ubottuLaunchpad bug 437162 in humanity-icon-theme "Missing monochrome icon for bluetooth applet" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/43716213:10
mac_vthe notification area uses the icon of the app :/13:11
mac_vthats the only app which is misbehaving , hence i used the icon with the lozenge13:11
mac_vno other app[volume,nm,power] does that :/13:12
andreasnrhythmbox behaves correctly?13:12
mac_vandreasn: hehe , for now no app specific icons ;)13:13
mat_tmac_v: so is the bug in the bluetooth applet or in the humanity theme?13:13
mac_vmat_t: bug in bluetooth13:13
mat_tmac_v: bluetooth should not be defining the icon13:13
mac_vthe bug report has the patch too , and it has been sent upstream13:13
mat_tok13:13
mat_tmac_v: the little key for secure networks doesn't seem to work13:14
mac_vmat_t: is it blurry? or.. did not like a key?13:14
mat_tmac_v: it overlaps with some icons13:15
mat_tmac_v: and it's not stylistically coherent13:15
mac_vmat_t: oh , could you show me a screenshot , i tested it with wireless alone13:15
mac_vmat_t: i had first used a lock , but someone said the vpn also uses the same lock , hence i did the key13:16
mat_tmac_v: who suggested using key instead of a lock?13:16
mat_tmac_v: lock is the universally agreed metaphor for secure connections13:16
mac_vmat_t: not kwwii , i forgot who... i think the lock is better too13:16
mat_tmac_v: ok, can we revert to lock then pls?13:17
mat_tmac_v: what does the monitor with blue waves mean?13:17
mac_vsure ... so there is no probs if the vpn and the secure use similar lock?13:17
mac_vmat_t: that is for ad-hoc connection13:18
thorwilmat_t: hi! do you happen to know what the state of matters regarding the countdown banner is? i'd ask newz, but he isn't around13:18
mat_tthorwil: no idea, check with kwwii when he's back13:18
thorwilok13:19
mat_tmac_v: what's the vpn icon look like?13:19
mac_vmat_t: could you check in the apps/24/ folder13:19
mac_vor just a sec13:19
mat_tmac_v: the monitor icon is very confusing, that is the "ad-hoc" connection?13:20
mac_vmat_t: previously, i had a wireless icon similar to the greyscale icon but in color kwwii thought that it might be confusing13:20
mac_vso suggested to use a different icon13:21
mac_vmat_t: ad-hoc is a mobile connection which can be configured or something like that13:21
mat_tmac_v: 99% of users would not understand what this monitor means13:21
mac_vmat_t: the hicolor icon for adhoc , uses just a monitor13:22
mac_vmat_t: blame the nm for showing the icon ;)13:22
mac_vi agree it is confusing too , another user showed the icon13:22
mat_t*sigh*13:22
andreasnlots of icons in nm :)13:22
mac_vmat_t: only when i was shown a screenshot ,  i realized that was for ad-hoc and googled ad-hoc ;)13:23
mat_tmac_v: ok, so let's use a monochrome lock for secure connection and I'll file a bug about this icon13:23
mac_vmat_t: nah no need bug , i'll just fix it ;)13:24
mac_vnow13:24
mat_tmac_v: I mean for the monitor icon13:24
andreasnif you guys want to file bugs on the metaphors used in hicolor, I could take a look at those later on13:25
mac_vmat_t: oh! yeah , that icon is not necessary13:25
mat_tyes13:25
mat_tmac_v: is it a n-m applet bug?13:25
mac_vmat_t: yes13:26
tgpraveenhttp://bayimg.com/GAEjlaACC this is jaunty with humanity icon theme13:40
tgpraveenso its showing colours doesn't this look better than what's in karmic with monochrome theme?13:40
tgpraveenshown for eg in http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=130046&d=125412922813:41
tgpraveenlook especially in the volume icon13:41
mac_vtgpraveen: the theme has been done for Karmic13:44
mac_vand there are no problems with the default settings13:45
tgpraveenmac_v: you mean you like the karmic image icon tray more than the jaunty ones?13:47
mac_vtgpraveen: yup ;) though i did both the color and the greyscale versions ;p13:47
mac_vtgpraveen: the main reason is , the notification is a constant presence , so having colors in the area [though fun] is not needed unless it has to grab your attention13:49
