__mikemHey, I have an improved version of the Radiance theme that i called Briliance. I want to show it to you guys and see if you would be willing to include it in the final release of Lucid02:07
__mikemanyone?02:08
troy_s__mikem: Not really the decision of anyone hwere.02:08
troy_s__mikem: And 'improved' is, as I am sure you are aware, relative.02:09
__mikemwell, wanna just give the theme a spin, and see if you like it?02:09
troy_s__mikem: No. I don't really mind either way.02:09
__mikemhttp://www.mediafire.com/?itjeujdyz45 <-- heres the .tar.gz file that contains my theme if you want to have a look02:12
mrandrzejakHi all! Was there a decision made on the Lucid countdown banners?02:16
vishdarkmatter: the green progress bar , seems stuck in between neither being light-n-shiny or being dark'n'sexy ;)11:00
vishhave you tried making it similar to the top bar?11:01
darkmatterno. not yet. still mucking around with other widgets11:01
vishdarkmatter: the rest look good though :)11:02
darkmatterneat. even zune goes 'metro' (aesthetically). I'm suspecting windows 8 will be the most metro thing since unisex handbags :P11:02
vishdarkmatter: zune was metro actually , they hadnt mentioned it as metro , probably since it was not as complete as the phone11:04
darkmatterahh11:04
vishheh , probably no one bought a zune ;p11:04
vishdarkmatter: if you had seen the links troy had been posting for a long time , the phone wouldnt have been very surprising ;)11:05
darkmatterthe newest version of the zune desktop looks smokin' hot11:05
darkmatterthe phone wasn't surprising. it was sex in pixels :P11:05
darkmattermicrosoft finally came up with a design direction I like ;)11:07
darkmattervish: you know my views about aesthetic minimalism and maximum immersion. I've ranted you into migraines about that crap for years :P11:13
vishoh , not that again !11:14
* vish runs11:14
knome:P11:14
vish;p11:14
darkmattervish: but yeah, I'll have to dig through my irc logs for troy_s "what, you actually _like_ that look?" (rough translation of his wtf reaction to something we discussed ages ago), then I can send him a "kiss my ass, everyone else likes it now too! c'mon, pucker up! :D" IM bomb xD11:17
vishdarkmatter: oh , did you mention it ?  /me doesnt recall ... not documented , no credit ;p11:21
vishdarkmatter: someone must have read the channel logs , and ripped you off ;)11:22
darkmattervish: it was about "the next trend in aesthetics" troy_s was all "woodgrain or bust!!". I was more rational, after years of plastic and glass, big flat and chunky seemed a more logical progression11:23
darkmattervish: did I say ripped of? no, I said 'wood my ass" :P11:23
vishdarkmatter: damn! troy isnt here to reply :s11:24
* vish mails channel logs to troy11:24
darkmatterI had linked a dA screenshot or something like that. must search teh google11:26
darkmattervish: awwww... c'mon. admit it. you love it when you're right too ;)11:26
vishdarkmatter: if troy were here, it would be more fun to watch you slug it out with him! ;)  no matter who is right or not ;p11:28
darkmattervish: I wish he was. I'm in a playful "in your face!" mood :D that's what happens when I consume WAYYY too much coffee :P11:29
darkmatterdon't get me wrong. troy_s is awesome. but he's more opinionated than the opinion committee, which is why I want to pick on him right now xD11:32
* darkmatter stuffs a hyperactive hamster down the back of vishs undies :O11:34
darkmattervish: I have mastered themeing the new nautilus :O12:51
vish new nautilus is ?$@12:56
zniavre_good afternoon13:00
darkmattervish: 2.30.0 has some pretty funky changes. thus the "new" comment13:10
darkmattervish: anyway. no more "Nautilus looks like crap" :D  http://www.flickr.com/photos/92826085@N00/4499915830/13:11
vishah , nice13:16
* vish will steal darkmatter's gtkrc once he is done ;)13:17
darkmatter;o13:17
darkmattervish: that's technically what this gtkrc is for, and it's why I'm currently just tweaking sonar instead of spending a bazillion hours finish up all of my themes. basically it's to create a generic template13:23
darkmattervish: because I wuv you you get the nautilus code ;p http://pastebin.ca/185776914:13
vishdarkmatter: thanks :)14:23
darkmattervish: np. just maintain the class orders. nautilus is a picky bugger. but otherwise season to taste :P14:24
vishhehe , it has been literally nearly more than 3months since i tweaked a theme14:27
* vish needs more than 48hrs in a day :/14:27
darkmatterlol14:28
thorwilkwwii: in general, though i don't know how easy metacity would make that, the alternative to vector window buttons would be to do the same as with icons: a set of sizes16:32
kwwiithorwil: indeed17:22
thorwilhmm. http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/countdown18:47
thorwilall perfect examples for the CoF-in-circle scaling problem. there should be another approach for small sizes18:49
thorwileven just leaving the circle/CoF out would be better18:50
darkmattervish: now I'm playing with text styles http://www.flickr.com/photos/92826085@N00/4500093647/ :P19:25
vishdarkmatter: nice wallpaper :)19:52
darkmatterty19:54
islingtonthorwil: would leaving it out even be allowed? wouldnt that be tampering with a logo?20:20
thorwilislington: there is a problem, there should be a solution. ideally an official one, of course, bu there's nothing sacred about this still not wrapped up logo-type20:25
kwwiithe honest to goodness truth is that things are simply not completely ready yet20:36
kwwiiwe do not want to start putting things out in bits and pieces without the information on usage, etc20:36
