Ask Ubuntu General Room

Yesterday I made a new indicator, which I think Unity folks will really like. All I need now is to get an icon, and then I'll quickly make a repo and upload

Zacharee1

@Serg what colors?

Serg

@Zacharee1 Orange, purlple, white. These are Ubuntu colors

Zacharee1

ok

Serg

Q: What is the Ubuntu colour?

I'm sure you know the one I'm talking about, that deep magenta. I would like to know it's RGB value.

Zacharee1

what order?

Serg

@Zacharee1 doesn't really matter to me. I think orange first will be the best. The rest can be whatever

Zacharee1

OK

Serg

AFK . . . need to start cooking rice

Zacharee1

or does this look better?

and wifi is not on so I cannot log in via google.

Zacharee1

@onebree lol

And I cannot turn wifi on without unlocking

Zacharee1

is it rooted?

Anonymous

1:09 AM

no

Zacharee1

hmm

Serg

@Zacharee1 hmm, not quite. Let's reverse it. Top one orange on the bottom left, second purple in the middle, finally white in top right

Zacharee1

OK

any changes to the cascade itself?

this is halfway

Anonymous

I do not want to restore my device... IDK what is on it. Prob nothing, but I cannot tell without unlocking it

Anonymous

never ending cycle

Zacharee1

1:12 AM

heh

can you flash TWRP and SuperSU?

Anonymous

OMG THERE IS A GUEST MODE

Anonymous

let me see if adding wifi that way helps

Serg

Zacharee1

looks weird

Serg

On a side note, OnePlus 2 also has guest mode , which i turned off

Zacharee1

1:14 AM

All MM devices do

Serg

@Zacharee1 how so ?

Zacharee1

idk

Anonymous

yaaaaas going to guest mode, enabling wifi, and going back to me WORKED

Zacharee1

it's just hard to look at

Anonymous

now I can sign in via google

Zacharee1

1:15 AM

@onebree change your passcode

Serg

@Zacharee1 OK . . . .any improvement ideas ? I know nothing about graphic design, so . . GUI'de me plz

Zacharee1

errrg

ggghghgh

I'm trying to think what bothers me about it

edwinksl

rofl

Anonymous

yaaaaaaas I'm in.. changing my pattern now

Zacharee1

I think the purple doesn't have enough contrast

try that @Serg

wait

that won't help

Serg

1:19 AM

Nah, looks weirder

Zacharee1

That matches the color of the status bar

the default one anyway

Serg

@Zacharee1 no, lets keep background transparent, and switch white and purple places

Zacharee1

Serg

Better , I think

Zacharee1

a little

hmm

Serg

1:22 AM

@Zacharee1 It doesn't have to be ideal. Lets change it to light blue

I mean, swap purple with light blue

Zacharee1

I'm gonna try something else first

Serg

ok

Zacharee1

what does that look like?

Serg

Zacharee1

nope

Anonymous

1:25 AM

what are you trying to do, you two?

Zacharee1

looks like a bad transparency

@onebree ICONZZ

Anonymous

forwhat

Zacharee1

Serg's stuff

Serg

@onebree i wrote an indicator for unity and Zach is helping me make an icon for that

Anonymous

why not do a hamburger menu icon,. or 3 dot icon

Zacharee1

1:26 AM

he wants it themed

Anonymous

hamburger seems the most intuituve

Serg

it is intuitive . . . but this indicator isn't about burgers　：３　 but maybe one day i will write one

Anonymous

what is the indicator for

Serg

Hmmm, I will probably push it to git today, but it's going to need a menuentry for removing items

@onebree it's a secret . . .so far . . . once we're happy with an icon, it will be made known. Which is probably in the next 20 minutes :D

Anonymous

okay. Well I am going to log off -- will be watching some community

Zacharee1

1:30 AM

it'd help if I knew :p

or remembered...

Serg

@onebree do you use unity by the way ?

Anonymous

nope xfce

Serg

Ah , that's a pity . . .I'd need users to test it out

Zacharee1

Ubuntu's new design palette has black instead of aubergine

although they also have aubergine as supporting color

Serg

Black still doesn't stand out

Zacharee1

1:35 AM

but none of the shades match the one on that AU post

Serg

Zacharee1

ah, it's a Canonical core color

Try that one though @Serg

Serg

@Zacharee1 which one ? the one with purple ?