mac_vtgpraveen: therefore only the error icons being in red will make them pop out more and be quickly picked up13:50
tgpraveenhmm..ok I see ur point.13:51
tgpraveenand btw now that I do have your attention. in totem13:51
mac_vtgpraveen: hehe it was not my idea... but i just like the idea the UX had13:52
tgpraveenin fullscreen the volume icon is very small in the bar at the bottom13:52
mac_vtgpraveen: totem uses only that size13:53
tgpraveenmac_v: oh yeah I just checked with human13:56
mac_v;p13:56
tgpraveenit seems so. maybe a bug against totem as it seems there is space available to use a bigger size?13:56
mac_vtgpraveen: sure file it against totem ;) , humanity has the icons in all sizes13:57
tgpraveenalso after all the complaints I must add that it seems humanity is really really cool and will give a must needed facelift to ubuntu. eg in totem now that play icon is of different colour than the fwd/bkd and other icons it gives prominence to it and improves the overall look13:57
tgpraveengood job. thanks :)13:57

tgpraveen1mac_v: when copying files in the notification area the icon which appears to represt file transfer is same as the folder icon with a mouse shouldn't this be something different16:30
tgpraveen1? which tells about file transfer?16:30
mac_vtgpraveen1:  isnt a mouse over a folder an action? example of something to replace it with?16:35
tgpraveen1um.. maybe something like one folder behind another folder16:36
tgpraveen1or a file behind a file and16:36
tgpraveen1also16:36
tgpraveen1same icon is being used for16:36

d6gmac_v: just did some hack on gnome-bluetooth's source code, it seems not hard to use a "bluetooth-enalbed" status icon16:37
mac_vtgpraveen1: folder over folder > already used for folder copy , file over file > copy16:37
mac_vd6g: awesome :) , does the icon now work in the panel for you ?16:37
d6gyes, i created a bluetooth-enabled icon manually and now system tray and menu will use different icons16:38
mac_vd6g: coudl you ask in #ubuntu-desktop who the maintainer for gnome-bluetooth is and see if we can push your patch :)16:40
mac_vcould*16:40
d6gsure16:40
tgpraveen1mac_v: well folder copy or file copy does better represent file transfer so yeah it would be a better sutied icon in the notification area , no?16:40
tgpraveen1mac_v: and also same icon for that(file operations) and for folder in panel  seems odd?16:41
mac_vtgpraveen1: AFAIK that icon is used for , *all* file operations , delete and other things too16:41
mac_vso is your idea applied to that too?16:41
mac_vin the notification area an also on top of the window , the same icon is used16:42
mac_vtgpraveen1: there is already a bug , to rename the notification area icon16:43
darkmatteris there a bug to change the 'resistor' for a wired network to something that at least remotely resembles and ethernet cable ? :P16:45
mac_vdarkmatter: pls no :(   hehe ;p16:45
darkmatter:P16:45
mac_vdarkmatter: that similar icon is used in firefox , thunderbird , and evolution to denote connection state... hence it might not be tood bad ;)16:46
tgpraveen1I think there is some confusion here. so let me state everything clearly. there are 2 issues . 1. the currently used icon does not at all depict file operations and as you said the folder behind folder or file behind file would ideally dpeict file operations and hence it should be used in the notification area16:46
tgpraveen12. the currently used icon in the notification area for file operation16:47
tgpraveen1is same as the icon used in the panel with the window list when nautilius is minimized while viewing a folder and hence too some thing must be changed16:47
tgpraveen13. the icon used in the panel with the window list when nautilius is minimized while viewing a folder and hence too some thing must be changed is using a folder with mouse arrow. I really don't understand why the arrow is present in this case a simple folder icon would be more suited for this purpose. don't you think?16:48
