|
[00:00] <compacho> real things would seem more human than these current wallpapers |
|
[00:00] <ethana2> the next gnome ships some nice backgrounds |
|
[00:00] <ethana2> hopefully they're not removed |
|
[00:01] <ethana2> ...but there's no logical reason to remove them, so it'll probably actually have backgrounds this go around |
|
[00:01] <compacho> I'm not a photographer BUT I am quite good at photoshop. So maybe I can stitch some images together tastefully |
|
[00:03] <compacho> idk, how canonical would feel about the legalities of someone heavily editing photos together |
|
[00:14] <Cimi> compacho, photos are usually not suitable as a wallpaper |
|
[00:14] <Cimi> photos must have a focus, and when you have some focus you have too many details that makes the icons and the text not readable and distractive |
|
[00:14] <ethana2> yeah |
|
[00:14] <ethana2> visually noisy |
|
[00:15] <Cimi> that's why usually abstract wallpapers are chosen over photos |
|
[00:15] <ethana2> the best ones are translucent white or black abstract .pngs |
|
[00:15] <ethana2> that you can put gradients behind |
|
[00:29] <savvas> does this look.. ok (at least)? :P http://savvas.radevic.com/previews/ubuntu-cy-intrepid/ubuntucymeeting.png |
|
[00:43] * DannyKing gets back |
|
[01:00] * kwwii sleeps |
|
[01:07] * _MMA_ pokes his head in. |
|
[01:19] <compacho> cimi and ethana2 I get what you're saying. I've used many photo wallpapers in the past that totally distracted me but If u look at some of apple's wallpapers, such as the grass blades one, they make sense |
|
[01:28] <compacho> I guess using real life photos without points of focus is the key |
|
[01:29] <ethana2> there are a few photos in the new gnome wallpaper |
|
[01:29] <ethana2> wallpapers** |
|
[01:32] <PRGUY85> hola |
|
[01:38] <compacho> ok, i seen the new gnome wallpapers. Pretty cool, but nothing thats "wow." |
|
[01:38] <compacho> and they're pretty similar too |
|
[01:38] <PRGUY85> yea compacho its pretty standard OS stuff |
|
[01:39] <compacho> If I had a nice camera and lens, I could reproduce some of those images. |
|
[01:39] <compacho> hmm...i might hafta put my money where my mouth is and create something |
|
[01:40] <PRGUY85> probably compacho |
|
[01:40] <PRGUY85> you trying ibex? |
|
[01:40] <compacho> is this channel the right place to submit artwork? |
|
[01:40] <compacho> no, not yet |
|
[01:40] <compacho> waiting for beta |
|
[01:41] <PRGUY85> well this channle is to discuss artwork |
|
[01:41] <PRGUY85> I suggest you submit stuff on the mailing list |
|
[01:41] <compacho> ok, its my 1st time here |
|
[01:41] <PRGUY85> well the latest updated alpha is pretty good |
|
[01:41] <PRGUY85> I know don't worry, I'm no vet either. |
|
[01:41] <compacho> cool |
|
[01:42] <compacho> I got into ubuntu on the Gutsy release and have been slowly learning everything about linux since then |
|
[01:42] <PRGUY85> have you used the Day of Ubuntu wallpaper? |
|
[01:42] <compacho> ....the one with the tree on a hill? |
|
[01:44] <PRGUY85> no no |
|
[01:44] <PRGUY85> it's got a tree though |
|
[01:44] <PRGUY85> I think it was in gutsy |
|
[01:44] * compacho googles it |
|
[01:44] <PRGUY85> http://xs223.xs.to/xs223/08052/ubuntu-dawnofubuntu_1600x1200812.png.xs.jpg |
|
[01:45] <compacho> yepp, i meant that one |
|
[01:45] <compacho> see, that's similar to a wallpaper I wanna make. Its real and not real |
|
[01:46] <PRGUY85> the one I use is Day of Ubuntu which is a slideshow |
