sakrecoerbrainstorm request: what happens with motion in the second part here? http://sakrecoer.com/ubuntustudio/graphics0001-0120.avi08:36
sakrecoerlikr.. different spin?,  bouncing icon? :D08:37
sakrecoerlikr.. different spin?,  bouncing icon? :D ↑08:40
sakrecoerargh... tried to make a ping to geirdal and automna with a utf8 arrow upward :D08:41
sakrecoerwb back cub! :)09:04
=== geirdal is now known as Guest45743
cubhi sakrecoer 09:34
sakrecoercub: can i borrow some of your brain power? :) what happens to the second part in here? sakrecoer.com/ubuntustudio/graphics0001-0120.avi how should the workflow logo and text be animated?09:39
sakrecoernow clickable: http://sakrecoer.com/ubuntustudio/graphics0001-0120.avi09:39
cubsakrecoer: not sure what you mean? I think it looks very good as it is11:23
sakrecoercub: i'm not sure either :D i feel like there could be something sexier going on... just not sure what.. i've made it slower tho, 8 seconds instead of 411:25
sakrecoergreidal (aka Guest45743 ) OvenWerks autumna, what do you think about this theme? http://killhellokitty.deviantart.com/art/DeLorean-Dark-1-55-318612217 maybe too dark? it works with everything as far as i can see...11:26
cubyeah it was quite fast the one I saw11:27
sakrecoerso you don't need to install the theme: http://sakrecoer.com/ubuntustudio/Screenshot_2016-06-07_13-39-35.png the sliders aren't the best i think... but i like it overall..11:42
sakrecoerqt looks nice too... but.. maybe that is normal :D11:43
sakrecoeroh... but kdenlive looks really bad in it...11:44
sakrecoerno, actauly, when kdenlive is set to its dark theme it works very well...11:45
sakrecoerbut its sometimes too hard to find the border of a window, i think that breaks it for us... check this out, kdenlive on the left and 2 gnome apps on the right, try to figure out where gnome software ends and where fontmanager starts... http://sakrecoer.com/ubuntustudio/Screenshot_2016-06-07_13-48-12.png11:51
sakrecoeryeah... gnome windows have now shadow beneath...12:03
sakrecoer*no shadow12:03
sakrecoerfixed in a later version apparently.. i like this, but it's risky... http://killhellokitty.deviantart.com/art/DeLoreanDark3-10-8-05232014-40865206312:09
sakrecoerthis killhellokitty person is good at dark themes.. http://killhellokitty.deviantart.com/gallery/12:11
autumnasakrecoer: I like the image12:39
autumnaI would need to try it out through12:40
autumnaquestion when we package things, can we create defaults for the software? e.g. have the kdenlive be using the dark theme when ubuntustudio is installed?12:41
autumnasakrecoer: re the titlecard  I don't think you need any more motion, I would slow down a bit the ubuntu studio and the title scenes in all your title cards through, just to give a moment for the watcher to read12:47
sakrecoercool! i'll upload it slowed-down. i also added a sample from the ubuntu-sound pack.12:52
sakrecoerautumna: i wish to know that too, that would be awsome! (kdenlive defaults)12:52
sakrecoeri settled for this one: http://thearakattack.deviantart.com/art/Unite-the-3rd-Release-53966942012:52
sakrecoerbut i use "daloa" for the window style. it's blue very close to ubuntstudio blue. makes it easier to know what window is in focus12:53
sakrecoeri think i'm going to reach out to the author12:53
autumnasakrecoer: personally I like the square style12:58
sakrecoerautumna: you mean the window style?12:59
sakrecoerif yes: its nice, but so big!12:59
autumnawindow style of the theme yes12:59
autumnaheh12:59
sakrecoerautumna: also, its one of those where it almost impossible to grab the edge13:00
autumnaugh13:01
sakrecoeralmost all window style i find are like that... but daloa works fine13:01
autumnaI have my custom window style for xfce13:01
autumnawhich I adjusted to be easier to grab, but then again it isn't exactly for public consumption13:01