mac_vtgpraveen1: there is a bug on lp asking for the naming change , cold you comment this on the bug?16:48
mac_vcould*16:48
darkmattermac_v: well. if maybe they swung it 45 degrees or so.. it looks... odd... as is on the panel and doesn't really seem to fit (partially because of the angle. since the image goes corner to corner, it actually seems larger than the rest)16:49

mac_vtgpraveen1: anyway , i didnt do that icon ;)   so you are better of convincing Daniel about this :)16:55

SiDiive been having a bad time trying to figure how to theme combobox entries in gdm...18:19
mac_vwe made the icons dark for human theme and for Ubunutu , right? so now the panel icons are more not clear in Dust... so we had yesterday decided to split the panel icons and make them lighter for Dust and UNR , and name the panel icon theme Humanit_dark with inherits Humanity18:19

SiDibasically, the combobox entries remain white, even if i put EVERYTHING in my theme to dark...18:21

mac_vmat_t:  i think they are 24px18:22
SiDimat_t: the "panel" looks like its about 28px, so the icons should be between 22 and 26 :P18:22
SiDimost likely 24 :P18:22
mat_tok, I'll make them at 2418:22
mac_vmat_t: could you check the latest rev of humanity and check how the ad-hoc looks?18:23
mac_vanything scarier than that would need a skull and bones ;p18:23
kwwiimat_t: I would make them at 2218:24
kwwiiif they need to be 24 we can add padding18:24
mat_tmac_v: I can't see it, can you upload a screenshot?18:24
mat_tkwwii: ok, no probs18:24
kwwiiSiDi: the colors in the login theme are often hard-coded18:24
mac_vmat_t: i dont have an ad-hoc nearby... you could just do a bzr pull from the humanity folder18:25
SiDi(i meant hardcoded in GDM's source, kwwii )18:25
mac_vthe one you just downloaded18:25
SiDiwe use Albatross as our GDM theme and i can only change the panel itself's color ...18:25
mat_tmac_v: I did, but the icon does not display anymore...18:25
kwwiiSiDi: does the gtkrc define colors at the top?18:25
SiDiyes18:25
kwwiiouch, freaky18:25
mac_vmat_t: oh , so that network , might have been , out of range :/18:26
SiDiyeah...18:26
kwwiiit has to work or the humanlogin wouldn't work18:26
kwwiiit would be using black text18:26
SiDiive tried every class name with some sexy * everywhere, and only that panel gets themed18:26
SiDii'll read gdm's source18:26
kwwiiSiDi: what are you trying to change?18:26
SiDibut im disappointed by the lack of documentation...18:26
kwwiiexactly18:26
SiDikwwii: the combobox entries' background + foreground18:26
mac_vmat_t: could you check the icon in the folder , Humanity/status/24/nm-adhoc18:26
kwwiioh, that is typical of gnome these days ;)18:26
SiDiits black on white atm, but our panel is dark18:26
kwwiiSiDi: it works fine with the humanlogin theme, I cannot understand why it wouldn't work for you18:27
SiDime neither, kwwii :(18:27
kwwiithe gtkrc might use hard-coded colors18:27
kwwiieven though they define them at the top18:27
SiDii'll boot later in gdm and try to sort this out :P18:28
kwwiiSiDi: combobox bg is the base(bg)18:28
SiDis/in gdm/in karmic/18:28
SiDiwhat a **** great idea they had to use custom names for all their gtk widgets...18:29
mat_tmac_v: hm, didn't seem to make any change... can you email it to me?18:34
mac_vmat_t: email takes too long ;p ... here > http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1325768/nm-adhoc.svg18:35
zniavreSiDi,  http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/3742/capturewk.png18:36
mat_tmac_v: I don't think this solves the confusion... In essence, it's a security issue... How about a lock with the warning triangle?18:37
mat_tIt needs to be *very* subtle18:38
mac_vmat_t:  its a 24 px icon , adding more items would make the icon less useful :(18:38
mac_vsorry not less useful , less recognizble18:39
psyke83folks, who's asking about the combobox theming?18:39
