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] I think it's called the Kitchen Sink, or something like that. [13:10] Ah, here it is: http://www.jonobacon.org/2011/05/19/building-the-kitchen-sink/ [13:11] 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] NateW, as for the second question, I had not heard of this Kitchen Sink before :-) [13:13] 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. [13:14] 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.) [13:15] NateW, CCSM and MyUnity already let you configure Unity [13:15] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/11/myunity-is-a-small-simple-unity-tweaking-tool/ [13:15] mpt: sure, but none are included as default =/ [13:16] mpt: which isn't much of a problem for me, as it would be for new users. [13:16] NateW, of course, anything included by default should be integrated properly, i.e. part of System Settings, not a separate tool. [13:16] mpt: exactly why I was asking. It'd be nice to have it built in. [13:19] NateW, I'm not really involved in Unity, so I'm not the person to ask about how much configurability will be built in [13:20] mpt: Who would be the one to talk to about this? [13:20] NateW, try JohnLea or christiangiordano [13:20] mpt: Sure, thanks. [13:20] mpt: are the usually on here, or another channel? [13:21] NateW, JohnLea was here yesterday. I don't know if Christian frequents this channel yet. [13:22] mpt: Would email be best? or another form of communication? [13:23] NateW, Christian is on the ayatana@ list. [13:24] There is also #ubuntu-power-users for questions regarding configuration tools and stuff like that. === Ronnie1 is now known as Ronnie [22:20] Alright. Looks like I'll need your help on this one. [22:20] http://askubuntu.com/questions/80864/why-doesnt-inkscape-recognize-the-ubuntu-color-palettes [22:28] Also, I added this awesome webapp to our resources page. http://colorschemedesigner.com/ [22:29] You can even simulate different types of colorblindness and it has a nice export function which can export the palettes to the GIMP format. [22:30] that is kind of nice [22:32] Oh wow! I didn't notice the preview function. Awesome! [22:32] the page examples? [22:33] pretty cool [22:34] and it can export a gimp palette [22:34] which I think works in inkscape too [22:36] Indeed. [22:38] Too bad he didn't release the source code of the latest version. [23:10] Oh yea, I forgot. We have our own Stack Exchange site for User Experience questions. http://ux.stackexchange.com/ [23:11] Same goes for graphic design but it is still in public beta.