|
[01:46] <PRGUY85> changes according to time of day |
|
[01:46] <PRGUY85> use it with Dust or New Wave |
|
[01:49] <PRGUY85> look at this |
|
[01:49] <PRGUY85> http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2008/01/29/an-ubuntu-retrospective-in-wallpaper/ |
|
[01:50] <compacho> most of them I don't like except dawn of ubuntu and the elephant skin |
|
[01:51] <PRGUY85> yea |
|
[01:51] <PRGUY85> although the brown ones were not that bad |
|
[01:51] <compacho> this is the frustrating thing about ubuntu. it has so much potential to look great |
|
[01:51] <PRGUY85> I think most were better than the current intrepid default |
|
[01:51] <PRGUY85> well most important thing is it works great |
|
[01:52] <PRGUY85> I used fedora for a day and missed ubuntu |
|
[01:52] <compacho> i don't like when people say "Is ubuntu still using the shit color?" I for one think brown can be made to look elegant |
|
[01:53] <compacho> walk into any classy coffe shop and u get an idea of how brown can be used |
|
[01:53] <PRGUY85> haha true |
|
[01:53] <PRGUY85> well |
|
[01:54] <PRGUY85> try to emulate that on ubuntu |
|
[01:54] <PRGUY85> maybe start incorporating green or something |
|
[01:54] <PRGUY85> yet Hardy was more orange than anything |
|
[01:55] <compacho> idk why its limited to just brown. it should use all warm colors |
|
[01:55] <compacho> orange should be used VERY sparingly imo |
|
[01:56] <PRGUY85> why so |
|
[01:57] <compacho> cause I think its too strong of a color |
|
[01:57] <PRGUY85> well there are different shades of it |
|
[01:57] <PRGUY85> same as brown |
|
[01:57] <PRGUY85> I think they should go for the soft tones |
|
[01:57] <PRGUY85> and maybe add some green into it or something |
|
[01:58] <compacho> yeah, but the idealistic orange is strong in itself. Like I would use orange as a highlight on the close button of a window |
|
[01:59] <compacho> so if I photoshop some images I just find on google, I have to heavily edit them to avoid legal problems right? |
|
[02:01] <PRGUY85> don't really know, depends on copyright |
|
[02:03] <PRGUY85> beta launches on thursday, maybe they make some changes then |
|
[02:05] <ethana2> hope so |
|
[02:05] <ethana2> Dust makes brown look good |
|
[02:05] <ethana2> ..i'm rooting for it |
|
[02:06] <compacho> Dust? thats a theme right? |
|
[02:06] <ethana2> yep |
|
[02:07] <compacho> hmmm....i might have it on ym system. lemme check |
|
[02:08] <compacho> Ahhh yes. i do have it. Very classy theme. One of the very few dark themes that work |
|
[02:09] <ethana2> heyyyyy now |
|
[02:09] <ethana2> ubuntustudio |
|
[02:09] <ethana2> best usplash theme EVAR |
|
[02:09] <ethana2> ..and the desktop theme is cool too |
|
[02:11] <compacho> ubuntu studio is alright, but dust is better |
|
[02:12] <ethana2> borderless FTW |
|
[02:12] <ethana2> Shiki-Human is also awesome |
|
[02:13] <compacho> i wish making themes was easy. I would love to take a stab at it |
|
[02:14] <ethana2> heh |
|
[02:14] <ethana2> the things i want are too radical for mere themes |
|
[02:14] <compacho> right now, I'm using a KDE 4 theme for gnome |
|
[02:14] <ethana2> haha |
|
[02:14] <compacho> its so slick |
|
[02:14] <ethana2> which theme? |
|
[02:15] <PRGUY85> I was using openSuse for my KDE 4.1 fix |
|
[02:15] <compacho> umm....the default KDE 4 one |
|
[02:15] <compacho> white one |
|
[02:15] <PRGUY85> it was alright but I want it to mature a bit more. Ubuntu works better for me |