psyke83you need to set up special matches for these cases - look at the bottom of the Human theme for reference18:39
mat_tmac_v: I meant *just* lock and triangle18:39
mac_vmat_t: hmm... but then , it wouldnt indicate a wireless connection18:40
mac_vis that ok?18:40
mat_tmac_v: well, it *is* a wireless connection, because it's in the menu called "Wireless Networks" ;)18:40
mac_v;p18:40
mat_tand we already have the wireless strength icon18:41
mac_vyeah ,then18:41
=== d6g|away is now known as d6g
mac_vmat_t: how about using the gtk-warning icon?18:41
psyke83SiDi: see "murrine-combobox-text-color-workaround", "murrine-menuitem-text-is-fg-color-workaround" and possibly some other special cases18:42
mat_tmac_v: what icon is it?18:42
mac_vmat_t: a red circle , with an exclamation mark18:43
SiDipsyke83: zniavre ty18:43
SiDiwill look at this18:43
mat_tmac_v: that will be too shouty18:43
mac_vmat_t: how about a blue circle with an exclamation mark ?18:44
mac_vsince the signal strength and the encryption state will already be shown to the right of the icon18:46
mac_vthe lock is not needed and just a exclamation mark might be enough18:47
mat_thow would you know that there's a security issue?18:47
mac_vhmm...18:47
mat_texcl mark only tells you "there's an issue"18:47
mac_vmat_t: how about adding a zorro mask ;p ? with the exclamation mark?18:49
mac_vprowler alert!18:49
mac_vmat_t: or something like this > http://www.iconfinder.net/icondetails/15216/128/?q=thief with an exclamation mark18:51
psyke83kwwii: you've darkened the gradient on the titlebar, that's one of the changes?18:55
=== d6g is now known as d6g|away
kwwiipsyke83: that was an old change which will be reverted when I put your suggested changed in19:01
psyke83kwwii: ok, so you only want to preserve the changes to the buttons and icons?19:02
psyke83let me show you the diff that I'm looking at19:02
psyke83kwwii: http://pastebin.com/m3854683a19:03
psyke83kwwii, so, the changes marked from line 154 are necessary?19:04
psyke83I'm pretty sure that all the other changes are to lighten the border, etc19:04
mat_tmac_v: hmmmmm, no19:10
mat_t:P19:10
mac_vmat_t: just realized , ! that icon will be used elsewhere alone too :(19:10
mac_vso the indication that its a wireless and and a network must also be present..19:11
mac_vgrrr.....! nm applet does the craziest stuff!19:11
mac_vd6g|away: nice keyboard icon :)19:19
kwwiipsyke83: right, exactly19:48
kwwiiwe do not want the little app icons back in the window deco19:48
psyke83kwwii: I already fixed that, but the prelight for the round icon was missing. I added that back, will send to you in a few mins19:48
mac_vkwwii: ping me when you are available :)19:50
kwwiipsyke83: yeah, I think I need to make an extra icon for that as well19:58
kwwiimac_v: re19:58
kwwiiI feel like I have been running around all afternoon and evening19:58
kwwiiwait, I have been running around all afternoon and evening :p19:58
* kwwii boots into karmic19:58
mac_v;)20:00
* kwwii pops open a well deserved beer20:01
mac_vkwwii: hey hows your son?20:01
mac_vhow's20:01
kwwiimac_v: good, hopefully the next pill he takes will put him to sleep :p20:02
mac_vlol20:02
kwwiimac_v: so are the icon changes already in karmic?20:03
mac_vkwwii: no, they are waiting for you :)20:03
kwwiipsyke83: let me know which stuff is the latest...I can't keep track anymore :p20:04
kwwiimac_v: ok, so where can I get the latest?20:04
psyke83kwwii: sending to your e-mail in 2 mins :). If there's a better place to send, let me know20:04
kwwiipsyke83: that would be perfect20:04
kwwiiI have to copy everything to my test machine, which often ends up being a good excuse to put it off for a while :p20:05
mac_vkwwii:  $bzr branch lp:humanity20:06
kwwiimac_v: ok, it'S downloading updates, this will take a few minutes20:07
kwwiimac_v: is that the packaged version?20:07
mac_vno, the lates revs , with better contrast20:08
