thoraxI'd like to make some designs or icons for ubuntu. Who I could contact?08:47
LcawteMe two, but I was thinking more along the lines of themes and non-photographic wallpapers, hmm, ok, themes, do they need to be coded?08:48
thorwilLcawte: while there are theme engines (that are coded), themes themselves are basically configuration files08:53
Lcawtehmm08:53
LcawteI need to learn to use launchpad and ppa's :/08:54
thorwilthe easiest way to get into theming is taking an existing theme and modifying it08:55
thorwilunfortunately, the whole area tends to be severely under-documented08:55
Lcawteugh08:55
LcawteI'm not a huge fan of reading lots of documentation, but this maybe something I would read08:56
thorwilthe changes towards gnome3 and unity might further complicate matters. i mean, it might be advisable to wait for the dust to settle08:58
thorwilLcawte: regarding backgrounds: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation/Backgrounds08:59
LcawteI need a spare machine to test them on as well, this one is running a LAMP server and more, and it doesn't have the specs to be a decent testing machine as well08:59
thorwilyou perhaps already know the flickr pool: http://www.flickr.com/groups/ubuntu-artwork08:59
pentesileaLcawte: Did you already contact somebody08:59
Lcawtepentesilea: about?08:59
pentesileaDesign09:00
Lcawteno09:00
pentesileaDo you know, how i could do this?09:00
Lcawtepentesilea: I'm here asking the same things :P09:01
pentesileaok09:01
Lcawtethorwil: I do know the pool, but it seems to be just photo backgrounds, I only have a few photos big enough/worthy of being a background, and I'm not too great at touching images up, or I don't have the GIMP plugins and stuff09:02
thorwilLcawte: perhaps useful if you get serious about wallpapers: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/2011/01/20/backtestground-explained/09:02
thorwilLcawte: i know that's the impression. but non-photo wallpapers are collected there, too09:02
thorwilLcawte: this cycle there was a new rule making sure the judges selected at least a few non-photo wallpapers from there09:03
LcawteI saw that09:05