|
[02:15] <PRGUY85> yea Oxygen |
|
[02:15] <compacho> ah ok |
|
[02:16] <compacho> I think OpenSuse does the best job when it comes to looks |
|
[02:16] <PRGUY85> Dust is great yea. I like New Wave because it strikes a balance between dark/light |
|
[02:16] <PRGUY85> and Shiki is awesome |
|
[02:18] <compacho> just looked up shiki. pretty cool |
|
[02:18] <PRGUY85> yea it is a well thought out package |
|
[02:19] <compacho> Dust still is better to me and would make a great default ubuntu theme |
|
[02:20] <PRGUY85> true. |
|
[02:20] <PRGUY85> Although I've seen not everyone likes dark themes |
|
[02:20] <PRGUY85> Dust is awesome, I find it too dark for my default taste |
|
[02:32] <compacho> gtg, I'll be around :) |

[14:09] <DannyKing> Some nice stuff there thorwil |
|
[14:10] <thorwil> jepp |
|
[14:10] * thorwil -> coffee |
|
[14:10] <DannyKing> good idea! brb |
|
[14:15] * DannyKing just had to turn down another web design contract due to going to University :( |
|
[14:35] <_MMA_> :( |
|
[14:41] <DannyKing> _MMA_: do you think maybe my icon style is /too/ real for breathe? Looking at Sebastian's bin, it looks much better at smaller sizes than my paper icon. |
|
[14:42] <_MMA_> DannyKing: No. I think it's fine. We should drop the torn edge detail below 48px though. |
|
[14:42] <DannyKing> Okay |
|
[14:42] <_MMA_> Maybe just go to a plain rectangle. |
|
[15:36] <DanaG> Interesting: http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2008/10/01/bit-tech-september-potm-winner-announced/1 |
|
[15:36] <DanaG> Bit-tech Picture of the Month often has interesting images. |
|
[15:41] <DanaG> The winning one reminds me of Ubuntu Studio. |
|
[16:02] <thorwil> _MMA_: you would also do well to not quote full messages ;) |
|
[16:04] <_MMA_> Hush. :P I'm doing 100 things at once atm. Forgot the <snip>. |
|
[16:06] <kwwii> I feel like someone is pumping jello into my cranium |
|
[16:06] <thorwil> yuck |
|
[16:07] <thorwil> once imagined can't be unimagined |
|
[16:17] <thorwil> in context of a trash bin or random product, should i talk about a "base" or a "socket" for the part things stand on? |
|
[16:48] <Nece228> Hey |
|
[16:49] <Nece228> Dust theme is based on Aurora engine? |
|
[16:50] <_MMA_> thorwil: I'll have a Breathe BZR update in a min. You should re-download the template if you're using it. |
|
[16:50] <thorwil> _MMA_: ok. what's the change about? |
|
[16:50] <Nece228> Oh, it is |
|
[16:51] <kwwii> thorwil: a base |
|
[16:51] <thorwil> ok |
|
[16:51] <Nece228> I think that it's impossible to fix ugly widgets in openoffice, ff3 bug in aurora |
|
[16:51] <_MMA_> thorwil: I had to name a plate layer for a feature in the script. |
|
[16:51] <_MMA_> s/layer/object |
|
[16:52] <thorwil> _MMA_: i want to tweak Sebastian's bin. guess I should transplant it then :) |
|
[16:52] <_MMA_> If you want, send it to me and I'll drop it in place. |
|
[16:53] <_MMA_> Either way. |
|
[16:53] <Nece228> http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Slickness+Black?content=73210 |
|
[16:53] <_MMA_> Lemmie push these changes 1st. |
|
[17:22] <thorwil> damn. inkscape draws the bg layers e9e3d8 and fbce87 in front of parts of the drawing |
|
[17:25] <_MMA_> thorwil: Grab latest revision to trunk and run the script. :) It works! (still needs a couple of tweaks). |
|
[17:28] * thorwil laughs at "smartboy" |
|
[17:28] <_MMA_> Oh well. :) |
|
