12:03 <popey> How are you?
12:04 <JoeyChan> good  :)
12:04 <popey> Super.
12:04 <JoeyChan> How's the RTM status ?
12:04 <popey> Well, we have an RTM image, built yesterday.
12:05 <JoeyChan> lol
12:05 <popey> So there will be more testing over the next week or so
12:05 <popey> Which may result in more bugs, as always.
12:05 <popey> There's also more testing going on for different languages
12:05 <popey> So for example there's a bit more testing of some European languages, and Chinese..
12:06 <JoeyChan> I have contacted someone in MEIZU, they  may provide one machine for me to test   :D
12:06 <popey> oh nice!
12:06 <popey> You're lucky living near them! ☻
12:06 <JoeyChan> Yes  I am   haha
12:06 <popey> I'm running my nexus 7 in Simplified Chinese at the moment.
12:06 <JoeyChan> oh
12:07 <JoeyChan> Can u read it ?   :P
12:07 <popey> hah, no!
12:07 <popey> I recognise the icons though ㋛
12:07 <JoeyChan> :P

12:07 <popey> some things aren't translated properly it seems - "Phone" for example
12:08 <JoeyChan> yes  indeed
12:08 <popey> http://projects.davidplanella.org/stats/utopic
12:08 <popey> looks like traditional and simplified chinese have some work to do
12:08 <JoeyChan> and ..   u may see some Chinese charecters have different font style
12:09 <JoeyChan> some are "bold" some are not
12:09 <popey> yes. I don't know what font will be used in the final image.
12:10 <popey> Anyway, back on the subject of shorts.
12:10 <JoeyChan> ok
12:10 <popey> I saw your screenshot with the purple gradient removed...
12:10 <popey> I think it's a good idea to play with the background a bit.
12:10 <popey> We won't be getting any time from the design team any time soon (if at all).
12:11 <popey> So will need to do some work on that ourselves.
12:11 <popey> I've been playing with some design changes for shorts, but I need to finish those.
12:11 <popey> My inkscape skills aren't good!
12:19 <JoeyChan> sorry for the disconnect ...
12:19 <JoeyChan> did I miss sth ?
12:20 <popey> no
12:20 <popey> well, what was the last you saw?
12:20 <JoeyChan> [20:10:22] <popey> I think it's a good idea to play with the background a bit.
12:21 <JoeyChan> the background idea is from clock-app
12:22 <popey> 13:10:33 < popey> We won't be getting any time from the design team any time soon (if at all).
12:22 <popey> 13:10:46 < popey> So will need to do some work on that ourselves.
12:22 <popey> 13:11:04 < popey> I've been playing with some design changes for shorts, but I need to finish those.
12:22 <popey> 13:11:08 < popey> My inkscape skills aren't good!
12:23 <JoeyChan> :P
12:23 <JoeyChan> we aren't professional designer
12:24 <popey> indeed!
12:25 <JoeyChan> oh ya,    have u test the new header   branch from Roman ?
12:26 <popey> i tested a while back, has it changed recently?
12:26 <popey> got a link so I can test again?
12:26 <JoeyChan> wait one
12:27 <JoeyChan> lp:~mrqtros/ubuntu-rssreader-app/ubuntu-rssreader-app-new-header-temp
12:27 <popey> thanks
12:28 <popey> Works nicely!
12:29 <JoeyChan> :D
12:30 <JoeyChan> it is ready to merge if u agree  :)
12:31 <popey> lets do it!
12:32 <JoeyChan> lol
12:32 <JoeyChan> will do !
12:32 <popey> thanks JoeyChan
12:32 <popey> I'll upload to the store a bit later today.
12:34 <JoeyChan> well,  that branch is not merged yet, it needs to be clean enough before merge into trunk
12:34 <popey> ok, I'll keep an eye out for it.
12:34 <popey> Are you going to work on the colours?
12:35 <popey> Maybe remove the gradient colour in the background?
12:35 <JoeyChan> yep, will continue test some new style
12:35 <JoeyChan> the gradient colour is an "image" file
12:35 <popey> maybe the app could have a changeable theme?
12:35 <JoeyChan> same as clock-app
12:36 <popey> right
12:36 <JoeyChan> changeable ?
12:36 <popey> light theme and dark theme
12:36 <popey> e.g. reading at night you might use a dark theme
12:36 <JoeyChan> good idea
12:37 <popey> i think sudoku has switchable themes.
12:37 <popey> might want to look at those?
12:38 <JoeyChan> oh,  I don't know that
12:38 <JoeyChan> try it now
12:39 <JoeyChan> yeah ..  a light theme and a purple theme
12:40 <JoeyChan> will take a look at their source code
12:41 <popey> Ok.
12:41 <popey> I didn't have anything else to raise. I will keep an eye out for the header merge, and wait to update the store until that comes in.
12:42 <JoeyChan> :)
12:43 <JoeyChan> one thing more
12:43 <JoeyChan> any news for Shorts in RTM ?
12:44 <JoeyChan> Is it necessary to create an RTM branch for Shorts ?
12:44 <popey> I don't think we need to, no
12:44 <popey> Maybe later when a "final" image is made.
12:44 <popey> but right now, no.
12:44 <JoeyChan> ok
12:45 <JoeyChan> Nothing else to discuss  :)
12:46 <popey> great.
12:46 <popey> Have a super weekend!
12:47 <JoeyChan> u 2  !   :)
