=== mac__v is now known as mac_v [09:39] so now we have a first submission in Incoming/Lucid: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Lucid/Kioo [09:40] yet no attachments. kinda makes it hard to critique [09:41] :o) [09:42] nm... found it on gnome look... and... err... NO [09:43] http://www.gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/114524-1.png [09:46] * mac_v wonders whats "glassy" about that ;p [09:46] thorwil: hrm, I get a 503 error on that link [09:47] kwwii: lol , it just worked a few mins ago... not its down ;) [09:47] wow, the whole wiki is down it seems [09:47] kwwii: i just had an X crash. now that page doesn't load here [09:48] mac_v: I'm still trying to think of a constructive criticism on that, because if I speak my mind I'll sound like an insensitive ahole :P [09:48] kwwii: wasn't much to see there, anyway :) [09:48] :p [09:49] darkmatter: good job ;p [09:49] darkmatter: is there a way to change specific colors when the theme changes? like the blue color used for links in the "appearances" window? [09:50] the blue becomes hasrh when the background is dark :/ [09:50] harsh* [09:50] thorwil: you mean finding a screenie on gnome-look? wasn't hard. it's even more a 'sticks out like a sore thumb' entry than the usual content :P [09:51] darkmatter: no, your formulation to mac_v [09:52] mac_v: yeah, using symbolic colors and the appropriate widget. just a sec. I can't remember the name/class for the html links [09:59] mac_v: http://pastebin.ca/1647610 put that after the initial cruft in the gtkrc (padding/color/etc) [10:00] mac_v: I haven't tried yet, but it *should* be possible to do that in symbolic colors [10:04] mac_v: like... say: GnomeHRef::link_color  = shade (.8, @selected_bg_color) should work the same as it does for text label et al [10:05] GnomeHRef::link_color ="#E6DDD5" [10:05] GtkIMHtmlr::hyperlink-color ="#E6DDD5" [10:05] i tried this^ .. but didnt work :( [10:06] hmmm... odd.. maybe theres a change in the latest gtk.. hang on [10:08] ahhh... they added in a menagerie of others. stupid app developers :P [10:09] * mac_v curses devs... especially the OOo ones :/ [10:11] mac_v: http://pastebin.ca/1647619 [10:11] some apps even hard-code the link color ;) [10:11] crappy OOo guys decided to use the gtk entry text color for the status bar , but use the background color for the base :/ [10:13] mac_v: if it doesn't work with that rats nest, try wrapping it in a [10:13] style "yourlinksfsckingsuck" [10:13] { [10:13] } [10:13] class "GtkWidget" style "gtkblows" type thing :P [10:13] darkmatter: .. the pastebin stuff works ... yeah [10:14] darkmatter: thanks... /me no more eye sore \o/ [10:14] mac_v: I think thats most of them, although I may have missed several billion useless widgets :P [10:14] and your welcome [10:16] mac_v: I'll never understand why we need 70,000 widgets for hyperlinks /facepalm [10:23] I can understand a three states. normal/prelight/beentheredonethat, possibly even one set for widgets and one for html (like in yelp), but this pick-and-choose--your-widget-or-avoid-standardization-and-hardcode-your-own mentality is.. odd [10:26] darkmatter: don't forget keyboard selections and such [10:27] kwwii: opps, yeah. need to ass another thousand widgets :P [10:27] add* [10:27] that would have been a Freudian gtk comment xD [10:28] just wanted to ask for a how-to ass widgets [10:28] lol [10:48] hmmm... I wonder if I should hack on na-tray.c tonight or wait until I'm more awake> === wersdaluv is now known as wers [11:25] mac_v: seen bug #450398 yet? [11:25] Launchpad bug 450398 in indicator-applet "The "unread messages" appearance of the tray icon is not noticeable enough in Karmic" [Wishlist,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/450398 [11:28] kwwii: the proposed one is the new messages icon > http://launchpadlibrarian.net/32981203/comparing-icons.png [11:28] kwwii: its just users are accustomed to the color changes they find it different [11:28] mac_v: so maybe it would be best to make