| NateW | mpt: ping | 13:08 |
| mpt | hello NateW | 13:09 |
| NateW | mpt: Just have a simple question about the 12.04 cycle. AFAIK it will be focusing a bit more on power users correct? If so, will the tool Jono was talking about be worked on? | 13:10 |
| NateW | I think it's called the Kitchen Sink, or something like that. | 13:10 |
| NateW | Ah, here it is: http://www.jonobacon.org/2011/05/19/building-the-kitchen-sink/ | 13:10 |
| mpt | NateW, the answer to your first question is I don't know, but any focus identified at the beginning of the cycle usually doesn't pan out | 13:11 |
| mpt | NateW, as for the second question, I had not heard of this Kitchen Sink before :-) | 13:11 |
| NateW | mpt: Fair enough. The reason for me asking, is personally I love Unity, but I think the problem most people have with it, isn't features that it's lacking, but missing the configurability we used to have back with gnome 2.x. I really think a tool like that would really benefit the release. | 13:13 |
| NateW | mpt: So if there was a better way to configure with more options, I think it would make more people adopt the idea. (Such as globalmenu options, launcher placement, etc.) | 13:14 |
| mpt | NateW, CCSM and MyUnity already let you configure Unity | 13:15 |
| mpt | http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/11/myunity-is-a-small-simple-unity-tweaking-tool/ | 13:15 |
| NateW | mpt: sure, but none are included as default =/ | 13:15 |
| NateW | mpt: which isn't much of a problem for me, as it would be for new users. | 13:16 |
| mpt | NateW, of course, anything included by default should be integrated properly, i.e. part of System Settings, not a separate tool. | 13:16 |
| NateW | mpt: exactly why I was asking. It'd be nice to have it built in. | 13:16 |
| mpt | NateW, I'm not really involved in Unity, so I'm not the person to ask about how much configurability will be built in | 13:19 |
| NateW | mpt: Who would be the one to talk to about this? | 13:20 |
| mpt | NateW, try JohnLea or christiangiordano | 13:20 |
| NateW | mpt: Sure, thanks. | 13:20 |
| NateW | mpt: are the usually on here, or another channel? | 13:20 |
| mpt | NateW, JohnLea was here yesterday. I don't know if Christian frequents this channel yet. | 13:21 |
| NateW | mpt: Would email be best? or another form of communication? | 13:22 |
| mpt | NateW, Christian is on the ayatana@ list. | 13:23 |
| mainerror | There is also #ubuntu-power-users for questions regarding configuration tools and stuff like that. | 13:24 |

| mainerror | Alright. Looks like I'll need your help on this one. | 22:20 |
| mainerror | http://askubuntu.com/questions/80864/why-doesnt-inkscape-recognize-the-ubuntu-color-palettes | 22:20 |
| mainerror | Also, I added this awesome webapp to our resources page. http://colorschemedesigner.com/ | 22:28 |
| mainerror | You can even simulate different types of colorblindness and it has a nice export function which can export the palettes to the GIMP format. | 22:29 |
| AlanBell | that is kind of nice | 22:30 |
| mainerror | Oh wow! I didn't notice the preview function. Awesome! | 22:32 |
| AlanBell | the page examples? | 22:32 |
| AlanBell | pretty cool | 22:33 |
| AlanBell | and it can export a gimp palette | 22:34 |
| AlanBell | which I think works in inkscape too | 22:34 |
| mainerror | Indeed. | 22:36 |
| mainerror | Too bad he didn't release the source code of the latest version. | 22:38 |
| mainerror | Oh yea, I forgot. We have our own Stack Exchange site for User Experience questions. http://ux.stackexchange.com/ | 23:10 |
| mainerror | Same goes for graphic design but it is still in public beta. You can ask and answer questions as you'd do on Ask Ubuntu though. http://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/ | 23:11 |
