jaapzIs there a way to theme a single gtk window18:05
DanRabbitjaapz: you can specifically theme an app18:13
DanRabbitor a part of an app18:13
jaapzDanRabbit, but how18:14
DanRabbitjaapz: well, you need to understand how GTKRC works.18:14
DanRabbitwhen you're creating those styles, you're doing two things18:15
DanRabbitfirst, you're defining a style18:16
DanRabbitthen, you're pointing out widgets or widgets classes and them telling them what style to use18:16
jaapzDanRabbit, do you know a tutorial?18:16
DanRabbitAldo Zenzo had one, but it got messed up >.<18:17
DanRabbitsome kind of weird data loss issue18:17
jaapz:P18:17
jaapzWell that sucks18:17
DanRabbitjaapz: this is a line from my gtkrc that styles Midori Browser18:18
DanRabbitwidget"MidoriBrowser.GtkVBox.GtkHPaned.GtkVPaned.GtkNotebook"style "midori-notebook"18:18
DanRabbitI'm saying "Hey this is a widget"18:18
DanRabbitThen the following nonsense is a hierarchy18:18
DanRabbitThis widget lives here18:18
\vishjaapz: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeArt/Tutorials/GtkThemes , give it a shot  , and also have a look at the gtkrc at other themes , will give you a good idea :)18:19
DanRabbitOKay, so the widget is a notebook inside "GtkVPaned" inside "GtkHPaned" inside "GtkVBox" inside the app "MidoriBrowser"18:20
\vish gtkrc of* other themes18:20
jaapzDanRabbit, i dont understand a word you saying XD18:20
jaapz\vish, ill look into that, thanks18:20
DanRabbitah...18:20
DanRabbitsorry :p18:20
\vishjaapz:18:21
\vishoops!18:21
jaapz:P18:21
oskudehi, what do you think ? http://osku.de/post/plymouth_space-sunrise_ubuntu.ogv (sources: http://gitorious.org/oskude-plymouth-themes/space-sunrise/commits/ubuntu)20:43
coz_oskude,  this is for xplash animation?20:44
oskudeplymouth20:45
coz_oh ok    I havent tried plymouth20:45
oskudepretty nifty! i just followed this: http://brej.org/blog/?p=17420:45
thorwiloskude: i like the start, but the black ubuntu logo eclipsing the light sends a very dark message20:45
oskudeits a ubuntu monolith! its full of stars! ;P20:46
oskudebut yeah, its a thing i made in few mins20:46
oskudenot including the "base" thing (master branch)20:46
thorwiloskude: you could try to turn the start itself into a ubuntu logo20:46
\vishoskude: stars/space screams OSX... sun rays fedora.. ;)20:46
coz_ubuntu sun :)20:47
oskudeif i learn how to draw (in inkscape) nice lenslfares, i gotta test that too :)20:47
coz_yeah i would turn the   "while" halo  into ubuntu orange colours with the sun the actual ubuntu logo  ?20:47
thorwil\vish: yeah, a little scarabeus rolling a dung ball that then turns into the CoC would be more fitting, eh? ;)20:48
oskudecoz_, follow the tutorial to get plymouth dev system, get that space-sunrise ubuntu branch, follow the readme, should be easy20:48
coz_ok thanks guy20:48
coz_not really interested in  plymouth at this point though.... still working on xsplash animations :)20:49
\vishhehe ;)20:49
oskudeoh20:49
oskudei thought next ubuntu uses plymouth ?20:49
\vishcoz_: lucid is plymouth _ xsplash20:49
\vishs/_/+20:50
oskudeoh20:50
coz_\vish,  mm I have lucid installed and it is using xplash animations right now20:50
thorwildidn't you listen, coz_ is not interested!!20:50
* oskude goes check what is xplash20:50
\vishcoz_: starting is plymouth :)  , it is used instead of usplash20:50
coz_thorwil,  well at least at this point... I dont see plymouth in lucid on my one machine as of yet20:50
coz_\vish,  nope  it is using xplash here and its up to date  although I will have t check to be sure    hold on20:51
\vishcoz_: do you have libplymouth2 installed?20:51
oskudeanyone got a link to xplash homepage ? google is not helping me...20:52
coz_\vish,  that is not in lucid repos  as of yet at least on t his system20:52
coz_oskude,  I dont... I do have a link talking about how to create the animations hold on20:53
\vishcoz_: interesting... what is the graphics card?20:53
