psyke83there was also a bug in firefox related to troughs, and asack asked for us to ship the theme with the trough at 2 to bring it to the mozilla dev's attention11:11
psyke83that's fixed in the 3.6 alpha, dunno if it will be fixed for us in karmic11:12
psyke83one thing we could do is set the global roundness to 0, to make everything se11:13
psyke83*everything square11:13
* mac_v now is a *huge* kwwii fan ;) 11:14
* mac_v had been looking for a black theme for god knows how long.. this is almost close to what he was searching for \o/11:14
kwwiipsyke83: hrm, I'm going to play with it a bit and see what I can come up with...I might change the metacity a bit as well11:15
psyke83mac_v & kwwii: ironically, this is the theme that should have been called darkroom - it's like seeing a photo negative ;)11:15
kwwiimac_v: glad to have pleased you ;)11:15
kwwiihehe, no doubt11:16
kwwiibut darkroom only became so brown due to someone elses wishes11:16
mac_vpsyke83: hehe , ;) yeah11:16
psyke83kwwii: I'll mess around with it as well and see if I can come up with something11:16
mac_vpsyke83: are you going to make it as a theme? on its own?11:17
kwwiipsyke83: killer, thanks11:17
psyke83mac_v: in this case I'm talking about tweaking Human, not HumanLogin11:18
mac_voh ok ;)11:18
mac_vkwwii: pls add the human login theme as an optional theme in the default install , this is amazingly good11:18
mac_vnot for me well for others ;p11:18
* mac_v should stay away from ubuntu+1 ... too many complains about the theme 11:20
psyke83kwwii: on buttons, do you like when they have a noticeable centre gradient, or when they're smooth (like at the moment)?11:25
* darkmatter really likes how there is no way to see what applications are running in gnome shell and how there is no way to switch between open apps/windows except alt-tab or overlay. halloooo? ass backwards, inaccessible and unusable much? (and btw. read the mailing lists. the devs *refuse* to change that)...11:25
darkmatter    /facepalm11:25
darkmatterI thought the future would be 'click less, do more' not 'click more, do squat'... silly me11:27
mac_vpsyke83: you said photo negative... i remember.. once i tried to use the system like that , use the negative plugin from compiz ... didnt turn out well ;)11:27
psyke83;)11:28
psyke83kwwii: take a look at the buttons, this is what I mean: http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/1844/sharpgradient.png11:33
kwwiipsyke83: I like that gloss but only when it is just barely noticably11:43
kwwiinoticable11:43
psyke83ok11:43
kwwiibut I also like rounded buttons11:43
kwwiiI even thought about using the center glow or whatever it is called11:43
darkmatterthe glow is actually ok. gloss is... eww11:44
kwwiipsyke83: here's another bug: #43571812:00
kwwiithis one is a bit more interesting though12:00
psyke83kwwii: that looks to be a problem with the app12:01
psyke83it's the same for all themes I'm checking now12:02
kwwiipsyke83: I wonder if webkit-gtk is so new that nobody knows which class to use to fix it12:13
psyke83kwwii: no, because the human theme uses a universal roundness for all widgets. That means that the widget being rendered is not capable of being rounded, either because of gtk itself or the gtk engine12:15
kwwiipsyke83: good answer :) thanks!12:16
psyke83for example, in the past, the murrine engine couldn't round the treeview headers, but it can now12:16
kwwiilol, so after reading the bug correctly, the problem is that the one window is rounded when it should not be12:26
kwwiibecause the navigation tree view is not rounded12:27
kwwiipsyke83: if we wanted to make that square, couldn't we add a definition for exactly that class with a murrine engine roundness=0?12:28
psyke83kwwii: sure, it's easy12:29
psyke83do you mean to match a whole class, or a class only in that app?12:29
kwwiipsyke83: I mean a whole class12:29
kwwiiso all of those things are square12:29
kwwiihoping that whatever that class is, it is only used next to a tree view :p12:29
kwwiimaybe it would be better for them to do it in the app if possible12:30
psyke83kwwii: yep, in the relevant style section you want to change. Just don't forget to embed the 'engine "murrine" { }' part12:30
psyke83kwwii: the problem with gtk is that widgets embedded in widgets sometimes inherit the parent class12:30
psyke83e.g. progressbars on the networkmanager applet12:30
psyke83*networkmanager applet's meny12:31
psyke83*menu :P12:31
kwwiiyeah, what fun ;)12:31
psyke83so if you put roundness = 0 only in the progressbar class, it may not work in network manager and other application where they embed progressbars12:31
psyke83kwwii: the theme has one of these bugs right now: open gconf-editor and navigate to a key. The checkmarks are black12:32
kwwiiouch, yeah12:33
kwwiiwell, I going to see if this is a subclass which is easy to fix without screwing everythin else up12:33
psyke83when I recently re-wrote the theme, my aim was to remove all those hacks. However, when you recently told me about the selection bg colour change, I re-added the "hack" to make checkmarks white12:34
psyke83it can be fixed (and I think I fixed it in the darkroom/ubuntustudio theme before), I will look into it12:34
kwwiipsyke83: cool, I am doing this bug and trying to work on the color of the scrollbars12:35
* kwwii -> lunch12:43
zniavrewhere i can see the output of gdm error if there is ?12:48
zniavreor gdm can 't use Murrine engine at all ?12:49
zniavrewhat i do not trust cause Human is murrine i think12:49
psyke83kwwii: there's no chance of lightening the brown selection colour even a little bit>14:08
psyke83?14:08
kwwiipsyke83: yes, there is a chance...we have two people looking into which color we should use14:10
psyke83Cimi: hi, can you take a quick look at bug #422511 and tell me if it's possible to fix in your murrine engine? (i.e. let the trough part of the scrollbar respond to clicks)14:10
