kklimondajcastro: yes, I just read it. I still have to decide whether we will be able to ship Transmission 2.2x in natty (as we won't be able to update one library in time) but hopefully I'll make the decision in the next few days and start looking and the new API :)06:45

kklimondajcastro: so, I've been thinking about how to use libunity with Transmission and I see few nice ways to use quick lists (for transfer limiting, pausing and unpausing) but I don't see any good use for the other APIs (numbers and progress) - any ideas? :)11:54

jcastrokklimonda: yeah I have some ideas14:14
jcastrokklimonda: if you have say, 5 things downloading14:14
jcastroshow a "5" and then a progress meter for all of them together14:14
jcastrothe way I use torrents is they're always kind of running for a long time14:15
kklimondajcastro: hmm.. yeah.. I think I can see that..14:17
jcastrokklimonda: so I was thinking like this ....14:18
jcastroI want to dl 5 torrents, so I queue em up14:19
jcastroshow 5 and a bar14:19
jcastroas torrent  5 downloads, show a progress until it's done14:19
jcastrothen it hits 4, and the bar starts over14:19
jcastroand so on ...14:19
jcastroor maybe users would prefer the bar show progress for all 5 as a whole14:19
kklimondajcastro: bah, Transmission doesn't have download queues afair14:21
jcastroahhhh14:21
jcastrothat's right, now I remember why I use deluge. :)14:21
jcastrowell that makes the progress bar easy then14:21
jcastroand you probably don't need the count?14:21
jcastro<-- off to meet the tax man, I'll bbl.14:22
kklimondajcastro: right, but the progress bar doesn't really say much if there are more than one torrent active.. :)14:22

PsynoKhi0heya, any Unity designer on? :)20:47
mmoussounihi20:51
mmoussouniI have a problem about unity20:51
mmoussouniis there somebody?20:52
PsynoKhi0chaotic: hi, are you the right person to get in touch with if one has a suggestion about Unity's appearance?20:57
PsynoKhi0Oh well here it goes, in case someone's reading: I think the top-left Ubuntu icon in Unity would be improved if there were visual clues that it actually does something21:25
PsynoKhi0had I not used the old GNOME desktop nor seen Unity videos, I doubt I would have seen that icon as more than mere decoration21:26
PsynoKhi0for example, I think the icon should e.g. lighten up when the Launcher bad slides out of the screen21:27
PsynoKhi0i.e. having the icon contrast with the rest of the desktop so that completely new users get a clue that this icon has some functionality linked to it21:29
PsynoKhi0that would make the interface more intuitive IMO21:29
PsynoKhi0as it stands, the icon is completely flat and its semantics are far from "Click me!" :)21:30
PsynoKhi0MS seem to think they can get away removing the "Start" text on the menu icon in vista and 7 due to the brand's mind share, but IMO that's a huge usability blunder21:31
PsynoKhi0*sigh* log food eh? :(21:32
OmegaPsynoKhi0: I agree.21:44
PsynoKhi0Omega: great! :)21:46
PsynoKhi0oy... "Launcher bar" not "Launcher bad"*21:46
PsynoKhi0Omega: are you part of the Ayanat team by any chance?21:51
PsynoKhi0Ayanata*21:51
OmegaPsynoKhi0: No.21:53
OmegaPsynoKhi0: I think this belongs on Ubuntu brainstorm, you could possible bring it up on the mailing list too.21:54
PsynoKhi0Omega: Brainstorm sounds good, gonna look into it, thanks!21:57
PsynoKhi0ok, submitted to the brainstorm :)22:32
PsynoKhi0and I managed to misspell the title ^^22:46
