| coz_ | good day all | 14:27 |
|---|---|---|
| darkmatter | heya coz_ | 14:43 |
| coz_ | darkmatter, hey guy | 14:44 |
| coz_ | darkmatter, I found a sit to upload audio like flickr for graphics | 14:44 |
| darkmatter | nice | 14:44 |
| coz_ | darkmatter, I am uploading now will link when finished | 14:44 |
| * darkmatter is currently hacking together firefox theme :O | 14:44 | |
| darkmatter | kk | 14:44 |
| coz_ | oo firefox theme:) although I really enjoy that one you showd me | 14:45 |
| darkmatter | coz_: http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/456/screenshotfbj.png <-- modding the elementary firefox to be more native, less crap. nearly all the icons are coming from stock, minus just a few | 14:46 |
| coz_ | darkmatter, oh nice... I am getting tired of elementary stuff though,,way to much like a mac :( | 14:47 |
| darkmatter | coz_: yeah. bit I'm just doing it for fun. it's been almost a year since I themed ffx. I'd rather brush the rust out with hackerage than real work :P | 14:48 |
| coz_ | darkmatter, understood but I didnt mean to discourage... many love elementary stuff as I did at first | 14:50 |
| darkmatter | cozthe overall project is ok. but it is decidely mac-ish. the whole "fresh ideas" thing isn't very fresh :P) | 14:51 |
| coz_ | darkmatter, mac look is somewhat boring to me...especially now that someone said to me " mac did it right,,why play with anything else" | 14:51 |
| darkmatter | lol | 14:51 |
| coz_ | darkmatter, I did a double face palm and a "home alone" screem when they said that to me :) | 14:54 |
| darkmatter | coz_: the problem I have isnt so much the 'look'. that can be changed. I just don't like the cloning of mac apps. the only really appealing thing about eleentary (imho) is the lack of menubars. because we all know how I hate such things, global or otherwise :P | 14:54 |
| coz_ | darkmatter, i agree,, I actually find it a bit better than mac's appearance | 14:55 |
| darkmatter | not saying they're not doing a good job. I give them credit for all the code being committed. just to much mac :P | 14:55 |
| darkmatter | coz_: buy I do like "some" of it a lot, like the friendly error page being worked on for midori. kinda what I was talking about years ago regarding less error, more love, ala BeOS. quite diff, but same vein | 14:58 |
| coz_ | darkmatter, yeah i know DanRabbit and the guys are doing some fine work for sure | 14:59 |
| darkmatter | coz_: things like the error page http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/screenshots/nix/?order=5&offset=24#/d38wqvd | 15:01 |
| coz_ | nice :) | 15:01 |
| darkmatter | because I've talked about shit like that for/// ummm/// lost track of how many years :P | 15:01 |
| coz_ | :) yes I am well aware :) | 15:01 |
| coz_ | ok you guys have my flicker http://www.flickr.com/photos/57304627@N04/ | 15:02 |
| coz_ | here is my soundcloud http://soundcloud.com/cozziemoto | 15:02 |
| darkmatter | has "goofy" wording that could be less 'cool kid' crap, but the lack of text wall and actual choices beyong shreaking like a banshee woirks | 15:03 |
| darkmatter | k. looking in a sec. need coffee :P | 15:03 |
| coz_ | there are 3 pages... mm I must have been up all night :) | 15:03 |
| coz_ | eww the transcoding they do there is not that great damn damn damn | 15:04 |
| thorwil | oh boy, the Ubuntu DVD Packaging Artwork thread is so full of naivety, i don't even know where to start | 17:07 |
| * thorwil deletes thread and ponders unsubscribing once again | 17:07 | |
| doctormo | thorwil: morning | 18:46 |
| thorwil | morning doctormo | 18:46 |
| doctormo | thorwil: can I get your thoughts on the ideas in this wallpaper http://imagebin.org/136621 (not the execution, I have more work to do) | 18:47 |
| thorwil | hmmm | 18:51 |
| thorwil | doctormo: is that a mother happy to see the father coming from the other side? | 18:52 |
| thorwil | doctormo: it looks pretty well balanced to me | 18:53 |
| thorwil | doctormo: the far distance is maybe a bit dark. might be ok if you assume the sun is in the back of the viewer | 18:56 |
| doctormo | thorwil: Thanks :-) they also wanted a plain version, I'm still playing with it all http://imagebin.org/136624 | 19:01 |
| thorwil | doctormo: stream needs to be brighter in front | 19:04 |
| thorwil | who are 'they'? | 19:04 |
| doctormo | Edubuntu, trying to make a concept they'll be happy with. | 19:04 |
| doctormo | Since I think they've been disapointed with the results so far. | 19:05 |
| thorwil | really? a world map lacking new zealand sets a high standard! | 19:05 |
| doctormo | Awe, now you're just being vicious. what's this thread about on the mailing list? I haven't read it. | 19:07 |
| thorwil | doctormo: then don't do it ;) | 19:07 |
| thorwil | it's about how almost complete ignorance of the visual identity somehow allows to create artwork that can be used over a long time. and which application beats which, with gimp, ps, inkscape, corel draw and illustrator in the ring :} | 19:09 |
| doctormo | thorwil: I don't think I understand. You're saying that the discussion is about creating DVD box artwork which has no branding? | 19:16 |
| thorwil | doctormo: it's my point that it is somewhat absurd ... the author expressed that ignoring the ubuntu visual identity would allow long-time reuse of the work. he made it sound like the identity would change every few months ... | 19:18 |
| doctormo | heh | 19:19 |
| doctormo | How about every 5 years | 19:19 |
| doctormo | The author is slightly cookoo when it comes to Ubuntu art anyway. Check out his deviantArt page. | 19:19 |
| thorwil | isn't much of deviantart slightly cookoo? | 19:21 |
| doctormo | thorwil: It's based on the innner most parts of people's brains. Squishy. | 19:31 |
| thorwil | http://identitydesigned.com/royal-mail/ | 19:35 |
| doctormo | thorwil: God the colour is aweful. | 19:41 |
| * thorwil will have that colour for breakfast and like it! | 19:44 | |
