wendarIt seems I missed MrChrisDruif by about 20 mins :(02:08
wendarI'll email him so he gets a reply...02:16
AlanBellhmm, I see an interesting problem with this design process and what is going on with the 4digits thing on google docs07:54
AlanBellthe only comment so far is a circle round the quit button and comment that it needs a clearer icon07:55
AlanBellno, it doesn't!07:55
AlanBellarguably the GTK-STOCK-QUIT icon in the human theme could be improved http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/2.90/gtk3-Stock-Items.html#GTK-STOCK-QUIT:CAPS07:55
AlanBellbut changing the icon on one application to something a designer might think is more quitish for that application is the wrong thing to do07:56
AlanBellyou could move the buttons about, add text to them (which increases the translation effort) or remove it altogether (the window has a close button) but messing with icons because you don't like the stock icon makes an inconsistent desktop and applications that don't honour icon theme changes07:59
AlanBellalso that kind of thinking breaks accessibility when people decide not to use standard widgets08:00
AlanBellanyone even tested what orca reads that button as?08:01
mainerrorAlanBell: Uhm, where is that design review process?09:30

MrChrisDruifAloha alourie12:13
alouriehi MrChrisDruif12:17
MrChrisDruifHow's it going?12:17
alourieMrChrisDruif: great12:18
MrChrisDruifGood to hear =)12:18
alourieI'm working on QA wiki update, and we kind of miss couple of icons12:18
alouriewho can we talk to about this?12:18
MrChrisDruifI don't know. What kind of icons are you missing?12:19
alourieMrChrisDruif: well, we need a calendar one12:25
alourieso, I used "notes" here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AlexLourie/QAWikiNew12:26
alouriebut, I think scheduling pictogram should be better for it12:27
MrChrisDruifYou know three of the 5 icons are scrollable?12:28
MrChrisDruifYou forgot to set the width12:29
MrChrisDruifI think12:29
MrChrisDruifYup, you forgot to set the width of those three12:30
* MrChrisDruif is wiki-guru at times12:30
alourieMrChrisDruif: yea, I will fix them12:32
alouriethanks :-), I didn't know why does this happen12:32
MrChrisDruifOh my gosh, I didn't knew we had so many icons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IconsPage12:33
MrChrisDruifalourie; I think it's due to you using svg icons12:34
MrChrisDruifThis link is more helpfull on the wiki pages: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IconsPage12:34
alourieMrChrisDruif: but this is so...Gnome 112:35
alouriemaybe 2 :-)12:35
alouriewe're in orange age now12:35
MrChrisDruifhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/IconsPage#Pictograms12:35
MrChrisDruifThere12:36
alourieit's just one!12:36
alouriewe need more!12:36
alourieI wonder where would I find SVG/PNG guru for fixing up a schedule pictogram12:38
alourieAH!!!12:39
alouriegot it12:39
alouriehere http://spreadubuntu.org/en/material/unusual/ubuntu-pictograms12:39
MrChrisDruifIt's just one?12:39
MrChrisDruifIt's a whole list12:39
alourieMrChrisDruif: I'll cut and paste one from there12:40
MrChrisDruifBtw, here is a whole list of svg's http://design.canonical.com/brand/Pictograms/SVG_files/HEX/UBUNTU_ORANGE_HEX/12:41
alourieMrChrisDruif: yea, got thise12:42
alouriethose12:42
MrChrisDruifHere are them in png: http://design.canonical.com/brand/Pictograms/PNG_files/HEX/UBUNTU_ORANGE_HEX/12:43
alouriegot them too :-)12:44
alourieis using pngs better than svgs in wiki?12:44
MrChrisDruifWell, the first one of your banner was a png, and you didn't have to set the width for it I noticed12:45
MrChrisDruifI think all those icons should be referable in the wiki btw.12:45
alourieMrChrisDruif: they are12:46
MrChrisDruifI'll add it on the "to-do" list of the Design team12:46
MrChrisDruifNot all I think12:46
alouriewell, I attached them myself, I think they need to have their own page, yes12:46
MrChrisDruifThere are 60 in total12:46
alourieso using them would be convenient12:46
MrChrisDruifBut https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IconsPage#Pictograms only lists 1312:47
MrChrisDruifAnd also add creating a calendar one =)12:48
alouriewow, awesome12:48
alourieIn general, I could add it, right?12:49
MrChrisDruifIf you create one (you've got the guidelines) then sure12:49
alourieMrChrisDruif: well, I just copy one from the spreadubuntu12:50
MrChrisDruifalourie; here are the guidelines described: http://spreadubuntu.org/files/pict7005.png12:51
alourieMrChrisDruif: sure, so if I only cat and paste one, would that count?12:52
alouries/cat/cut/12:52
MrChrisDruifI see leogg already made one for calendar12:52
alourieexactly12:52
MrChrisDruifWell, for now it's alright if you take that. But please keep hanging around, I've got an idea for calendar which doesn't point it to the "19th"12:54
alourieMrChrisDruif: oh, great12:55
alouriewould that be soon :-) ?12:55
MrChrisDruifI hope so, but I'll also add it to the projects12:56
alouriegreat12:57
alouriethank you very much12:57
alourieMrChrisDruif:  if I'm not here when you have it, I'd appreciate if you ping me on QA maillist or through other QA folks :-)12:58
alourienot urgent though12:58
alouriebut ideally before P cycle ends :-)12:58
MrChrisDruifalourie; got an IRC channel you hang around in a lot?12:59
alourieMrChrisDruif: sure, -bugs, -testing, -brainstorm and -community-team are usually the ones I'm constantly around12:59
MrChrisDruifI'll add all current icons at least before P cycle ends. I hope that the calendar icon I've got in mind also is finished before that13:00
