| PsynoKhi0 | hi | 11:27 |
|---|---|---|
| knome | hello | 11:27 |
| PsynoKhi0 | ochosi: ready for 8 more menu icons suggestions? ;P | 11:38 |
| PsynoKhi0 | or maybe knome? | 11:39 |
| ochosi | sure | 11:39 |
| PsynoKhi0 | well there are variations on the idea basically | 11:42 |
| PsynoKhi0 | http://img832.imageshack.us/i/panelit3bigmenubutton2.png/ | 11:42 |
| PsynoKhi0 | http://img820.imageshack.us/i/panelit3bigmenubutton3.png/ without the blue background | 11:42 |
| ochosi | hm, not (entirely) bad, but it doesn't really look like a button anymore | 11:43 |
| ochosi | iirc you wanted something that would make people click it | 11:43 |
| ochosi | it looks a bit like being just a bg-image of the panel now | 11:44 |
| PsynoKhi0 | patience!! :D | 11:44 |
| ochosi | but basically i get what you're suggesting and i think it's a possibly good direction | 11:44 |
| PsynoKhi0 | http://img251.imageshack.us/i/panelit3bigmenubutton5.png/ this one with the blue ubuntu logo inside the mouse | 11:45 |
| PsynoKhi0 | e.g. xubuntu's variation of the circle thingie | 11:45 |
| ochosi | hm, the overlay is a bit confusing | 11:46 |
| ochosi | sry, i got to go now | 11:46 |
| ochosi | we can discuss this later | 11:46 |
| ochosi | bbl | 11:47 |
| PsynoKhi0 | sure | 11:47 |
| PsynoKhi0 | cya! | 11:47 |
| PsynoKhi0 | knome: any opinion? | 11:47 |
| knome | PsynoKhi0, 2 is the best, but i agree with ochosi that it maybe needs some work to look more like a button | 11:51 |
| PsynoKhi0 | definitely, basically the idea was to check how having the XFCE mouse much bigger though slightly cut out would turn out | 11:57 |
| knome | mmh, i'm not sure, it isn't bad but i don't know if it's good enough | 11:57 |
| PsynoKhi0 | in what way? | 11:58 |
| PsynoKhi0 | not enough "this is a button" semantics? | 11:58 |
| knome | yeah | 11:58 |
| PsynoKhi0 | true | 11:59 |
| PsynoKhi0 | http://img145.imageshack.us/i/panelit3bigmenubutton6.png/ this one is a B&W inverted variation of the first | 11:59 |
| knome | mmh | 11:59 |
| knome | i'd say too much contrast | 11:59 |
| PsynoKhi0 | I see | 12:00 |
| knome | also, i'd say let's try to stick with the original colors | 12:00 |
| PsynoKhi0 | though IMO the menu button should contrast with the rest of the desktop due to it's central role | 12:00 |
| PsynoKhi0 | ok | 12:01 |
| PsynoKhi0 | http://img696.imageshack.us/i/panelit3bigmenubutton9.png/ this one I'm not too sure, kinda hard to figure out it's the blue ubuntu logo in the back | 12:01 |
| knome | yeah | 12:02 |
| PsynoKhi0 | having only the white mouse without a background is risky however with light themes | 12:03 |
| knome | true | 12:03 |
| PsynoKhi0 | so a black outline maybe | 12:03 |
| Sysi | (xfce4-screenshooter can take shots of part of the screen too) | 12:03 |
| PsynoKhi0 | I worked based on a screenshot provided by ochosi and I wanted to make sure people would get the idea of how the dektop would look like as a whole | 12:04 |
| Sysi | ah | 12:04 |
| PsynoKhi0 | though yes tweaking and uploading individual files in kind of a PitA ;) | 12:05 |
| PsynoKhi0 | http://img8.imageshack.us/i/panelit3bigmenubutton10.png/ didn't turn out so well :( | 12:19 |
| PsynoKhi0 | there might be a way to "buttonize" the mouse | 12:20 |
| Sysi | did we long time ago thought about icon with three mouses placed like kubuntu logo? | 12:22 |
| Sysi | kubuntu logo is so great but that small mouses may be problem | 12:22 |
| PsynoKhi0 | guess so... the current menu button is microscopic | 12:23 |
| Sysi | if we had text "Xubuntu" it wouldn't need translating.. but would it look bad? | 12:24 |
| PsynoKhi0 | from what I've gathered they want to avoid text | 12:25 |
| Sysi | i know | 12:26 |
| PsynoKhi0 | bbl | 12:33 |
