[02:53] <DebolazW> Success, the code to make the message indicator blink works. :)
[14:41] <mhall119> AlanBell: I wish I could +1 your reply to that dodge ML thread
[14:42] <AlanBell> :)
[14:43] <AlanBell> I must say I am liking unity a lot more now I have rebuilt my laptop with an SSD and no encrypted home
[14:43] <AlanBell> sooo fast
[15:04] <DebolazW> mhall119: Hey, I finished implementing my notification icon change.
[15:06] <mhall119> DebolazW: cool, do you have a video of it?
[15:06] <gord> AlanBell, you mean unity itself is fast? or just program/system startup?
[15:07] <DebolazW> No, making one didn't really occur to me. I did however read up a bit more on previous discussions on the subject of making the notification icon more noticeable, it seems that what the people rejecting the idea really want is for the app (In my case, pidgin) to make more noise with its icon on the launcher.
[15:07] <DebolazW> (I did put it up in a ppa though)
[15:10] <AlanBell> gord: I mean the dash searches and displaying thumbnails is faster
[15:11] <AlanBell> and other stuff
[15:11] <DebolazW> Although I'm not entirely sure how the launcher icon would be able to animate in order to notify me of an incoming message.
[15:12] <DebolazW> As I understand it, the wiggle animation cannot be done continuously?
[15:12] <mhall119> DebolazW: set the "urgent" hint on the launcher to make it shake
[15:13] <mhall119> i dont know about making it continuous
[15:13] <DebolazW> mhall119: But is that shake continous or just a one time thing? (I can't remember, and I don't know which app I can use to check it)
[15:13] <mhall119> you can always unset it and set it again
[15:13] <DebolazW> Because if it just wiggles the one time I'm not in the room, it's really not helping me notice the message when I get back.
[15:14] <Daekdroom> Doesn't it stand out with a blue arrow next to the Launcher after it wiggles?
[15:14] <DebolazW> Daekdroom: If it's not animated, it doesn't stand out.
[15:15] <DebolazW> People notice change, not colors.
[15:17] <DebolazW> Ie, colors are good indicators if the system want to communicate something to me when I'm interested in looking at it. But not if I need to receive the notification without planning to look for it.
[15:20] <DebolazW> If I leave the computer and receive a message on IM while I'm gone, I want to know about it as soon as I get back, but it might not occur to me to look for it.
[15:22] <DebolazW> And to be honest, I do agree with the objection made to changing notification-messages, the launcher is a much better place to make such things noticable.
[15:39]  * DebolazW pokes jfi
[15:45] <DebolazW> jfi: I see you've done some work in implementing a counter for the icon, but it haven't been included yet. Is anything blocking it?
[16:59] <bschaefer> thomi, hey, could you poke jenkins for the ibus test? It seems to be stuck :(
[17:00] <thomi> uhh, sure
[17:00] <bschaefer> thanks
[17:01] <splnet> I just upgraded to 12.04. I have 2 blueman applets in the upper right hand corner. How do remove one of them?
[17:01] <bschaefer> anthy seems to sometimes still have the preload engine mode set to false :(, so now im testing if anthy works in GTK
[17:01] <thomi> bschaefer: it's running now it seems
[17:01] <bschaefer> thomi, thanks!
[17:02] <thomi> ahh, hang on, it's been running since May 2nd :(
[17:02] <thomi> It doesn't always want to stop when I hit the cancel button either :(
[17:03] <thomi> there we go
[17:03] <bschaefer> omg :(, did I cause that
[17:03] <bschaefer> ?
[17:03] <bschaefer> hmm
[17:03] <thomi> bschaefer: OK, running now
[17:03] <thomi> I need to switch rooms, and shut my laptop
[17:04] <thomi> brb
[17:04] <bschaefer> alright!
[17:05] <splnet> Is this the right channel to ask about applets? I don't see an intuitive way to delete/add applets to unity. In my case there are 2 blueman applets.
[18:15] <bschaefer> thomi, I think I broke it somehow :(, it doesn't get stuck on my local machine...
[18:16] <thomi> bschaefer: nah, it's probablt jenkins. Did it die again?
[18:16] <bschaefer> all I really added differently was having the ap test start "gnome-terminal"
[18:16] <bschaefer> well it just hasn't finished
[18:16] <thomi> bschaefer: OK, I can't look at it now, but if you poke me later I can take a peek
[18:16] <bschaefer> alright cool, thanks!
