zequencesakrecoer: Oh, lunatic -tac. I see10:05
zequenceWhat would ge a multimedia alternative to a file folder10:15
zequenceApart from digital hardware, like harddisks, and such10:15
zequenceI'm thinking about a possible Ubuntu Studio folder icon10:15
zequenceInstead of a folder, we could use something else, that could be just as generic10:16
zequenceLike a simplification of a small shelf of things, CDs or something10:16
zequenceor some sort of presentation of bits (in a nice artistic way), what files actually consist of10:28
zequencerepresentation*10:58
sakrecoera robobrain11:12
sakrecoeror a roboheart11:12
cfhowletta BEATING roboheart!11:12
cfhowlettba bump  ba bump ba bump ...11:13
sakrecoerfeels like a robobrain signals CPU11:13
sakrecoerhehe :)11:13
sakrecoerzequence: do you find nox in there, or do i seriously need to take a senility test?11:14
zequenceWe should add something to the favorites in the menu11:17
zequenceLike system settings11:17
sakrecoerthe settins are always visible in the menu11:32
sakrecoernext to the power/logoff button11:32
sakrecoermaybe jack... thinking of an equivalent in graphics, but all that comes to mind is font manager..11:34
zequenceAh, right. But, it wouldn't hurt to have it in favorites as well11:38
zequenceqjackctl makes sense, yes11:38
zequenceubuntustudio-controls maybe11:39
zequenceNOX is in there, yes11:41
zequenceProbably included with a multi theme package11:41
zequenceHOw do I change colors now?11:41
zequenceAh11:42
zequencesakrecoer: I really don't like murrina blue11:45
zequenceSo, I would go with something else there11:45
sakrecoerbut you changed the color of it right?11:46
zequenceOh, I need to relogin?11:46
sakrecoeranyways, it looks best with dark buttons that come with nox11:46
sakrecoerteah, some changes wont effect if you don't.. can't remember which ones..11:47
sakrecoeralso, to see the lightdm changes..11:47
zequenceThe murrina blue is very much blue11:49
zequenceThere's a problem in the indicator area with the colors11:49
zequenceThe custom hilight and custom menu colors are fine11:51
zequenceWe might need to do the same for the whisker menu11:51
zequenceCustom panel color doesn't work well11:56
zequenceIt's better to change it somewhere else. Like in "Panel"11:58
zequenceI prefer the default window manager theme12:00
zequence..when using NOX12:00
zequence..but NOX had some GTK issues12:01
zequenceSo, that is a big minus12:01
zequenceWait, NOX brings out GTK3 styling it seems, but without the colors12:02
zequenceI'm not really fond of the NOX grey either. Too bright.12:05
zequenceI do think we should keep the lightdm theming12:05
zequenceI mean, out of your suggestions12:05
zequenceThe lightdm theme has the wrong hilighting though. Not an enormous deal, but it looks weird with the red12:09
zequencesakrecoer: Our lightdm config is in /etc/xdg/xdg-ubuntustudio/lightdm/12:12
zequenceBelongs to the package ubuntustudio-lightdm-theme12:12
zequenceFor some reason the default background never shows before first login12:13
zequenceThink the config needs to be put in a different place12:22
zequenceIt should work the way it does now, but we can also install the greeter config into a different spot12:38
krytariksakrecoer: So, 'ubuntustudio-look' pulls 'murrine-themes', which includes those two themes.13:00
krytarikzequence: And maybe we should maintain the greeter settings along with the other default settings - because apparently you have a 'lightdm.conf' in there too.13:09
zequenceReally? Well, it's also artwork related, so13:19
zequenceRight13:20
zequenceThe config in -default-settings is just to set the correct greeter and session13:20
zequenceNothing to do with artwor13:20
zequenceartwork*13:20
zequenceSo, that makes sense13:20
zequenceAll though, that kind of correlates to the theme as well13:22
sakrecoernot sure i got things right, but krytarik linked me to this yesterday: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/xubuntu-default-settings/trunk/view/head:/usr/share/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.d/30_xubuntu.conf and it seems to set the wallpaper for lightdm...14:22