Zacharee1

aaaand someone downvoted my question askubuntu.com/questions/815591/ubuntu-16-04-and-amd-graphics

@Serg the latest. it's a lighter purple

although my answer was upvoted at the same time...

weird

no, I mean someone downvoted the question, then the answer was upvoted :p

you upvoted both

Serg

Zacharee1

1:39 AM

better

I like it

Serg

how about borders ?

Zacharee1

?

Serg

can you add the gray borders to it ?

Zacharee1

you like them?

Serg

yeah

Zacharee1

1:40 AM

ok..

ooh

I have an idea

Serg

Zacharee1

1:55 AM

@Serg

Serg

So-so ish

so i presoaked my rice today in water+Soy sauce mixture

didn't turn out exactly as i expected, though not bad

Zacharee1

hmm

Serg

@Zacharee1 i'm gonna go with the gray-bordered one. I think that looks the best

Zacharee1

ok

Anonymous

I like the latest iteration

Zacharee1

2:01 AM

do you want me to put it around the whole square at least?

Anonymous

why not use circles instead of squares?

Serg

@Zacharee1 sure

Anonymous

night all

Serg

@onebree because Unity launcher are squares

Zacharee1

Serg

2:03 AM

YES !

That's the one

Zacharee1

now it at least doesn't look like a mistake :p

Serg

@onebree @Seth @Zacharee1 @ParanoidPanda And here's is that new new indicator repo ! github.com/SergKolo/launcher-list-indicator It's an indicator that allows switching profiles for the Launcher. So you could have sets of launcher icons for Home, for Office, for Programming　, etc. It's based around the previous one - the mouse-profile-indicator

Nathan Osman

That looks pretty fancy.

Serg

It's in a working condition , though I do want to add "remove entry" option to the menu before tagging and releasing

:D Ohai Nathan !

We'll, now that changes we're pushed off to bit, everything is working so far, maybe I can take shower. After that, I'll add changes to the mouse profiled, too. And the README filled will have to be edited. Gosh

edwinksl

some minor pep8 violations, but whatever

Serg

@NathanOsman Nathan, thanks for the kind words. I consider myself a noob, but I did put much effort into those indicators

@edwinksl yeah, I'd need to run autopep8 script on that stuff.

OK , AFK now , showering

@NathanOsman Something bad happened to nitroshare. Something really bad

Nathan Osman

What?

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

I was transfering to BOOMTECH-VM yesterday and after that, it kinda corrupted the text of everything.

On my Host

Nathan Osman

Did you try it a second time after that?

(In other words, does it always happen or only sometimes?)

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

It never happened

This is just a first time

Nathan Osman

You might want to try it a second time then.

Is this a minor glitch?

Nathan Osman

Networks aren't always error-free.

all-right

Nathan Osman

@ƎpᴉʇʎXD I can't really imagine what would cause NitroShare to do that.

ƎpᴉʇʎXD

I need to transfer a DLL file with BOOMTECH-VM anyways

Nathan Osman

It sounds more like a network issue.

Unless, of course, it's reproducible.

@NathanOsman Probably, because my network was doing work in the morning

@Pilot6, @edwinksl, @KevinBowen, @DavidFoerster, @EricCarvalho Please remove your closevotes on askubuntu.com/q/806349/295286 I reviewed edit history, the author originally asked very clear question, so this was closed unfairly. Can you guys tell me what confused you there ? OP has edited his post, by the way, AND I have a solution to it. So please reopen this and let me know what happened there

edwinksl

@Serg i already voted to reopen. note that i VTCed before any of the improvements was done. the first iteration of the post was completely unclear.

Serg

@edwinksl Did it mention fcitx and plugin originally ? Or was it added later ?

edwinksl

I am using fcitx,I wish when I want to input "time", it output current time "2016-08-03 11:15".How to setup?

Serg

5:34 AM

Thank you, Nathan

nitroshare might have deleted itself SCREW YOU NETWORK

edwinksl

What is meant by when I want to input "time"? you want a keyboard shortcut do the job or like a snippet — Anwar Aug 11 at 5:45

basically what anwar was trying to clarify, which was missing in the original post

Serg

I believe they mean that there is plugin which replaces user typed words with something else , so like I type in "current_time" and it will immediately replace that string with "Aug 24, 2016 11:37 PM"

edwinksl

sure, that's only obvious after the recent edits, so i agree to vote to reopen