| charlie-tca | Good morning | 15:15 |
| charlie-tca | Another wonderful day to improve what we can, but we can not allow things to become overwhelming! | 15:16 |
| PsynoKhi0 | ochosi: http://img17.imageshack.us/f/panelit3bigmenubutton12.png/ though it's flat | 15:27 |
| PsynoKhi0 | ah still away nvm | 15:27 |
| PsynoKhi0 | any taker? | 15:27 |
| charlie-tca | the netsplits are starting early today | 15:28 |
| ochosi_ | PsynoKhi0: the last version (with the arrow) is kinda funny, i remember tons of threads on ubuntuforums on how to get rid of the arrow in the gnome-menu :) | 16:22 |
| ochosi_ | PsynoKhi0: anyway, i think making the button "glow" might be a good idea | 16:23 |

| charlie-tca | ochosi: no workspace switcher in alpha3? | 16:45 |
| ochosi | charlie-tca: no i don't think we managed to do that change early enough | 16:46 |
| charlie-tca | We are doing it, though, right/ | 16:46 |
| charlie-tca | It is not in today's image, either | 16:47 |
| mr_pouit | Alpha 3 doesn't have the latest greybird nor the workspace switcher, because the alpha freeze started on sunday evening, and I wasn't available to upload the changes before | 16:47 |
| charlie-tca | Thanks. | 16:47 |
| * micahg thought it started Mon evening | 16:47 | |
| charlie-tca | Depends on the country you are in at the time | 16:47 |
| charlie-tca | Um, Beta1 is March 31 | 16:48 |
| * micahg doesn't think mr_pouit is in the Pacific Rim | 16:48 | |
| micahg | that makes no sense, ignore me | 16:48 |
| charlie-tca | mr_pouit is on the old schedule, perhaps? | 16:48 |
| charlie-tca | anyway, he said he will get it in for the beta, that counts | 16:49 |
| micahg | ochosi: if you can ping me when gmusicbrowser needs an upgrade, that would be great | 16:49 |
| ochosi | micahg: sure will do | 16:49 |
| ochosi | micahg: 1.1.7 is around the corner | 16:49 |
| ochosi | micahg: i talked to the dev yesterday and most of my changes will go upstream to that version, so very little to patch after that | 16:50 |
| mr_pouit | (it was "Alpha 3 freeze 2/27 2300 UTC", iirc) | 16:50 |
| micahg | oh,hmm, that almost seems like a typo | 16:51 |
| mr_pouit | ahah, maybe, I thought they had a good reason to freeze earlier than usual | 17:00 |
| charlie-tca | hm, blame me if I put that one in | 17:06 |
| mr_pouit | "new" greybird uploaded in xubuntu-artwork 11.04.2 | 17:12 |
| mr_pouit | the workspace switcher will follow, ochosi is doing some experiments at the moment ;P | 17:12 |
| charlie-tca | Thank you, mr_pouit. As always, that is greatly appreciated. | 17:12 |
| charlie-tca | I just wanted to know we had not forgotten workspace switcher, with all we try to get done. | 17:13 |
| === ochosi_ is now known as ochosi | ||
| pleia2 | charlie-tca: apologies for missing the meeting yesterday, recovering from a flu (no updates anyway, still waiting on that ticket) | 20:54 |
| charlie-tca | Better to recover than to wear yourself out. | 20:55 |
| knome | Better to drink than drive. | 20:55 |
| knome | oh wait... | 20:55 |
| knome | ;) | 20:55 |
| knome | that was a different onw | 20:55 |
| knome | *one | 20:55 |
| Sysi | "it's better to burn out than to fade away" :P | 20:57 |
| mr_pouit | "never run with scissors"? | 21:12 |
| knome | hmm | 21:35 |
| charlie-tca | Don't play with fire if you don't want to get burned | 21:39 |
| knome | don't play with fire unless you want to eat your food warm? | 21:40 |
| Sysi | are we heading to something? | 21:40 |
| knome | grace? | 21:40 |
| knome | *grave? | 21:40 |
| charlie-tca | hoping to stay on the green side of the dirt | 21:41 |
| knome | heh | 21:42 |
| knome | hoping that the dirt doesn't end up in our pants? | 21:42 |
| charlie-tca | or on them | 21:42 |
