[14:31] astraljava: will you be able to finish updating the ubiquitiy plugin and file the FFe? [14:32] knome: this weekend i commit to getting the slideshow stuff reconciled, but that really isn't going to affect you i guess [14:49] scott-work, after playing with the beta for a bit, I have found that backdrop distracting. (the one with the extruded hex tiles, just to make sure I have the right one) [14:50] It is quite bright where it shows around the working window(s) [14:52] There have been a number of backdrops submitted, perhaps a darker one would be better. Or something with the busy-ness in the middle where the window would cover that part while working. [14:57] The login screen is nice though. [15:01] scott-work, not really. just tell me when you've done the editing though so i can merge to the main branch :) [15:18] len: i agree, but that was just to set _something_ for the time being [15:22] len: this is the image that dick macinnis (who is working on our art) has submitted for the desktop wallpaper: http://imagebin.org/201710 [15:23] i agree with a backdrop that is not busy or distracting [15:42] yeah... i always change it too [15:42] its a brand though [15:42] its brite [15:42] i think it might be doing a service branding wise [15:43] though... i would prefer something more subtle [21:23] scott-work: I will, on Sunday. During the working week I'm too exhausted, the temp job is killing me. [21:24] scott-work, http://imagebin.org/201710 looks nicer though in parts very bright, but at least the transitions are slower and less distracting. I think the brightness levels of the backdrop can be adjusted if I remember right, so maybe a lower brightness would help. [21:57] astraljava: i understand [21:58] len: i would still like to work with macinnis to get closer to realizing my vision, but we certainly have this which i believe to be better (i.e. less distracting) than our outher existing wallpapers [22:19] Yup, much better. [22:20] len: while i don't intend to make many changes to the panel, i really do want to change orage to make it a functional calender [22:20] The panel is broken, you need to at least remove the broken stuff [22:21] I just tried todays ISO and when I double click on the time orage came up just fine. [22:22] scott-work ... at least running live, the live session seems very true to the installed session. [22:23] I would replace one of the broken icons with xchat BTW ;-) [22:25] However, new kernel, Jack-rt need to get done. [23:29] ScottL, I know you are not home yet, but thought I would expand on what I have found with orage. [23:31] The advantage to staying with xfceclock is that from boot or login, orage is not running and taking up resources. [23:32] Double clicking on the clock does start orage and a calendar apears on the desktop. However, closing orage does not stop it. ps shows it still running. [23:34] I am not sure what happens once it starts and logout and login happens. It may then self start at next login. [23:35] Also, once an appointment is set up, I would think orage has to be running in order to indicate to the user the start of an appointment. [23:37] Replacing the clock with orage means that appointments will always work. Only one click is needed to show the calendar and another hides it again. The calendar then remembers what part of the screen you moved it to. [23:38] I guess it remembers position anyways.