[17:29] <_MMA_> thorwil: Note that the trash SVG misses the "arrows" detail for some reason. Im looking into it but might not matter since we're replacing it. |
|
[17:57] <_MMA_> Killer. New GIMP out. |
|
[18:00] <thorwil> grrr. how can i safely kill and restart compiz.real? |

[18:48] <rsc-> hiya guise |
|
[18:48] <Cimi> the orange is too much saturated |
|
[18:49] <rsc-> where? |
|
[18:49] <DannyKing> Hi |
|
[18:51] <DannyKing> oops, I've not been aligning thing sto the grid |
|
[18:51] <DannyKing> *things to |
|
[18:52] <DannyKing> The lighter grey bin looks nice |
|
[18:52] <_MMA_> yep. |
|
[18:52] <DannyKing> slight jagged edge though. And the shadow is too dark for me |
|
[18:53] * DannyKing wonders how sebastian drew his paper |
|
[18:53] <_MMA_> I'm sure shadows will be constantly tinkered with. |
|
[18:53] <DannyKing> yep |
|
[18:55] * _MMA_ sets out to build GIMP 2.6 from source. |
|
[18:56] <DannyKing> What colour should I draw the computer icon? |
|
[18:56] <DannyKing> dark or light? |
|
[18:56] <_MMA_> Surprise us. :) |
|
[18:56] <DannyKing> orange it is, then ;) |
|
[18:57] <_MMA_> :P |
|
[18:57] <DannyKing> I think I'll work on that tonight. I want a break from paper |
|
[19:01] <thorwil> DannyKing: i have been wondering about the computer icon. me being an industrial designer, it's kinda my field :) |
|
[19:01] <thorwil> DannyKing: how to not say either desktop or laptop there? |
|
[19:01] <DannyKing> Oh would you rather do it? :) |
|
[19:02] <DannyKing> hmm# |
|
[19:02] <thorwil> DannyKing: no, go ahead |
|
[19:03] <DannyKing> I don't think laptop users mind if the computer icon is a desktop |
|
[19:03] <eitreach> Is there any chance for this to get into the final release? The icon set, that is. |
|
[19:03] <DannyKing> Whereas a laptop icon for computer might confuse people, I think? |
|
[19:03] <DannyKing> eitreach: not for intrepid |
|
[19:03] <DannyKing> (breathe, that is) |
|
[19:04] <eitreach> Pah. Sadness. |
|
[19:04] <thorwil> DannyKing: to include a display next to a case bothers me a bit, as the display being the computer is a common naive user misconception |
|
[19:04] <DannyKing> Release is in less than a month (I think?) and we've only just started building icons. We only have one! |
|
[19:04] <DannyKing> hehe |
|
[19:04] <DannyKing> thorwil: yeah I see what you're saying. I'll think it over on a brainstorm |
|
[19:04] <DannyKing> *mindmap, whatever. |
|
[19:04] <eitreach> I was just wondering.. I've been following the mailig list for a bit, but wasn't sure how much had been left out from there. |
|
[19:05] <DannyKing> eitreach: I think it's got everything reported on there so far actually :) |
|
[19:05] <DannyKing> I think there's only been about a weeks work on the set |
|
[19:05] <thorwil> eitreach: only the intrigues and backstabbing. everything else goes through the list ^^ |
|
[19:05] * DannyKing just noticed SemirG_Borzo's new bin |
|
[19:06] <DannyKing> That complicate things, I like both :\ |
|
[19:06] <_MMA_> :) |
|
[19:06] * _MMA_ looks. |
|
[19:06] <DannyKing> Although it looks kinda like a thimble |
|
[19:06] <DannyKing> perhaps if the base was wider |
|
[19:07] <DannyKing> I really like that light streak to the right of it |
|
[19:07] <DannyKing> Hmm, looks like it's floating a little bit at the base there |
|
[19:07] <thorwil> yes |
|
[19:07] <thorwil> already commented on that issue |
|
[19:07] <DannyKing> Oh sorry was that on the list? |
|
[19:08] <thorwil> np. yes |
|
[19:08] <DannyKing> Thought I was up to date on that, I'll check again |