it green somehow? [11:29] hmmm :/ [11:30] kwwii: i'm not sure why it needs to be green... the icon is clearly different from the "no new"... it is recognizable when it changes so then why color is essential? [11:32] kwwii: btw ,there was a bug filed even when the human theme used color ;p Bug #392265 [11:32] mac_v: teh question is whether the difference is enough to draw your eye [11:32] Launchpad bug 392265 in hundredpapercuts "Indicator-applet icon for "new message" is too visually similar too the default icon" [Low,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/392265 [11:34] kwwii: the whole change to the notification area was to *not* draw attention unless there is something urgent to do , the users get notifications to notify new IM/messages [11:35] mac_v: very good point...but what about emails? [11:36] kwwii: emails are the new snail mail ;p so there is nothing urgent about them [11:38] mac_v: ok, I guess you're right [11:38] kwwii: :) , i'm commenting on the bug with screenshots [11:39] mac_v: excellent, thanks ;) [11:45] oooh, just saw this: http://atkarus.bestfreewallpaper.net/atkarusdesigns/?p=1&nggpage=10&pageid=1 [11:48] and I wonder if we should put this on the wiki somewhere: http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=84808&d=1221043171 [11:49] the icon library [11:49] works pretty well, maybe someone would work on it to improve it ;) [11:51] kwwii: a mention in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation/Software ? [11:52] * mac_v wonders if kwwii was hiding under a rock > https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-art/2009-September/011307.html [11:52] aw.. thorwil too ... :( [11:53] mac_v: no, i actually started to recall that there was something on the list [11:53] yay , \o/ atleast someone reads the mail i send ;p [11:54] shouldn't be floating around in a .zip [11:54] mac_v: yeah, sometimes i forget to check who's sending before i start to read ;p [11:55] mac_v: no, but I just saw it on my desktop and remembered that I wanted to do something about it :p [11:55] * mac_v TODO : now has to find a new identity [11:55] kwwii: do you have the link to the forum? [11:55] thorwil: yeah, and perhaps a better place to put it at [11:56] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=912934&highlight=icon+library [11:56] kwwii: how many objects are on your desktop? :) [11:56] thorwil: a *lot* [11:56] and I have a very large monitor ;) [11:57] kwwii: thorwil: it was a totally accidental find ;) i helped the author for someother stuff about in ubuntu+1 and then i asked something about the human ethernet icon on the panel , [11:57] the one i helped turned out to be the author of the icon-library ;p [11:59] has anyone played with epidermis before? [11:59] is there any way to eliminate the gaps to the left of v. scrollbars (with murrine)? [11:59] kwwii: you mean the real epidermis? o.0 or some software ? [12:00] http://epidermis.tuxfamily.org/ [12:00] the epidermis is to ticklish to play with [12:00] ^ that's why really serious play requires you to get out of it!! [12:02] :p [12:12] it should be possible to transplant the new-wave scrollbars into the human theme, right? [12:15] thorwil: yup [12:30] http://www.flickr.com/photos/jakubsteiner/4052840323/ <--- awesome [12:57] hmm, strange things are happening with this transplant [13:17] any suggestions why i get that stroke at the center of the scrollbar button? http://i34.tinypic.com/b9z4z.jpg [13:19] nm, had to kick GtkScrollbar stuff out of murrine-default [13:27] * mac_v wonders how thorwil is using the bright prelight of the newwave scrollbars ;p [13:28] how do i get rid of the window menu button? [13:28] thorwil: from human? [13:28] yes [13:28] thorwil: you want it completely gone? or ... [13:29] yes [13:30] thorwil: it can be simpler if you replace this > /usr/share/themes/Human/metacity-1/menu.png and menu_over.png with a blank image [13:31] sure, but i want that silly thing gone. no special area. i always use right-click on title.bar [13:38] i just outcommented anything refering to the menu button, but it is still drawn. i suspect something isn't right with switching themes [13:39] thorwil: i dont think it is removable by theme ... have you searched the gconf? [13:40] thorwil: /apps/metacity/general/button_layout [13:41] mac_v: if including or excluding stuff and moving everything around isn't possible, then i have to wonder why this xml file is so damn huge [13:41] thorwil: change it to > :minimize,maximize,close [13:42] thorwil: the ':' is needed if you want it on the right side [13:45] just read some documentation that says that the menu button must be specified :/ [13:45] mac_v: thanks! [13:46] thorwil: hmm? didnt the removal of the "menu" from the gconf not work? it WFM [13:47] mac_v: i want to see how other themes are meant to look whenever i switch back [13:48] mac_v: so i went with the blank image solution you proposed :) [13:48] lol ;p [13:57] kwwii: the theme you were looking for > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1304125 [13:58] the wiki submission^ [14:01] seems like ardchoille doesn't quite understand wiki attachments [14:08] mac_v: very nice...I am sure we can just go with that as-is [14:09] * mac_v wonders if kwwii is high on pan meds ;p [14:09] pain* [14:13] ;) [14:46] EMERGENCY: does anyone know where i can find cool Free fonts please? [14:56] http://www.dafont.com/ is this useful? [15:04] a font emergency? sounds flaky to me [15:04] :p [15:08] SiDi: mizmo blogged about some free fonts http://mairin.wordpress.com/2009/10/28/unpackaged-open-font-of-the-week-bola/ [15:08] see related posts too [15:11] raozuzu: unfortunately 99% of dafont is not Free [15:11] and i visited mairin's blog immediately too, w/out finding something I liked [15:12] but apparently i found something ok, thanks to ochosi [15:12] kwwii: i didnt know i'd have to do the release artwork [15:12] I'm sorry SiDi :P [15:12] it looks like we forgot the countdown banners and just noticed, you see [15:14] ouch [15:14] guess you can leave out the countdown banners now [15:14] oh, really? :D [15:14] :D [15:36] how about negative countdown banners? [15:42] "you missed the release by 17 days!" [15:49] I updated the wiki to point to the Lucid pages, if I missed something please let me know [15:52] can anyone confirm bug #422511 ? [15:52] Launchpad bug 422511 in gtk+2.0 "problem with new scrollbar in Human theme - GtkRange::trough-border set to 2" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/422511 [15:52] but just the lower part of it [15:52] should probably be another bug [15:54] lol SiDi , isnt xubuntu releasing today? [15:55] mac_v: meant to [15:55] fucking 6 months release cycle.. x_x [15:55] SiDi: is there anything we can do to help? [15:55] http://imagebin.ca/view/iBwJ3z.html [15:56] SiDi welcome to the big brother program ;p , [15:56] kwwii: if you have a font that would look good, and that is not ubuntu title, i'd love you :d [15:56] (that image is from ochosi) [15:57] SiDi: the "karmic kola" text? or the "xubuntu" [15:57] SiDi: http://imjustcreative.com/sorts-mill-goudy-free-open-source-font-for-download/2009/09/05/ [15:58] mac_v: the xubuntu text [15:58] kwwii: hm that may work out good :) [15:59] troy pointed that one out to me [15:59] ;) [16:05] finally it isnt so sexy ;D [16:05] http://imagebin.ca/view/HUVRIH.html [16:07] it doesn't fit well with the Karmic Koala so large/light [16:07] maybe put the xubuntu 9.10 on top of it instead of next to it [16:08] or make Karmic Koala smaller [16:08] SiDi: isnt "karmic koala" just a code name and not supposed to be used when released? [16:08] kwwii: ^ [16:09] mac_v: xubuntu and co have a lot more freedom to do what they want ;) [16:09] ;) [16:11] SiDi: 3 different fonts on the same page doesnt seem nice :( ... you could use the same font from the "xubuntu 9.10" , in the "out .... dnload now" but smaller [16:13] kwwii: fortunately, cause we also have a lot more stuff to do per person ;P [16:14] knome: the source for the wallpaper pls :) [16:14] SiDi: trust me, I know the feeling ;) [16:14] hi everyone, i'm wondering how to use a vfb-font in gimp? [16:15] mac_v, it's in xubuntu wiki [16:16] artwork/karmic [16:16] * mac_v now wondering where the xubuntu wiki is ;p [16:16] * mac_v searches [16:19] knome: the png is the main source file? or ... [16:19] wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Artwork/Karmic [16:19] no actually [16:19] damn [16:19] knome: i found the wiki and it has only the png :( [16:20] yeah [16:20] atm i'm in a bus [16:20] knome: sure , no hurry...

