Saviqtsdgeos, re-ack https://code.launchpad.net/~lukas-kde/unity8/fix-window-title-vs-menu/+merge/319975 please?07:08
Saviqthere's two commits fixing the tests after your ACK07:09
* tsdgeos clicks07:09
Saviqmzanetti, https://code.launchpad.net/~lukas-kde/unity8/fix-windows-behind-unmaximize-transition/+merge/321440 is ready for re-review please07:09
mzanettikk08:03
awhHey folks. Will Unity 8 still use compiz? If not, will there be some similar alternative mechanism for making plugins for it?08:21
mzanettiSaviq: fwiw, this is done: https://code.launchpad.net/~mzanetti/unity8/appdrawer-recent-apps/+merge/31969708:31
mzanettiSaviq: just putting together a silo to get a green ci run08:32
mzanettiawh: no compiz any more and so far no plugin system for effects...08:32
Saviqmzanetti, ack, should we just plug into our current silo?08:32
mzanettiif you want, it's not reviewed yet, so a bit of risk involved there08:32
awhmzanetti: I'm currently making a compiz plugin that facilitates window nav with they keyboard for touch typists, so it's not effects based. Do you envision Unity8 will facilitate plugging in such functionality at some point in the future?08:35
mzanettiawh: unlikely08:35
Saviqmzanetti, ok, let's leave it out and have a follow-up silo08:38
mzanettikk08:38
awhmzanetti: Hmm, that's a shame. Would you accep third party contributions that added such functionality?08:40
mzanettiI would think yes, but this is not a trivial task...08:40
awhSurely it is not, I agree :)08:41
awhWhat about just contributing the navigation mechanism as a direct patch?08:41
awhIf that isn't going to fly, I would have to maintain a fork08:42
awhWhich is super-unappealing08:43
mzanettiI didn't really understand what exactly this keyboard navigation does... But in general we do accept 3rd party contributions if they don't break things, are well tested and don't interfere with the design vision of unity808:43
awhThat sounds promising, thanks. Are you familiar with the vimfx browser plugin by any chance?08:44
awhI'm making something that allows you to change window focus using the same method vimfx uses for navigating to links08:44
awhEssentially you press a hotkey, and every visible window is overlayed with a letter (preferring home-row keys - a, s, d etc); pressing that key focuses that window08:45
mzanettiah ok, yes, I've seen such a thing on KDE iirc08:47
awhThis is quite easily achieved with a compiz plugin that does not interfere with the existing unity7 plugin08:47
awhReally looking forward to trying Unity 8 - any thoughts on when it's going to be generally available using the nvidia driver?08:51
mzanettiI guess this could be achieved rather easily in unity8 by adding such a keyboard handler to the spread... i.e. one presses Super+W to go to spread and then just starts typing the letters and filters down the items in the spread with that08:52
mzanettican't say much about the nvidia driver support.. maybe try asking in #ubuntu-mir for that08:53
mzanettiI did have it running here on noveau, not perfectly but it did run08:53
* awh nods08:54
awhThanks!08:54
mzanettitsdgeos: hey, I just had my design weekly with vesa, talked about the drawer. He's ok with how I described it, but mind sending a screenshot so he can look at it?09:24
tsdgeossure09:28
tsdgeosmzanetti: http://i.imgur.com/qKcnFZr.png09:30
tsdgeosvesar: ↑↑09:30
mzanettita09:30
tsdgeosfwiw lukas wasn't very happy with the blue outline09:30
dandraderagree that blue outline doesn't look good09:33
vesarthanks! I think as well that the blue outline might be something that our visual team would have different opinion as well09:33
vesarcould we just drop it?09:34
vesarlately we've tried not overuse colors and this is one example when it's not really needed09:35
vesarotherwise I'm very pleased to see this implementation. Good improvement!!09:35
Saviqtsdgeos, mzanetti, can we just drop the outline, then ↑09:45
tsdgeosSaviq: no09:45
tsdgeoswithout the outline it looks awful09:45
tsdgeosbecause it's black on black09:46
mzanettiyeah... I would have thought no outline, just the whole background in a "highlight" color09:46
mzanettiwhether that's blue or orange, I don't properly understand the palette tbh09:46
Saviqthe blue is too bright09:46
Saviqto be a background09:46
Saviqtsdgeos, could you show a few options please? no outline, light grey or some such? also with keyboard navigation highlight?09:48
tsdgeosSaviq: vesar: http://i.imgur.com/NlBTR8k.jpg without outline09:48
tsdgeosSaviq: isn't keyboard navigation blue'09:49
tsdgeos?09:49
mzanettiyes09:49
mzanettithat's why I say blue...09:49
mzanettibecause it's the color for "highlighted/active"09:49
mzanettibut yes, I agree it's too much for the complete background09:50
Saviqtsdgeos, btw, it should be shown on keyboard highlight, too, I think? that would clash with the blue focus outline, so we shouldn't use that, but I'm thinking one of the light greys09:53
SaviqSilk or Ash from https://design.canonical.com/2016/05/colour-palette-updates/09:54
