| darkxst | jbicha, I suppose it needs to be finished before beta freeze? | 00:32 |
|---|---|---|
| jbicha | not exactly, we can get exceptions all the way until Final Freeze; of course, the sooner the better | 00:34 |
| darkxst | ok, np, I will have a play with it a bit later today | 00:35 |
| Pricey | names | 08:23 |
| smartboyhw | Oh jbicha is not here | 15:34 |
| TheLordOfTime | jbicha, smartboyhw was looking for you earlier, but /die'd | 17:09 |
| jbicha | it's rather late in his timezone | 17:10 |
| jbicha | he's welcome to email the list if he needs something | 17:11 |
| TheLordOfTime | :) | 17:13 |
| TheLordOfTime | !gnome-remix | 19:01 |
| TheLordOfTime | SILENCE UBOT5! | 19:01 |
| TheLordOfTime | I CONDEMN YOU! | 19:01 |
| darkxst | jbicha, did you want to keep the ubuntu logo in plymouth theme | 20:56 |
| jbicha | my instinct is to leave it out, but I haven't thought about it too much | 20:58 |

| darkxst | I think it would be best to leave a progress indicator, however if we drop the logo, that particular one isnt great | 21:24 |
| jbicha | my thinking was that the progress indicator could be the blinds shifting or scrolling across the screen | 21:25 |
| jbicha | i.e. no dots needed | 21:25 |
| jbicha | just an idea, I don't know how much work that is to implement, or if I'm even describing it clearly enough | 21:25 |
| darkxst | oh | 21:52 |
| darkxst | I suppose that might be possible | 21:53 |
| jbicha | yeah, sorry for not explaining what I was looking for at all :( | 22:00 |
| darkxst | atleast in the X11 renderer its a bit jittery | 22:06 |
| darkxst | i.e. scrolling the image across the screen | 22:07 |
| darkxst | Its probably just too much work for plymouth to handle (presumably its redrawing the picture each frame :( ) | 22:11 |
| darkxst | jbicha, I think you would need to create the illusion of moving, by having say 5 images | 22:18 |
| darkxst | and carefully cross-fading across the images | 22:19 |
| darkxst | jbicha, so basically I think we stick with the fade-in animation for 12.10 | 23:45 |
| darkxst | your scrolling blinds will require new artwork, and probably be quite tricky to design | 23:45 |
| jbicha | what do you mean by fade-in animation? | 23:47 |
| darkxst | I do have an idea for a progress indicator though, if we are allowed to use ubuntu artwork? | 23:47 |
| darkxst | my current animation, is like a fast version of the animated wallpaper | 23:48 |
| jbicha | I believe we can use the ubuntu logo | 23:48 |
| darkxst | can be color it? | 23:48 |
| darkxst | I am thinking we could use the circle of friends as an indicator | 23:48 |
| darkxst | ^logo | 23:48 |
| jbicha | ummm...maybe | 23:48 |
| darkxst | something like the orange shaded version of the logo (but in colours from the blinds pallete) | 23:49 |
| darkxst | and have the colours spinning around the logo | 23:50 |
| jbicha | you could post screenshots or a video to the list | 23:53 |
| jbicha | clean and simple is probably best (in other words, my blinds idea was probably too much; I guess there's a reason plymouth boot screen tend to have relatively simple animation) | 23:54 |
| darkxst | the fade-in works well, except we can't know how long the boot will take :( | 23:55 |
| darkxst | i.e its start at night blinds and fade through to the bright image | 23:56 |
| darkxst | hmm video of fade-in or logo indicator? | 23:56 |
| jbicha | can you fade back to the darker blinds? | 23:56 |
| darkxst | yes, I could loop it around | 23:57 |
| darkxst | although that kind of breaks my idea, of its like the computer slowly coming awake | 23:58 |
| jbicha | I believe Fedora has used a horizontal scrollbar for a few years so they've figured out how to measure boot status to some degree | 23:59 |
| jbicha | but Ubuntu tends to use a loop | 23:59 |