sakrecoerzequence: 14:23
zequenceEveryone is doing it differently, it seems14:26
sakrecoer:)14:26
zequenceubuntu mate has yet another method14:26
OvenWerksI would caution against populating "favourites" with single use applications such as -controls or settings.14:55
OvenWerksThat is in fact one of my biggest beafs with the indicator over the systray. Indicators dedicate one whole mouse click to a single use purpose (settings) thus removing functionality that was previously available in systray icons.14:57
sakrecoerzequence: have you noticed the icon for battery charge with greybird?15:07
sakrecoerit is different when charging...15:09
sakrecoercolors and kindof pseudo 3d..15:09
sakrecoerweird... i created a new user, and there the icon is fine. but if i change the appearance theme, log out, log back in, then change back to greybird, the icon is changed, even with ubuntustudio iconset selected in appearance15:12
sakrecoerhttp://sakrecoer.com/ubuntustudio/Screenshot_2016-04-06_17-12-51.png15:13
OvenWerksThat looks nice. I hadn't noticed that as I don't use batteries/laptops. I will have to remember to hook up a wiimote when I test.15:15
sakrecoeri found why: i had enlarged the panel to 28 pixels15:17
sakrecoerputting it back to 25 gave me the classic bi-chromatic icon15:17
sakrecoerzequence: but would you agree that the menus pulling down from the indicator and right click on the panel should be the same color than the panel?15:19
OvenWerkssakrecoer: right now they are the same as window decorations.15:21
OvenWerkssame as menus everywhere15:23
zequencesakrecoer: The menu color is nice, but it's such a small change that I wonder if that is worth the trouble at this point15:25
zequenceShould we change to the dark theme in lightdm, even though hilighting is red there?15:25
OvenWerkssakrecoer: remember that some applications set their own menu colours, but are generally based on a light grey.15:26
zequencesakrecoer: Do you know where the menu is configured - in which file?15:26
OvenWerkszequence: he said "menus" so not whisker, but all the drop down menus from indicators, etc.15:27
zequenceOvenWerks: Yep, I know15:27
OvenWerkszequence: I would expect that to be the same as application menus15:28
OvenWerks(except where the application itself goes somewhere else)15:28
zequenceOvenWerks: Well. Do know which file that is?15:30
sakrecoeryou gave me the path yesterday zequence , i'm looking for it now, but i'm slow15:31
* OvenWerks wishes for a tool that would allow querying the colour under the mouse15:32
zequenceOvenWerks: There is a color picker tool for that15:32
zequenceThe same as in GIMP, but a standalone15:32
zequencegtk2, I think15:32
sakrecoerOvenWerks: agave is almost always open on my box for that reason15:32
OvenWerkszequence: I tought menu colour was part of the theme.15:32
zequenceOvenWerks: gcolor215:33
zequenceOvenWerks: If you read sakrecoer's suggestion for theme changes, you will have seen where in the GUI he makes those changes15:33
zequenceAnd, those end up in config files15:33
zequenceI'm looking for them in ~/.config/xfce4 15:33
OvenWerkssakrecoer: I tried agave, but it didn't seem to allow testing colours in other windows... I may be missing something.15:34
zequencesakrecoer: I found it. It's in .config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css15:36
sakrecoerwhats the magic command to search within files? grep? with it, one could serach for the color HEX...15:36
sakrecoerah nice!15:36
zequencefgrep15:36
sakrecoerbut that is only for gtk315:36
zequenceWell, yes15:37
sakrecoerthere is one for gtk2 as well..15:37
zequencesure?15:37
OvenWerksand qt4 and qt5 and kde ?15:37
sakrecoeri was looking for the default files in /etc/xdg/*15:37
zequenceI think we should leave this, and put it aside until someone starts working on a ubuntustudio gtk theme15:38
sakrecoerzequence: i sure have .config/gtk-2.0/15:38
zequenceThat would be for some other reason15:38
zequence..since I don't have it15:39
zequenceBut, I can see that the css file has the correct colors, so I'm assuming that is where it is done15:39
