[05:01] <AnAnt> Hello, can I install a gtk engine in home folder ? ~/.themes/<themename/gtk-2.0/ for example ?
[09:26] * DreadKnight @ anyone knows a good pixel font creator* ?
[09:28] <andreasn> pixel fonts?
[09:48] <DreadKnight> andreasn: yeah; / bitmap fonts. trying out fontforge atm.
[09:49] <andreasn> inkscape+fontforge is the way to go
[09:49] <andreasn> the fontforge ui is horribe in it's places, but it's the best tool out there
[09:49] <DreadKnight> hmm
[09:49] <DreadKnight> i'm cool with inkscape.
[14:41] <thorwil> hi! so Agostino currently leans towards going with 1D. if everyone here has another preference, now would be the time to leave a comment on the blog. http://thorwil.wordpress.com/2008/11/01/wubi-logo/
[14:51] <doggymenz> i think ubuntu should ship with Dust and Dust Sand as optional themes...
[14:51] <doggymenz> those are awesome
[14:52] * _MMA_ thinks it should rain puppies and gumdrops.
[14:52] <melat0nin> hehehe
[14:52] * thorwil puts on a helmet
[14:53] * melat0nin cranks up the barbecue
[14:53] <_MMA_> :P
[14:57] <doggymenz> hahaha
[14:57] <doggymenz> well, it would be nice imho
[14:58] <doggymenz> anyone have problems get Dust to work?
[14:58] <_MMA_> Yes. Rainin' gumdrops would be nice. Though the Slayer fan in me wants to make a "Raining Blood" comment. I guess I just did. ;)
[14:58] <thorwil> doggymenz: thank you for your opinion. we will place it right next to the other 10000 in that corner over there
[14:59] * _MMA_ reminds himself and others to be patient. ;)
[15:06] <thorwil> Cimi: thanks for the comment :)
[15:07] <kwwii> I am going to update the community themes package sometime soon
[15:08] <kwwii> so the newest dust will be in it soon
[15:09] <kwwii> thorwil: I like 2D best
[15:09] <kwwii> oh, and http://sinecera.de/rockstar3b.png is the final (I guess) version of the button I showed you last week
[15:09] <thorwil> kwwii: as do so many. i have to convince ago somehow
[15:10] <kwwii> ;-)
[15:11] <thorwil> kwwii: from memory, the only change i noticed is in contrast/tone
[15:11] <kwwii> thorwil: basically right...I also increased the size of the "can be a"
[15:12] <thorwil> kwwii: good. who's that YOU going to be?
[15:17] <thorwil> ah, my window has been put into place: http://wubi-installer.org/
[15:18] <_MMA_> :)
[15:19] <kwwii> thorwil: that pic is for an upcoming page on the wiki, something to do with "hall of fame" or such...not really supposed to talk about it yet
[15:20] <thorwil> kwwii: oh, interesting. i heard nothing :)
[18:58] <Picklesworth> Hooray! I've made a nice discovery for scalable screenshot making :)
[18:59] <Picklesworth> The high contrast theme + Inkscape's Trace Bitmap tool actually comes really close to doing the trick
[19:01] <thorwil> Picklesworth: and then?
[19:02] <Picklesworth> Well, + the ten minutes that would otherwise be spent messing with scaling in a way that fits without being blurry
[19:02] <Picklesworth> painting over the lines with fancy Human-esque gradients
[19:03] <Picklesworth> then the result looks close enough for some purposes :)