ubottuLaunchpad bug 422511 in human-theme "problem with new scrollbar in Human theme - GtkRange::trough-border set to 2" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/42251114:10
psyke83kwwii: that's good to hear, because I think that either the selection or the background needs to be adjusted14:12
psyke83I thought it was just my failing laptop screen (bad backlight, pinkish hue), but I checked the theme on my desktop monitor and it still looks too deep14:13
Cimithat is false dashua "The only detrimental effect is the loss of system-wide color theming to the scrollbars. Pixmap scrollbars scroll faster and smoother contrary to popular belief that the pixbuf-engine is slow."14:18
psyke83Cimi: yes, I agree14:20
Cimipsyke83, I haven't understood that bug14:21
psyke83Cimi, are you on Karmic right now?14:21
Cimiok understood14:22
Cimibut  can't be fixed14:22
psyke83Cimi: perhaps in gtk itself?14:22
Cimino14:23
Cimiis that firefox which is bugger?14:23
Cimi*d14:23
psyke83Cimi: Firefox has another problem with trough borders in text boxes, but that's not related to this specific problem14:23
psyke83the clicking problem affects all applications14:24
Cimibut with nautilus, if I click on the right edge14:24
psyke83maximize any application which has a scrollbar present, move the mouse to the rightmost part of the screen, and try to click on the scrollbar14:24
Cimiit grabs the scrollbar14:24
Cimihere it grabs14:24
psyke83if you're on Jaunty, it will work because the trough is set to 014:24
CimiI am on karmic14:24
Cimiand it grabs14:24
Cimionly firefox doesn0t14:25
psyke83just a min14:25
psyke83hrm, yes14:26
psyke83I thought that all applications had this problem14:26
psyke83so I guess this is a case of Firefox's gtk "emulation" messing up somewhere?14:27
Cimiy14:28
psyke83I hear that the 3.6 alpha fixes bug #327863, maybe as a side-effect the clicking problem will be gone14:28

CyberkillaHello14:29
CyberkillaI know I'm going to be punished for asking this, but...14:30
CyberkillaDoes anybody have any information pertaining to the final GDM theme in Ubuntu Karmic?14:30
kwwiiit does not grab the scrollbar at the very right with the trough !=0 but it does make the scrollbar jump/move around14:31
CyberkillaI can't find a damned thing about it, with the exception of the idle speculation and arguments in the Ubuntu forums.14:31
kwwiiCyberkilla: yes, it is the HumanLogin theme14:31
Cimikwwii, yeah14:31
kwwiiCyberkilla: they are working on getting it set14:31
kwwiias it has to be done as user gdm14:31
Cyberkillakwwii: Greatly appreciated, thanks.14:31
kwwiiCimi: hi, btw :)14:32
CimiI have 5 days of holiday, I'm looking forware a murrine 0.91.0 :)14:32
Cimihi kwwii14:32
psyke83kwwii: yes, I it only jumps, can't grab the scrollbar14:32
kwwiipsyke83: exactly14:32
kwwiihehe, holidays are for having fun...that's what you call fun?!14:33
Cimino, but I already implemented cool things in git14:33
CimiI just need few more hours14:33
psyke83Cimi: the last commit is 10 days ago, you didn't push them yet?14:35
kwwiicool14:35
CimiI am about to change the latest implementation14:35
CimiI will add gradients for the borders too14:35
knomekwwii, until somebody pays me for doing whatever i want, holiday is for doing all kind of work ;)14:36
Cimiand maybe I will add more styles for the arrows14:36
psyke83Cimi, that's awesome. I just hope that if your new version is stable, we can request a FFe for Karmic ;)14:37

kklimondaare the new icons for volume and wifi the direction you (as in art guys) are going to take? Will you change all gnome-applet icons and all notification from default installation?14:39
knomekwwii, hmm. what was the right time to ask for the photo once again..? :)14:40
=== chaotic_ is now known as chaotic
kwwiikklimonda: I was kinda amazed to see that they are in the humanity theme. they look very close to the ones I have in bzr14:40
mac_vkwwii: you made similar icons too  :)14:41
kklimondakwwii: so they are completely random and not a part of some bigger plan? :)14:43
mac_vkklimonda: actually , only the system icons are stylised and in greyscale , the app icons wont be done... since we cannot cover all apps , to fix this the notification area can be tweaked to desaturate the icons... similar to the UNR window list14:45
mac_vthe UX team hasnt decide on the tweak yet :/14:45
kklimondamac_v: damn.. I was hoping for some kind of standardised look for notification area and I really like those new icons..14:46
psyke83kwwii: the only thing that concerns me is the volume icon. When it's muted, it looks like there is uncomfortable whitespace between the volume icon and network-manager. Maybe put a subtle X to indicate it's muted, or hollowed bars?14:46
mac_vkklimonda: glad you like them ;) , some have complained some raved.., but there are problems with doing app icons since these icons will be displayed in the apps too :(14:47
mac_vpsyke83: hehe , i did that ;p14:48
mac_vis an X really essential?14:48
psyke83mac_v: no, but just do something to alleviate the space14:48
psyke83for example, when muted or at 0%, keep the speaker icon fully solid, but leave the three volume bars that are grey14:49
kklimondamac_v: will you change at least bluetooth one? it looks really out of space right now.. well, now all icons look out of space but other are at least connected to programs and bluetooth one just sits there.. bluetooth and icon that shows up when files are copied in nautilus..14:49
psyke83*light grey14:49
mac_vpsyke83: hmm... why i didnt add the X was because it wasnt being displayed properly ,ie not very sharp...14:49
kwwiipsyke83: yes, people have reported that14:49
mac_vpsyke83: i tried that , then we had complaints that the full and no signal were very similar14:50
