00:10 | <rooaus> | xris: The #index_header2 float right has dropped below #index_header with normal text zoom setting. |
00:11 | <xris> | what res monitor? |

00:11 | <rooaus> | want a ss? |
00:11 | <xris> | sure |

00:11 | <xris> | try a shift-reload first |

00:20 | <hads> | xris: Colours look nicer than before. Here's what it looks like in Konqueror; http://hadley.rich.gen.nz/tmp/snap.png |
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. |
00:27 | <rooaus> | yeah |
00:34 | <hads> | gbee: On my display I'm seeing about 2px or so of gap underneath the program info display on Metallury OSD. I'm trying to figure it out but don't know my way through the XML files. |

00:42 | <hads> | xris: Now it's aligned right :) It works if I put a 100% width on #footer |
00:42 | <xris> | I like to avoid that because IE doesn't like some percentages. |
00:42 | <xris> | reload |
00:42 | <rooaus> | The drop menu doesn't line up with the edge of the "About MythTV" same as in the prev ss, is it meant too? |
00:43 | <hads> | xris: Yup, that got it. |
00:43 | <xris> | cool |
00:43 | <xris> | rooaus: I haven't tried to do that yet |
00:43 | <xris> | probably should |
00:43 | <rooaus> | np |
00:46 | <xris> | there, that was easy. 10px off |
00:49 | <rooaus> | heh, nice when it is that simple ;) |
00:57 | <xris> | wow, I think I actually have all of the pages figured out.. meaning, I know which pages we need to have. |

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 |

10:17 | <janneg> | jarle: huh, what's missing besides qt? |
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 |

15:37 | <xris> | http://newmyth.forevermore.net/ |
15:37 | <xris> | colors should be a little better now |
15:37 | <gbee> | definite improvement, saw it in the logs earlier, looking very good |
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. |

15:40 | <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 |
17:03 | [~] | gbee goes to try some other ideas |

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 |
18:28 | <justinh> | yep. that's the kink with icons |

18:29 | <gbee> | there are a few things that could represent "news archive" but few that would be recognisable in a 21x21 pixel icon |
18:33 | <xris> | gbee: or just make them bigger.. for the quicklinks section, you could aim for 24x or 32x pixels |

18:43 | <gbee> | went to 25x25 (even number might be better ... ) and flipped the shine: http://miffteevee.co.uk/imagebin/newmyth_idea4.png |
18:44 | <xris> | ah, interesting... my firefox stretches to fit, or something.. annoying |
18:44 | <gbee> | xris: just let me know if I'm on the right track and if not, whether you've got a specific style in mind |
18:45 | <xris> | I like the monochrome icons.. not sure what I think about the shiny bits |
18:45 | <xris> | hads: I'll make sure it gets cleaned up before any final version happens |
18:46 | <gbee> | xris: shine on the icons or the menu bar? or both? |
18:47 | <xris> | gbee: I guess I meant the blue bubble stuff. |
18:47 | <xris> | I'm not in love with the menu bar shine, either, but it looks better than without it |

18:53 | <xris> | that wouldn't work great for mythtv, but I've always liked their designer's style. |
18:53 | <gbee> | ok, in this one I've removed the glassy effect, then picked a range of backgrounds - first section graded, second section solid with a choice of colours: http://miffteevee.co.uk/imagebin/newmyth_idea5.png |
18:53 | <gbee> | xris: ok, I'll take a look at that, maybe it will give me some ideas |

18:53 | <xris> | they don't really have icons anymore, though |
18:54 | <xris> | it boils down to me really not knowing what I want, artistically |
18:54 | <xris> | the mockup collection is here: http://forevermore.net/mythtv/mockups |
18:55 | <xris> | jeanphilippe and lundin styles are my current favs |
18:56 | <xris> | but studies show that light text on dark background tends to push people away from websites... even though it's easier on the eyes, people who aren't used to it unconsciously don't want to spend time looking at it |
18:57 | <hads> | Hadn't seen lundin, looks nice. |

19:32 | [~] | hads agrees |
19:36 | <gbee> | as far as the icons go, the wiki and news archive images are weak and I'll try to think of a better way of representing those |
