[11:43]  * MacSlow -> lunch
[16:31]  * hyperair notes a lot of activity on the ayatana list recently
[18:57] <djsiegel1> mccann: hey
[18:57] <djsiegel1> mccann: can you tell me a bit about the cosmos backgrounds slideshow?
[18:59] <mccann> hi.  such as?
[19:00] <djsiegel1> mccann: is there a way to add more slideshows? how does the xml description work? why does the slideshow begin at midnight?
[19:01] <mccann> i don't think there are any docs at the moment
[19:01] <mccann> we may do something different for next cycle so
[19:01] <djsiegel1> mccann: ok
[19:01] <mccann> probably best to ask around in gnome-hackers
[19:01] <djsiegel1> I copied the xml and created a new one
[19:01] <djsiegel1> seemed to work
[19:01] <djsiegel1> but the animation didn't seem to really kickoff
[19:02] <mccann> what are you trying to do with it?
[19:02] <djsiegel1> just trying to make a new background set that shows each image for a few minutes, then transitions to the next
[19:02] <djsiegel1> I am guessing the animation times are in seconds?
[19:02] <djsiegel1> I got the new deck of images to show up in the backgrounds prefs
[19:03] <djsiegel1> but they don't seem to playback as a slideshow once I set them as my desktop
[19:04] <djsiegel1> mccann: I think, in the end, we should do a separate backgrounds preference, and call the current one "advanced appearance prefs" or something
[19:04] <djsiegel1> make backgrounds more prominent than themes, desktop effects, fonts, icon placement, etc
[19:05] <mccann> i have some plans in this area too
[19:05] <djsiegel1> oh let me show you another cool thing
[19:05] <mccann> it would be nice if you guys want to work upstream on this next release cycle
[19:05] <mccann> though I know you aren't supposed to ;)
[19:07] <djsiegel1> https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599174
[19:07] <ubot4> Gnome bug 599174 in Archives "Split accounts dialog to its own app" [Enhancement,New] 
[19:08] <mccann> yeah we talked about that at Summit
[19:08] <mccann> this is part of the work for gnome shell
[19:08] <djsiegel1> oh yeah? any concrete plans?
[19:08] <djsiegel1> I see
[19:09] <djsiegel1> would be really awesome, then designers can really focus on that one configuration application
[19:09] <djsiegel1> and people who just want to work on empathy's chat features don't have to worry about it
[20:12] <mac_v> mccann: hi... i heard you plan or are thinking about implementing the -symbolic icons > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-store/+bug/433858/comments/3  any hopes of seeing that soon? :)