psyke83mac_v: what about changing the bars to waves?14:51
psyke83(for the volume icon)14:51
mac_vpsyke83: maybe i could increase the transparency even further14:51
mac_vthat wont be sharp ;)14:51
psyke83yes, the icon is so small...14:51
mac_vkklimonda: the bluetooth icon shows up in the system menu :/ , so we are really hoping the notification area is patched14:52
psyke83mac_v: the problem is of context. If I were to look at the volume icon right now, while muted, I only know that it's semi-transparent because of the network manager icon with the full connection beside it14:52
mac_vpsyke83: ah , i got an idea , doing one14:53
psyke83however, a fully solid speaker icon with three transparent bars would show me that the volume is muted, and I would be sure without needing context from another icon14:53
kklimondamac_v: isn't it a bug itself that the same icon is used for both notification area and other parts?14:53
psyke83cool :)14:53
kwwiipsyke83, anyone who cares: I'm tweaking the human theme colors so that a) the brown is less saturated and a slighty different hue14:54
kwwiib) the bg color is a bit darker and more saturated14:54
mac_v^ \o/14:54
kwwiiand c) the scrollbars are more grey14:54
mac_vkklimonda: yup , but will the devs fix it because a single theme has decided to do a new style ;)14:54
kwwiiand the panel icons are an open issue which I will discuss when the right people wake up14:54
psyke83kwwii: if you can throw the gtkrc my way I'd appreciate it, or let me know the new colour definitions. I'd like to experiment with the button shading and gradients some more, and knowing the colours you're aiming for will help14:55
kwwiipsyke83: will do...I should have an idea of what I want in a few minutes14:56
kwwiistill working on gdm14:56
psyke83great, thanks14:57
mac_vkwwii: the notification area tweak would be nice , DBO already has an idea , he just needs th go ahead from you guys :)14:59
kwwiimac_v: what is that?15:00
mac_vkwwii: notice in UNR window list the inactive window icon becomes desaturated and less opaque , DBO wrote that patch , i asked him if the same can be done for the notification area , he said it can be done..15:01
mac_vwe could just desaturate the notification area icons15:02
mac_vthat would fix all apps using the area15:02
kwwiimac_v: but possibly ruin the look/use of some of the icons15:02
mac_vkwwii: all we need to do is to allow error icons to have the red color ,15:03
mac_vi dont think the look would be lost , it would for window list15:03
mac_vit works for *15:03
psyke83Cimi: going back to the scrollbar bug - let's ignore Firefox entirely. Speaking for all other applications, is there any way to allow the scrollbar itself be clickable with a >0 trough?15:05
CimiI don't think so15:05
Cimibut with other applications work15:05
Cimiat least here it seems to work15:05
psyke83Cimi: no, other apps don't work. When you click on the area beside the scrollbar itself, it treats the click as a page up/down (depending on the mouse position relative to the centre of the scrollbar)15:07
psyke83ideally when you click in that area, it grabs the scrollbar itself (this is very useful for laptop users with touchpads)15:07
psyke83sorry, the click is not relative to the scrollbar's centre15:08
psyke83well the behaviour is unpredictable at the top or bottom of a page15:09
mac_vpsyke83: could you pull from > $bzr branch lp:humanity and check if the volume mute is better?15:10
psyke83mac_v: will do15:10
psyke83mac_v: I'm not so sure. What about making the three dots the same size as the smallest bar for the other volume levels?15:22
mac_vpsyke83:  , i tried that , but the band was too thick :(15:23
mac_vhmm , i could make it a little bigger15:24
psyke83mac_v: well, if it were, I, I would make it consistent with the other icons (a solid speaker and three semi-transparent bars) :)15:24
psyke83*if it were me15:24
psyke83oops, heh15:24
psyke83I need to get more sleep ;)15:24
mac_vhehe , that doesnt work looks bad :/15:30
psyke83mac_v: another idea is that you can redesign the icon - change the volume indicator to a cone. 100% volume is a wide angle, and 0% is quite narrow15:39
* ckontros waves15:40
mac_vaw... :( , redoing it now is a bit difficult , but after the beta ;)15:41
psyke83not an actual cone, but rather a cone shape... so if you have three bars, you could have it like this, with the three bars from left to right: 100% - 3px, 8px, 12px; 66% - 3 px, 6px, 8px; 33% - 3px, 4px, 6px15:42
psyke83well I hope you get the idea15:43
psyke83hey ckontros, I see you changed your nick :P15:43
psyke83mac_v: so make it the same as it is now, but the angle reduces with the volume15:44
mac_vpsyke83: oh , neat idea ;) but Dan doesnt want the shapes to change :(15:44
ckontrospsyke83: Yep. Been wanting to do it for a while. Little more professional.15:44
psyke83I forget, is Kontros originally a Greek or Slavic name?15:45
ckontrosPolish or Czech. Never really found out for sure.15:46
psyke83it's weird, I always associate it with Greek for some reason15:47
ckontros:)15:47
psyke83maybe something I read in greek philosophy when I was in university ;P15:48
ckontrosI'm a big mut in the end. Lots of folks, um, "havin' relations" with each other in my background. :P15:48
psyke83aren't we all15:48
psyke83;)15:48
psyke83there's no pure races anymore... the only eugenics programs that survived WW2 were in the Krufts dog show :P15:49
ckontrosSeems so. Some tribal people left I suppose.15:49
psyke83mac_v: who is Dan?15:49
mac_vpsyke83: Daniel fore , he is the one who started the theme[and elementary]15:50
psyke83as, I see15:50
psyke83*ah15:50
psyke83mac_v: what app do you use to edit icons?16:21
mac_vpsyke83: inkscape16:27
psyke83thanks16:28
dashuackontros, Sup mate? Nice changes to Breathe :)17:04