autumna(too decorated)13:02
autumnaI am not sure how to theme the gtk through13:02
sakrecoerautumna: nice! something you have done yourself?13:02
autumnayeah, I just used one of the default window themes as template, and worked up from it13:02
sakrecoercare for a screenshot share? :)13:03
autumnadoing so. one sec13:03
autumna(this would go easier if I hadn't misplaced my ftp password *sighs* one sec)13:08
sakrecoerhehe :)13:08
sakrecoerso the resolution is still crap, and the sampling of the ray tracer is low, hence very dirty... but it gives the idea.. http://sakrecoer.com/ubuntustudio/graphics0001-0240.avi13:12
sakrecoer(just a sketch render basicaly)13:12
autumnahttp://autumnus.net/temp/windowstyle.png13:14
autumnathat looks good, if I wanted to nitpick, the ubuntustudio bit can go a tiny tiny bit faster13:15
autumnawhoops forgot to tag sakrecoer13:15
autumna;D13:15
sakrecoerinteresting style autumna ... it's like mix between old and nu-school13:20
sakrecoeri kindof like it...13:20
autumnaif I wanted to make this for other people I would probably make the inner bit pure black so that it fit with a variety of color setups13:21
sakrecoeror transaparent :p13:21
sakrecoer(if by "inner bit" you mean the green and the brown line)13:21
autumnait works for me, but probably not for everyone ;D (and as I said, no gtk (I think) window styling, because I need to sit down and figure out how13:21
autumnanot transparent. if you make it transparent then you run into the "cannot grab the edge" problem. 13:22
autumnayes that is what I mean13:22
sakrecoertransparency becomes a hole?13:23
autumna(it also doesn't have a distinction between active and inactive windows which I don't mind, but then again, can bother people)13:23
autumnayes13:23
sakrecoerthe color has no alpha-channel?13:23
sakrecoer:'(13:23
autumnayeah, same reason as far as I could tell, you cannot do partial transparency13:23
sakrecoerhmm... i'm pretty sure gtk3 has partial transparency, but it seems to be a jungle... like, to create theme that makes a desktop uniform, you pretty much have to lern 345196k different themes layout syntax :D13:25
autumnayeah13:25
autumnait is one of those "I have been meaning to finish this one day" projects (You can tell by now that I have many of them)13:25
autumnaI might however actually finish this one, because gtk default window style really looks strange when put together with this13:26
sakrecoer(^^,)13:26
autumna:)13:30
sakrecoerwhat i struggle to find is a monochrome icon theme that i like...13:31
sakrecoerthat ghost.icon thing is nice, but so many are missing, and its a bit... fat...13:32
autumna*nods*13:33
sakrecoerhttp://www.noobslab.com/2013/07/nouvegnome-color-and-gray-icon-sets-for.html but again... so many missing, the point is lost :D13:39
sakrecoeralso kindof... fat 13:39
autumnaI try to not do too much customization of that sort. 13:43
sakrecoerinteresting: http://pobtott.deviantart.com/art/Any-Color-You-Like-17562491013:43
autumnathere will always be a program that is missing its icon13:43
sakrecoerthis program applies filters to any icon-set13:44
autumnanice13:44
sakrecoerlast commen was 4h ago and well... it says a lot :D13:44
sakrecoerno source... wtf... :D13:44
sakrecoeroh.. but... doesnt' look like it has binaries...13:46
sakrecoerwell.. it says "gnome-panel: no process found" but it works...13:53
OvenWerkssakrecoer: Re: theme... which window is in focus?13:59
sakrecoerOvenWerks: sorry, i moved forward to this one http://thearakattack.deviantart.com/art/Unite-the-3rd-Release-53966942014:01
sakrecoerbut i use daloa so the focused window becomes visible14:01
sakrecoerjust a sec, i'll show you..14:02
sakrecoerOvenWerks: http://sakrecoer.com/ubuntustudio/Screenshot_2016-06-07_16-06-09.png14:07
sakrecoernow... never mind them orange icons :D14:07