psyke83kwwii: sent, it's the final reply with the metacity and gtkrc together ;)20:08
kwwiiok, cool20:08
kwwiipsyke83: excellent, thanks (and sorry for having to be my secretary)20:08
psyke83kwwii: I increased the gloss effect *slightly*. I know you're not a big fan, but it's kinda subtle, and it does use the glowstyle 4 which you like to diffuse the centre part20:09
kwwiipsyke83: cool, I'll test it out and get back to you asap20:10
psyke83also, it's an advantage to have higher gloss with the coloured widgets (progressbars, scrollbars), because of the darker brown20:10
kwwiihave to install bzr, etc. to check the icons out :(20:10
kwwiipsyke83: got it20:12
kwwiipsyke83: the metacity now has a larger brown outline, is that on purpose?20:18
kwwiithere seems to be a line in the middle of the outside border as well...a difference in the browns20:19
psyke83kwwii: yes, I wanted your feedback on the gradient (it's easier to see with a large outline). If you like the gradient, you can reduce the outline size20:19
psyke83kwwii: yep, that is deliberate20:19
kwwiiI like the gradient in the top, not so much on the sides20:19
kwwiion my small monitor it is very prominent20:19
psyke83kwwii: there's two gradients there, would you prefer just one?20:20
psyke83the first gradient is the first third of the sides, the second is the remaining two thirds20:20
kwwiipsyke83: yeah, the whole outside border would be better with just one gradient20:20
kwwiialthough I am not sure if we should make such a large change after beta20:21
kwwiipsyke83: one decision that came down the line to me was that we should not use a colored scrollbar20:21
psyke83ok, so will we bring back the original grey scrollbar and set the trough to 0?20:22
kwwiialso, I have been playing with making the bg color something around e5d8cb20:22
kwwiiwell, that might be too dark but something around there20:23
psyke83I like that bg color on my laptop, but let me check the desktop20:23
psyke83(much different colour reproduction between the two :P)20:23
psyke83yes, I like that20:24
psyke83I would have gone for something similar, but figured that such a shift wouldn't be approved20:24
psyke83kwwii: re: the scrollbar, it's possible to keep it in the current style, but shade it to something else, such as 80% of the @bg_color, for example20:26
psyke83the biggest problem with the murrine engine, imho, is that the standard uncoloured scrollbar is not distinct from its background, and the background can't be themed20:27
kwwiipsyke83: right, that was the idea...to make it a darker version of bg[NORMAL]20:27
kwwiipsyke83: right, just making it grey makes it unnoticeable20:27
psyke83kwwii: do you want to hammer out these changes, or will I do it and send back to you?20:28
kwwiipsyke83: I can work on it for a while, see where I get20:28
kwwiiI'll send you anything that I get done20:28
psyke83excellent, thanks20:28
psyke83you're using the newest stuff as your base though, right?20:29
kwwiiglad to help you help me :D20:29
kwwiiyes20:29
psyke83actually, do you want me to fix up the metacity? I know exactly what part to change for the gradient20:29
kwwiipsyke83: sure, feel free...I'll stick to gtk for now20:31
kwwiimac_v: ok, I got the icons20:31
kwwiimac_v: how are you installing this? just copying over the old ones?20:31
mac_vkwwii: yeah20:32
kwwiiouch, not my favorite way, but ok20:33
mac_vkwwii: also > http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1325768/Humanity-Dark.tar.gz20:33
mac_vextract that folder for testing the Dark theme with Dust20:33
mac_vthat to folder*20:34
SiDi`Laptopkwwii, any idea how to remove / theme the shadow color of the header text in the update-manager ? :D20:34
kwwiimac_v: ok, so the ones in bzr are the normal ones for the desktop, right?20:34
mac_vyup , bzr = Ubuntu20:34
kwwiiSiDi`Laptop: I have no idea which header text you mean20:34
SiDi`Laptop"software updates available..."20:35
psyke83kwwii: I have another idea re: the metacity. I'll show you a screenshot in a sec20:35
