[00:32] jbicha, I suppose it needs to be finished before beta freeze? [00:34] not exactly, we can get exceptions all the way until Final Freeze; of course, the sooner the better [00:35] ok, np, I will have a play with it a bit later today [08:23] names [15:34] Oh jbicha is not here [17:09] jbicha, smartboyhw was looking for you earlier, but /die'd [17:10] it's rather late in his timezone [17:11] he's welcome to email the list if he needs something [17:13] :) [19:01] !gnome-remix [19:01] SILENCE UBOT5! [19:01] I CONDEMN YOU! [20:56] jbicha, did you want to keep the ubuntu logo in plymouth theme [20:58] my instinct is to leave it out, but I haven't thought about it too much [21:22] jbicha, https://www.dropbox.com/s/7k2aw3vgq8zadlx/Screenshot%20from%202012-09-19%2007%3A15%3A06.png [21:22] https://www.dropbox.com/s/uxkpvfpctaa1k27/Screenshot%20from%202012-09-19%2007%3A16%3A06.png [21:24] I think it would be best to leave a progress indicator, however if we drop the logo, that particular one isnt great [21:25] my thinking was that the progress indicator could be the blinds shifting or scrolling across the screen [21:25] i.e. no dots needed [21:25] just an idea, I don't know how much work that is to implement, or if I'm even describing it clearly enough [21:52] oh [21:53] I suppose that might be possible [22:00] yeah, sorry for not explaining what I was looking for at all :( [22:06] atleast in the X11 renderer its a bit jittery [22:07] i.e. scrolling the image across the screen [22:11] Its probably just too much work for plymouth to handle (presumably its redrawing the picture each frame :( ) [22:18] jbicha, I think you would need to create the illusion of moving, by having say 5 images [22:19] and carefully cross-fading across the images [23:45] jbicha, so basically I think we stick with the fade-in animation for 12.10 [23:45] your scrolling blinds will require new artwork, and probably be quite tricky to design [23:47] what do you mean by fade-in animation? [23:47] I do have an idea for a progress indicator though, if we are allowed to use ubuntu artwork? [23:48] my current animation, is like a fast version of the animated wallpaper [23:48] I believe we can use the ubuntu logo [23:48] can be color it? [23:48] I am thinking we could use the circle of friends as an indicator [23:48] ^logo [23:48] ummm...maybe [23:49] something like the orange shaded version of the logo (but in colours from the blinds pallete) [23:50] and have the colours spinning around the logo [23:53] you could post screenshots or a video to the list [23:54] 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) [23:55] the fade-in works well, except we can't know how long the boot will take :( [23:56] i.e its start at night blinds and fade through to the bright image [23:56] hmm video of fade-in or logo indicator? [23:56] can you fade back to the darker blinds? [23:57] yes, I could loop it around [23:58] although that kind of breaks my idea, of its like the computer slowly coming awake [23:59] 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] but Ubuntu tends to use a loop