ckontrosdashua: Thanx to Daniel. We have some more things to work. I'm still settling back in N.C. but I'll get to it soon.17:05
dashuaDefinite improvement.17:05
kwwiifor those not on the #dx channel: http://people.canonical.com/~njpatel/network-love.png?17:06
dashuaThe first set of edits were a little too saturated, but these are quite nice17:06
* ckontros reminds himself to sync and test latest disks.17:07
kwwiioopps wrong channel17:07
dashuakwwii, New nm-applet is nice17:07
andreasntoo big icon?17:07
njpatelwell, what does the icon mean?17:08
njpatelethernet loves me?17:08
kwwiithat icon makes absolutely no sense17:08
andreasna star like firefox maybe?17:08
kwwiimy wired network is my favorite?17:08
kwwiisure, it is faster...whatever is faster is my favorite17:09
andreasnis there some kind of hierarchy going on there? it looks slightly odd that active and the things below are intended to the right a bunch of pixels17:11
dashuackontros, http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/25704/screenshot_QEGrd2.png17:11
dashuaJust awesome.17:11
ckontrosdashua: Pretty slick. :)17:12

dashuackontros, What do you think about the grey scale panel icons for Breathe?17:13
ckontrosdashua/kwwii: Isn't there still code needed for that?17:14
dashuaInherits Humanity too is nice.17:15
dashuackontros, Not sure.17:16
dashuaOh wow.  it's  a major discussion about that now.17:19
kwwiihehe, I think the current grey scale icons need improvement (the humanity ones)...they are *way* too light17:23
* kwwii gets dinner17:28
zniavreim wondering why next/previous/pause/pause notification icons are made cause it does not work at all17:29
zniavrepause/play *17:29
kwwiizniavre: because the design is sometimes ahead of the code17:30
zniavre:o)  they worked on jaunty alpha17:30
ckontrosIf someone needs me, PM.17:32
kwwiizniavre: then that means that the names were changed or the code no longer does what it was supposed ot17:52
kwwiior the funtionality was simply changed17:53
natewiebe13being that the artwork deadline has passed.. does that mean gdm is going to stay as-is? (for karmic)17:58
FLOZzHello all  _o/17:59
mac_vkwwii: the icons can be darkened ;) thats not a problem , they were made light because UNR guys asked for it to be light19:54
mac_vthere is also a simple solution for UNR , make a panel icon theme only for Dark panels > name it Humanity Dark[or whatever] ... this theme will contain only the light panel icons which will be a very small size <0.2mb , include the inherits as humanity main... so when UNR uses the light icons it would work well for it19:57
mac_vkwwii: any decision on the panel icons?19:58
mac_vdo you guys want it darker?19:58
mrmcq2u_who created that new wallpaper with the stones in karmic?20:03
zniavrethis one is really nice20:07
kwwiimac_v: I talked to david about it and I think he wants to put the human icons into humanity for karmic because there is not enough time to make sure that all the icons which appear in the panel are made with the new style20:08
mac_vkwwii: i was talking to david too! you guy are shuffling it around :( ...20:09
mac_vhe said you wanted the human ions!20:09
mac_vicons*20:09
kwwiilol20:09
kwwiimac_v: when the decision to use humanity was made one day before beta freeze, I stopped feeling responsible for this20:10
mac_vkwwii: if the brightness is the issue we can just make them darekr20:10
kwwiimac_v: in any case, I would make them darker20:10
mac_vkwwii: yeah, i know... how you feel20:10
kwwiiI do like the icons, they are *amazingly* similar to the panel icons I made for human but never used20:10
mac_vthey were made light because UNR guys wante dit light!20:10
mac_vwanted it light20:11
kwwiiI mean, I will still do whatever I can to make things as good as possible20:11
kwwiiyeah, that is exactly what I thought20:11
mac_vkwwii: they wanted it even lighter20:11
kwwiiwith a dark panel they need to be lighter20:11
mac_vexactly20:11
kwwiibut for a light panel they need to be dark20:11
mac_vthats why there needs to be 2 version20:11
kwwiiI addressed this issue when I made my 2d panel icons20:11
mac_vvesions*20:11
kwwiiI know20:11
mac_vkwwii: the simplest solution for all would be move the light icons to a separate package...20:13
mac_vkwwii: either way , how do we proceed now?20:13
mac_vkwwii: the sad part is ... david doesnt know about icons , and is not able to decide... pls take chage of this problem20:14
mrmcq2u_nooooooooooo's20:14
mrmcq2u_dont take the notification icons away :(20:14
mrmcq2u_please :D20:14
mac_vmrmcq2u_: from backlog > there is also a simple solution for UNR , make a panel icon theme only for Dark panels > name it Humanity Dark[or whatever] ... this theme will contain only the light panel icons which will be a very small size <0.2mb , include the inherits as humanity main... so when UNR uses the light icons it would work well for it20:15
kwwiimac_v: for karmic, because we cannot change code, either a) all the necessary icons are made to satisfactory quality in the simple style or b) you move them for now into another package and use other ones (whether that is human or not is another issue)20:15
kwwiimac_v: that panel icon set would have to be on top of humanity20:15
mac_vkwwii: thats for the UNR version20:16
kwwiiie it would be the theme set in the system and then only fallback on humanity20:16
kwwiiright20:16
mac_vUbuntu can use the dark icons20:16
mrmcq2u_well I am using a dark panel atm20:16
kwwiimrmcq2u_: then you could install the humanity-dark theme and use it, it would also point to the normal humanity set with the light icons20:16
kwwiierm dark20:16
kwwiiboah, this can get confusing20:17
mac_vkwwii: its confusing for us but the end user wouldnt know ;)20:17
mrmcq2u_the one issue I found was the messages applet, when I get a new message I think it would be great if it changed to completely white to highlight it20:17
