| acanthus | hello | 07:22 |
|---|---|---|
| thorax | I'd like to make some designs or icons for ubuntu. Who I could contact? | 08:47 |
| Lcawte | Me 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 |
| thorwil | Lcawte: while there are theme engines (that are coded), themes themselves are basically configuration files | 08:53 |
| Lcawte | hmm | 08:53 |
| Lcawte | I need to learn to use launchpad and ppa's :/ | 08:54 |
| thorwil | the easiest way to get into theming is taking an existing theme and modifying it | 08:55 |
| thorwil | unfortunately, the whole area tends to be severely under-documented | 08:55 |
| Lcawte | ugh | 08:55 |
| Lcawte | I'm not a huge fan of reading lots of documentation, but this maybe something I would read | 08:56 |
| thorwil | the changes towards gnome3 and unity might further complicate matters. i mean, it might be advisable to wait for the dust to settle | 08:58 |
| thorwil | Lcawte: regarding backgrounds: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation/Backgrounds | 08:59 |
| Lcawte | I 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 well | 08:59 |
| thorwil | you perhaps already know the flickr pool: http://www.flickr.com/groups/ubuntu-artwork | 08:59 |
| pentesilea | Lcawte: Did you already contact somebody | 08:59 |
| Lcawte | pentesilea: about? | 08:59 |
| pentesilea | Design | 09:00 |
| Lcawte | no | 09:00 |
| pentesilea | Do you know, how i could do this? | 09:00 |
| Lcawte | pentesilea: I'm here asking the same things :P | 09:01 |
| pentesilea | ok | 09:01 |
| Lcawte | thorwil: 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 stuff | 09:02 |
| thorwil | Lcawte: perhaps useful if you get serious about wallpapers: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/2011/01/20/backtestground-explained/ | 09:02 |
| thorwil | Lcawte: i know that's the impression. but non-photo wallpapers are collected there, too | 09:02 |
| thorwil | Lcawte: this cycle there was a new rule making sure the judges selected at least a few non-photo wallpapers from there | 09:03 |
| Lcawte | I saw that | 09:05 |