zequencesakrecoer: Make sure to read files like that with something that has color coding15:39
sakrecoerit got there after i tried different themes in appearances15:40
zequence(in case you aren't)15:40
zequenceOk, well, it wasn't due to the menu change15:40
sakrecoerwhat do you mean zequence "something that has color coding"15:40
zequencesakrecoer: Not the right term. Something that shows code in color, so that you can easily see what is waht15:41
zequencecss files have color schemes for a lot of text editors suitable for coding15:41
zequenceSuch as nano, for instance15:41
sakrecoerah! nano has color coding now? :D15:42
zequenceNot something recent15:42
sakrecoerhehe, well html color coding was real poor last time i checked :D15:43
zequenceThink color scheme is a better expression15:43
zequenceIt's not perfect, compared to more serious editors15:43
zequencegedit has fairly good support15:43
zequenceI use atom myself, when I code15:43
zequenceBut, it's kind of heavy15:44
sakrecoeri like nano actualy. vim is nice too, but it just made me pull my hair of when i tried to edit .bashrc15:44
sakrecoeri'm prolly doing it wrong, but insert and 'I' wouldn't work like i'm used to15:45
sakrecoerjust=20 minutes ago15:47
zequenceI never learned vim. I'm sure it's a great editor, once you understand how it works.15:49
zequenceIf it set tab size (in spaces) for several lines of code at once, I would be sold.15:50
zequenceif it can set tab size for several lines of code at once, is what I meant15:50
zequenceNot all editors can do that, and it's so nice when you can. Also to be able to comment large sections of codes by selecting it and using a shortcut15:51
sakrecoeri think you can add som script for that. I'm not sure, but i think i remember something like that in the script for checking manual-tests..15:56
sakrecoerbecause they want 4space tabs in the manual tests..15:56
zequenceYes, that should not be a problem16:04
zequencenano can do that too16:04
zequenceI mean, adding spaces instead of tabs16:04
zequenceBut, can you change tab size for multiple lines at once?16:05
sakrecoeri don't know :) i thought i knew how to enter a line and navigate in vi, but it seems i don't anymore... (to give you a scale of my level in vim:D)16:06
zequenceAlso, cut and paste code, keeping the tab size within the code you cut, and paste it to any tab depth16:06
sakrecoerpressing the arrows noe give me letters, cut and paste is waaay out my scope at this level :D16:08
sakrecoers/noe/now16:08
zequenceI'm going to fix some package building recipes, so that any changes to our source will autobuilt into our testing PPA16:10
zequenceThe ubuntustudio-dev team has one16:10
zequenceThat way, it's easy to just add the PPA and do testing before stuff is uploaded16:10
zequencesakrecoer: I'm adding our wallpaper as default now. Haven't heard from madeinkobaia, so thinking we just go ahead now, as planned16:16
zequencesakrecoer: Can you think of a good name for it?16:19
zequenceOtherwise, I'll just call it 1604_default.png16:19
sakrecoeri was about to ask you about madeinkobaia... call it 1604-colorghost.png :p16:21
zequenceAlright16:21
sakrecoer\o/16:21
zequenceI sent a couple of emails to madeinkobaia already a week ago, or more, so he has had the chance to answer16:22
zequenceWe should change the CoF for the plymoth theme16:25
sakrecoermaybe the ghost cof would do good in there too?16:27
zequenceAh, damn. I've forgotten to implement the new CoF.16:27
sakrecoerimplement it where?16:27
zequenceInto everywhere16:28
zequenceMaybe we can save that for the next release16:28
sakrecoerah you mean the one that knome drew?16:28
zequenceYes16:28
zequenceI still would like to see how they look after some small adjustment16:28
zequenceAs I've mentioned before, they looked a little fat to me.16:29
sakrecoeryeah, right, but the one we have now looks crooked... i don't know what is best, anyways, i think i've said everything i have to say many times now :D16:30
zequenceAdding the ghost CoF is a little tricky. I need to rewrite the plymoth script16:35
zequence..to adjust it's position and size16:35
