| [09:02] <pwnguin> lol https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Intrepid/Dream_Wallpaper?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=wallbio8.jpg | |
| [09:05] * DanaG gags | |
| [09:05] <pwnguin> reminds me of the XP desktop | |
| [09:05] <pwnguin> i wonder if that was stock art | |
| [09:06] <DanaG> The only grassy-hill wallpaper I've ever used is "Dark Bliss" from here. | |
| [09:06] <DanaG> http://www.zeroingin.net/skins/ | |
| [09:06] <DanaG> When in Windows, of course. | |
| [09:07] <pwnguin> so ive been talking with one of the guys who did some work on the default hardy wallpaper | |
| [09:08] <pwnguin> i havent followed -artwork for long -- do we know he feels a bit snubbed? | |
| [09:12] <thorwil> pwnguin: do you mean the original author? | |
| [09:12] <pwnguin> well, troy | |
| [09:12] <pwnguin> i donno about ash | |
| [09:12] <thorwil> oh, him ^^ | |
| [09:13] <pwnguin> ash seemed happy enough to make another one for intrepid | |
| [09:13] <thorwil> pwnguin: i was under the impression he just had enough of the list | |
| [09:13] <pwnguin> who? | |
| [09:13] <thorwil> and apparently also this channel | |
| [09:13] <thorwil> troy | |
| [09:13] <pwnguin> you know about when that happend? | |
| [09:14] <thorwil> can't put a date on it | |
| [09:14] <pwnguin> im kinda curious what happened and whether he's merely insufferable or justified in it | |
| [09:15] <thorwil> pwnguin: he makes some valid points, but there's not much point in reiterating them to the same limited audience again and again | |
| [09:15] <pwnguin> heh | |
| [09:17] <pwnguin> he seems more willing to blame what happened on shuttleworth and canonical than say a lack of direction or dissent from the original author | |
| [09:18] <thorwil> not sure about that | |
| [09:19] <pwnguin> what i mean is, the original forms to the heron had a few "humans" lying about | |
| [09:19] <thorwil> pwnguin: actually, he lists that wallpaper as the one thing gotten right on his blog | |
| [09:19] <pwnguin> does he? | |
| [09:19] <pwnguin> i thought he hated how it went | |
| [09:19] <thorwil> wasn't happy with the repetition, yes | |
| [09:20] <pwnguin> repitition? | |
| [09:20] <pwnguin> bluh | |
| [09:20] <thorwil> the heron in the background again | |
| [09:20] <pwnguin> oh, well thats sasuage | |
| [09:21] <pwnguin> anyways, i know its a bit dangerous to rely on one persons history of the events | |
| [09:21] <thorwil> pwnguin: http://troy-sobotka.blogspot.com/2008/07/dear-mr-shuttleworth.html | |
| [09:21] <thorwil> look at "I'd answer that question with a single resounding "YES". It was one decision. It was all about a bird." ... | |
| [09:22] <thorwil> pwnguin: i think that story is a good example of some problems you get when different people edit some artwork | |
| [09:23] * DanaG accidentally detaches Mark Shuttleworth's head. | |
| [09:23] <DanaG> Oops. You forgot to group it. | |
| [09:23] <DanaG> =þ | |
| [09:24] <pwnguin> ive seen the open letter to shuttleworth | |
| [09:24] <pwnguin> it's kinda abrasive | |
| [09:24] <thorwil> good thing voodoo doesn't work (like that) | |
| [09:24] <pwnguin> which i guess is how some artists work | |
| [09:25] <thorwil> well, if being all subtle ore even just diplomatic doesn't work ... | |
| [09:26] <pwnguin> you can scream all you want in space | |
| [09:26] <pwnguin> and thats where troy seems to have run off to | |
| [09:26] <thorwil> pwnguin: go tell him ;) | |
| [09:26] <pwnguin> it wouldn't be diplomatic | |
| [09:28] <pwnguin> besides, im post #2 on that entry | |
| [09:29] <pwnguin> and if troy's reading this via logs, i'll add that the letter reads like the worlds worst job application cover letter | |
| [09:32] <thorwil> he's not applying for a job | |
| [09:32] <thorwil> but enough (or too much, already) talking about a 3rd party here ;) | |
| [09:32] <pwnguin> fine fine | |

| [11:58] <xanax`> hello | |
| [17:17] <Deep6> guys is this the right place to ask to get a clue on how to make some of the more "advanced" looking themes present on ubuntu-art.org work? | |
| [17:18] <Deep6> http://www.ubuntu-art.org/content/show.php/imetalV5?content=83660 | |
| [17:18] <Deep6> as an example | |
| [17:32] <zerwas> bad example ;) | |
| [17:32] <zerwas> but what do you want to do exactly? | |
| [17:33] <zerwas> what has been done on your screenshot is simply another gtk- and icon theme and another wallpaper | |
| [17:34] <zerwas> for the bar at the bottom, take avant-window-navigator | |
| [17:43] <Deep6> sorry | |
| [17:43] <Deep6> back | |
| [17:46] <Deep6> well, is there anything to make the gtk-theme work? | |
| [17:47] <Deep6> I can't seem to get it to work | |
| [17:47] <Deep6> I get a ? in the theme manager | |
| [17:47] <zerwas> then you might not have the correct theme engine installed yet | |
| [17:47] <Deep6> how do you identify the theme engine? | |

| [20:48] <kwwii> re | |
| [21:40] <pwnguin> you know, it would be awesome if the theme applet could set themes on a per install basis | |
| [21:40] <pwnguin> sorta like how the resolution settings can be set to "this computer only" | |
| [21:41] <pwnguin> its annoying to switch between the netbook theme on hardy and the new themes on intrepid | |
