User1: http://img176.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1.png   does the shadow is correct please ?
User2: thorwil, if you order one of those (displays), will you order one for me as well ;)
User2: zniavre, does not look totally wrong.
User2: zniavre, i am bad with shadows, though.
User3: knome, sure. right after my world tour!
User2: :]
User2: but really, the resolution is quite lousy

User2: o.o
 * MetalMusicAddict waves.
 * MetalMusicAddict is _MMA_ (from a different PC.)
User4: User5 Why did you remove your color of "document-save"? I think green was better there.
User5: i liked it too but , it was too similar to daniel's submission felt like cheating :P
User5: User4 ^
User4: Naa... That's what's needed sometimes.
User5: User4 also thought that someone might tell daniel himself to correct the color
User4: Also note, I won't be able to reply to the list 'till tomorrow night or so.
User5: np...
User5: User4 so should i add mine or , will someone tel daniel?
User4: Well since you nixed it now, just drop a note on the list.
User5: User4 did u check the emblems, i tried to keep them simple since they will never be viewed full... how are they?
User4: I really want to reply again to the thread about the spreadsheet mime. Nobody listened to my 1st post about setteling the look of the base mime 1st.
 * MetalMusicAddict looks again
User4: User5 Oh yeah. Are they from scratch?
User5: yup, onlt for the downloads the world icon i copied off of the internet categories icon
User5: only^
User4: Really? And you just started with SVGs? :)
User5: User4 come on, they are just simple lines... are they usable? or need any editing?
User5: just started on 1 emblem then since i was on a roll , made 6!
User4: You'de be surprised how many can't even do that. ;)
User4: But yeah. I like 'em. Might need a little shine here and there.
User4: I wanna see what Seb says.
User5: User4 like my initial submissions for nm-signals?
User4: I think the "X" and "!" finishes are off from the others though.
User5: User4 hei x is me
User4: They have this edge shine that looks to be missing from the others. (I'd get rid of it)
User3: macvr, i think the favorite star should be symmetrical. or have a clear perspective
User4: But I like the odd shape to the arrows.
User3: macvr, for downloads, try to put the globe in front and/or make it larger
User4: User3 Really? Strait-on? I thought the perspective worked. Kinda quirky.
User5: User4 i had a tough time with x , i made that 1 fully, but ! i copied the lines and tried to remake from mail-important
User3: MetalMusicAddict, yes, quirky. is Breathe quirky?
User4: User3 Well we don't have to be *SO* serious.:)
User5: User3 i wanted to have the perspective, atleast let the fav have its perspective , MetalMusicAddict wont let the folders !
User4: But I could take it or leave it.
User5: User3 i tried to put the globe ahead, but didnt look that good :(
User4: User5 huh? What about the folders?
User5: User4 perspective.. :P
User4: Well as long as it hits the design points I'm open. ;)
User3: the X strokes end with non 90 degree angles
User5: User3 also when it goes smaller there is a problem with the circle shape of the globe , hence i'v hid it in the 16px..
User5: User3 that was purposeful
User5: x
User3: well, i hope if i cut that X in halves and flip one to compare them, they will match ;)
User5: User3 since i had the X not at as the tilted + , it created a weird effect! since i'm new i found this the best i could get, but if u can better it.. go ahead
User5: they wont :P
User4: User5 As for the network icons, I really have to give more thought to it. I think I need to create a page for all of it. Listing where these all could be used. I have it on my list but I traveled back home this weekend (300 miles) to see my family so I can't get to it 'till next week.
User3: macvr, i think synchronized is too close to some reload icons. plain ends on the arrows would move it away a bit
User5: User4 did u check dashua's screenshot>> http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/15709/screenshot_HP9X2C.png < u can view the nm -icons in action
User3: macvr, i can guide you through how to make sure things are symmetrical, but i will for sure not check each submission
User4: User5 Yes I did. Slick. But like I said, I want to see more submissions before I make any switch.
User5: User3 will try the sync with plain ends but , tried this since i didnt want to do the same way it is always done...
User5: User4 no problem , just wanted u to check it out.. :)
User4: User5 Keep the current submission up when you put up the edit with thorwils suggestions.
User5: ok
User6: macvr, what do you think the battery icons are ? big cheating from me :) the original one is what holds 97% of the work, and i didnt do it ^^
User5: User4 why do all the actions have light from below? why not maintain the lights everywhere?