sakrecoeri wouldn't know how to, so do as you wish/can... (althought i've been anoyed about the circle being just slliiiightly off for very long, and it still is)16:37
zequencesakrecoer: If you like, you could fix knomes CoF, making it similar in thickness, make a new wallpaper and a ghost CoF16:38
sakrecoerok, i'll try!16:39
zequencemeanwhile, I will see if I can use the current GhostCof in plymoth16:43
sakrecoerzequence: i'm sorry, but i really don't see that fatness nor what is to be fixed... i'm juxtaposing the crooked one and the knome one, and all i see is "\o/ work is done thank you mr. knome"17:18
zequenceOk, let me do that then17:20
zequencesakrecoer: I can't find knomes branch anymore. Where is it? Or you have the files?17:24
sakrecoerhttps://code.launchpad.net/~knome/ubuntustudio-artwork/current-standard-fixes17:24
zequenceOk, yeah found it on his page17:24
zequenceAh, right. I was looking at the wrong branch before17:25
sakrecoerdon't know how its done but it is also visible here: https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntustudio-artwork17:25
zequencesakrecoer: If you compare the two CoFs, you'll find some very clear differences17:28
zequenceLike the size of the hole in themiddle17:28
zequenceFor me it was a clear change, so not only an improvement17:28
zequenceNot only a fix, so to say17:28
zequenceSince the original was not perfectly shaped, making the new version similar has to be done with some compromize17:29
sakrecoerthat is actualy true, however, it is impossible to see that at small size, AND knome's version works well in small size.17:29
zequenceAfter looking carefully now, I do find that knomes version might be better after all17:31
zequenceMy initial reaction was just - it's not only a fix. It's also a change17:32
zequenceSo, I wasn't eager to just pass it through. But, it feels right now17:32
zequenceSo, I'll just merge that17:32
knome:)17:32
sakrecoer\o/17:32
knomethere are several reasons why it is as it is, most of them related to the old version not being symmetric and not in the middle of the circle17:33
sakrecoerit's perfect! i acutaly think the hole is better balanced in knomes version17:33
knomeindeed - the middle of the hole is at the middle of the circle17:33
flocculantno ellipses then17:34
knomeno17:34
knomeor chicken nuggets17:34
zequencesakrecoer: Please use that CoF to update the wallpaper then17:34
sakrecoeri will!17:35
sakrecoerand it's pickles, knome and flocculant 17:35
sakrecoerin that order :D17:35
knomea booger it is17:35
sakrecoerzequence: did you forget to pull my changes to the branch maybe?17:39
sakrecoeri'm probably just confused about how bzr works again17:40
sakrecoeri see the number of your commit being "4"..17:40
sakrecoeryup, nevermind me...17:40
sakrecoerok i get it now.. current-standard is another branch...17:42
zequencesakrecoer: Yeah, if we were using git, we might have that as a submodule to the main branch, so that it's always there, and updated17:44
sakrecoerok... then we should remove everything named "current standard" from the trunk, no?"17:45
sakrecoeror at least, move it over...17:45
zequencethere's no current standard dir in the 1604 development branch, and neither should there e17:46
zequencebe*17:46
zequencethe trunk is only for this release. Once we are done, we'll rename it, and create a new trunk17:47
sakrecoerno, but there is folder called 16.04, in which there is a copy fo the crooked cof and a text file with "current standard" in the name17:47
zequenceYes, those should be changed17:47
zequenceThat's a bit messy. The current standard file should be removed17:48
sakrecoeri propose to add the color codes of the workflows in the txt file and move it to current-standrard branch17:48
zequenceSure17:48
sakrecoerand delete those the crooked cof and woddmark from there...17:48
sakrecoermake sure noone uses them again17:48
knomesakrecoer, you'd think so...17:49
sakrecoerare saying they will reappear sooner or later, knome? :D17:50
knomeyeah, we're seeing the xubuntu logo from pre-12.04 used around the web17:50
knomeeven if it's *completely* different17:51
zequenceWe'll need to create a new license. UUFBC - Use Until Forbidden By Creator17:51
