| Cimi | mm strange | 11:53 |
| Cimi | should be exactly the opposite | 11:53 |
| Cimi | does it work for ambiance? | 11:54 |
| Cimi | ronoc: ^^ | 11:55 |
| ronoc | Cimi, I reversed the colours so the darker shades was towards the bottom | 11:56 |
| ronoc | Cimi, something I meant to do before UI freeze but just did not get it done in time | 11:57 |
| ronoc | Cimi, so the button looks like a button and not a dent in the menu :) | 11:57 |
| ronoc | your gtkcolours work seem to work fine for me | 11:57 |
| Cimi | but then we could have even a better design | 11:57 |
| Cimi | we need better edges, to increasing the 3d feeling | 11:58 |
| ronoc | Cimi, yes we could but I think the design of this will need to be properly revisited at some point | 11:58 |
| ronoc | Cimi, for now its fine for me, but feel free to enhance if you like :) | 11:58 |
| ronoc | wait until I have merged though | 11:58 |
| ronoc | if you want | 11:58 |
| Cimi | ok | 11:59 |

| Cimi | kenvandine: I wrote the blog post, now we need updated packages :) | 13:48 |
| kenvandine | :) | 13:49 |
| Cimi | http://goo.gl/M3kj :P | 13:50 |
| kenvandine | Cimi, cool, lets hope the freeze exceptions get approved :) | 13:56 |
| Cimi | chaotic: let's vote! :))))) | 16:05 |
| Cimi | chaotic: I vote for "where_are_you_otto.png" :P | 16:05 |
| fagan | It would have been nice to get a couple of screen shots on that post on design.canonical.com | 16:09 |
| Cimi | chaotic: I vote for option 01a.png WITHOUT ANY DOUBT | 16:13 |
| chaotic | Cimi: yeah, it's pretty cool isn't it | 16:18 |
| chaotic | Cimi: I can't guarantee we can change direction like that but those two are my favourites too | 16:19 |
| Cimi | I like 01a more than 01b | 16:20 |
| Cimi | because the stripes in 01b are too thin | 16:21 |
| Cimi | chaotic: ^^ | 16:22 |
| Cimi | chaotic: expecially amazing with radiance is the top right corner | 16:22 |
| Cimi | much better with radiance than ambiance is the contrast panel/purple | 16:23 |
| chaotic | Cimi: thanks, I might try one with less opaque stripes - they look quite nice | 16:24 |
| Cimi | chaotic: why not making them fatter? | 16:24 |
| Cimi | *widet | 16:24 |
| Cimi | *wider, whatever | 16:24 |
| chaotic | Cimi: yeah, but I was trying to increase the level of detail a bit | 16:25 |
| Cimi | ok I can understand | 16:26 |
| Cimi | chaotic: you can remove 01b :P | 16:26 |
| Cimi | still undecided between 01a and 10c | 16:26 |
| chaotic | Cimi: :) | 16:27 |
| chaotic | Cimi: I am thinking that they can still be generative to a degree as well | 16:27 |
| Cimi | chaotic: you removed all of them :) | 16:32 |
| Cimi | you should have removed option2 and 3 not 01 :P | 16:32 |
| chaotic | Cimi: oops | 16:38 |
| chaotic | Cimi: meant to copy them... | 16:38 |
| chaotic | Cimi: there was a dot I've moved on the new ones | 16:41 |
| chaotic | Cimi: better now | 16:41 |
| Cimi | chaotic: I know you are searching detail but I prefer 01a :) | 16:44 |
| chaotic | Cimi: it's 1a or 1c for me - I might put one up with less detail | 16:45 |
| Cimi | I vote for 01a. I guess I don't like the top-right intersection between the white stripes and the rainbow. maybe it's just tastes, yes, but it ruins the cool gradient | 16:48 |
| Cimi | chaotic: ^^ | 16:51 |
| chaotic | Cimi: 1d is very subtle now | 16:53 |
| Cimi | yes | 16:53 |
| Cimi | but I still prefer 01a :) - feel free to kill me | 16:54 |
| chaotic | Cimi: it adds texture though ;) | 16:54 |
| Cimi | chaotic: see in dropbox "i dont like that .png" | 16:58 |
| chaotic | Cimi: I am doing one that removes that, let's see | 16:59 |
| Cimi | better | 17:06 |
| Cimi | not sure between this and 01a but definitely better IMHO | 17:06 |
| Cimi | chaotic: if you compare 01a and 01e you might notice 01e is brighter due to the bright stripes | 17:08 |
| Cimi | chaotic: we are losing the details of the rainbow/colors | 17:08 |
| Cimi | chaotic: for that reason if you add stripes, you should reduce the brightness of the central glow | 17:08 |
| Cimi | chaotic: did you get what I mean? | 17:09 |
| chaotic | Cimi: yes | 17:18 |
| chaotic | Cimi: I've dulled it slightly but I think I am happy with the results now | 17:18 |
| Cimi | chaotic: 01f coming soon? :) | 17:19 |
| Cimi | chaotic: still prefer the brightness of 01a | 17:23 |
| Cimi | anyway 01f seems to have lost the detail 01e/d had | 17:23 |
| Cimi | are you sure you reduced the level glow and not the stripes? you should reduce the white glow not the stripes, otherwise you lose the detail :) | 17:24 |
| chaotic | Cimi: it's not that simple - done as a color dodge layer it doesn't react quite that easily | 17:29 |
| Cimi | chaotic: not sure I understood, but I guess that below the stripes there's a glow, itsn't it? | 17:30 |
| Cimi | I mean reducing that glow | 17:30 |
| chaotic | Cimi: it's a combination of a greyscale layer and layer mask applied as a color dodge - so it's more difficult to control | 17:31 |
| chaotic | works very well with both themes though huh - will make a good CD too | 17:33 |
| Cimi | yep | 17:33 |
| Cimi | my final thought is: having *exactly the same level of brightness of 01a in the center* while keeping a hint of the stripes at bottom left | 17:34 |
| chaotic | Cimi: I'm done - need to send the mail to Mark a and g are going | 17:36 |
| Cimi | chaotic: cc me :) | 17:38 |
| Cimi | chaotic: you're not going to update g then? (I can't judge the difficulty you may have found) | 17:40 |
| chaotic | the stripes are an additive so it's very hard to apply them without adding brightness also | 17:41 |
| Cimi | between a and g I would still prefer a because the brightness of in the middle covers the colors in the center, reducing the nice feeling given by the rainbow/gradient | 17:41 |
| Cimi | chaotic: I can understand they are an additive, I thought you could reduce the general brightness by reducing the brightness of other elements, but I'm not a photoshop guru like you so I'm totally in your hands. | 17:43 |
| Cimi | chaotic: just keep in mind my consideration about detail of the color bands | 17:43 |
| chaotic | ;) | 17:44 |
| Cimi | chaotic: because for adding some details in the bottom right, we are losing details somewhere | 17:44 |
| Cimi | and that's a regression more than a plus IMHHHHHHO | 17:44 |
| chaotic | hahaha | 17:50 |
| chaotic | Cimi: live with them over the weekend, it's going in on monday | 17:50 |
| Cimi | ook | 17:51 |
| Cimi | chaotic: if you're done for today, catch up on monday :) | 17:58 |
| chaotic | Cimi: I most definitely am - have a good weekend | 17:58 |
| Cimi | (and now I have your mobile phone, so I can sms you if you disappear for too long! :P :P) | 17:58 |
| Cimi | have a good weekend too otto ;) | 17:59 |
| Cimi | chaotic: bye! | 17:59 |