User6: actually for the arrow icons having bottom light
User5: User6 :P   ... well then i'll just add them to spite daniel :P
User6: i whined about it too, and i think seb too
User4: User5 Talk to daniel about that. He's done them.
User6: but it was forgotten amongst the big feedback and once the bottom light icons were polished it was a bit late
User5: User4 he said that u shot him down!
User4: User5 Id have to look back. You gotta remember, you guys work on specific areas where I have to see things as a whole. Sometimes, past chats are forgotten.
User4: Lots to remember. :P
User6: :p
User6: the work part of artwork :p
User4: User5 But you keep it in mind and bring it up next week. We'll revisit it then.
User5: User4 np... but check the light for the icons before proposing to replace human... i think the lights are very inconsistent..
User5: ok..
User4: User5 Remember this is a process. So sometimes I'll let things in that are *almost* there to refine later.
User4: User5 If I got hung up on everything to be 100%, we'd have like 10 icons. :P
User5: User4 np...i understand...i'll remind u later... but there is a mail in the list "lighting effect of actions"...  incase i forget too :P
User4: Sure. I just can't get to it (my list email) from here.
User4: But I'm reading the web archive.
User5: User3 got sidetracked... symmetry ? how i did the x was , i made a rectangle , duplicated it and flipped it... but when something didnt look good i adjusted it...
User3: macvr, well, you can see things like such non-straight angles in typography sometimes
User3: macvr, anyway, you should make sure that things are either clearly symmetrical, or obviously elizabeth08@example.org. "almost" is bad, as it nags the viewer
User5: User3 the problem i had was , i didnt want the X arms to be symmetrical! so i ended up having to adjust the edjes
User5: i didnt want the arms to point to the corners, hence i had the problems!
User3: macvr, do you mean vertcial or horizontal symmetry now?
User5: i think the horizontal doesnt have much prob, but it more the vertical plane
User3: macvr, to me it looks like the X is meant to be symmetrcial on both axes. if it is not, it should be more pronounced
User3: macvr, you could study the letter X in various fonts to see some approaches
User5: ok... i'll have to be more careful, what i adjust :) i think i accidentally adjusted a wrong line and had to adjust the rest :( using the laptop to draw is tough!
User5: i think mouse would have been better.!
User3: ouch, yeah :)
User5: usin the tap to lock and drag just makes it tough to release :( , sometimes i'll have to try several times to just get it to the right px!
User3: macvr, if you have shape you need to tweak and later on need the other halve of it to be symmetrical ...
User5: User3 i think that where i went wrong, i didnt make the same changes on either sides!
User5: thats^
User3: it's best to delete the halve of it, copy the remaining, flip it and use the arrange tools to place it exactly on the cut
User3: in this case, you do have nodes exactly on the axis of symmetry
User5: User3 how do i erase? or delete part of the image?
User3: macvr, with bezier tool, drag select all nodes on the bad side and hit delete key
User5: User3 oh... thats the only option :( an eraser like the one in GIMP would be wonderful
User3: macvr, then select the nodes on the open side and make the segment straight (horizontal toolbar)
User3: macvr, no, the other option is to use a rectangle
User5: horizontal toolbar? what is that?
User3: make it cover the part you don't want anymore, select both, hit ctrl-shift-minus (substract, also in the menus)
User3: macvr, are you on inkscape 0.46?
User5: s
User5: u mean the one on the top?
User3: yes
User5: ok..
User5: unrelated... what is glyph meaning?
User5: User3 ^
User3: just another term similar to sign, symbol, character
User5: ok... hear it sometimes in the mailing list, google didnt give a better reply... so was wondering
User5: User3 also, will the object combine when it is flipped ?
User3: macvr, not automatically. use the arrage tools to place the half exactly on the cut line. then select both halves and do Path -> Union
User5: User3 ok...thank you... ill see how i can improve that X icon...  :)
User3: you might want to play with 2 objects and the Align and Distribute tools a bit to see what each one does
User6: Anyone living in dublin with a room/flat i could rent for this summer, by chance ? :P
User5: i havent used them untill now , but will play soon...
User5: User3 ^
User3: good :)
User5: User3 thankx for the tips... :)
User3: np
