MrChrisDruifI don't use the default theme ^_^18:17
MrChrisDruifI'll check gotwig18:17
gotwigMrChrisDruif: please do that :-) I am one of the(few) people that like the unity/ubuntu design, all in all...18:18
* MrChrisDruif uses GNOME Shell18:18
MrChrisDruifWith Faenza theme and IT has a proper monochrome theme throughout18:20
MrChrisDruifAnd agreed: the search icon in gedit is awful in Humanity18:20
MrChrisDruifgotwig; ^18:20
gotwigMrChrisDruif: so what we are going to do?18:21
gotwigMrChrisDruif: :-) do you work for canonical?18:21
MrChrisDruif=( nope18:22
MrChrisDruifReport bugs it the only thing I can think of gotwig18:22
gotwigMrChrisDruif: do you think I gotta chance?18:23
gotwigMrChrisDruif: do you got a link?18:23
MrChrisDruifTo work at Canonical?18:23
MrChrisDruifAnd I don't have a link18:24
gotwigMrChrisDruif: no. for the bug report. a project page,18:27
gotwigMrChrisDruif: I dont realy know where I have to report the bug18:27
MrChrisDruifIt'll be a launchpad page18:27
MrChrisDruifI can try to find it for you18:27
gotwigMrChrisDruif: oh pllease ^^ would be realy kind. are you a designer?18:28
MrChrisDruifNo, made some wrong decisions in my life. I'd like to learn somewhere, but don't know where I can learn it18:29
gotwigMrChrisDruif: hm, I am going to college to learn for programmer18:29
MrChrisDruifAnd why are you in this channel if I may ask? Design and programming don't strike me as close relatives18:30
gotwigMrChrisDruif: couse I dont want that (my) users use ugly interfaces18:32
gotwigMrChrisDruif: want to see my latest work?18:32
gotwigMrChrisDruif: about.me/gotwig...18:32
gotwigwithout the ... , sry18:32
MrChrisDruifOw, you asked for that cooking lens the other day ^_^18:34
thorwilMrChrisDruif: in design you often solve problem in a methodically fashion, within an iterative process. in contrast, programming often involves methodically and iteratively solving problem ;)18:35
MrChrisDruifthorwil; showdiff?18:36
thorwil 18:36
gotwigMrChrisDruif: yiip18:38
gotwigthorwil: says the designer ;)^^18:39
gotwigMrChrisDruif: so you got not link?..18:39
MrChrisDruifI was troubleshooting something on my own machine ^_^18:39
thorwilgotwig: i also program, though not professionally. of course there are differences, that might be described roughly with soft and squishy vs the unforgivingness of the machine18:41
gotwigthorwil: :-)18:41
gotwigthorwil: you know for what I am looking for ? A category for Ubuntu Software Center for Unity customization18:42
gotwigthere are over 20 programms out18:42
gotwigto customize unity somehow18:42
gotwige.g lenses , add functionality18:42
MrChrisDruifgotwig; https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/humanity-icon-theme but please make sure you won't make a duplicate bug18:42
gotwigbundling all that would be very good18:42
gotwigthorwil: ubuntu has potential, but it gets lower and lower18:43
gotwigbecouse they dont market it, like apple ® and co.18:43
gotwigI mean less and less18:44
thorwilhere i doubt that you have a clear picture of the marketing that is happening, and the cost of doing more/other18:45
MrChrisDruifgotwig; also: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs18:45
gotwigMrChrisDruif: I reported a lot of bugs ;)18:47
gotwigthorwil: I am a long time ubuntu user.18:47
gotwigthorwil: I only think that the design team could do more for ad's18:48
gotwigor e.g the images in Software Center18:48
gotwigthere are JUST 4-5 slides out there?18:48
MrChrisDruifgotwig; I thought we had an commerce team?18:48
gotwigI know18:48
gotwigwrong channel :X18:48
MrChrisDruifBut granted, Ubiquity could use more slides18:49
gotwignot ubiquity ^^18:51
gotwigubiquity could need somehow graphical effects18:51
gotwigand ubuntu needs something other than compiz18:52
gotwigor better, unity18:52
gotwigmutter is not bad18:52
gotwigand I want rounded corners back18:52
MrChrisDruif....18:52
gotwigwhy were they there in lucid?18:52
MrChrisDruifBecause they looked awesome?18:53
gotwigRealy look at them...18:53
* MrChrisDruif thinks those things you mentioned are already implemented in GNOME Shell18:53
MrChrisDruifWhich uses clutter afaik18:53
gotwigits funny for me18:53
gotwigthe name of the application18:53
gotwigcouse I am german, and mutter means Mother xD18:54
MrChrisDruifGhehe18:54
MrChrisDruifWell, clutter is a funny word in English ;-)18:54
gotwigso why no clutter/mother? is it too restrictive18:54
MrChrisDruifI have no technical knowledge in what the restrictions of clutter/mutter are as opposed to compix18:55
MrChrisDruifcompiz even18:55