coz_\vish,  nvidia20:53
oskudecoz_, that would be even better! :)20:53
coz_oskude,    http://anotherubuntu.blogspot.com/2009/12/customizing-x-splash.html20:53
\vishoskude: xsplash is new canonical experimental stuff... so that blog is the best shot ;)20:54
\vishno homepage yet20:54
oskuderoger, thanks \vish coz_20:54
coz_although creating a 50 frame minimum animation  is a pain in the butt20:54
oskudeso xplash uses opengl ?20:55
=== \vish is now known as mac_v
=== mac_v is now known as \vish
coz_oskude,I am not sure... but I dont think so   I could be wrong20:56
oskudecoz_, hmm, that tutorial you gave me, is that all xplash can ?20:59
oskude"play a video"21:00
coz_oskude,  well  what it does is have a small area animated during boot sequence  but  it can be more complex than that let me find another video21:00
coz_oskude,  if you scroll down here   http://troy-sobotka.blogspot.com/search/label/*buntu   you can see troy's take on the boot sequence]21:00
oskudei did that ubuntu plymouth thing with this: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Plymouth/Scripts21:01
coz_oskude, also here   http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=ubuntu+boot+animation&search_type=&aq=f    is a list of attemtps with xplash animations21:02
oskudenice! if thats opengl and not video21:02
coz_oskude,  all I know at this point is that it is a 50 or +  frame animation in a single png file21:03
oskudeyup, must be opengl, what also means x is already running, AFAIK21:04
oskudeso plymouth comes before xsplash, if i understand correctly21:04
\vishyup21:05
coz_I believe so21:05
coz_I wouldnt mind a bit of animation prior to xsplash21:05
oskudeand i want opengl as computer starts! :)21:06
\vishoskude: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIBD4lRJS0Y21:06
\vishthats what they are trying to do as of now :) with plymouth and X21:07
* \vish wonders how they would figure out which frame plymouth stopped , to start the xsplash animation o.021:08
coz_mmm a bit of a frame drop21:09
coz_from one to the other21:09
oskudeso what is next ubuntu gonna use, plymouth alone, or plymouth + xsplash ?21:10
coz_oskude,  I am not sure   I know right now lucid is not using plymouth at all21:10
coz_oskude,  it is using xplash21:10
oskudeand before X ? also xsplash ?21:11
coz_oskude,  no just black21:11
oskudek21:11
\vishactually the plan is to use plymouth+xsplash ... wonder how coz_ is special :D21:11
coz_\vish,  special?21:12
\vishcoz_: i'm not sure why plymouth isnt in your system... maybe nvidia is able to start X very early21:12
coz_\vish,   I am not sure either ..just did update on the lucid system and still libplymoouth is not in the repo21:13
oskude\vish, roger. hows the visual transition from plymouth to xplash ? is it flicker free, can it fade ?21:13
\vishcoz_: is usplash installed for you?21:13
coz_I would assume let me check21:14
\vishoskude: its still experimental , so only the in-house design team knows more about it21:14
coz_\vish,  yeah libusplash is there21:14
oskude\vish, and do they hangout here ?21:14
\vishcoz_: for me , updates removed usplash and installed libplymouth o.021:14
coz_\vish,  thats interesting... mmm I better check my repos just incase :)21:15
oskudecoz_, did you do dist-upgrade or upgrade ?21:15
oskudejust quessign21:15
\vishoskude: today is sunday , they would probably return from vacation tomorrow... kwwii is one of the design team.. also mat_t21:16
coz_oskude,   dist-upgrade   when I use terminal21:16
oskude\vish, roger21:16
oskudecoz_, roger. then at leas i would except you get the lates stuff21:16
oskudecoz_, and you did update too (just to be complete)21:17
coz_oskude,  :) yes I did.... still no libplymouth though21:18
coz_\vish,  could i see your sources.list ?21:18
oskudecoz_, cant help more, i use 9.1021:18
* \vish did a clean install21:18
coz_oskude,  I am on 9.10  here  but the lucid box is on the other desk:)21:18
