[10:44] <thorwil> darkmatter: it seems all so limited to a small green-grey color range. depressive
[10:46] <darkmatter> thorwil: nah. I'm changing it (lots of pixmaps, new colors :P). just testing layouts for apps
[11:02] <vish> darkmatter: though an etched in look for the buttons look nice , how is it that a button can be etched in and be pressed ? ;p
[11:04] <darkmatter> vish: where wut huh?
[11:04] <vish> darkmatter: the toolbar icons..
[11:05] <darkmatter> oh.lol. those are only temporary you nab :P
[11:06] <darkmatter> teh theme will have it's own eventually. atm I just ripped them from elsewhere. colored blobs are too distracting ;)
[11:52] <vish> darkmatter: i dont mind the lack of color , infact i think i showed you a mockup earlier with monochrome icons on toolbar , what would be cool is if  the buttons came flush to the surface or popped up when we hover over them
[11:53] <darkmatter> vish: aye. I'm working on a spec for my project I call "popups" for fun. it's all about the graphical representation of icons and related images
[11:54] <darkmatter> vish: I actually "like" monochrome for the most part. even the theme will stay generally level in that regard, just blingy ;o
[11:57] <darkmatter> vish: basically the spec is for desaturated/mono versions of icons, flush or nearly so (dependin on where in the ui) they colorize and "popup" to a slightly floating state when interacted with (or when speaking). basically. I'll be fine tuning it for the various parts of the ui
[11:57] <vish> cool!
[11:57] <darkmatter> _if_ I can pull it off with smexy rendering magic instead of multiple icons, then I will
[11:58] <darkmatter> vish: I want another state in dropbox. thinking of the spec made me realize we need an "update" notification that doesn't involve libnotify ;o
[12:00] <darkmatter> vish: I think the colorized/mono transitions would be a nice and distinct compromise. I find pure mono/technicolor unbearable. both make it a pain to notice stuff
[12:00] <vish> darkmatter: yeah , i'v noticed that in several places , it works pretty well , [on hover the icon gains color]
[12:01] <vish> darkmatter: now , we just need to make them[-shell folks] realize it ;)
[12:02] <darkmatter> aye
[12:05] <darkmatter> bbiab. walk time