kwwiimac_v: exactly20:17
kwwiiI did not realize the problem when david was talking to me20:17
mac_vmrmcq2u_: just fixed that problem20:17
mrmcq2u_kwwii - would humanity dark and humanity light come as default on karmic?20:18
kwwiiwhen I did the unr icons originaly I wanted to use two sets20:18
kwwiimrmcq2u_: depending on the file size, yes20:18
kwwiiit would be installable in any case20:18
kwwiithey share the same repos to some extent20:18
mac_vkwwii: those icons are very small20:18
kwwiimac_v: right, but the disk is very full20:18
kwwiiI imagine the extra kb's I saved in the wallpaper package would be enough20:19
mac_vlet me just tell you exactly how much20:19
kwwiibut I cannot promise that20:19
kwwiiespecially after beta freeze20:19
kwwiigetting a new package included will be very hard20:19
kwwiiany new package20:19
mac_vkwwii: <292.6kb!20:19
mrmcq2u_would be nice if the panel could say, "hey I am dark use the dark set" and "hey I am light use the light set" dynamically, but then it wouldn't be the gnome panel we know and love :D20:19
kwwiiand I cannot promise any space at all, pitti could20:20
kwwiimrmcq2u_: that is the plan for lucid20:20
kwwiiI have been fighting for that for years20:20
mrmcq2u_lolz, I have mentioned it several times also20:21
kwwiiI made icons a long time ago for it ;)20:22
mac_vkwwii: how much is the size of the human icons? i bet they are bigger than humanity's ;)20:23
mrmcq2u_color management is very difficult with gtk, I proposed that an abstraction layer was created which took the color hash code and abstracted it to more simpler color management(sort of like all of the hash codes in this string are diffferent shades of "blue", if one of these is used then use the blue template etc20:23
mac_vkwwii: i asked seb he says that space is no probs20:23
mrmcq2u_kwwii - the new gdm gtk theme is nice by the way :D20:24
kwwiimac_v: no humanity is larger than human20:24
kwwiibut I also removed the tangerine theme20:24
mac_vi meant the panel icons alone20:24
kwwiimrmcq2u_: thnx, it still needs icons20:24
kwwiimac_v: btw, that is something else...we have icons for the panel in gdm, they should go in humanity as well20:25
mrmcq2u_kwwii is it possible to have the same panel layout in the mockups atm, instead of the three dropboxes?20:25
kwwiimrmcq2u_: I wish we could remove them but I don't have a developer who has time to do it20:25
kwwiialso, I want to remove the computer icon20:26
mac_vkwwii:  i didnt understand?20:26
mrmcq2u_kwwii - theres always lucid20:26
mac_vabout the panel^20:26
kwwiimac_v: in gdm there is a panel with icons in it...mat already made icons for it (simple white ones)20:26
kwwiithose will need to go in humanity I guess (if they are to be used)20:26
kwwiior again, we make a special set just for that and use it for gdm20:26
kwwiibut the problem with making all these different sets is that they show up in the icon chooser capplet20:27
mac_vkwwii: if it is a dark panel , we can use the icons from the humanity dark version , no need extra icons20:27
mrmcq2u_mac_v ->http://www.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?68f689f6cc.png20:28
kwwiimac_v: right, but mat has icons he wants to be used, they are in the mockup20:28
kwwiihe said he would send them20:28
mrmcq2u_the icons which kwwi wants to use are seen in the mockup here ->20:28
mrmcq2u_http://d0od.blogspot.com/2009/09/karmic-gdm-design.html20:28
mrmcq2u_god damn, i always either leave out an i or a w in your nick kwwii :D20:29
kwwiiyou should try typing my full name then :p20:29
kwwiiKenneth Wesley Wimer II20:29
knomekwwii, i always think your last name is wilmer :P20:30
kwwiilol20:30
mrmcq2u_:D20:30
kwwiiback in the day people always asked why my nick was K-World War II20:30
knomelol20:31
kwwiicoming from the KDE community kinda helped that20:31
mrmcq2u_Now that I think of it is ubuntu the first distro to use a custom theme with the new gdm20:31
knomekwwii, lol!20:32
kwwiiI wonder if anyone knows that I am still a kde ev member and still work on kde20:32
knomewell you can imagine how people is surprised that i don't use either kde or gnome ;)20:33
mrmcq2u_hehehehe20:33
kwwiimichael meeks tore me a new a**hole on the plane the other day for making oxygen (I killed Tango!)20:33
knome:P20:33
mrmcq2u_:D20:34
mrmcq2u_if the workspaces supported individual wallpapers you could almost make the new stones wallpaper into a panoramic one by turning the second workspace wallpaper upside down :D20:35
mrmcq2u_actually you would need to flip it from the right side to the left20:38
kwwiiinteresting idea20:38
mrmcq2u_extra polish without the need to create extra work :D :P lolz20:38
mrmcq2u_I think there needs to be a humanity panel icon for bluetooth too20:45
kwwiimrmcq2u_: that is part of the problem20:46
kwwiiit is not just about picking dark or light panel icons, but making sure that *all* icons which appear next to another are in the same style20:46
mrmcq2u_kwwii - I think it would be ok if bluetooth icon was changed, in my view there shouldnt be any more icons in the notification area so it wouldn't matter20:47
kwwiimrmcq2u_: there are more icons that can appear there20:48
kwwiia lot more20:48
kwwiiin lots of packages20:48
kwwiiwhich are not in themes20:48
kwwiiso it is hard to know where20:48
mrmcq2u_kwwii-that can be worked on for lucid20:48
mrmcq2u_kwwii- can you have different wallpapers for different workspaces in ubuntu yet, I saw a blog post saying it landed in gnome a long time ago?20:49
kwwiinot sure, I never tried and am currently running windows to watch a movie (after jaunty alpha fscked my dvd drive it only works with windows :p)20:50
* kwwii needs to buy and install a new dvd drive20:50
mrmcq2u_http://gsocblog.jsharpe.net/archives/1520:51
