[11:27] hi [11:27] hello [11:38] ochosi: ready for 8 more menu icons suggestions? ;P [11:39] or maybe knome? [11:39] sure [11:42] well there are variations on the idea basically [11:42] http://img832.imageshack.us/i/panelit3bigmenubutton2.png/ [11:42] http://img820.imageshack.us/i/panelit3bigmenubutton3.png/ without the blue background [11:43] hm, not (entirely) bad, but it doesn't really look like a button anymore [11:43] iirc you wanted something that would make people click it [11:44] it looks a bit like being just a bg-image of the panel now [11:44] patience!! :D [11:44] but basically i get what you're suggesting and i think it's a possibly good direction [11:45] http://img251.imageshack.us/i/panelit3bigmenubutton5.png/ this one with the blue ubuntu logo inside the mouse [11:45] e.g. xubuntu's variation of the circle thingie [11:46] hm, the overlay is a bit confusing [11:46] sry, i got to go now [11:46] we can discuss this later [11:47] bbl [11:47] sure [11:47] cya! [11:47] knome: any opinion? [11:51] PsynoKhi0, 2 is the best, but i agree with ochosi that it maybe needs some work to look more like a button [11:57] definitely, basically the idea was to check how having the XFCE mouse much bigger though slightly cut out would turn out [11:57] mmh, i'm not sure, it isn't bad but i don't know if it's good enough [11:58] in what way? [11:58] not enough "this is a button" semantics? [11:58] yeah [11:59] true [11:59] http://img145.imageshack.us/i/panelit3bigmenubutton6.png/ this one is a B&W inverted variation of the first [11:59] mmh [11:59] i'd say too much contrast [12:00] I see [12:00] also, i'd say let's try to stick with the original colors [12:00] though IMO the menu button should contrast with the rest of the desktop due to it's central role [12:01] ok [12:01] 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 [12:02] yeah [12:03] having only the white mouse without a background is risky however with light themes [12:03] true [12:03] so a black outline maybe [12:03] (xfce4-screenshooter can take shots of part of the screen too) [12:04] 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] ah [12:05] though yes tweaking and uploading individual files in kind of a PitA ;) [12:19] http://img8.imageshack.us/i/panelit3bigmenubutton10.png/ didn't turn out so well :( [12:20] there might be a way to "buttonize" the mouse [12:22] did we long time ago thought about icon with three mouses placed like kubuntu logo? [12:22] kubuntu logo is so great but that small mouses may be problem [12:23] guess so... the current menu button is microscopic [12:24] if we had text "Xubuntu" it wouldn't need translating.. but would it look bad? [12:25] from what I've gathered they want to avoid text [12:26] i know [12:33] bbl [15:15] Good morning [15:16] Another wonderful day to improve what we can, but we can not allow things to become overwhelming! [15:27] ochosi: http://img17.imageshack.us/f/panelit3bigmenubutton12.png/ though it's flat [15:27] ah still away nvm [15:27] any taker? [15:28] the netsplits are starting early today [16:22] 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 :) [16:23] PsynoKhi0: anyway, i think making the button "glow" might be a good idea === cody-somerville_ is now known as cody-somerville === ochosi_ is now known as ochosi [16:45] ochosi: no workspace switcher in alpha3? [16:46] charlie-tca: no i don't think we managed to do that change early enough [16:46] We are doing it, though, right/ [16:47] It is not in today's image, either [16:47] 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] Thanks. [16:47] * micahg thought it started Mon evening [16:47] Depends on the country you are in at the time [16:48] Um, Beta1 is March 31 [16:48] * micahg doesn't think mr_pouit is in the Pacific Rim [16:48] that makes no sense, ignore me [16:48] mr_pouit is on the old schedule, perhaps? [16:49] anyway, he said he will get it in for the beta, that counts [16:49] ochosi: if you can ping me when gmusicbrowser needs an upgrade, that would be great [16:49] micahg: sure will do [16:49] micahg: 1.1.7 is around the corner [16:50] 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] (it was "Alpha 3 freeze 2/27 2300 UTC", iirc) [16:51] oh,hmm, that almost seems like a typo [17:00] ahah, maybe, I thought they had a good reason to freeze earlier than usual [17:06] hm, blame me if I put that one in [17:12] "new" greybird uploaded in xubuntu-artwork 11.04.2 [17:12] the workspace switcher will follow, ochosi is doing some experiments at the moment ;P [17:12] Thank you, mr_pouit. As always, that is greatly appreciated. [17:13] I just wanted to know we had not forgotten workspace switcher, with all we try to get done. === ochosi_ is now known as ochosi [20:54] charlie-tca: apologies for missing the meeting yesterday, recovering from a flu (no updates anyway, still waiting on that ticket) [20:55] Better to recover than to wear yourself out. [20:55] Better to drink than drive. [20:55] oh wait... [20:55] ;) [20:55] that was a different onw [20:55] *one [20:57] "it's better to burn out than to fade away" :P [21:12] "never run with scissors"? [21:35] hmm [21:39] Don't play with fire if you don't want to get burned [21:40] don't play with fire unless you want to eat your food warm? [21:40] are we heading to something? [21:40] grace? [21:40] *grave? [21:41] hoping to stay on the green side of the dirt [21:42] heh [21:42] hoping that the dirt doesn't end up in our pants? [21:42] or on them