SiDi`Laptophttp://emonk.fi/temp/updatemanager_gtk.png20:35
kwwiiSiDi`Laptop: ohhh, wow...that cannot be right20:35
kwwiiSiDi`Laptop: my guess is that something like that is a hard-coded hack20:36
SiDi`Laptopkwwii, thats my guess too /D20:36
kwwiimac_v: how are you updating the icon cache and such when you copy icons in?20:36
mac_vhm , never did that :(20:37
kwwiiok, gotta restart my desktop...brb20:37
mac_vbut without that also works fine here20:37
SiDi`Laptopkwwii, thanks ! i found it20:39
SiDi`Laptopits an unexpectable side effect of some hardcoded value for xfwm's borders x_x20:40
kwwiimac_v: hrm, something in karmic just killed the volume and network applets20:40
SiDi`Laptopapparently the shadow of insensitive text is taken from metacity-frame's insensitive color :p20:40
kwwiiSiDi`Laptop: freaky20:40
mac_vkwwii: yeah , the volume and nm are crazy :/20:40
kwwiime restarts the whole machine, brb20:40
SiDi`Laptopkwwii, its probably because they put that text in the gtk window itself directly20:41
mac_vSiDi`Laptop: you are talking to his bot ;p20:41
mac_vhe is rebooting20:41
SiDi`Laptopi like talking to bots20:42
SiDi`Laptopthey're so rarely mean20:42
SiDi`Laptop:D20:42
psyke83folks, opinions on which is better please: two gradients to choose from: gradient 1 (top dark to light bottom): http://img527.imageshack.us/i/gradient1.png/ - OR - gradient 2 (top dark to light centre, light centre to dark bottom): http://img121.yfrog.com/img121/6965/gradient2.png20:46
mac_vpsyke83: hmm, why the thick border?20:48
mac_vtoo think on the sides, IMO20:48
psyke83mac_v, the border will be reduced, it's thick to help choose the better gradient20:48
mac_vthick*20:48
mac_voh ok :)20:48
SiDi`LaptopWheres the gradient to look at ?20:49
kwwiimac_v: much better20:49
SiDi`Laptopoh, metacity20:49
psyke83SiDi`Laptop, the metacity window decoration, the vertical strip on the left and right sides20:49
SiDi`Laptoppsyke83, i prefer the 1st, i think20:49
SiDi`Laptopbut its because the bottom of the second is quite dark20:50
kwwiipsyke83: I like gradient2.png better20:50
SiDi`Laptopmaybe make the bottom of the second slightly lighter ?20:50
mac_vpsyke83: maybe a crazy idea , how about reversing gradient of 1  , ie: top light and botom dark ;)20:50
psyke83SiDi`Laptop: we can lighten the bottom20:50
kwwiipsyke83: but I agree that the border is a bit too thick20:50
psyke83kwwii: definitely will reduce the border, but it helps us see things better for now20:50
kwwiipsyke83: cool, and true20:50
mac_vpsyke83: not the same shade a the present lower edge but a bit darker20:51
mac_v shade of the*20:51
psyke83mac_v: it's not really possible to do it light to dark from the top, because it won't match the titlebar20:51
psyke83it needs to start the same colour as the titlebar on top20:52
mac_vpsyke83: oh , i meant lightening th title bar too20:52
mac_vthe*20:52
psyke83mac_v: any lighter and it'll be identical to Human in Jaunty20:52
mac_v;)20:53
psyke83AFAIK we want it much darker for Karmic20:53
mac_voh , ok20:53
psyke83right Ken?20:53
ia hello. could you tell me, please, where (in system) i can find grub boot picture (which can be seen after boot menu, but before gdm appears) - white lightning ubuntu logo on black background.20:53
knomeia, that's either usplash or xsplash20:54
mac_via: /usr/share/images/xsplash20:54
psyke83kwwii: so we'll use gradient 2, but do you want the gradient darker or lighter in any place?20:55
kwwiimac_v: looks good to me20:55
kwwiiseems to be enough contrast20:55
kwwiiboth light and dark20:56
kwwiiwell done :)20:56
mac_vkwwii: thanks :)20:56
mac_vmy whole weekend was spent on this :(20:56
kwwiihehe20:56
kwwiibut is was *fun*20:56
kwwii:p20:56
mac_vfiguring out where to use the color and where not20:56
mac_v;p20:56
mac_vkwwii: so now we need to push this.. so how do we set it up? a separate branch in lp20:57
mac_vfor the dark icons20:58
kwwiimac_v: a different project20:58