Can Someone tell me how to post the artwork and where :) Thanks [19:32] bluedragon: first you must learn the virtue of patience, young grasshopper [19:37] a grasshopper, where? [19:41] SiDi: hungry? [19:41] year [19:41] Yeah* [19:45] 4 "themes" by this ardchoille guy now in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Lucid [19:46] how to curb someone's enthusiasm without looking like a bad guy? ;} [19:53] wow [19:53] i hadnt seen 4 ugly themes in a row for a while. [19:53] ^something like that, thorwil, should work well. [19:54] heh [19:54] i would be glad to commit myself to that task but i appeared to have unsubscribed from every ubuntu mailing list. [19:54] SiDi: nothing on the list about these submissions [19:55] omg, all the icons are gone [19:56] now you have to read text :/ [19:56] http://blog.thesilentnumber.me/2009/09/top-things-to-do-after-installing.html [19:56] on the screenshots there [20:00] hilarious: http://blog.uninstall.it/2009/10/29/designing-good-user-interfaces-0/ [20:05] how very well argumented this is. [20:44] SiDi: the icons can be reverted ;) [20:45] thorwil: your "fan" danny , mentioned the ppa bisigli more than the community themes :( [20:45] mac_v: we kept them in xub ;D [20:46] SiDi: /me still cursing mpt ;p ... even today was trying to change his mind ;) [20:46] mac_v: picrillo(sp?)? what the heck is "ppa bisigli"? [20:47] thorwil: oh > Bisigi Project ;) [20:48] in the eye candy section [20:48] mac_v: ah, i rememeber some of those [20:49] thorwil: he was on the release party channel spreading the word about his blog ;p ... [20:49] * mac_v whould have preferred if he had used the community themes screenshots rather than the bisigi themes :) [20:50] mac_v: he likes my scrollbar concept. that's all there is regarding a connection ;) [20:50] thorwil: lol!... was that all! i thought when you said " he is a fan" there was more ;) [20:51] thorwil: could you update the video for the scrollbar? [you mentioned it was improved , ] [20:52] mac_v: it was enough. bringing it up on brainstorm, as feature request, and i think ubuntu-devel-discuss plus at least one other list [20:52] mac_v: first i would have to fix the script [20:54] mac_v: maybe i do that, to at least have a working vertical version and get a few people at UDS to try it. even though it surely isn't lucid stuff :) [20:55] thorwil: yeah , the UDS is a good place , didrocks , mvo and a few others were totally into it , so if you could polish maybe for gnome 3? ;) [20:56] thorwil: you could use kwwii to arm twist mpt too ;p [20:56] mac_v: should i know didrocks or mvo? [20:57] thorwil: mvo is the main dev of synaptic/software store and does some compiz updates too [20:58] mac_v: ah, that's why you had the idea to have it in the store, first [20:58] yup ;) [20:58] scrollbar stuff? [21:00] SiDi: if you have text and/or images that don't fit within a window, one solution is to show only part of it. then you can offer a so called scrollbar to change what part of the whole is shown [21:01] lol [21:02] thorwil: you're a genius. [21:04] SiDi: don't you know this one? http://thorwil.wordpress.com/2008/05/09/popup-scrollbar-concept-demo/ [21:05] i didnt, actually [21:06] i wonder if it would still be as fast to go to the very bottom of a page [21:06] That's still awesome. [21:06] yeah [21:07] Well, im not sure :P ideally when i click on somewhere outside of the bar i'd like the middle ofthe bar to go there, and the text