[20:03] <DanaG> Hmm, this new 1-pixel border on Maverick is damn near impossible to grab.  You ever try hitting something 0.1728mm wide?
[20:04] <DanaG> That's literally how wide it is on my screen.
[20:05] <DanaG> (And frankly, the new wallpaper looks like somebody spilled baby food (to use a less gross analogy) on the Lucid wallpaper.
[20:05] <DanaG> oops, mismatched my parentheses.
[20:06] <doctormo> DanaG: Did you see my blog entry today?
[20:07] <DanaG> Not sure... which blog is it?
[20:07] <DanaG> Correction: it's 1px everywhere except at the corners, where there's a 2px by 2px block.
[20:08] <DanaG> Thankfully, I know to alt+middledrag.
[20:08] <DanaG> Does GTK let you use "em" or "points" or other such relative measurements?
[20:09] <DanaG> ah, the canonical design one?
[20:11] <vish> DanaG: bug 160311
[20:11] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 160311 in metacity (Ubuntu) (and 5 other projects) "Resizing windows by grabbing window borders is difficult (affects: 216) (dups: 5) (heat: 1088)" [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/160311
[20:11] <doctormo> DanaG: http://doctormo.org/2010/09/03/random-genetic-wallpaper/
[20:12] <DanaG> Nifty idea, those random variations... but needs some nicer source to work with (not just splotches).  Or rather, even "splotches" would look nicer than the faded blobs.
[20:13] <DanaG> Something like this would be nice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ajsOZ0dtxo
[20:13] <DanaG> Snapshots of random shapes.
[20:14] <DanaG> But with less-harsh colors.
[20:14] <doctormo> DanaG: Do you have any experience with svg?
[20:14] <DanaG> Not really.
[20:15] <DanaG> er, rather, not at all.
[20:15] <doctormo> DanaG: What you've shown me is easy enough to do and if there was money in making it (or if it was my job) I'd love to make it happen.
[20:17] <DanaG> I'll bet if you link there on the blog post, somebody could implement it.
[20:18] <DanaG> The thing also lets you use squares and question-marks and such.
[20:19] <vish> DanaG: i guess you dont really know the famous doctormo :)
[20:19] <DanaG> Not really.
[20:28] <DanaG> I just posted a comment on the Canonical one.