kwwiior sub-project if that is possible20:58
mac_vsub20:58
mac_vwoulb be better i think20:58
mac_vDanRabbit: ^20:58
DanRabbitOkay, how do you do that?20:59
DanRabbitnew project?20:59
kwwiiI don't think it is possible to make a sub20:59
kwwiiso it would have to be a new project21:00
kwwiiyou could do it in a branch, but that would get nasty21:00
kwwiiand since you cannot merge them anyway21:00
mac_vi think is we just have these panel icons in the separate theme , it would save space21:00
kwwiijust make a new project21:00
mac_vs/is/if21:00
kwwiisure, just put those in21:00
mac_vah!21:00
kwwiiif they were all packaged there would be a dependency on the other theme package21:00
mac_vDanRabbit: like how you did the Humanity-UNR21:01
mac_vdanielgc: just label it Humanity-Dark21:01
kwwiiright21:01
psyke83kwwii and folks, how's this? Gradient 2 with smaller borders: http://yfrog.com/3zgradient2smallborderp21:01
DanRabbitkwwii: i'm just worried that it's going to be hard to maintain both sets21:01
mac_vDanRabbit: once done , i'll add these icons and the icon at my end and remove the ones not needed21:02
DanRabbitokay21:02
kwwiiDanRabbit: yes, that is the biggest problem21:02
kwwiiif it was just the dark versions, you could simply include a script to copy them over the ones from the "real" theme21:02
kwwiibut really, you want to keep all of this packaged in bzr, if you ask me21:02
DanRabbitokay mac_v, kwwii: icons are now located in lp:humanitydark21:07
DanRabbitor they will in a second ;)21:08
DanRabbitslow internet.21:08
kwwiicool21:08
mac_vDanRabbit: so thats now just a duplicate of the present humanity right?21:08
DanRabbitright21:08
kwwiimac_v: can you take of getting this included in the distro or would you like me to do it?21:08
mac_vkwwii: i'm not sure how to do it21:09
kwwiiie asking the right people the right questions :)21:09
mac_vkwwii: lool and other will say ,what did kwwiii say , s i the end you'd be needed either way ;)21:09
mac_vothers*21:09
kwwiimac_v: ok, it is late now, most are probably gone...tomorrow morning we'll ask in seb and pitti and lool in ubuntu-desktop21:09
kwwiilol, probably21:09
mac_vkwwii: seb has come21:09
mac_vDanRabbit: would it be better having a hyphen? humanity-dark?21:12
kwwiimac_v: not sure if they will respond tonight, but you saw #ubuntu-desktop, they should be aware21:13
kwwiiand will probably need a reminder :p21:13
DanRabbityea, I'll add it in after the first push21:13
mac_vkwwii: thats enough ;)21:13
kwwiiwhatever changes you make, make them before they are included in the distro21:15
kwwiiwe can only ask for uploads once or twice21:15
psyke83kwwii: update sent for you to play with (smaller borders, gradient 2) :P21:18
kwwiipsyke83: cool, thanks21:20
psyke83no problem21:20
kwwiigetting these colors right is *really* hard21:20
kwwiiI hate orange and brown21:20
psyke83kwwii: imho, e5d8cb is close... I like it21:20
kwwiipsyke83: yeah, it is close, but not perfect21:21
kwwiigetting it perfect is really hard21:21
psyke83kwwii: spending too much time makes you "colourblind", too :P. You'll find a colour that looks great, then take a break from the PC and return to a horrible colour on the screen21:27
kwwiino doubt21:27
kwwiiat suse I did green for 7 years...I hated it21:27
kwwiiand now I hate orange21:27
kwwiiI am slowly running out of colors :p21:28
psyke83you'll soon grow to despise brown :)21:28
psyke83well you have two primary colours left - red (red hat) and blue (fedora). Do you want to work for the community or a company in your next job? :P21:29
SiDi`Laptopkwwii, join xubuntu and do some blue21:35
kwwii:p21:35
kwwiiredhat offered me a job about a year ago21:36
kwwiiSiDi`Laptop: kubuntu keeps saying the same thing :)21:40
SiDi`Laptopour blue palette is sweeter !21:40
kwwii:)21:40
SiDi`Laptopknome is torturing me21:45
SiDi`Laptopi have a math course at 8AM tomorrow, a very very important one21:45
SiDi`Laptopand he's making me change colors in our gtkrc21:45
