djsiegel1mccann: can you tell me a bit about the cosmos backgrounds slideshow?18:57
mccannhi.  such as?18:59
djsiegel1mccann: is there a way to add more slideshows? how does the xml description work? why does the slideshow begin at midnight?19:00
mccanni don't think there are any docs at the moment19:01
mccannwe may do something different for next cycle so19:01
djsiegel1mccann: ok19:01
mccannprobably best to ask around in gnome-hackers19:01
djsiegel1I copied the xml and created a new one19:01
djsiegel1seemed to work19:01
djsiegel1but the animation didn't seem to really kickoff19:01
mccannwhat are you trying to do with it?19:02
djsiegel1just trying to make a new background set that shows each image for a few minutes, then transitions to the next19:02
djsiegel1I am guessing the animation times are in seconds?19:02
djsiegel1I got the new deck of images to show up in the backgrounds prefs19:02
djsiegel1but they don't seem to playback as a slideshow once I set them as my desktop19:03
djsiegel1mccann: I think, in the end, we should do a separate backgrounds preference, and call the current one "advanced appearance prefs" or something19:04
djsiegel1make backgrounds more prominent than themes, desktop effects, fonts, icon placement, etc19:04
mccanni have some plans in this area too19:05
djsiegel1oh let me show you another cool thing19:05
mccannit would be nice if you guys want to work upstream on this next release cycle19:05
mccannthough I know you aren't supposed to ;)19:05

ubot4Gnome bug 599174 in Archives "Split accounts dialog to its own app" [Enhancement,New] 19:07
mccannyeah we talked about that at Summit19:08
mccannthis is part of the work for gnome shell19:08
djsiegel1oh yeah? any concrete plans?19:08
djsiegel1I see19:08
djsiegel1would be really awesome, then designers can really focus on that one configuration application19:09
djsiegel1and people who just want to work on empathy's chat features don't have to worry about it19:09
