[00:05] <mhall119> hey AlanBell, where should I put links to phone mockups?
[00:05] <mhall119> http://people.ubuntu.com/~mhall119/uphone/#
[00:08] <AlanBell> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuPhone/Designs
[00:09] <AlanBell> looks nice mhall119
[00:13] <DrDruif> Ah, still with switching the Unity bar down when in portrait mode?
[00:13] <DrDruif> mhall119; you heard the wiki-pages are updated?
[00:14] <mhall119> DrDruif: yeah, since the design around the launcher was to use the abundant space, and preserve the scarce space
[00:14] <mhall119> I just added my links to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuPhone/Designs
[00:14] <DrDruif> Great =)
[00:15] <DrDruif> I actually like these mock-ups: http://nrutledge.blogspot.com/p/ubuntu-mobile-project.html
[00:16] <mhall119> DrDruif: yeah, those are nice
[00:16] <dmj726> mhall119: is that mockup of yours done in pencil?
[00:17] <dmj726> seems more like inkscape
[00:19] <mhall119> dmj726: it's Pencil, yes
[02:45] <eldron2323> Are there any UI designers here?
[20:53] <mhall119> AlanBell: what do you think of my indicators mockups http://people.ubuntu.com/~mhall119/uphone/# ?
[20:53] <mhall119> I was watching a video of Ubuntu on a new tablet, and trying to get an indicator icon with your finger seemed awkward to difficult
[20:54] <MrChrisDruif> Full screen indicators?
[20:55] <mhall119> full screen indicator menus
[20:55] <mhall119> but accessing them by dragging down the top-panel, then swiping left and right, rather than trying to hit the icon itself
[20:56] <mhall119> kind of a mix between how you access Android notifications and how you can navigate desktop Unity with the keyboard
[20:56] <AlanBell> ooooh nice mhall119
[20:56] <mhall119> it's nice in that it allows us to access all of Unity's indicators from the pull-down screen, not just notifications like in Android
[20:57] <MrChrisDruif> When you get a new email (just an example) it shows in the top-bar, but shows in the pull-down menu
[20:57] <mhall119> so you get network, sound menu (including playback controls) and calendar all from there
[20:57] <MrChrisDruif> With a nice big banner style button to access it
[20:58] <mhall119> MrChrisDruif: it turns the message indicator blue, dragging down shows you what is in the messaging menu, including mailbox counts
[20:58] <mhall119> pressing the Inbox item opens your inbox
[20:59] <MrChrisDruif> On android those lines are about twice as high, this is still a very small line to hit
[21:00] <mhall119> MrChrisDruif: yeah, my scale is probably too small
[21:00] <mhall119> but I like the visual
[21:34] <mhall119> MrChrisDruif: I spaced them out a little more, and on my 15" display at least, they are actual-size for my phone
[21:34]  * mhall119 is poking my non-touch screen to feel how difficult they are to hit
[21:35] <MrChrisDruif> And? Do they respond good to your input? =P
[21:36] <mhall119> they are still a little tight, but I'm not sure if that's because touching my screen is awkward, or because of their dimensions, but it's very close to being *right*
[22:47] <MrChrisDruif> Did you update the view link?
[22:49] <mhall119> MrChrisDruif: same URL, just refresh
[22:49] <mhall119> it doesn't look much different, I only changed the spacing by a handful of pixels between each item
[22:50] <MrChrisDruif> Alright, I didn't see much difference, that's why I asked
[22:51] <mhall119> if there isn't a wayward battery icon on the landscape indicators phone, then you've got the latest
