ochosiknome: what do you think of this replacement for the current xfwm4-icon (in settings-manager): http://imagebin.org/18966708:39
knomeochosi, i'm not sure. is the window shaded?11:37
ochosiknome: well kinda. i wanted to focus on the decoration, i think any window content would make the icon less clear12:59
knomei suppose, but what about just grey block?13:09
knomeanybody testing 12.04 available?13:11
ochosihm, i can try, but i think it might look odd13:11
knomemaybe13:11
knomeor then just remove the BG-image13:11
knomejust draw the window :)13:11
knome(== replace BG-image with grey)13:11
ochosilooks empty: http://imagebin.org/18970113:12
knomedon't use white, use grey13:13
knomealso, what does that look in context?13:13
knomeisn't that what matters most :)13:13
ochosigrey: http://imagebin.org/18970213:14
knomemmmh. maybe little lighter13:14
knomebut i think that's okayish13:14
knomeyou could add some "text" in it like the notification icon13:15
knomeor textboxes13:15
knomesomething very subtle13:15
knomei can draw that too if you want13:15
ochosiin context: http://imagebin.org/18970313:17
ochosi(and brighter grey)13:17
ochosiyeah, if you could that'd be nice13:17
ochosii'm not sure i have a good idea of what you would wanna do13:17
knomeoki, just a sec, i'll fix the meeting agenda first13:17
ochosianother option is to show more than one window13:17
ochosia bit like in sessions and startup13:17
ochosior just two windows stacked on top of each other13:18
ochosii think the wm-tweaks should then also be changed accordingly13:18
ochosii like the wand-metaphor though13:18
knomemmh13:19
knomei think the xfwm part in that icon looks a bit big13:19
ochosiyou mean the close,max,min buttons?13:20
ochosior the window-border as a whole13:20
knomeas whole13:22
knomelet me start a *cough* image editor13:22
knomewhat's the image size again?13:24
ochosi48px13:24
knomeoki13:24
ochosido you want the svg?13:24
knomenope13:24
knomegoing pixel-editing13:24
knomeochosi, http://temp.knome.fi/xubuntu/precise_icons/win_man.jpg13:36
knometextboxes could be more sublte13:36
knome*subtle13:36
ochosimm, doesn't look half-bad14:11
ochosii think subtler textboxes would be better14:12
ochosiwindow-content shouldn't stand out too much14:12
knomeyup14:25
knomehttp://temp.knome.fi/xubuntu/precise_icons/win_man-2.jpg14:26
ochosihm, i'm thinking whether an "ok" button in the bottom-right corner would look good14:27
ochosii mean in general it's already nice14:27
knomeheh14:27
ochosimaybe "cancel" and "apply" (without the text, just empty buttons)14:28
knomehttp://temp.knome.fi/xubuntu/precise_icons/win_man-3.jpg14:29
ochosiis it my poor eyes or is the left one a tad smaller? :)14:31
ochosii think i like that14:31
knomeyup, they're the same size :P14:35
ochosik, do you wanna keep it a png or vectorize it?14:37
knomemight be hard to vectorize14:38
knomenot sure if it's worth it14:38
ochosimhm, we'll have to check whether svg and png work alongside in the icon-theme14:38