OvenWerkssakrecoer: looks ok, how easy is it to grab a side or a corner for resize?14:10
sakrecoerwith daloa: super easy14:10
sakrecoermuch easier then our current default actualy14:10
OvenWerksThen I am fine with it.14:11
OvenWerksFor me the two usability things are easy to tell focus and window handle access.14:11
sakrecoer\(^^,)/ and i agree! anyways, we still have little time to fiddle arround and try stuff. i will try reach out to the author of that theme... see what can happen :)14:12
OvenWerksHow do the dialog windows in Ardour look? (and the meter bridge?)14:13
sakrecoerthey look good...14:14
sakrecoeras far as i have tried...14:14
* OvenWerks is trying to remember any ardour complaints that were solved by changing theme.14:14
sakrecoerimport, plugins, atc...14:14
sakrecoer*etc...14:14
OvenWerksThose ones if one works they all will. Meter bridge is important as many people want to be able to see that from some distance.14:15
OvenWerksArdour 5.* will have themes again.14:15
sakrecoerOvenWerks: meterbridge...?14:16
sakrecoeryou mean... the mixers... ehm... VU bars? :D14:16
OvenWerkswindow->meterbridge14:16
sakrecoeryeah, looks good14:16
OvenWerksit uses a different set of colours than the mixer strips.14:16
sakrecoerOvenWerks: http://sakrecoer.com/ubuntustudio/Screenshot_2016-06-07_16-17-14.png14:17
OvenWerks:) :) that is the tiniest meter bridge I have ever seen...14:18
OvenWerks(but it does work fine)14:19
sakrecoer:) i haven't enabled my monster card, nor my MB 8 outputs :D14:19
sakrecoermost of all,, its an empty project :D14:19
sakrecoer(i've never seen it before, this meterbridge :D)14:20
sakrecoerwill sure take advantage of it in the future <314:20
OvenWerkssakrecoer: I rarely use more than two Audio inputs. But even for something with no drums or keyboard I use 9 to 15 tracks.14:20
sakrecoerya.. i saw later that it displays the tracks :)14:20
OvenWerksmy standard test session is three audio tracks, 3 midi tracks, one audio bus, one midi bus and one VCA. these days.14:21
OvenWerksThe other application to try is qtracktor.14:22
sakrecoerhm... plugin window is empty...14:24
sakrecoer... in qtractor14:24
sakrecoeranyways, here is how it looks: http://sakrecoer.com/ubuntustudio/Screenshot_2016-06-07_16-24-00.png14:24
OvenWerkstry it with View->Options->Display->Color Theme Wonton Soup and Motif14:25
OvenWerksIf that is without any internal changes that is fine.14:26
sakrecoerdoesn' look as good (more win95)14:27
sakrecoerbut it seems to work14:27
sakrecoerhere is the mixer (with defult theme)  http://sakrecoer.com/ubuntustudio/Screenshot_2016-06-07_16-25-10.png14:27
OvenWerksIf the default picks up the system that is fine.14:27
sakrecoerOvenWerks: here with wonton...14:30
sakrecoerhttp://sakrecoer.com/ubuntustudio/Screenshot_2016-06-07_16-28-37.png14:30
sakrecoeroh... but that is not what you asked for... wait a sec14:30
sakrecoerthat is not wonton.. its motif.. the theme. not the colors...14:30
* OvenWerks likes motif window handles :)14:32
OvenWerks(if nothing else)14:32
sakrecoerOvenWerks: this time with wonton colors: http://sakrecoer.com/ubuntustudio/Screenshot_2016-06-07_16-32-11.png14:33
sakrecoer(default theme tho :D)14:33
OvenWerkseither way... the more I see the more I think I am not so picky as other people about colours.14:34
sakrecoeris qtractor non-destructive?14:35
OvenWerksI don't really know. It is not my favourite tool, so I don't use it much. I am more of a tape recorder person.14:36
sakrecoerhm... with wonton colors, the text in the labels when hovering over a button disapears... in default colors its is fine tho...14:38
OvenWerkssakrecoer: no one will go changing colours if the default looks right.14:40
sakrecoer:)14:45
Guest45743hi :) why am I Guest4319:51
geirdalHi again19:56
OvenWerksgeirdal: I think your irc client needs to know how to log in...20:00
geirdal?20:00
