[11:57] <andreasn> kwwii: ping
[13:29] <kwwii> andreasn: pong
[13:29] <andreasn> kwwii: hi, how is uds going?
[13:31] <kwwii> andreasn: pretty good, working on putting a dark theme in sometime either today or tomorrow
[13:31] <andreasn> cool
[13:31] <andreasn> as default?
[13:32] <andreasn> I was intending to ask you how throbbers (in konqueror etc.) worked in kde, but I think I figured out
[13:33] <andreasn> I was wondering if it would be neat to do throbbers in gnome and kde as apng's intead of just a bunch of frames. What do you think?
[13:33] <kwwii> yepp, as default for intrepid...shouldn't be too much trouble as we are far from anyone really seeing it
[13:33] <kwwii> hehe, it is a neat row of pics :-)
[13:33] <kwwii> apng's?
[13:34] <kwwii> andreasn: actually using one kind of throbber is a really good idea
[13:34] <kwwii> so a distro could theme it easily
[13:34] <andreasn> yeah, you know, animated png's, mozilla use that for firefox3
[13:34] <kwwii> I never liked the linked frames thing anyway
[13:34] <kwwii> ahhh, you mean mng's?
[13:34] <andreasn> no, not quite, mng's was kind of a different format
[13:35] <kwwii> oh wow, just googled that
[13:35] <kwwii> never saw that before :p
[13:35] <andreasn> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apng
[13:35] <andreasn> it's not mega-widespread I guess
[13:35] <kwwii> we use mng's in the bootsplash, they are pretty similar
[13:36] <kwwii> yeah, it is a simplified mng
[13:36] <kwwii> sounds like a no-brainer
[13:36] <kwwii> if the desktops have support for them, that is
[13:36] <andreasn> we could always make sure they get support for it if not
[13:36] <andreasn> my plan was for you to bug the qt people and me the gtk+ people :)
[13:37] <kwwii> it would certainly make it much easier to test
[13:37] <kwwii> yeah, I can poke some people and see what they think
[13:37] <andreasn> great, thanks!
[13:37] <kwwii> no problem, good idea! :-9
[13:37] <kwwii> I'll get back to you once I know something
[13:37] <andreasn> great, thanks!
