Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology. 09:01 <meetingology> 09:01 <meetingology> Available commands: action commands idea info link nick 09:01 <popey> So first thing, I've poked IS to bump the priority of https://portal.admin.canonical.com/72263 09:02 <popey> Gave them a deadline of end of July, but will keep poking. They're madly busy at the moment, but this shouldn't take them long. 09:02 <m-b-o> openid doesn't take me further 09:02 <popey> oh, sorry. 09:02 <popey> well, it's the RT I filed for the geonames API key 09:03 <m-b-o> okay 09:03 <popey> On another note, dpm and I had a chat about the header colouring issue in weather. 09:04 <m-b-o> okay 09:04 <popey> Wondered if you'd considered having the header a plain colour, not changing with temperature? 09:04 <m-b-o> hmm, unsure if it always would look that good 09:05 <m-b-o> hmm 09:05 <m-b-o> we have white footer bar 09:05 <popey> yeah 09:05 <m-b-o> let me start the sdk 09:09 <m-b-o> hmm, there would be a gradient 09:10 <m-b-o> fontcolor of the tabtitle asie: http://imgur.com/nkgKD9T 09:11 <m-b-o> aside 09:11 <popey> but that's transparent, i was thinking of the header being solid 09:12 <popey> like other apps 09:12 <m-b-o> I don't know, if the gradient then is possible 09:12 <popey> you can't have one colour for the header and a different colour for the content? 09:12 <m-b-o> long tme oago, have to read th edocs 09:13 <m-b-o> "The background is usually a single color. However if headerColor or footerColor are set then a gradient of colors will be drawn" 09:13 <m-b-o> in MainView 09:13 <popey> i thought we got rid of gradients 09:13 <popey> dpm: ^ 09:14 <m-b-o> hmm, only one background color, you mean? 09:15 <dpm> popey, yes, but I'm not sure how good it'd look on weather to use single colours 09:15 <dpm> m-b-o, could we have a grey header and the rest of the body being a gradient? 09:15 <m-b-o> no, see above 09:15 <m-b-o> from the docs 09:16 <dpm> m-b-o, ok. Or could we alternatively leave things as they are now, and change the font colour of the header according to the background? 09:16 <m-b-o> hmm, perhaps 09:18 <m-b-o> I don't know if grey fontcolor is really nice 09:18 <popey> on red, no. 09:19 <popey> it doesn't look great 09:19 <m-b-o> all fonts grey, means we need grey condition icons 09:19 <m-b-o> animated grey condition icons 09:19 <popey> yeah, the inconsistency between the header and the icons is noticable 09:19 <m-b-o> othe queston, would it be possible to use custom header icons? 09:20 <popey> or... revolutionary question... we get rid of the background colours ⍨ 09:21 <m-b-o> what else then? 09:22 <popey> plain grey background, like many of the other apps. 09:22 <popey> just a suggestion ☻ 09:22 <m-b-o> we could try both things: replacing icons with custom ones and remvoeing gradient 09:23 <popey> if you have time to try that out in a branch it would be interesting to see. 09:23 <m-b-o> that#s the problem: I'm travelling this weekend and next week I'm at europython in berlin... 09:23 <m-b-o> but I'll see what I can doo 09:24 <m-b-o> do! 09:24 <m-b-o> do you know where this theme with the icons sits on the hardrive? 09:24 <m-b-o> still "suru"? 09:26 <popey> let me see... 09:26 <m-b-o> /usr/share/icons/suru/ 09:26 <m-b-o> :) 09:26 <popey> heh 09:27 <popey> beat me to "dpkg -L suru-icon-theme" 09:27 <m-b-o> locate suru 09:27 <m-b-o> for something this ubdatedb cron has to be good! ;) 09:29 <m-b-o> okay, I guess I'll have a version with white icons in some minutes 09:34 <m-b-o> hmm, I guess you cannot change the sandwich icons and the collapse cion, since they are in the sdk component 09:35 <popey> yes 09:37 <m-b-o> http://imgur.com/c9VvQFg 09:37 <m-b-o> gray 09:39 <popey> hm. 09:39 <popey> looks awful doens't it ☻ 09:40 <popey> m-b-o: you have a bug for the header colour problem? 09:40 <m-b-o> yes, there is one, filled from nik90 09:40 <m-b-o> moment 09:41 <m-b-o> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/+bug/1317816 09:41 <m-b-o> which is blocked by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/+bug/1315884 09:43 <popey> ta 09:44 <popey> I think we will just need to wait for that, given it's high and assigned, it should get done 09:44 <popey> but it's in amongst a thousand other things 09:44 <popey> will poke the sdk guys to get some kind of idea when 09:45 <m-b-o> yes 09:46 <m-b-o> another issue, which I think is importnat: 09:46 <popey> ok. 09:46 <m-b-o> I would love to replace the sheets for settings and locations with pages 09:46 <m-b-o> when we have new header 09:46 <m-b-o> like in the clock view in the clock app for example 09:46 <m-b-o> would make more sense (since sheets willbe marked as deprecated) 09:48 <m-b-o> and would also allow us to close all old sheet related bugs, which are still open 09:48 <popey> ok, makes sense. 09:49 <m-b-o> so I would offer, to build these changes on the top of the branch, where the new header already is working 09:49 <popey> ok, and land that once we have a solution to the header issue? 09:49 <m-b-o> exactly 09:49 <popey> Beta freeze is start of august, RTM is end of august. 09:49 <popey> I anticipate some of these things landing quite late! 09:50 <m-b-o> I would try last july weekend 09:50 <m-b-o> I'm optimistic 09:51 <m-b-o> start of august means 1.8. or 4.8.? 09:51 <popey> yes ㋛ 09:52 <m-b-o> hehe 09:52 <popey> i dont have a date, but that week. 09:52 <m-b-o> okay 09:54 <m-b-o> I'll try 09:54 <popey> Thanks. 09:54 <popey> So will you be around for the meeting next week or will you be at a conference? 09:54 <m-b-o> at conference 09:55 <popey> Ok. 09:55 <popey> I am on vacation next week, but dpm and mhall119 will of course be around. 09:55 <popey> will be using the weather app a lot to plan my days ☻ 09:56 <m-b-o> hopefully it will work! ;) 09:56 <m-b-o> always remeber: the app is not responible for the weather itself! 09:56 <m-b-o> ;) 09:56 <popey> haha! 09:56 <m-b-o> :) 09:57 <popey> Ok, shall we wrap up? 09:57 <m-b-o> yes 09:57 <m-b-o> have good time! 09:57 <popey> Great, thanks as always, and cheers for moving the meeting at the last minute 09:57 <popey> thanks, have a great weekend. 09:57 <popey> and enjoy berlin! 09:57 <m-b-o> no problem 09:57 <m-b-o> I'll 09:57 <popey> #endmeeting
