| tim_ | hey | 00:20 |
|---|---|---|
| tim_ | im interested in working with themes and background and all | 00:20 |
| tim_ | however, im not sure where to start | 00:20 |
| tim_ | is there anything i can do to help, with my limited skills | 00:22 |
| troy_s | tim_: Help - no. | 00:24 |
| troy_s | tim_: Imagine if this were a kernel developer forum, you basically said "I can't code but I'd like to try and get things committed to the kernel." | 00:24 |
| troy_s | tim_: So it's silly. | 00:24 |
| troy_s | tim_: _But_ | 00:24 |
| troy_s | tim_: If you are interested in learning more about art / design / etc., you might be able to find some good suggestions / starting points. | 00:25 |
| troy_s | tim_: Make sense? | 00:25 |

| zacbarton | hi there | 08:26 |
| zacbarton | im hoping someone can help me fix an issue im having using a metacity theme with compiz | 08:27 |
| zacbarton | see here - http://www.zacbarton.com/metacity_vs_compiz.png | 08:27 |
| vish | zacbarton: seems like a bug.. are you doing the theme or just curious about the bug? | 09:06 |
| zacbarton | im doing a theme | 09:06 |
| zacbarton | shame | 09:06 |
| vish | zacbarton: are you noticing the same with other themes as well? | 09:08 |
| zacbarton | hmm good question ill just chk | 09:09 |
| zacbarton | yea it looks like it | 09:09 |
| zacbarton | other themes show the same issue | 09:09 |
| vish | zacbarton: i just checked in virtual box too , it seems that metacity doesnt allow maximizing those windows | 09:09 |
| zacbarton | yea | 09:10 |
| zacbarton | but compiz does. and in a metacity theme you can style the close differently for those cases | 09:10 |
| vish | zacbarton: hmm? style it different? | 09:11 |
| zacbarton | would it be a metacity bug or the gnome-window-decorator? | 09:11 |
| zniavre_ | gconf-editor >/apps/metacity/general/button_layout > did you check the layout too ? | 09:11 |
| zacbarton | yea like if the window is a utility window (like gimp). so in my case id use a different close button rather then using the one i use when its min/max/close (as my button are joined) | 09:12 |
| vish | ah , cool | 09:12 |
| vish | zacbarton: you did the homosapien theme? or modifying it? | 09:13 |
| zacbarton | i didnt create it but i did take the mockup and turned it into a theme | 09:14 |
| vish | neat | 09:14 |
| zacbarton | @znavre: the button layout is the same between compiz and metacity | 09:14 |
| zacbarton | yea its turning out quite good. im in contact with the author so we will see what comes next :-) | 09:15 |
| zacbarton | i added a (hopefully) more human color gardient to the latest version which i think looks good | 09:16 |
| * vish wonders how appropriate - , + is for a minimize , maximize , it seems more like remove or add :( | 09:28 | |
| thorwil | everyone put a mark on the calender, kwwii blogged: http://kwwii.blogspot.com/2010/02/platform-sprint-in-portland.html | 09:41 |
| thorwil | i already considered to see his blog posts as events marking the end/start of an era | 09:44 |
| vish | thorwil: hmm? didnt understand... previous era? | 09:45 |
| thorwil | vish: important events are used to divide history. for example, the rediscovery of america is sometimes considered to be the end of the middle ages | 09:47 |
| vish | thorwil: lol! i know "era" meaning.. i was asking what was the beginning/end of the last era? | 09:47 |
| vish | what was the last event | 09:47 |
| vish | thorwil: blogged about breathe and we shut down work within a month ;p | 09:48 |
| vish | kwwii blogged* | 09:48 |
| thorwil | vish: heh, so maybe it's good he doesn't blog often | 09:49 |
| vish | lol ;) | 09:49 |
| darkmatter | vish: down/up arrowheads are better for min/max imo | 09:50 |
| vish | darkmatter: agreed , they could be used in those button styles | 09:50 |
| darkmatter | holy... just updated my alpha of opera 10.5 to the latest build. I have never seen a browser this responsive. | 09:57 |
| thorwil | i hate when the browser runs away from the pointer or starts to giggle if i click it | 10:01 |
| zniavre_ | darkmatter, you should try firefox 3.6 , is at least faster than chrome | 10:25 |
| darkmatter | I use 3.6. I also play around with the latest opera. I refuse to touch chrome. it's like the rest of googles googlerific offerings. utter crap | 10:27 |
| vish | damn! kwwii takes neat fotos | 10:27 |
| zniavre_ | darkmatter, :o) | 10:28 |
| * darkmatter gets extremely bored and rewrites windowmaker using gtk+ | 10:34 | |
| darkmatter | neat: http://stashbox.org/705472/Bildschirmfoto.png | 11:08 |