tsdgeossilk http://i.imgur.com/j8JgsHk.jpg09:55
tsdgeosi'm only showing the expanded text on hover, but i guess it makes sense to do what you said and show it on keyboard nav too09:56
tsdgeosso blue, nothing or ash?09:58
Saviqtsdgeos, silk looks too bright09:58
Saviqcan you try ash?09:58
Saviqand show how it would look along with keyboard highlight?09:59
tsdgeosash http://i.imgur.com/LuX41mQ.jpg10:01
tsdgeosash + keyboard http://i.imgur.com/BbIDY6w.png10:02
Saviqand we lost vesa ;P10:03
Saviqughies, that's too close :/10:03
tsdgeosa bit, yeah10:05
tsdgeosso either10:05
tsdgeoswe can say "it's a bit too close but whatever"10:05
tsdgeosor i don't expand the text on keyboard navigation10:06
tsdgeosonly on mouse hover like now and it's "less bad"10:06
tsdgeosbut still a bit useless10:06
Saviqyeah, when navigating with a keyboard you need the full name, too10:07
ltinklSaviq, tsdgeos: it would imo look much nicer with the 2 highlights being the same (blue  -> ash, and thinner)10:09
Saviqnot sure, it's weird to have two items outlined like this10:09
SaviqI think I'd actually go for the one without outline10:10
Saviqso http://i.imgur.com/NlBTR8k.jpg10:10
Saviqthe blue keyboard outline wouldn't clash with that10:10
tsdgeosboth blue https://i.imgur.com/Iq2yYeO.jpg10:11
Saviqno, that's bad - tsdgeos IMO let's go with no outline for the full label10:11
Saviqtsdgeos, also, make the full label limited in width (2x icon width?) and elided after 3 lines10:12
tsdgeosSaviq: so i throw away all the code10:12
tsdgeosok10:12
Saviqtsdgeos, sorry, I did say straight away that it shouldn't just be "as wide as the text is", must've gotten lost in translation10:13
Saviqif an app name doesn't fit in 3 lines of text, it's not our fault10:13
tsdgeosyes it is10:13
tsdgeosit is us that are choosing this very restricted way of showing the app name10:13
tsdgeosyou mean "if the app name doesn't fit in 3 lines we're fine with that"10:14
Saviqno, I'm saying the app name needs to be fixed10:14
tsdgeosbecause unity8 is always right! (TM)10:14
tsdgeosSaviq: anyway limiting the width is not going to work10:14
Saviqsomeone has to be10:15
tsdgeossee http://i.imgur.com/8qHm1V1.jpg10:15
tsdgeosyou want to see10:15
tsdgeosControladors Addic10:15
tsdgeosionals10:15
tsdgeos?10:15
tsdgeosnoone wants to see that10:15
Saviqtsdgeos, word wrap10:15
Saviqor well, the elastic one that tries on words and fall backs to forced rwap10:15
tsdgeosso10:16
tsdgeosControladors Addic10:16
tsdgeosionals10:16
tsdgeosthat is what you get with the elastic one10:16
Saviqwhy wouldn't it be10:16
SaviqControladors10:16
SaviqAddicionals10:16
Saviq ?10:16
ltinklqml is stupid in word wrapping sometimes10:16
tsdgeosi guess it may be that10:17
tsdgeosbut then suddenlty your 3 lines of text are very few space10:17
tsdgeosanyhow i shall stop arguing and do as instructed10:17
tsdgeoswhen is the deadline for this ?10:18
mzanettiI didn't follow the whole discussion, but we can't change the keyboard navigation ring to something else than the blue...10:19
Saviqtsdgeos, ltinkl, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/24312576/10:19
Saviqmzanetti, not planning to, no10:20
Saviqtsdgeos, ltinkl, resize that, IMO it behaves exactly like we want it to?10:21
ltinklSaviq, depends on the width of the qmlscene window; it does break correctly but if I shrink it some more, it breaks at random places in the middle of words10:22
Saviqltinkl, that is how Text.Wrap is defined10:22
Saviqand that is what we want10:22
ltinklSaviq, yeah I know, but it's wrong :) nobody wants to see "Controlad - ors - Addicional - s"10:23
Saviqltinkl, and we won't10:23
Saviqunless the word is crazy long10:23
ltinklSaviq, I want to see a German name there ;)10:23
Saviqif you have an idea how to make it "as wide as the longest word, no less than 2×icon.width", I'm fine with that10:24
ltinklSaviq, something that's 25+ letters in one word10:24
Saviqltinkl, I proposed the width to be 2×icon, was probably thinking more like 2×default label width10:24
Saviqthat would be more than 25+ letters10:24
ltinklSaviq, I suppose we don't want another elision in the extended label, do we?10:25
Saviqltinkl, I proposed 3 lines, if there's more text than that in an app name, I'm not really willing to accept that10:26
Saviqthat'd be probably 100 or so letters in an app name10:26
Saviqso yes, elide in that case10:27
Saviqbecause the alternative is worse10:27
tsdgeosSaviq: 2x the delegatewidth or the icon width?10:28
Saviqtsdgeos, deleaget10:29
tsdgeosSaviq: ok, so updated https://code.launchpad.net/~aacid/unity8/spacier_drawer/+merge/32172011:29
tsdgeosltinkl: you'll have to re-review11:29
ltinkltsdgeos, kk, I will11:29
Saviqtsdgeos, thanks, rebuilding the silo11:29
Saviqtsdgeos, does it wrap good in the end?11:30
tsdgeosyeah, i guess 20gu is wide enough11:31
Saviqack, glad11:32

boikohi guys, unity8 autopkgtests failed on xenial/i386 for a silo that contains changes for telephony-service, but it doesn't really look like a real failure:13:01
