[14:02] <lamalex> kenvandine, is it possible to draw in an indicator, or are icons the only display method
[14:03] <lamalex> I guess I'm asking if my program has an open svg and wants to use librsvg or something to change color/etc can that changed svg be placed in the indicator applet?
[14:13] <lamalex> api looks like icons only
[14:34] <qense> lamalex: Do you mean Indicator Application?
[14:40] <vish> lamalex: i'm guessing you are referring to symbolic icons? 
[14:40] <vish> if so , that is the plan for maverick , use a symbolic icon and allow the color to be changed on the fly
[14:40] <vish> depending on state of the indicator
[14:42] <lamalex> vish, do applications get to specify the color?
[14:42] <lamalex> is it possible to do more interesting things like fade from one color to another?
[14:43] <vish> lamalex: they would probably specific , warning/ok , like what has been done upstream , but the plan is for more states like pressed/active , and the colors will be specified in the icon themselves
[14:43] <lamalex> ah
[14:43] <vish> s/specific/specify
[14:44] <vish> lamalex: the "fade" is already being faked for the mute animation , i believe one icon is overlayed over the other
[14:45] <lamalex> ah, cool
[14:47] <vish> lamalex: what are ya planning? ;)
[14:48] <lamalex> vish, I wanted to mock up (in code) what I think the download indicator should behave like
[14:49] <vish>  cool!
[14:52] <lamalex> yeah! but im not sure if what I was planning is possible or not. it's all very easy with librsvg, but I don't think I have that benefit. I'll look at the sound indicator though and see how the fade is accomplished there
[14:52] <lamalex> basically I want to do fade + animation
[14:57] <vish> lamalex: animation also you can fake by using several icons , like the nm connection animation. [unless you are planning something toooo fancy ;) ]
[14:58] <lamalex> vish, basically just a pie that fills in radially, but moves in two directions and changes colors on events
[14:59] <vish> lamalex: yup , you can do that with icons
[15:00] <lamalex> cool beans, I'll play with it some and see what I can come up with
[19:25] <AnAnt> Hello, where can I find info about messaging indicator (menu) API ?
[19:26] <AnAnt> I don't find anything in the wiki