|
[19:09] <DannyKing> I think that the inside of the bin slopes at the wrong angle |
|
[19:09] <DannyKing> it looks like really thick metal |
|
[19:10] <DannyKing> I like your touch of blue idea, thorwil |
|
[19:10] <DanaG> Same Breathe icon set topic? |
|
[19:11] <thorwil> no, bizzaro world Breathe icon set |
|
[19:11] <DanaG> "same", not "sane". =þ |
|
[19:11] * DanaG goes off elsewhere for a while. |
|
[19:12] <thorwil> now if only blur wasn't so cpu intensive on editing |
|
[19:12] <DannyKing> thorwil: Yeah I hate it when Inkscape dies when you use a few blurred shapes |
|
[19:13] <DannyKing> What about a bin that's made from criss-crossed metal? (like, a paper bin) |
|
[19:13] <DannyKing> I think that might look good |
|
[19:13] <_MMA_> Like a Mac? |
|
[19:13] * DannyKing goes and looks |
|
[19:14] * _MMA_ feels thorwil's blurry pain. |
|
[19:14] <DannyKing> I don't like the Mac icon |
|
[19:15] <DannyKing> But that idea (although now I'm weary it'll look like a copy) |
|
[19:15] <_MMA_> Agreed. |
|
[19:16] <_MMA_> http://images.google.com/images?q=trashbin&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi |

|
[19:17] <thorwil> image search is dodgy. found http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/images/post-sexy4.jpg with "trash icon" |
|
[19:18] <DannyKing> http://dwell.co.uk/ProductImages/400-101115.jpg |
|
[19:18] <_MMA_> thorwil: Don't turn off "safe-search" ya perve. :P |
|
[19:18] <DannyKing> lol |
|
[19:18] <thorwil> heh |
|
[19:19] <DannyKing> How about that style of bin but made from black metal? |
|
[19:19] <thorwil> http://www.vegrafik.de/trashtease.jpg |
|
[19:19] <_MMA_> That wouldnt work on dark themes. |
|
[19:19] <DannyKing> hmm good poing |
|
[19:20] <aantn> thorwil: yeah, that's nice |
|
[19:20] <_MMA_> 'tis |
|
[19:20] * DannyKing will stop thinking about bins for now, we have too many as it is |
|
[19:25] <DannyKing> Oh shit |
|
[19:25] <DannyKing> sorry I top posted |
|
[19:25] * DannyKing begs for mercy |
|
[19:25] <DannyKing> accident! |
|
[19:25] <thorwil> ha! |
|
[19:25] <_MMA_> DEATH! |
|
[19:25] <thorwil> DannyKing: 3 icons and we'll forgive you ;) |
|
[19:25] <DannyKing> hehe |
|
[19:26] * thorwil heads to the shower |
|
[19:35] * DannyKing just posted to the list about sebastians bin |
|
[19:38] <aantn> DannyKing, thorwil, _MMA_: how about a toilet? |
|
[19:38] <aantn> we could have an empty and full icon :-D |
|
[19:39] <_MMA_> If I thought you were serious, I'd call you names. |
|
[19:39] <aantn> _MMA_: heh :) |
|
[19:40] <DannyKing> I think it's too jokey to be in a theme that aims to make Ubuntu look fantastic |
|
[19:40] <DannyKing> To me it's quite a ... "serious" theme |
|
[19:40] <DannyKing> for want of a better word |
|
[19:41] <DannyKing> I considered a shredder but the analogy is wrong (although I'll do that for a secure deletion program perhaps) |
|
[19:41] <_MMA_> I'm sure using a toilet would pretty much kill any shot at default. |
|
[19:42] <DannyKing> thorwil: I can't seem to think of any other way to draw a computer than drawing a desktop machine |
|
[19:42] <aantn> DannyKing: but... |
|
[19:42] <DannyKing> aantn: hmm? |
|
[19:42] * aantn grins |
|
[19:42] <_MMA_> Note: Ant screens/monitors should be widescreen. ;) |
|
[19:43] <_MMA_> *Any |
|
[19:43] <aantn> DannyKing: you could have a flushing noise when they empties the trash :-D |
|
[19:43] <DannyKing> fine with me _MMA_ |
|
