| knome | hey! | 16:43 |
|---|---|---|
| thorwil | ho! | 16:43 |
| knome | does anybody know any possibilities to theme start.ubuntu.com ? | 16:43 |
| GreySim | knome: For Firefox, the Stylish extension might help you. | 21:43 |
| GreySim | If you just want personal customizations. | 21:44 |
| knome | no, i want derivative-specific customization | 21:48 |
| MadsRH | knome -> Hi | 22:00 |
| knome | hi MadsRH! :) | 22:07 |
| MadsRH | knome -> wanted to ask you about the x-splash in Xubuntu, but I guess I found the answer here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Artwork/Karmic | 22:10 |
| knome | actually i'm just working on it | 22:10 |
| knome | but we have thought your "idea 4" (the fireflys) | 22:10 |
| MadsRH | knome -> Oh..? | 22:12 |
| knome | yeah. | 22:12 |
| knome | it would be hard to achieve but would be kewl | 22:12 |
| knome | you have any ideas how one could accomplish it? | 22:13 |
| MadsRH | knome -> I'm not sure what you mean. | 22:13 |
| MadsRH | You want the firefly as x-splash? | 22:13 |
| knome | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlCVrtgxVcI&hl=en&fs=1&hd=1 | 22:14 |
| knome | this one, we'd love it. | 22:14 |
| MadsRH | But I've already made it available as an actual x-splash! | 22:15 |
| knome | really? where? | 22:15 |
| MadsRH | http://anotherubuntu.blogspot.com/2009/09/karmic-status-and-artwork-update.html | 22:15 |
| knome | didn't know that! | 22:15 |
| MadsRH | knome -> you should visit the forum every now and then ;-) | 22:16 |
| knome | maybe ;) | 22:16 |
| knome | how did you do that png? | 22:16 |
| MadsRH | with evil proprietary software :-$ and "cnn" from the forum helped me put the png images together | 22:18 |
| knome | i'm willing to hear more | 22:18 |
| MadsRH | I know nothing about x-splash, but it simply replaces the current throbber and boom | 22:19 |
| knome | i know that. | 22:19 |
| knome | i want to know more about the png creating process ;) | 22:19 |
| MadsRH | Well, create an animation with a transparent background as export it as PNG's and stick them together using "convert" | 22:23 |
| knome | no no no | 22:23 |
| knome | which software did you use? how did you create that effect? | 22:23 |
| MadsRH | http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7939264&postcount=169 | 22:23 |
| knome | was it hard? | 22:23 |
| MadsRH | nope | 22:24 |
| knome | tell me more :) | 22:24 |
| MadsRH | *** back in 5 | 22:25 |
| knome | ok hehe | 22:25 |
| knome | no pressure ;) | 22:25 |
| MadsRH | knome -> Baby alert – sorry | 22:51 |
| MadsRH | Anyway, I use After Effects | 22:51 |
| knome | okay | 22:52 |
| MadsRH | knome -> I get a lot bashing in the open-source world for using Adobe products, but I know that Canonicals artteam also it, which comforts me. It’s just de facto standard in the graphics business | 22:52 |
| knome | agree | 22:52 |
| knome | could you control the flys or are they random? | 22:53 |
| MadsRH | but what about Xubuntu? should we create something slick for Karmic? | 22:53 |
| knome | yeah, i am thinking a possibility to get some blue fireflys for our xsplash x) | 22:54 |
| knome | or at least see how it would look like | 22:54 |
| MadsRH | random | 22:54 |
| MadsRH | sure | 22:55 |
| MadsRH | So you want blue fireflys on this background? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Artwork/Karmic?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=karmic-wall-07.png | 22:56 |
| knome | yeah | 22:57 |
| knome | something quite saturated and bright, i thin | 22:57 |
| knome | +k | 22:57 |
| MadsRH | but still the same animation as in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StNanFooAu8 | 22:59 |
| knome | the animation can be same, or if you want, you can do another set of sparkles :) | 22:59 |
| MadsRH | knome -> it is easy to just change the color - it's creating the animation that takes time | 23:01 |
| knome | ah, ok, then just change the color | 23:01 |
| MadsRH | Is there still time for something like this to make it in? | 23:01 |
| knome | with xubuntu, there always is | 23:01 |
| knome | ;) | 23:01 |
| MadsRH | he he | 23:02 |
| MadsRH | have you tried the PNG from the blogpost? It might not look bad on the blue background? | 23:03 |
| knome | i'm not running karmic :( | 23:03 |
| MadsRH | oh | 23:03 |
| MadsRH | Nor me | 23:03 |
| knome | i have karmic in vbox so i can test several things | 23:04 |
| knome | but no, havent tried with the orange sparks | 23:04 |
| knome | but i think we want blue sparks even if the orange sparks looked good ;) | 23:04 |
| MadsRH | sure | 23:05 |
| MadsRH | but you can test it? or should I ask "cnn" from the forum? he was very helpful and friendly | 23:07 |
| knome | i can test it, sure | 23:07 |
| MadsRH | okay, fantastic. It's past midnight here and I've got a sick son, so I won't have anything for you tonight. | 23:07 |
| knome | no problem. if you want, you can pop at #xubuntu-devel when you have something :) | 23:08 |
| knome | hope your son gets well soon | 23:08 |
| MadsRH | Oh, I should mention the file size is HUGE compared to the original Canonical one | 23:08 |
| knome | no problem with that either | 23:09 |
| knome | i could see that coming :) | 23:09 |
| MadsRH | he he, I hope so too. | 23:09 |
| MadsRH | I have to ask; sure you want the fireflies and not a running mouse :P | 23:10 |
| knome | YES! :P | 23:10 |
| knome | the running mouse has appeared in ideas | 23:10 |
| knome | and it's always been dumped | 23:10 |
| MadsRH | good thing | 23:11 |
| knome | it is:)) | 23:11 |
| MadsRH | I'll get back to you soon - good night | 23:12 |
| knome | night - and thanks :) | 23:12 |
