[11:52] Cimi, -> http://imagebin.org/113492 [11:53] mm strange [11:53] should be exactly the opposite [11:54] does it work for ambiance? [11:55] ronoc: ^^ [11:56] Cimi, I reversed the colours so the darker shades was towards the bottom [11:57] Cimi, something I meant to do before UI freeze but just did not get it done in time [11:57] Cimi, so the button looks like a button and not a dent in the menu :) [11:57] your gtkcolours work seem to work fine for me [11:57] but then we could have even a better design [11:58] we need better edges, to increasing the 3d feeling [11:58] Cimi, yes we could but I think the design of this will need to be properly revisited at some point [11:58] Cimi, for now its fine for me, but feel free to enhance if you like :) [11:58] wait until I have merged though [11:58] if you want [11:59] ok === MacSlow is now known as MacSlow|lunch [12:32] good afternoon === MacSlow|lunch is now known as MacSlow [13:48] kenvandine: I wrote the blog post, now we need updated packages :) [13:49] :) [13:50] http://goo.gl/M3kj :P [13:56] Cimi, cool, lets hope the freeze exceptions get approved :) [16:05] chaotic: let's vote! :))))) [16:05] chaotic: I vote for "where_are_you_otto.png" :P [16:09] It would have been nice to get a couple of screen shots on that post on design.canonical.com [16:13] chaotic: I vote for option 01a.png WITHOUT ANY DOUBT [16:18] Cimi: yeah, it's pretty cool isn't it [16:19] Cimi: I can't guarantee we can change direction like that but those two are my favourites too [16:20] I like 01a more than 01b [16:21] because the stripes in 01b are too thin [16:22] chaotic: ^^ [16:22] chaotic: expecially amazing with radiance is the top right corner [16:23] much better with radiance than ambiance is the contrast panel/purple [16:24] Cimi: thanks, I might try one with less opaque stripes - they look quite nice [16:24] chaotic: why not making them fatter? [16:24] *widet [16:24] *wider, whatever [16:25] Cimi: yeah, but I was trying to increase the level of detail a bit [16:26] ok I can understand [16:26] chaotic: you can remove 01b :P [16:26] still undecided between 01a and 10c [16:27] Cimi: :) [16:27] Cimi: I am thinking that they can still be generative to a degree as well [16:32] chaotic: you removed all of them :) [16:32] you should have removed option2 and 3 not 01 :P [16:38] Cimi: oops [16:38] Cimi: meant to copy them... [16:41] Cimi: there was a dot I've moved on the new ones [16:41] Cimi: better now [16:44] chaotic: I know you are searching detail but I prefer 01a :) [16:45] Cimi: it's 1a or 1c for me - I might put one up with less detail [16:48] 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 [16:51] chaotic: ^^ [16:53] Cimi: 1d is very subtle now [16:53] yes [16:54] but I still prefer 01a :) - feel free to kill me [16:54] Cimi: it adds texture though ;) [16:58] chaotic: see in dropbox "i dont like that .png" [16:59] Cimi: I am doing one that removes that, let's see [17:06] better [17:06] not sure between this and 01a but definitely better IMHO [17:08] chaotic: if you compare 01a and 01e you might notice 01e is brighter due to the bright stripes [17:08] chaotic: we are losing the details of the rainbow/colors [17:08] chaotic: for that reason if you add stripes, you should reduce the brightness of the central glow [17:09] chaotic: did you get what I mean? [17:18] Cimi: yes [17:18] Cimi: I've dulled it slightly but I think I am happy with the results now [17:19] chaotic: 01f coming soon? :) [17:23] chaotic: still prefer the brightness of 01a [17:23] anyway 01f seems to have lost the detail 01e/d had [17:24] 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 :) [17:29] Cimi: it's not that simple - done as a color dodge layer it doesn't react quite that easily [17:30] chaotic: not sure I understood, but I guess that below the stripes there's a glow, itsn't it? [17:30] I mean reducing that glow [17:31] Cimi: it's a combination of a greyscale layer and layer mask applied as a color dodge - so it's more difficult to control [17:33] works very well with both themes though huh - will make a good CD too [17:33] yep [17:34] 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 [17:36] Cimi: I'm done - need to send the mail to Mark a and g are going [17:38] chaotic: cc me :) [17:40] chaotic: you're not going to update g then? (I can't judge the difficulty you may have found) [17:41] the stripes are an additive so it's very hard to apply them without adding brightness also [17:41] 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 [17:43] 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] chaotic: just keep in mind my consideration about detail of the color bands [17:44] ;) [17:44] chaotic: because for adding some details in the bottom right, we are losing details somewhere [17:44] and that's a regression more than a plus IMHHHHHHO [17:50] hahaha [17:50] Cimi: live with them over the weekend, it's going in on monday [17:51] ook [17:58] chaotic: if you're done for today, catch up on monday :) [17:58] Cimi: I most definitely am - have a good weekend [17:58] (and now I have your mobile phone, so I can sms you if you disappear for too long! :P :P) [17:59] have a good weekend too otto ;) [17:59] chaotic: bye!