[19:43] <DannyKing> You really like that idea huh? :p |
|
[19:43] <aantn> er, empty not empties |
|
[19:44] <DannyKing> _MMA_: for hardware should be aim to draw top-spec stuff? Like $200 keyboard/mice sets rather than generic stuff |
|
[19:44] <DannyKing> i.e. make it look expensive or normal? |
|
[19:44] <aantn> DannyKing: nah, don't take everything I say seriously ;) |
|
[19:44] * aantn fully understands that a toilet icon can't go in any serious icon theme |
|
[19:45] <DannyKing> Any other non usual ideas for icons are welcomed though. It's good to think out of the box |
|
[19:45] <_MMA_> DannyKing: I would think design over price. If it looks good, we use it. |
|
[19:46] <aantn> DannyKing: I know |

[20:09] <thorwil> DannyKing: well, i think it might be possible to draw something that could be taken to be either a closed laptop, or a flat desktop |
|
[20:09] <thorwil> DannyKing: btw, i agree with your additional points about Sebastian's bin |
|
[20:10] <DannyKing> Great thanks :) |

[20:12] <_MMA_> Or GIMP 2.6 PPA. https://launchpad.net/~c-korn/+archive Yay Conn the super-sleuth. |
|
[20:15] <DannyKing> thorwil: but the monitor confuses things. 99% of laptop users don't use an external monitor |
|
[20:16] <thorwil> DannyKing: i wouldn't include a display |
|
[20:17] <DannyKing> I just think a closed laptop wouldn't be easily recognisable as either a laptop or a desktop. I agree with your desire to have an icon that represents both but I don't think that's that icon |
|
[20:18] <DannyKing> We could include both a laptop and a desktop (at larger sizes?) |
|
[20:18] <DannyKing> Or provide two icons? |
|
[20:19] <thorwil> 2 icons are not that useful, as we can't switch automatically |
|
[20:19] <DannyKing> Or possibly just an image of the desktop |
|
[20:19] <DannyKing> No hardware at all, but almost like a screenshot? |
|
[20:20] <thorwil> DannyKing: too easy to be mistaken as show-desktop or display |
|
[20:20] <DannyKing> hmm |
|
[20:21] <_MMA_> Confusing for laptop users or not, it's still a universal image for the computer. This is a minor issue to me. |
|
[20:21] <_MMA_> I say we draw a widescreen monitor and be done with it. |
|
[20:21] <DannyKing> That's the monitor configuration icon, it'll need another hardware device with it |
|
[20:22] <DannyKing> Personally I don't mind the tried & tested desktop icon |
|
[20:23] <_MMA_> I dont think it actually *needs* a box beside it. Human doesnt. Just has monitor and keyboard. |
|
[20:23] <DannyKing> I think I'll work on the cd drive icon instead to give us a chance to think it over |
|
[20:24] <_MMA_> That GIMP PPA works BTW. |
|
[20:24] <DannyKing> cool |
|
[20:24] <DannyKing> brb, food |
|
[20:41] <DannyKing> Back |
|
[20:41] <DannyKing> you guys played with filter effects in Inkscape yet? Look at what they can do: (first post) http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1607&sid=4c81dbf7fc9ac2e437a08042a237382e |
|
[20:42] <DannyKing> firefox can view that svg |
|
[20:42] <thorwil> nice! |
|
[20:42] <DannyKing> Yeah, I had no idea they were as powerful as that |
|
[20:42] <DannyKing> if you move the nodes around the pattern updates |
|
[20:42] <thorwil> firefox can display it and crawl! ^^ |
|
[20:43] <DannyKing> thorwil: true :p |
|
[20:44] <DannyKing> _MMA_: I don't like the perspective of the oxygen drive-optical icon |
|
[20:44] <_MMA_> There's also a pretty cool InkBleed effect. |
|
[20:44] <DannyKing> Can I change it to match sebastian's bin perspective? |
