| snwh | yo, mpt, i hear you need an icon: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7027392/update-manager.png | 15:20 |
|---|---|---|
| mpt | Hey snwh :-) | 15:30 |
| mpt | snwh, that looks like Reda Lazri's. Have you changed it at all? | 15:30 |
| mpt | Oh, the logo is white rather than yellow | 15:31 |
| mpt | and the stripe thicknesses are reversed | 15:38 |
| snwh | mpt, his was a reboot of my original: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7027392/update-manager300.png | 15:42 |
| snwh | :) | 15:42 |
| snwh | and i was looking for a new metaphor | 15:42 |
| mpt | I see | 15:42 |
| snwh | and like the 'loading' thing | 15:42 |
| snwh | (took place on G+) | 15:42 |
| snwh | more or less i wanted your thoughts on that metaphor | 15:43 |
| mpt | It's kinda like a torrent, with segments downloading | 15:43 |
| snwh | i though of making it into little blocks assembling into the ubuntu logo | 15:44 |
| snwh | more package-ish | 15:44 |
| mpt | snwh, Escher-style? | 15:44 |
| snwh | M.C ? | 15:44 |
| snwh | i was thinking more Tetris | 15:44 |
| mpt | www.google.com/search?q=escher+metamorphosis&tbm=isch | 15:45 |
| snwh | one of my favourite artists | 15:45 |
| mpt | Might be a bit fiddly for icon size. :-) | 15:45 |
| mpt | Yeah, mine too | 15:45 |
| snwh | I have a huge poster of relavity | 15:46 |
| snwh | relativity* | 15:46 |
| snwh | </end random snwh trivia> | 15:46 |
| * snwh can't find a google image of what he has in mind | 15:48 | |
| snwh | mpt, something like this: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7027392/update-manager.png | 16:19 |
| snwh | with perhaps 'bad' squares falling from the bottom | 16:20 |
| === ckpringle_ is now known as ckpringle | ||
| mpt | snwh, eep, Matrix | 16:34 |
| mpt | snwh, actually, it reminds me even more of Space Invaders :-) | 16:36 |
| snwh | mpt, I was going for the video game look :) | 16:37 |
| mpt | snwh, I'll be reviewing the plausible proposals with Matthieu James on Monday or so | 16:38 |
| snwh | mpt cool | 16:40 |
| snwh | i added the 'bad' squares: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7027392/update-manager.png | 16:40 |
| snwh | rather 'old' | 16:41 |
| snwh | mpt, apologies for not going the ML route, but bugging you here would get more immediate feedback :) | 16:48 |
| mpt | {"error": "Service Unavailable"} | 17:02 |
| mpt | ah, there it is | 17:02 |
| mpt | snwh, that poor Ubuntu logo, you're maiming it | 17:03 |
| xnox | yeah, aren't the "official" guidelines say that ubuntu logo should not be modified and have a clear space around it.... until it went all purple and flowery in raring big fat button. | 17:09 |
| snwh | no, maiming then? :) | 17:10 |
| mpt | A maiming-free environment seems like a good thing to aim for. | 17:17 |
| mpt | I suspec the way to make the Dash button obvious is not to make it flowery, but to put it back in the menu bar, just colored. | 17:18 |
| mpt | (Which would also have the advantage that you could click to open the Dash without having to reveal the Launcher.) | 17:19 |
| snwh | i don't like the bfb hurricane at all -as i like to refer to it as | 17:20 |
| snwh | i agree, much like GS and Activities | 17:20 |
| snwh | and it could be hotcornered as well | 17:20 |
| mpt | yes indeed. | 17:20 |
| mpt | And free up space in the Launcher, and make the items in the Launcher behave more consistently. | 17:21 |
| snwh | the support should be at least added for the hotcorner if not on by default. | 17:21 |
| snwh | a launcher for applications | 17:22 |
| snwh | I don't think (when I use Unity) i ever use the button anyway, when super is much more convenient | 17:23 |
| snwh | nor do i click activities in GS | 17:23 |
| snwh | also if the button was returned to the launcher, one would get rid of that sometimes occurring menu-title duplication | 17:24 |
| mpt | Thunder File Edit | 17:25 |
| mpt | XChat IR XChat View Server | 17:25 |
| mpt | GIMP Im File Edit | 17:25 |
| mpt | etc | 17:25 |
| snwh | increasingly most GNOME | 17:25 |
| snwh | apps | 17:25 |
| snwh | since they migrate to the drop-down menu | 17:26 |
| snwh | thing | 17:26 |
| mpt | aka "Let's solve the menu organization problem by not organizing menu items at all" | 17:29 |
| snwh | it is quite annoying in nautilus, that there's the cog menu and the global menu, so you don't know which to open to get to a setting; i get that the nautilus settings are in the global menu and the setting for the current window are in the cog, but why break everything up | 17:32 |

| * mpt is finishing off https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ErrorTracker#settings-developer | 17:57 | |
| snwh | mpt, neat! that would be useful. is it something forthcoming? | 18:03 |
| mpt_ | snwh, yes, targeted for 13.04 | 18:47 |
| === mpt_ is now known as mpt | ||
| snwh | mpt does apport/crash dialog still need an icon? | 19:16 |
| mpt | snwh, yes :-) | 19:16 |
| snwh | mpt, anything you'd like it to be? | 19:18 |
| snwh | metaphor-wise | 19:18 |
| mpt | snwh, about 10% whimsy and 0% Ubuntu logo, but beyond that, I have no clue. :-) | 19:18 |
| snwh | mpt, okay. I'll start anew. :) | 19:20 |
| mpt | awesome | 19:20 |
| mpt | thank you | 19:20 |
| snwh | mpt how about something like this: http://thumb7.shutterstock.com/thumb_small/483673/483673,1272484664,2/stock-vector-quirky-drawing-of-crumpled-paper-airplane-51969973.jpg | 19:25 |
| mpt | snwh, that could work :-) | 19:31 |
| snwh | :) | 19:35 |
| * snwh makes paper airplanes to get a crumple to emulate. | 19:38 | |