mrmcq2u_kwwii -> my drive seems borked too :( annoying when it takes about 3 hours to get it to boot a live cd :(20:52
mac_vkwwii: or... we make the panel icons dark and...  we just dont use the icons for UNR ?20:52
kwwiiok, so let's talk about this in an orderly way....let me explain the choices20:52
mac_vsure20:52
kwwiia) we leave things as they are20:52
kwwiib) we make the panel icons darker and create a special set for UNR which is selected as the system default and falls back to humanity20:53
kwwiic) we incorporate the human panel icons into humanity20:53
kwwiioops, b) also means making all the missing icons for most people20:54
kwwiiI run kmail and it puts an icon there as well, but I don't think we need to worry about cases like that20:54
mac_vas in app icons?20:54
kwwiiyes20:54
kwwiiwell the icons that apps put in the system tray area20:54
kwwiianything on the top right should have the same style20:55
djsiegelkwwii: don't worry about app icons that go in the tray20:55
djsiegelno, not for Karmic, that is way out of scope20:55
kwwiidjsiegel: the important apps would be easy20:55
kwwiithe ones installed by default20:55
djsiegelkwwii: you sure?20:55
djsiegeleasy for you? for Dan?20:55
mac_vkwwii:  i would say, we just draw a line and say , only system icons are greyscale ....20:55
kwwiidjsiegel: otherwise it will also look like crap on a default install20:55
kwwiirhthym box20:56
kwwiietc20:56
mac_vthe rest are color , thats how win7 does it too ;)20:56
kwwiithere are only a few20:56
djsiegelkwwii: yeah... I just think those icons are going to end up in other places20:56
mac_v^20:56
mac_vthats the problem^20:56
djsiegelyou will have a little gray RB icon somewhere20:56
kwwiiand some of them could be made from the 2d icons I made for human20:56
kwwiidjsiegel: good point20:56
kwwiiwell, in most cases it is just the app icon20:57
kwwiiat 22x2220:57
kwwiibut that is shown in the menu as well20:57
mac_vyeah20:57
kwwiishit...I hate icons20:57
djsiegelhaha20:57
djsiegelkwwii: let's aim for a panel-only-icons solution for Lucid20:57
djsiegelfor karmic, let's just have light stencil indicators, a small set20:58
kwwiidjsiegel: yeah, I guess that is the best solution for now20:58
djsiegeland apps that still put stuff up there will look wrong20:58
mac_vkwwii: lets stick to system icons for Karmic and find a solution in lucid20:58
djsiegelthe app will look wrong, not the volume icon20:58
kwwiimac_v: lets work on the ones included in humanity now though...they could be much sexier20:58
mac_v;)20:58
kwwiianything that causes a problem should not be used20:58
djsiegelkwwii: I kept asking Dan to consider a humanity-panel-dark and humanity-panel-light themes20:58
djsiegelif we could do that for Karmic, that would be great20:59
kwwiiI'll hlp work on them this weeekend20:59
djsiegeluse your status icos20:59
djsiegelicons20:59
djsiegelthey are cleaner and nicer20:59
kwwiidjsiegel: it would be really easy20:59
djsiegeletc20:59
djsiegelif it's easy,we should do that20:59
mac_vkwwii: djsiegel: Ubuntu was never on the table , so we were doing what the UNR guys were asking20:59
djsiegelthe 1-theme-fits-dark-and-light panels will never work20:59
djsiegelmac_v: that's not what I consistently told Dan20:59
kwwiimac_v: unr will need the second theme to use lighter icons20:59
mac_vand then djsiegel dropped the bomb ;p20:59
kwwiiit is that simple21:00
kwwiieither that or we use human icons in humanity for the panel21:00
djsiegelI said over and over again that I was pushing for humanity in the desktop and Dan should not focus only on URN :)21:00
kwwiidjsiegel: the problem was pushing it in one day before beta without testing21:00
djsiegelkwwii: we either need to stick with humanity now, as it sort of works on dark and light, or we need to use your forking approach21:00
kwwiisorry, but I will be honest...no hard feelings21:00
djsiegelkwwii: what do you mean without testing, it has been tested21:00
kwwiiit kinda pissed me off to some extent21:01
djsiegelI've gotten about 50 people to try21:01
mac_vkwwii: i think for UNR w do all the crazy stuff > either not use the icons or replace it with HUman , ... lets fix humanity for Ubuntu21:01
kwwiidjsiegel: apparently not, or we would not be having this dicsussion21:01
djsiegelkwwii: Well, I never thought it was perfect21:01
djsiegelapparently people want the panel icons darker21:01
djsiegelI admit, I want darker too21:01
kwwiidjsiegel: again, it has more to do with the timing than the decision21:02
djsiegelyeah I suppose, it was so late21:02
djsiegelWe should have gotten the boss to say yes a few weeks ago..21:02
mac_vdjsiegel: as i said , i was the one who made them light! :( , its was because UNR asked... and Dan told me to do it for unr21:02
djsiegelI guess Dan didn't believe we could get them on the desktop :)21:02
mac_vand Ubuntu was not going to use humanity :(21:02
kwwiithat and the email from mark telling me it was ok that I put it in UNR, he can live with that, but I should not use it anywhere else :p21:03
mrmcq2u_rhythmbox should not be in the notification area to begin with, the reason it is is because of lack of features in metacity, in my view you should just concentrate on system icons.21:03
djsiegelat the end of the day, I think people will really like the change21:03
kwwiimrmcq2u_: yes, all media players do that21:03
kwwiias do email apps21:03
kwwiiwell, we have the notification menu for evolution21:04
djsiegelno, email apps go in the messaging menu now, rgight?21:04
kwwiibut anyway21:04
kwwiiright21:04
kwwii;)21:04
kwwiiI say, just make them dark and sexy..test it to make sure no other apps put icons there in the default install and make a light theme with just the light versions of this called "humanity-dark" or such and set that is the default in UNR with a fall back to humanity21:05
kwwiiit is either that or copy human icons into humanity21:05