|
[20:44] <_MMA_> DannyKing: Go for it. |
|
[20:44] <_MMA_> Everything's open. |
|
[20:44] <thorwil> DannyKing: we havn't decided on perspective, yet, after all |
|
[20:45] <DannyKing> something similar to this? http://www.itreviews.co.uk/graphics/normal/hardware/h669.jpg |
|
[20:45] <DannyKing> thorwil: yeah, just mindful of being influenced by oxygen |
|
[20:46] <thorwil> DannyKing: nobody will care about an oxygen influence if our icons will have a human touch and otherwuse just rock ;) |
|
[20:49] <_MMA_> However I'm not at all against using the Oxygen icons where they fit. |
|
[20:50] * _MMA_ goes to take a break for a bit. |
|
[21:02] <thorwil> so i made the lip of the bin thicker and added a shadow beneath. and now in the middle of the work it's time to log out again :} |
|
[21:02] <thorwil> good night! |
|
[21:26] <savvas> what's the current default background in intrepid? |
|
[21:29] <savvas> must be this one: /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename "/usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png" |
|
[21:31] <rsc-> ugh |

|
[21:34] <rsc-> given gtk constraints |

|
[21:41] <DannyKing> Hi Borzo, you submitted the second bin, right? |
|
[21:42] <Borzo> Hi DannyKing, yes I did |
|
[21:42] <Borzo> I just finished correcting the perspective |
|
[21:42] <Borzo> and made the top thinner |
|
[21:42] <DannyKing> Nice work :) |
|
[21:44] <Borzo> thanks... |
|
[21:45] <Borzo> I will submit the new version tomorrow, i still need to write this serious work e-mail now |
|
[21:45] <DannyKing> I hope you don't mind the critiques? |
|
[21:45] <Borzo> not at all |
|
[21:45] <DannyKing> cool :) |
|
[21:45] <Borzo> it makes it better don't they :) |
|
[23:07] <rsc-> sup guys :) |
|
[23:07] <DannyKing> hellew |
|
[23:51] <PRGUY85> sup people |
|
[23:51] <PRGUY85> hola Dannyking |
|
[23:52] <DannyKing> hola como va? |
|
[23:52] <PRGUY85> todo bien y tu |
|
[23:52] <DannyKing> bien gracias |
|
[23:53] <PRGUY85> alguna noticia nueva? |
|
[23:53] <DannyKing> estoy instalando Ubuntu server por el tercero vex hoy :\ Tengo problemas con encryption y siempre lo roto |
|
[23:54] <PRGUY85> por ahora a mi me va muy bien con Ibex, lo unico es que a veces el driver nvidia hace cosas raras en los "window borders" |
|
[23:54] <DannyKing> como que? |
|
[23:55] <PRGUY85> que se desaparecen los colores, se queda palido y solo reaparecen cuando subo y bajo la ventana |
|
[23:55] <PRGUY85> the community packages look awesome in ibex, specially on my laptop. |
|
[23:56] <PRGUY85> tomorrow is beta release right? |
|
[23:56] * DannyKing shrugs |
|
[23:56] <PRGUY85> yea I think it is oct 2 |
|
[23:57] <DannyKing> cool |
|
[23:57] <PRGUY85> any new ideas on breathe? |
|
[23:57] <DannyKing> Borzo submitted a new bin which looks pretty cool |
|
[23:57] <DannyKing> Although I can't choose which one I prefer |
|
[23:58] <PRGUY85> the gray one? |
|
[23:58] <DannyKing> thornill wants the computer icon to represent both laptops and desktops, and I have no idea how to do that |
|
[23:58] <DannyKing> and I'm going to work on a cd drive icon tonight if I finish installing ubuntu /ever/ |
|
[23:58] <DannyKing> PRGUY85: There are two grey ones, The original and now a new one by a different person |
|
[23:59] <PRGUY85> DannyKing: Yes, I'm seeing it. The new one kinda looks more like a Fedora icon, others look more Ubuntu-ish and more hyper-realistic. Yet, they look very much alike current icon theme. |