SiDi`Laptopexactly the opposite of what he made me do before :(21:45
knomeNOT!21:46
kwwiiif you don't go back and forth at least 3 times the colors won't look as good21:51
kwwiithat is a well known fact21:51
knomekwwii is SO right! :)21:51
kwwiiandreasn: hey, being the icon master you are...check out the latest humanity icon set on lp (bzr branch lp:humanity) with the new, improved darker panel notification icons. Enough contrast on a light-colored panel?21:56
andreasnkwwii, sure, I'll check it out first thing tomorrow21:59
kwwiiandreasn: cool, thnx22:01
andreasnkwwii, I've only tried it out on karmic trunk(?) so far, but it looks nice in general22:10
andreasnwe also need to figure out these notification icons, got a mail from mpt about a idea he had22:10
dashuamac_v, http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/25928/screenshot_zStyQa.png22:11
dashuaHumanity-Dark <322:11

andreasnkwwii, should I forward the e-mail?22:12
DanRabbitdashua: that's hot22:12
mac_vdashua: glad you like it :)   thanks to kwwii ,we are able to use it...22:13
mac_vDavid *almost* sent the mail to have those icons removed :(22:14
dashuaDanRabbit, Thx :)22:14
dashuaAndrewSB on this channel?22:14
SiDi`LaptopDanRabbit, elementaryXubuntu is a name you're ok with, for our icon theme in xub ?22:14

DanRabbithaha22:16
knome22:16
kwwiiandreasn: yeah, or ubuntu dot com22:16
mrmcq2u_hmmm.... the stones wallpaper seems to flow better when the brown xsplash like gdm background is used. Less contast than the brown to orange22:18
kwwiitrue22:19
andreasnsent!22:19
mac_vmrmcq2u_: but i find the present default wallpaper giving out a very cheerful vibe :)22:20
mac_vlets change the gdm ;p22:20
mac_vmat will kill me22:20
mrmcq2u_Well the gdm uses the orange atm but I like the one with the xsplash minus ubuntu logo+throbber bg with the new gdm gtk theme.22:23
mrmcq2u_and with the stones bg it transitions really really smoothly22:23
DanRabbitthe orange GDM is really ugly :(22:24
kwwiiture22:24
kwwiilol22:24
kwwiitrue22:24
kwwiiand lol22:24
DanRabbitThe black/brown one is very sexy :)22:24
kwwiitime for sleep22:24
DanRabbitnight kwwii22:24
psyke83kwwii: maybe I'm crazy, but the brown scrollbar seems a lot more comfortable to me with the combination of the new background colour and the new metacity. Maybe they will decide to keep it if they see the latest version of the themes?22:24
kwwiino more major changes after beta, ok?22:24
kwwiipsyke83: I doubt it22:24
psyke83kwwii: ok :)22:24
kwwiithey really want it to be darker grey22:24
psyke83kwwii: that's fine, so that's your job :)22:25

DanRabbitpsyke83, where can I get the latest rev for the new GTK theme?22:25
psyke83DanRabbit: from my thread on the Ubuntu forums. Ken's going to finish the rest, but this is what we have so far: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8021558&postcount=11422:26
DanRabbitawesome, thanks ;)22:26
psyke83np ;)22:27
mac_vDanRabbit: sue psyke83 for copyright infringement ;p22:28
DanRabbitHAHA, I think he was actually first?22:28
psyke83first with what?22:28
DanRabbitAlso, isn't it like fate that the new GTK and icons are both called Humanity?22:29
psyke83ah right, haha22:29
psyke83I wasn't aware of the Humanity icons when I named the gtk theme, sorry ;)22:29
mac_vpsyke83: so then ...sue DanRabbit  for copyright infringement22:29
mac_v;p22:29
DanRabbit;)22:29
psyke83it was just a temporary name to signify it was unofficial, but Ken ended up using the theme as official22:29
mac_voh.! so human -> humanity?22:30
psyke83I'll confer with my lawyers first, I need to know your assets and debts first :P22:30
DanRabbithmm22:30
DanRabbitit's a little pink ;)22:30
psyke83mac_v: well, look at the first post of the thread - the theme with the orange scrollbars etc was in karmic officially. Only in the past few days did Ken tell me that the Canonical folks wanted dark brown, so I adjusted the theme, and he took that22:31