kwwiiteh simple style is the way forward, in my opinion21:06
knomenah, make it as complex as possible21:06
kwwiialthough the icons could use some refinement, we have until monday to change things21:06
kwwii:p21:06
mac_vkwwii: great... Ubuntu > darken them...    for UNR its better we copy Human21:06
knomeactually, we joked about creating an icon theme with *circles* only21:06
mac_vsince Dust is not purely a dark theme21:06
kwwiimac_v: no! either or21:06
kwwiiahhh21:06
knomeand it turned out to be quite powerful21:06
kwwiigood point21:06
kwwiishit21:07
kwwiiI give up21:07
kwwiicopy the human icons into humanity for karmic and be done with it21:07
kwwiifor both unr and the desktop21:07
mac_vkwwii: we can just branch upstream version > Humanity-UNR21:07
kwwiidjsiegel: send you email :p in the end that is the only real solution21:07
mac_vwith not icons21:07
mac_vwith no*21:07
kwwiimac_v: you have to think about the possibility that the source repos/packages are the saem21:08
kwwiisame21:08
kwwiiinstall one app from ubuntu and you might change a lot more than you think21:08
djsiegelI was told Human icons can't go in UNR21:09
djsiegelbecause you can't see them on the dark panel21:09
mac_vdjsiegel: yes21:09
djsiegelthis situation with dark & light panels is so aggravating21:09
mac_vkwwii: that too^21:09
zniavrewhy HumanLogin is using industrial engine ?21:10
mac_vUNR can only use the gnome icons21:10
kwwiizniavre: because it is fast and could do what I wanted21:10
kwwiizniavre: btw, your name is going in on monday21:10
mac_vthats why i suggested make UNR's panel light ;p21:11
kwwiidjsiegel: ok, that is another factor then21:11
zniavrethank very much you kwwii21:11
djsiegelkwwii: there are too many factors21:11
djsiegelif we have to use just 1 icon theme, same on desktop and UNR, let's use Humanity as is21:11
kwwiidjsiegel: no doubt21:11
zniavrei tried clearlooks instaed of industrial i have the feeling it much better21:11
mrmcq2u_just create two versions, one for dark and one for light21:11
djsiegelif we can do a darker panel variation21:12
djsiegelif we can do darker panel icons on the desktop, we should21:12
zniavrei can't screenshot but you should have a try maybe ?21:12
djsiegelbut I was told that is too difficult21:12
mac_vkwwii: what is the problem , previously only UNR used Humanity... now ubuntu will use humanity ... and UNR will use humanity-UNR... why would there be a confusion?21:12
kwwiidjsiegel: we have more than one open bug about the visibility of the icons on the light colored panel of the desktop21:12
mrmcq2u_The current humanity icons dont look bad on light or dark panels in my opinion  too21:12
djsiegelkwwii: people are saying they cannot see them?21:13
kwwiidjsiegel: they have complained that they are too light21:13
mac_vkwwii: > http://imagebin.ca/view/oFRenHr.html ;p21:13
djsiegelkwwii: yes, but are they just whining?21:13
djsiegelkwwii: I don't think they are so light to be unusable or even ugly21:13
kwwiino, they look similar to desaturated inactive widgets21:14
djsiegelI would like darker, but if people are saying "OMG I WANT HUMAN BACK" they may just be being dramatic21:14
mrmcq2u_it does seem popular with people on ubuntu forums21:14
djsiegelkwwii: hmm21:14
mrmcq2u_what about the good reviews of the new artwork thus far on the blogosphere21:14
kwwiiwe oculd do as mac_v and I have suggested before and have two different sets21:14
kwwiione for UNR and one for the desktop21:14
djsiegelyes, I think that is good, but the packaging gods said it would be too hard21:15
djsiegelif that is easy, I think we should21:15
kwwiioh, it is easy...I can do it21:15
kwwiibut the icons need to be changed21:15
djsiegelmac_v and DanRabbit can do that quickly, I bet21:15
kwwiionce the icons are changed it is almost a matter of a sed command21:15
kwwiiI would help as well...I'd like to see some refinements to the current versions21:16
mac_vawesome , super kwwii to the rescue21:16
djsiegelkwwii: ok, Dan is coming in here21:16
kwwiione bad thing about using large sized svgs for small icons is that they tend to look blocky21:16
dashuamac_v, http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/25720/screenshot_003_wQZrQJ.png21:16
dashuaMuch clearer :)21:16
djsiegelkwwii: please make DanRabbit and mac_v do your bidding21:16
kwwiicool, I wondered why he wasn't until now21:16
djsiegelI will get these U1 icons to the U1 guys21:17
mac_vkwwii: DanRabbit is usually hanging out in ayatana21:17
kwwiiahhh21:17
DanRabbitI'm here21:17
kwwiihey21:17
mac_vdashua: i think we would loose those icons ;) so back them up21:18
kwwiiI am heading out in a bit, 22:18 here..I do have something left of a social life :p21:18
mac_vdashua: i.e they would get lighter21:18
mac_vkwwii: sure... ping me later ;)21:18
kwwiiDanRabbit: the idea so far is to make two versions of the panel icons, one light for UNR and one dark for the desktop...are you ok with that?21:18
dashuamac_v, =/21:19
kwwiimac_v: there won't be any later where I am going :)21:19
DanRabbitYea, mac_v and I have been asking about it ;)21:19
dashuaI have a debian package made with them21:19
kwwiiso we would have the humanity-dark theme for UNR and the humanity theme for the desktop21:19
kwwii-dark meaning it is meant for a dark theme and the panel icons are lighter21:19
DanRabbitright21:19
mac_vkwwii: ah , you are confusong again!21:20
kwwiidashua: you rock, any packaging help is greatly appreciated21:20
mac_vno icons in the dark theme ;21:20
kwwiimac_v: ??? what did I say wrong?21:20
mac_vkwwii: if we make them lighter , they will be lost in the windows21:20
mac_vfor duat21:20
mac_vdust21:20
mrmcq2u_mac_v - dark=light icons light=dark icons21:21
kwwiimac_v: duh, right21:21
kwwiiboahhhhhhhh21:21
mac_vmrmcq2u_: dust is not a full dark theme thats the problem!21:21