to be scrolled at that place [21:07] for very fast scrolling. :P [21:08] SiDi`Laptop: middle click. for both gtk scrollbars and my demo [21:08] Oo [21:08] thorwil, you're my hero. [21:08] heh, thanks [21:08] * SiDi`Laptop has been using a PC for 13 years now. [21:09] ah, so you're at least 13 years old! [21:12] no, i'm 4 years old [21:12] and i love contradictions [21:12] yeah, i hate them, too [21:12] Nice [21:13] now i will log on! [21:15] I think I had a bad influence over thorwil. [21:17] http://www.mmiworks.net/eng/publications/2009/09/gimp-single-mode.html [21:18] yeah, i'm so eager to see this happen. [21:31] * ckontros wonders if latest GIMP SVN looks like this? [21:32] hey [21:32] * kwwii is back [21:32] yoyo [21:33] we just had our last practice before the halloween gig [21:33] \m/ [21:33] nice touch...we have a make-up artist to do our costumes [21:33] costs a bit, but it's a nice touch, I think [21:34] s/costumes/makeup [21:34] Take pics! :) [21:34] SiDi: https://launchpad.net/~matthaeus123/+archive/mrw-gimp-svn [21:35] ckontros: we are a) making a video, b) making a dat recording and b) have a photographer ;) [21:36] Awesome. :) [21:36] the club holds 400+ people, and we are hoping to fill it [21:36] kwwii: Filming the whole set? [21:37] ckontros: yeah, a friend has a professional film camera (DV) so we are going to set it up and record the whole thing [21:37] Awesome [21:38] just for fun...if we really wanted to do anything with we'd need several camera men [21:38] but in a club you need a good camera/lense and we only have one of those [21:38] ;) [21:38] kwwii: Still awesome for something to put out there. I have many single-cam bootlegs I love. :) [21:39] the good thing is that this camera is really high quality, it has been used to make TV shows and such [21:39] actually, the lense costs almost as much as the camera [21:39] Always the way. :) [21:39] yeah, it should be interesting to see myself hoping around like an idiot after the fact :p [21:40] \m/ [21:40] Show it to yer kid!! [21:40] Or he's already a roadie? :P [21:43] he is not allowed in the clubs we play in [21:43] ;( [21:43] legally in germany, before 16 you cannot stay out that late [21:43] he just turned 12 [21:44] last friday, actually [21:44] unfortunately, we aren't the kind of band that plays in the afternoon [21:44] :D [21:45] Show him the vid then. :) [21:46] wow, I just installed the whole (old) studio theme with epidermis [21:46] nifty stuff [21:47] epidermis? [21:48] a theme setting app which does kinda "mega-themes" if you will [21:48] google for it [21:48] it is on launchpad [21:48] * ckontros does as he's told [21:48] good boy [21:49] kwwii: Try that PPA I posted to play with GIMP 2.7.1 [21:49] * kwwii ready back [21:50] ckontros: cool beans, will do [21:52] kwwii: I got the page up for epidermis. Will tinker with later. Now the fam needs me. [21:53] be carefull, though..it can easily change everything in your system [21:53] art-wise, I maen [21:53] mean [21:53] Sure. I'm still rockin' your butterfly wall. :) [21:55] hehe, one of the neatest things about that pic, is that it is as-taken...no edits or such [21:55] Works real nice with dashua's Hanzo. [21:57] hrm, I installed the gimp stuff but I don't see a difference [21:58] kwwii: Yeah. Nothing dramatic yet. I might build from source if there's new code for the new UI. [21:59] In any event, it's latest GIMP. :) [21:59] Hmm... gimp.org looks down. [22:01] Ok. Family time. [22:02] kwwii: In GIMP, "Windows->Single-window mode" [22:03] cool, I'll try that [22:03] see you [22:03] Not like the screenshots from my other post but, different. [22:04] it's quite nice this single mode [22:04] "thumbail" are easy to use [22:06] join #ubuntu-bugs [22:06] oops :-) [22:06] MadsRH: no! [22:09] Hmm... Doesn't remember tool windows. (layers and such) [22:10] Yeah. That's a PITA. [22:12] Yep. Even with a fresh ~/.gimp-* folder. [22:21] hrm, on jaunty I am still not getting the improvements [22:21] although the ppa is installed