sakrecoerhahaha!!!!17:51
sakrecoeroh my, i think you  just created a monster zequence!!17:51
sakrecoerUUFBC :D17:51
knomezequence, as if people respected licenses..17:52
zequenceWhen FBI warnings don't even help, I guess not17:53
zequencesakrecoer: (re finding something from inside a file, -r is recursive): fgrep -r <pattern> <path>17:56
sakrecoerthanks!!! :)18:05
zequencesakrecoer: Could you also make one CoF twice the size as last time, with the ghost effect.18:10
zequenceresolution x2, that is. width x2, height x218:11
sakrecoersure!18:11
sakrecoermy spelling is so terrible, i should be banned from writing commit notes :|18:12
zequenceubuntustudio-look is probably one of the reasons why our ISO has grown a bit lately18:22
zequenceIt's over 100Mb18:22
zequencesakrecoer: Oh, and if we want to use the ghost CoF with the text logo, it would be helpful if the larger spread of light was removed, or very much focused on a small area18:26
zequenceRight now, the png image is many multiples larger than the CoF itself, which is ok on the wallpaper.18:28
zequenceI'm going to try the one with the larger spread on the plymouth theme to see how that looks18:34
sakrecoerthe blender in the dev build is very weird...18:37
sakrecoerit gives 2 different results in the viwer and the composite output, altho connected to the same node18:38
sakrecoeryeah something isn't quite right, but then again, in blender so many things can be missconfigured by user. put that in the context of my hands and then lay back and relax18:44
sakrecoeranyways upgrading blender is the easiest thing in the world, even tho, upgrading a blender that integrate jack remains a mystery to me18:45
zequenceI was able to make plymouth show a blue background. Not my intention, but at least I changed something!18:47
zequenceOnly that. Only a blue background18:47
sakrecoer:D18:47
sakrecoer#009bf9?18:48
zequenceNot sure where it came from18:48
sakrecoerfrom beta1 maybe? :D18:48
zequenceI changed the script, but for some reason it didn't work18:48
sakrecoeroh, my blender issue is a lack of ram in compositor.. got a bit greedy when scaling up :D18:55
sakrecoerit'll have to wait until i get home. scaling the logo instead of the resolution changes the effect...19:04
zequenceThe plymouth theme will be pretty sweet with the new logos20:07
zequenceBut, this is taking a lot of time :P20:07
zequenceSuspend froze my laptop. Our plymouth theme has artwork for suspend, but I've never actually seen it in action20:53
zequenceIt suspended, but did so terminally20:53
zequencesakrecoer: Would be great if you could smoke test the latest plymouth theme. It doesn't include the right CoF, but I can change that later. For now, I just want to know the dimensions are right21:00
zequenceThe package is building right now21:00
zequenceWill be available at this PPA ppa:ubuntustudio-dev/autobuild21:00
zequenceAh, maybe not. Something's not right21:02
zequenceWell, just pull the source for ubuntustudio-look, and build it locally with 'dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us'21:03
zequence(check help for dpkg-buildpackage to see what those options mean - they allow you to build without signing)21:04
zequenceI just realized we have a project for plymouth-theme-ubuntustudio, and a branch for it, but it is already included in ubuntustudio-look - very nice21:09
zequenceActually, it's not up yet, but will be in a few moments21:22
knomezequence, ubuntustudio.org should now have the latest theme revision up21:23
zequenceknome: Thanks.21:23
zequencesakrecoer: Ok, ubuntustudio-look is updated with a new plymouth theme, so please try it21:29
zequencesakrecoer: I also added a new text logo (based on an extablished madeinkobaia variant, that we have on a t-shirt) to current-standard21:36
zequenceThe only difference is in that "Studio" is blue21:36
zequenceThe plymouth theme needed some color. That could have been done with the background too, of course. I did add a hint of blue to it, just to make it less monochrome21:38
zequenceBut, even so, it was too black and white.21:38
zequenceOk, sleep time. Over and out for now.21:40
