| 00:21 | <xris> | weird |
| 00:21 | <xris> | something about percentage widths not lining up |
| 00:21 | <xris> | I'll just set it to pixel widths at some point, then |
| 00:24 | <rooaus> | cool |
| 00:26 | <rooaus> | hads: Sorry 'bout that before, must have got you mixed up with someone else... thought you also saw the issue with Metallurgy OSD not rendered full screen width. |
| 00:27 | <hads> | rooaus: Sweet as. Sorry I can't help out. |
| 00:27 | <hads> | Everytime I look at that OSD I like it more and more. |

| 00:42 | <xris> | I like to avoid that because IE doesn't like some percentages. |

| 09:50 | <jarle> | sorry if this is a stupid question, but wouldn't it make sense to have the configure script check that all needed development packages are installed, instead of waiting until running 'make' to fail compilation? |
| 10:06 | <gbee> | it would increase the size and complexity of configure, but if the patch was submitted then it would probably be applied |
| 10:12 | <jarle> | gbee: I have just been used to the configure script first checking that everything is in place, so I was a bit taken by surprise when I had to run make over and over again, installing a new missing -dev package between each run :) |
| 10:14 | <gbee> | the plugin configure script does check, but no-one has done the same for the main configure |
| 10:15 | <gbee> | jarle: running make multiple times doesn't take longer than running it once, since it continues building at the point it stopped before |

| 10:20 | <laga> | freetype? |
| 10:20 | <laga> | lame? |
| 10:20 | <jarle> | gbee: yeah, I know, but for someone not used to compiling it would be a bit more userfriendly with a more informative feedback than just: "ld couldn't find -lqt-mt" (or something like that.. |
| 10:21 | <jarle> | janneg: freetype (but this was discovered by configure), missing libqt-mt and libXxf86vm was failing make.. |
| 10:22 | <laga> | ah, you were referring to the configure checks |
| 10:23 | <jarle> | laga: or the lack of such checks actually... |
| 10:25 | <jarle> | laga: but it is not something important, I was just curious why mythtv did not have as comprehensive configure script as mplayer for example... |
| 10:25 | <gbee> | not a design choice that I'm aware of, just that no-one has written it |
| 10:26 | <janneg> | actually I tink we check for qt. where do we need libXf86vm |
| 10:28 | <jarle> | janneg: not sure where it is used, but it was when compiling the main mythtv package it was needed |

| 15:38 | <xris> | if you wanted to look into icons, we need some to go in the quick links box on the main page, and might be nice to have some for the menu bar (at least the main sections) |
| 15:39 | <gbee> | I'd probably make the bottom banner smaller, closer to the height of the menu bar up top |
| 15:39 | <xris> | and then the "mythtv in detail" article will need a bunch of stuff, but I'll ask the respective devs to write something up for their own section. |
| 15:39 | <gbee> | but that's my only criticism |

| 15:39 | <xris> | I can make it smaller.. we're sort of stuck with the logo sizes for the sponsors. |
| 15:39 | <xris> | simech logo will probably turn green for the final version because that's what marketing has been pushing lately |
| 15:40 | <gbee> | xris: yeah, doesn't need to go much smaller, just a few pixels |
| 15:40 | <xris> | that's easy enough |
| 15:40 | <gbee> | I'll play with icon ideas tonight |
| 15:41 | <xris> | reload for slightly smaller |
| 15:42 | <gbee> | much better |

| 15:42 | <gbee> | only subtle change but the top/bottom seem better balanced |
| 15:43 | <gbee> | for the icons, where you thinking text buttons or icons alongside the text? |
| 15:43 | <xris> | icons next to text |
| 15:43 | <xris> | that way control-f and search engines will still work properly |
| 15:45 | <gbee> | sure, I would have said the same if you were thinking of buttons, but you know what you are doing ;) |
| 15:47 | <xris> | yeah, buttons should be all in one. |
| 15:47 | <xris> | but I'm not a big fan of images-as-text when real text works just as well |

| 16:59 | <gbee> | this is hard, I started with the quick links icons but I wasn't getting anywhere, so I gave a go at an idea for the menu bar |
| 16:59 | <gbee> | http://miffteevee.co.uk/imagebin/newmyth_idea1.png |
| 17:01 | <gbee> | the idea there is that the images lie behind the text, so the text itself isn't part of the image ... |
| 17:02 | <gbee> | works a little better with the shine at the top |
| 17:03 | <gbee> | http://miffteevee.co.uk/imagebin/newmyth_idea2.png |

| 17:06 | <xris> | gbee: easy to add a background image like that... light from the top is probably better given that's how most people's eyes expect things to look |
| 17:07 | <xris> | if you want, go ahead and make me a transparent png of just the shiny white bits and I'll drop it into the site. |
| 17:07 | <xris> | should be fine with a single image |

| 17:28 | <xris> | not sure whether I prefer left or right shine |
| 17:30 | <xris> | I think it may have to be left shine because of the light effects on the mythtv logo |
| 17:36 | <Chutt> | xris, i don't know why, but the fonts on there are all non-AA |
| 17:37 | <xris> | AA? |
| 17:37 | <Chutt> | no anti-aliasing |
| 17:37 | <xris> | anti-alias |
| 17:37 | <Chutt> | they're jaggie |
| 17:37 | <xris> | odd.. they are for me |
| 17:38 | <xris> | some of the fonts might be too small for AA, though |
| 17:38 | <Chutt> | no, they're all big enough |
| 17:38 | <Chutt> | they're larger than most of the fonts in other windows on my screen, which are all AA'd |
| 17:46 | <xris> | weird |
| 17:47 | <xris> | that's all controlled client-side, though... no css settings for antialias |

| 18:23 | <gbee> | the lack of space makes icons difficult - http://miffteevee.co.uk/imagebin/newmyth_idea3.png |
| 18:24 | <justinh> | small icons are very very tricky |
| 18:25 | <justinh> | one bit of advice xris gave me was to stop scaling bigger images down &start at the pixel level |
| 18:25 | <justinh> | use a svg template as a guide if you like though |
| 18:27 | <gbee> | I'm drawing these actual size, but the problem is finding something that represents the link and can be recognisable at that scale |

| 18:53 | <xris> | they don't really have icons anymore, though |