geirdalIlogged out and back in20:01
OvenWerksseems to have worked.20:01
geirdalknow  Im geirdal again20:01
geirdal:)20:01
geirdalSacrecoer: I like the theme this is something that I was takling about. Ilike ghost icons because theyare flat and simple ofcourse it can be better.20:04
geirdalit does not even need to be that dark, just darker than what is by default!20:08
geirdalI will do some mockups of icons20:09
geirdalAnd yes I will draw all of them by hand If there is no better way!20:18
geirdalDont like NOX theme makes me sleepy, looks like it is in fog and has light (main areas?)20:47
geirdalWhat is the most complete icon them for ubuntustudio? Do you know?20:55
geirdaltheme21:23
OvenWerksgeirdal: there really isn't one.22:03
OvenWerksgeirdal: the icons for the menu are in -menu22:03
OvenWerksgeirdal: the rest (maybe three) are in -icon-theme22:05
geirdalInkscape do not have dark theme, but a global theme makes it dark!ok. But the icons look like something from my little pony, it almost got all the colors that is available it looks like a toy! It is not possible to take it serious.I take Inkscapes icons and open them with Inkscape, put them to grayscale and save them. Only this is so much better.22:07
OvenWerksgeirdal: the icon theme has the distro icon and a couple of application icons that are missing (hexter and hdspmixer maybe?)22:08
OvenWerksgeirdal: the menu icons are in the menu package because the icones have to be there even if the user chooses another icon theme.22:09
geirdalok thanks22:09
OvenWerksgeirdal: the menu icons can be replaced inside the menu package... or if different (light and dark) Studio icon themes are envisioned, they can be put in the theme package and they will override the ones in the menu package22:11
geirdalok22:14
geirdalCan you post the directions? Iam looking here /usr/share/menu no luck :/22:24
geirdalbut I finde icons there22:26
OvenWerks:)22:28
OvenWerksyou want to find the icons in an istalled system? or in the package?22:28
geirdalI have installed system? yes22:29
OvenWerksI guess same place anyway. /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/categories22:31
geirdalinstalled system22:31
OvenWerkshttp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev/ubuntustudio-menu/trunk/files/head:/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/categories/22:31
OvenWerksHmm, also: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev/ubuntustudio-menu/trunk/files/head:/usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/categories/22:31
OvenWerksThe thing to remember is that all icons themes are supposed to inherit the hicolor theme at some point... it may be a theme inherits hicolor which is then inherited by another. etc.22:33
geirdalok this is some point to start with :) thanks22:33
OvenWerksSo, most applications install their icons to hicolour.22:34
OvenWerksThen the theme can inherit and override.22:34
OvenWerksAny icons that you don't redo just show from hicolor.22:34
OvenWerksAs a last resort... pixmaps is checked. (some applications still put stuff in there :P  )22:36
geirdalok hehe this is alot but I will start frome here :)22:38
OvenWerksgeirdal: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/0.6/22:43
OvenWerksthere is a Directory Layout.22:43
geirdalIam reading this https://specifications.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html22:43
OvenWerksThat should be the same22:44
OvenWerksOh maybe not. yes that is the better one.22:44
geirdal:)22:45
OvenWerksIt is funny there is both a .11 and a .12, both say .11 inside22:47
OvenWerksHowever .12, even though it says it is .11, does have .12 in the change log.22:48
geirdalI have to start somewhere! Right?23:16
geirdalAlso category Graphic design should be visual Production! makes more sence, graphic artist are not all graphic designers!23:38
