We are wanting to put in more detailed info about getting involved with the different areas of the ubuntu community... artwork being one.. I am looking for someone to write some info following a structure provided by Jono for us to use about artwork.. Would you be able to do it? You can see more info | 13:03 |
| kwwii | cjohnston: I guess I would be the right person to take care of that | 13:05 |
| cjohnston | Is that something you could do in the next couple of days? | 13:05 |
| kwwii | cjohnston: can you send me an email with any details? | 13:05 |

| thorwil | i have a single panel on the top, including window buttons. after a few days, the min/max wm buttons pointing down and up still throw me off :} | 17:27 |
| vish | pretty awesome stuff http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-2010-deus-ex/100909 ! | 19:58 |
| thorwil | vish: looks like it owes quite a bit to GITS | 20:17 |
| vish | thorwil: storyline maybe. but the graphics are un-freaking-believable! | 20:18 |
| thorwil | ah, the theme thread on the ayatana list is a great opportunity to reach new levels of uselessness ^^ | 20:18 |
| vish | thorwil: heh , i was wondering when Dani would mention that on ayatana ;p | 20:19 |
| vish | thorwil: he had mailed me once saying there is no discussion on artwork about the themes! | 20:19 |
| vish | the default ones | 20:19 |
| thorwil | vish: i could create a long lists of issues with the theme, but with unclear goals/objectives and often no clue what is and isn't as intended or what is caused by technical issues ... | 20:23 |
| thorwil | vish: instead we get to see another "it's bad" vs "no, your wrong, can't you see it's good!" | 20:25 |
| vish | thorwil: any opinions are just subjective/personal and not really useful atm | 20:25 |
| vish | thorwil: having an engine and just tweaking colors are calling one theme more Usable is really silly. I'm not sure why he says elementary is more usable. though I use it ;p | 20:26 |
| vish | colors and* | 20:27 |
| thorwil | vish: well, the default selection colors in Ambiance don't allow one to distinguish between focused or not easily. the dark buttons reduce contrast quite a bit | 20:28 |
| thorwil | selected items in side panels look too much like buttons | 20:29 |
| thorwil | vish: so there's a lot happening with just tweaking colors ;) | 20:29 |
| vish | ha , that is a bug. no sure that is USABILITY ;p | 20:29 |
| thorwil | vish: like i said, how would i know what is and isn't intentional? it's not like anyway would talk to me about that | 20:30 |
| vish | :) | 20:30 |
| vish | we really need a murrine fork... new ideas. new design. new style | 20:32 |
| vish | thorwil: his earlier mail was funnier when he tried to make the ubuntu-mono icons use tango palette ;p | 20:35 |
| thorwil | vish: wow. only proposing that tango switches to the mono palette could beat that | 20:39 |
| vish | hehe . | 20:40 |
| vish | thorwil: was there any research about the tango palette , for "Usability" ? | 20:42 |
| vish | i mean was the palette chosen for usability or for consistency | 20:42 |
| thorwil | vish: i think it was designed to step on no one's feet. rumor has it color vision impaired designers were involved | 20:50 |
| vish | thorwil: yeah , when Dani had sent the earlier mail about the tango palette, he mentioned that. and i was wonderinf why nothing about the "research" is ever mentioned on the site. and i had not heard of it being researched either | 20:52 |
| thorwil | vish: i don't know where that idea comes from. from what i know, at the beginning, it was all about having a style and palette that would allow the icons to blend in on windows, mac and linux (or should i say gnome?) ... | 20:55 |
| thorwil | cue troy complaining about how trying to work in any context leads to never being great | 20:57 |
| thorwil | good night! :) | 20:57 |
| vish | yeah , seems sometimes Dani gets confused ;p like saying that the elementary theme "they take years to improve this theme" , the theme hasnt even been there for 8months ;p and equinox is even shoprter | 20:57 |
| vish | thorwil: nite! | 20:57 |
