krytarikIf anyone wants to have a look before I push this to the -menu branch: http://paste.openstack.org/show/CJjsBGMD1fUGIZkclYpd/03:26
sakrecoerkrytarik: in usr/share/applications/ubuntustudio-contribute.desktop09:32
sakrecoerline 3809:32
sakrecoerIt should be "Lire comment rendre Ubuntu Studio meilleur !"09:32
sakrecoeror "Lisez comment vous pouvez rendre Ubuntu Studio meilleur !"09:32
sakrecoerbut the first one is more sympathicaly neutral09:34
sakrecoersecond option is in imperative, sounds a bit like an order.09:34
sakrecoerthe current one is a mix a both, it's not wrong perse, but it's ugly.09:35
sakrecoerFrench, is a huge head f*** by nature anyways, i might get contradicted, so if you feel lazy, leave it as is.... HOwever, as it is now, i would take advantage of french vocabulary and put it like this:  "Lire comment aider à ameilleurer Ubuntu Studio"09:37
sakrecoerNo, sorry rather "Lire comment ameilleurer Ubuntu Studio" No other language seems to say "_help_ make us better"09:39
sakrecoer"ameilleurer" is the exact verb to say "make better". "Rendre Meilleur" isn't wrong per-se but flags: "lack of vocabulary"09:40
sakrecoerzequence: http://sakrecoer.com/ubuntustudio/zequence_reinterp_sakrecoer1604.png09:41
sakrecoerstill just a sketch, the emission material makes the logo looks fater than it is...09:42
sakrecoerlater today i'll show you the tile for dualscreen..09:42
sakrecoerthat version i just posted is 3mb.. unsure if that isn't a bit much..09:43
zequencesakrecoer: Not bad. I still haven't checked knome's proposal for the CoFs. Will do that shortly, and then perhaps we should use those09:48
sakrecoeryes! that would be great!09:49
zequenceThe one I use has a bit of blue in the borders, since I gimped out the original blue off it. Gives it a bit of glow09:49
sakrecoeri used the old CoF in there, purely out of respect for you zequence :)09:49
sakrecoeri notice, and i have fixed the blender material to have a lower emission, and a bit of blue fresnel ;)09:50
zequenceLooks pixely too, so that could be improved09:50
sakrecoeryeah, it happens in cycle when there is too much light... it has a value that a screen can't render..09:50
zequencesakrecoer: Does look even more Ubuntu now, though09:51
sakrecoeri know, that is the fold-line effect09:52
sakrecoerthought that was your intention with the second proposal..09:52
zequencesakrecoer: Not just that. Less color variation09:52
zequenceWell, not entirely09:52
zequenceI was looking for encapsulating the colors more clearly09:52
sakrecoerzequence: funny, id' say there are more variation, but never mind :)09:52
zequencelooking to*09:52
zequencesakrecoer: Less of a range is what I mean09:52
zequenceOr, less dynamic anyway09:53
sakrecoerthere is less orange, agreed :)09:53
zequenceThere's no light blue at all either09:53
sakrecoerwell, i based it on your first proposal.09:54
sakrecoerbut i've put that blue in the fresnel of the logo now..09:54
sakrecoerill show you later today09:54
zequencesakrecoer: Consider making it more tricolor. That is the original idea, after all09:56
sakrecoerok, i will do!09:57
sakrecoeri'll upload the sources too, if you fancy tuning the colors.. :)09:57
sakrecoeri'll go eat now! cya in a bit!10:03
zequencesakrecoer: Alright10:08
zequenceThis aught to be my final version of this mockup. If I decide to release it somehow, I'll still fix a few details. I'm not considering it as a default wallpaper, anywho https://cloud.mousike.me/index.php/s/eUygTMH2fI0Id2p10:18
krytariksakrecoer: Nice spotting on the French translation there!  Those were synced from Xubuntu, and just adapted to our flavor name.  And eww indeed, I'll go with "Lire comment améliorer Ubuntu Studio !" then.12:11
zequenceI'm kind of wondering now which desktop file should be where. The -menu should not include anything else except the additional multimedia menu logic, IMO. Since, it's not an integral part of the distro12:38
zequenceSo, help files and such should go in -default-settings, which you get with -desktop12:38
zequenceThose go together12:38
zequenceI'll have a go through of the sources and see what belongs where12:39
zequenceYeah, we should move those ubuntustudio info menu part into -default-settings12:40
krytarikI was thinking of the desktop-agnostic bit there.12:42
zequenceWe have some settings in -default-settings that aren't DE specific12:43
krytarikAnyway, should I just push those changes for now?  Because I'm just about to. :P12:43
zequenceSure12:43
krytarikDone.12:46
zequenceThe menu is not part of our distro, is what I mean. It's a component we use, but you can use it without Ubuntu Studio12:59
zequenceThe interesting part of it is how it uses freedesktop categories in order to sort out the multimedia starters13:00
