[ubuntu-art] Dust 0.3.0

[Ricardo Mariano III]

[After this release I think I'm going to stop working on the theme for a
while.]

Dust 0.3.0 won't look very different from 0.2.9; don't expect a lot.

New stuff:
 * Dropped Aurora support, sorry. I'll get it back when I get some time.
 * Cleaned up a lot of code.
 * Now uses the clearlooks engine, and uses the murrine engine (tested
with rev136) ONLY in the checkboxes and menuitems. I'd like to stay away
from murrine until it gets stable.

The 0.2 series is still available for download.

Download at:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/DustTheme

___

Also:

> * In applications with tabs, fx. GEdit, the active tab is too close to
the toolbar over it. This looks a bit cramped. I don't know if it is
possible to add 1 or 2 pixels of free space on top of GtkNotebooks

I can't find a way to do this.

> * The window bottom border appears too light to me. I would expect it
to be in the dark shade of the top. The active window could have a white
highlight at the bottom (like it has at the top)

I've seen the white-highlight-on-dark-bottom-border thing and it's not
very pretty. Personally, I use the bordered metacity theme.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Inkscape

I was kind of annoyed by having to do this manually (on another PPA
actually), so I added a brainstorm entry about it:
http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/17692/
Just in case you're curious.

Seems like it should be less work to add the PPA keys.

I like it, it's very nice and quite soft on the eyes. However for me, the
background and selected items are too grey/brown. I understand you're going
for a 'sandy' look, but its just a little dull at the moment. However, the
style of the tabs and check boxes all look great, so congratulations there.

Nicholas

I had a error with things happening automatically so I imported the key
manually.

I love it, Alex! Clean, simple and VERY consistent. Nothing totally out
of the ordinary, so it isn't breaking anything and it isn't capable of
hurting peoples' eyes. I like that it isn't shiny, and particularly your
reasoning for that choice :)
This would be a good progression for the regular Human theme.


Thanks,
-Dylan

Hi dude,
I just can't understand why you chose those scrollbars... at least try
to implement them in the murrine engine, I guess that both bg[NORMAL]
or scrollbar_color = shade (0.8, @bg_color) or similar could help.
Anyway, as said on the other email too, GtkScale::trough-side-details = 1

Good luck!

I will test with the other scrollbars.  For some reason, scrolling performance 
is much faster using the pixmap engine.  I added trough-side-details = 1.  
I'll expermiment with those other options.  Thx Andrea.

Thanks for the ultra quick response; I just updated the theme.

Ok. A bit of a back-track post but this *just* happened.

https://edge.launchpad.net/~inkscape-nightly/+archive/ppa

"This repository is signed with FA94925BB284BD756A2FB52EEFD9A0E0EC6B3CAD
OpenPGP key. Follow these instructions for installing packages from this
PPA."

So it's signed now.

I think that in this case, it is not signed because there is no person who is 
doing this but a script. It simply uploads the newest inkscape  source and 
builds it.

PPAs are signed already. More info here:

AFAIK all (or at least most) PPA keys are already generated. To get your

[ubuntu-art] Fwd: Audio for screencast - please help

[Mads Rosendahl]

Hi Ubuntu Art-team

I'm working on a tutorial video and I need help. My plan is to create a
series of videos if the feedback from this first one is any good. (
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/The%20YouTube%20Contribution%20Video%20Team
)
The series is titled "how to contribute to Ubuntu" (more info on the link
above) and I'm almost done with part one – translations. I also posted this
on the screencast-team mailinglist (but it looks kind of deserted?). Anyway,
what I need from you is:

   1. Someone with a good commentary voice that speaks English and can
   record the voiceover for the video and mail it to me. THIS ONE IS CURCIAL,
   SO PLEASE HELP OUT!
   2. Feedback on the commentary I wrote for the video (see below). I know
   it won't make much sense without the images. Anyway, especially a better
   ending is needed J


Just read and record the text below. Any recordings can be sent to me at
MadsRH(a)Gmail.com
Thanks...

(TEXT FOR TRANSLATION TUTORIAL)


Welcome to this tutorial on how to contribute to Ubuntu.  There's a lot of
different ways you can contribute to Ubuntu, even if you're not a developer.
In this first video I'll show you how to make translations using Launchpad.



Before we begin I should mention that you always can find more information
about ways to contribute by visiting Ubuntu.com



So, what is Launchpad? Launchpad is a hosting service for open source
projects that's big on collaboration.

Using Launchpad, you can translate free software projects and distribution
packages into your own language. All you need is a Launchpad
accountand a web browser.
There's no special software, and in most cases you don't
need to join a team to get started.  The registration is pretty
straightforward - just follow the instructions.



Ones you've login to your account, you click the translations button on the
Launchpad front page. Here you will be shown a list of translatable projects
and a list of translatable operating systems – I'm going to choose Ubuntu
9.04.

You'll now see a list of the translation status, sorted by language. Scroll
down to find the language you want to create translations - I'll select
Danish, which is my native language.

On this next page, you'll see a list of programs you can translate into
Danish. The status bar shows you the translation progress for each program.
The red part of the status bar illustrates untranslated strings – that's the
ones we want.

Ones you selected the program you want to translate, Launchpad will list the
following for each string:

   - the original English string
   - a note on the string's context, to help you translate it more
   intelligently
   - any current translation
   - automatic suggestions: Because the same phrases often crop up in
   software interfaces, Launchpad automatically suggest possible translations
   from its library of millions of strings.
   - a text box, where you can write a new or altered translation if
   necessary.

 If you want to view strings that has no current Danish translation, you
simply select "Untranslated items" from the "translating:" dropdown menu.

That's it – you ready to start translating.