coz_\vish,   same here  but I can download the current  cd and reinstall21:19
\vishcoz_: hmm , i see libusplash too , but > Commit Log for Wed Dec 16 12:55:50 200921:19
\vishRemoved the following packages:21:19
\vishusplash21:19
\vishusplash-theme-ubuntu21:19
oskudemaybe mirror still out of sync ?21:20
coz_\vish,  ok then  I will download current cd and reinstall clean again....21:20
oskuderepo mirror21:20
coz_I will try this a bit later  then ....  I am sure libplymouth will show up at that point.21:21
\vishhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/FoundationsTeam/LucidBootExperience21:28
oskudexsplash-0.8.5 README file empty...21:29
\vishcoz_: you had me confused for a min :D ... then i found the wiki^ ;)21:30
coz_\vish,  thanks :)21:37
coz_\vish,  I am sure  it is my install    ... as I said I will just clean install from current cd21:37
\vishcoz_: hehe , i guess its part of the fun of using an alpha :)21:38
coz_\vish,  for sure :)21:38
coz_\vish,  we are at alpha 1 right now?21:38
\vishyup21:38
oskudeso this would be possible with xsplash http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqDPZDv4Bvg using openql ? or would it play frames ? (images)21:39
oskudeas i cant any technical info about xsplash :/21:41
coz_oskude,  mm that looks more like plymouth21:41
oskudecoz_, it's supposed to be a mockup for xsplash21:42
oskudewell, i assume xsplash uses opengl21:42
coz_oskude,  mm   I am not sure ...as I said right now I am stuggling just understanding the current set up for xplash animations and so far they are fairly small  ...but I assume they could be full screen21:42
coz_oskude,   example  idea   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8LAG27baEU21:43
\vishcoz_: Mads , usually does his mockups in illustrator using after effects or something...21:44
oskudemust be opengl, i wonder if even clutter project21:44
zniavrehello21:44
coz_\vish,  did you see troy's  animation for this?21:44
oskudesad that there is so less info about xsplash, looks awesome!21:44
\vishcoz_: the one with the notify-osd?21:45
coz_\vish,  yeah I believe21:45
coz_so21:45
\vishzniavre: hi...21:45
coz_oskude,   I have examples here and the imagemagick command to put all of the animation cells into single png format but that is all on that link I gave you also :)21:45
coz_actually I deleted all of my examples  :(21:46
zniavreim trying nautilus with split view > does it included into lucid ?21:46
\vishoskude: even with frames we can get the same effect21:46
\vishzniavre: not yet21:46
zniavreok21:46
\vishcoz_: its interesting... but seems no one from the design team wants to do it... hence troy got even more pissed i guess ;p21:47
oskude\vish, but then it wont be cool (from technical point) ;P21:47
coz_\vish,  yeah I know .. I had suggested that sequence several times with absolutely no response21:48
coz_\vish,  I dont blame him for being pissed21:48
oskudecoz_, i want to create "actors" that i can move and fade and such, but thanks21:48
coz_oskude,  ok gotcha.... let me know if you succeed with that :)21:48
oskudecoz_, will do :) ill try to dig some more info about xsplash21:49
coz_oskude,  not much out there at this point as far as I know21:49
\vishoskude: gud luck ;)21:49
coz_oskude,   that blog is about it  :)21:49
oskudeand yet it's version 0.8.5 :/21:49
oskudeeven README file is empty :(21:49
\vishlol...21:49
coz_:)21:49
oskudeor 1.0 is thought as a first release...21:51
\vishoskude: right now , afaik , its just tweaked to do the frames and stuff , but since we can use X  , anything is possible/probable21:52
oskude\vish, roger21:52
oskudeso we could add clutter to it, yay!21:52
oskudeim sold! ;P21:52
* oskude wonders how early we can start X22:14
oskudewhich mailings would be appropriate to ask questions about this ? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FoundationsTeam/LucidBootExperience22:22
oskude*mailing list22:22
* oskude goes to bed. gn822:42