zequenceWell, that is what I've been working for it to do exclusively13:00
zequenceSo, the menu is not Ubuntu Studio specific. It's simply an enhanced freedesktop standard, tuned towards multimedia use13:01
zequenceIt could even be named something else, and added to Debian13:01
zequence..so that all Debian derived can use it13:01
zequenceCurrently, it's very much customized towards Ubuntu Studio, which is not optimal, I think13:02
zequenceBut, there are more things that need to be changed, so I won't touch it right now13:03
zequencedependency on -installer, for instance13:03
sakrecoergot a strange update for Ubuntu Studio Base today, "XSL stylesheets for the yelp help browser"13:11
sakrecoerit warns me that "this will require installation from untrusted sources. :D13:11
zequenceIt's actually ubuntu base13:11
zequenceIt just renames it to ubuntustudio13:12
zequencePerhaps there's some non-free stuff in that?13:12
zequenceOr, it's from Gnome directly, or something13:12
zequenceShould be free stuff13:12
sakrecoerok wondering why the "source is untrusted" then...13:14
sakrecoerjust read a terrible article about yelp..13:16
sakrecoeroff-topic anyway13:16
zequenceIt's a help browser. "untrusted sources" means it will download something not from the archives in apt13:17
zequenceWhy it does so, I don't know, but I'm sure there is a good reason for it13:17
zequenceUsually that only happens with non-free stuff13:17
zequenceBut, I would be surprised if that was the case here13:17
sakrecoeroh... well, pressed "ok" but the upgrade will not start due to that factor13:24
sakrecoerneed to change settings to do it...13:24
sakrecoerhaha! this is weird. runing apt-get update again removed it from the list :D13:25
sakrecoeri've been told this 7Gk times now, but yeah... which package are the workflow icons located in again? :p14:11
krytariksakrecoer: -menu as well.14:16
sakrecoerthanks krytarik !14:17
krytarikSure.14:18
sakrecoeri'm using them to update the color chart on this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/Artwork/OfficialXenial14:20
OvenWerk1krytarik: Thank you for cleaning that up. It looks right to me.14:28
krytarik\o/14:29
sakrecoeri think i wont do much more to it from here: me happy. but i'll push the blend file in the mockup folder of the branch. http://sakrecoer.com/ubuntustudio/ubuntustudio_3color_zequence_revisitedby_sakrecoer.png15:20
sakrecoernow the tile, it is fighting me: wants to look like luis vuitton :p15:22
krytariksakrecoer: Oh crap, I really like that!  And awesome name, too. :P16:43
zequencesakrecoer: Just to be clear, the only color that is absolutely determined is the blue17:32
zequenceThink we only have decided so far that video is purple (but not which purple exactly) and graphics orange17:33
zequencesakrecoer: Nice job on the wallpaper. I like it.17:36
zequenceVery hi tech.17:37
zequencebut with the warmth17:37
zequencesakrecoer: could you make one without the CoF as well?17:39
zequencesakrecoer: Making the CoF blue created a whole new situation though, in my view. And, also gives more artistic freedom.17:43
zequenceI would try making it more ghostly. Less defined.17:44
zequencesakrecoer: Also, I would like to see it without the folding.17:50
zequenceThe most minimal would be just the color changes, no folding, no CoF. That might look nice17:51
sakrecoerzequence: i'll try that!18:26
sakrecoerzequence: i used these values in the wallpaper: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/Artwork/OfficialXenial18:27
sakrecoeralso krytarik: \o/18:27
sakrecoerzequence: took the colors from the workflow icons18:27
sakrecoeri think they are great. however, the hue is written on a wiki, not in stone. So if you find some better ones, please go ahead.18:28
sakrecoerzequence: i'll try make the cof as a smoke ring :p18:37
sakrecoersmoke emitting a bit of light...18:37
sakrecoeri just really want to get this tile right first..18:37
sakrecoeroh well, http://sakrecoer.com/ubuntustudio/ubuntustudio_3color_zequence_revisitedby_sakrecoer-moghost_flat_whitecof.png19:08
sakrecoerzequence: like the filename says: more ghost, white cof and flat :)19:09
zequencesakrecoer: That was pretty awesome19:12
sakrecoerflat, the colorfades create a rather hypnotic artefact. i could make a 16-bit png tho... but the file would be considerably heavier19:12
sakrecoer\o/19:13
zequenceThis latest version to me is a clear candidate for default wallpaper19:13
sakrecoer(#^.^#)19:14
zequenceI should let madeinkobaia know about this one. At the very least we should add it to the collection19:15
sakrecoerweee!!! \o/ i'll spend some more time fighting with my tile tho, i think it is worth it for dualscreen scenarios as OvenWerk1 mentioned.19:15
zequencealright19:15