DanRabbithmm21:21
mac_vkwwii: we , just remove the icons from the Humanity dark21:21
kwwiimac_v: ok, so explain what I decided :p21:21
kwwiilol21:21
DanRabbitgood point21:21
mrmcq2u_people can figure out which one to use with their theme, they aren't idiots you know :D21:22
dashuakwwii, Not really fluent.  Just grabbed Karmic's source, stole the debian dir, bumped the version, and built from trunk.21:22
kwwiimac_v: but there was a complaint that the colored icons are hard to see in the dark panel21:22
dashuaSure it's not proper21:22
mrmcq2u_as long as the option exists for dark and light panels there should'nt be a problem21:22
dashuaI would love to help though if needed21:22
mac_vkwwii: we remove the humanity's panel icons and let gnome handle those icons ,21:22
mac_vthat works well21:22
kwwiidashua: yeah, that is the best way to start..it really isn't that hard (and it won't build until you get all the pieces right!)21:22
kwwiimac_v: right, agreed21:22
kwwiidjsiegel: ok with you?21:23
djsiegelI am having trouble following21:23
djsiegelcan you summarize?21:23
kwwiiyes21:23
mac_vdjsiegel: Ubuntu = Humanity+its own panel icons21:23
djsiegelJust to raise spirits, if none of this works, despite what some bug reporters say, I think humanity is still great on the desktop as-is :)21:23
djsiegelyeah, perfect21:23
djsiegelUNR = current humanity21:23
mac_vUNR = Humanity - panel icons ;021:23
djsiegelright?21:23
djsiegelno panel icons?21:23
mac_vyeah21:23
djsiegelit will fall back to what, GNOME?21:24
mac_vyup21:24
djsiegeleww21:24
kwwiia) we make the current panel icons a darker , b) we remove them in the humanity-dark theme for UNR, letting those fall back to gnome21:24
djsiegelwhy?21:24
kwwiiI do admit that it is the easiest solution21:24
DanRabbitbecause Dust is a hybrid theme21:24
djsiegelwhy can't Humanity stay as-is in UNR, the light icons look good on the dark panel21:24
djsiegeloh, ok21:24
DanRabbitit can't use monochrome icons21:24
mac_vdjsiegel: UNR cant use human icons either , and making the icons lighter for UNR , will make them less visible in the apps21:24
DanRabbitright21:24
kwwiiDust will show the light icons in those network manager widgets you showed me earlier21:25
djsiegelSo, UNR is getting Humanity with GNOME panel icons21:25
djsiegelDesktop is getting Humanity with darker icons21:25
mac_vyup21:25
kwwiiright21:25
DanRabbitI need to make a Humanity GTK theme....21:25
djsiegeland why is Humanity + GNOME panel > Humanity + Human panel21:25
kwwiiit is the easiest solution so far, and all our UNR customers got something else anyway :p21:25
mac_vkwwii: UNR devs where any way asking for human icons ;)21:26
djsiegellast thing to do is make /sure/ this is feasible21:26
djsiegelpackaging wise21:26
kwwiidjsiegel: because one is dark and one is light...there is no way to make one set of icons for both21:26
djsiegelgod I hate IRC21:26
kwwiidjsiegel: it is easy, but we have to maintain two sets of icons21:26
kwwiidjsiegel: yeah21:26
djsiegelkwwii: I am not worried about having two sets21:27
kwwiia call would solve this much faster21:27
djsiegelI am worried about it actually working21:27
kwwiidjsiegel: at this point, neither am it21:27
kwwiiok it will work, that is not a problem21:27
djsiegelok21:27
djsiegelI was *told* we have to use the same icon theme in both21:27
djsiegelso I don't know who to believe21:27
djsiegelbut your solution sounds good, kwwii21:27
mac_vdjsiegel: kwwii is the king ;p21:27
djsiegeldarker icons on the desktop, great21:27
knomemac_v, no, sabdfl is the king21:28
dashuaDanRabbit, bzr branch lp:~dashua/hanso/humanitytheme made a hack a few months ago21:28
djsiegelYou can have a dictator and a king21:28
knomedjsiegel, you can go say that to mark21:28
knome;]21:28
mac_vknome: nope , not for black themes , he is not ;p kwwii rocks21:28
knomehmm21:28
dashuaNot my best work, but it was a start21:28
DanRabbithehe21:28
djsiegelknome, I like your nick :)21:28
djsiegellol21:29
mrmcq2u_maybe you guys need to set up an xmpp channel for this type of situation21:29
djsiegelI am breaking out from all this karmic stress21:29
kwwiidjsiegel: who told you that?21:29
knomedjsiegel, hah, thanks ;) i use xfce by the way ;]]21:29
djsiegelkwwii: I think lool21:29
djsiegel\21:29
kwwiiI can imagine that someone might have something against using two sets21:29
mrmcq2u_then you could start a conference call for resolving confusion21:29
kwwiibecause they do not want to have to maintain them21:29
kwwiidjsiegel: I will talk to lool and njpatel...we have until monday :D21:30
mrmcq2u_well nobodies objected so far21:30
djsiegelkwwii: ok :)21:30
knomemrmcq2u_, i like that "so far" part21:30
kwwiione thing I did to make the lighter icons work better was to add a light and dark outline to them, making them seem inset21:30
djsiegelso, I bought Thriller the other day21:31
djsiegeland it's this special anniversary edition21:31
djsiegelit has remixes by Fergie and Kanye21:31
mrmcq2u_http://digg.com/d315ZMz21:31
djsiegelKanye and Fergie add nothing of value to MJ's work21:31
mrmcq2u_"the notification area icons are now all uniform in color and theme which gives it a much more professional feel."21:31
mrmcq2u_:D21:31
djsiegelmrmcq2u_: kwwii mac_v DanRabbit yes, people are really liking humanity21:32
mac_vhehe ;021:32
kwwiimaking the UI bg a bit darker and more saturated might make the difference as well21:32
mac_vdjsiegel: dont worry , , there are haters too ;)21:32
kwwiiDanRabbit: if possible, could you join this channl tomorrow as well?21:33
DanRabbityea no problem21:33

kwwiiDanRabbit, mac_v, djsiegel that link to the panel icons has some idea for simpler icons21:36
kwwiiDanRabbit: that might really help with the contrast issue21:37
kwwiiDanRabbit: we should talk more tomorrow...I can help make/tweak any icons needed21:37
