[19:34] <bobweaver> woot woot there is this channel
[19:34] <bobweaver> anyone good at gimp here ?
[19:47] <doctormon> bobweaver: Yes
[19:47] <bobweaver> doctormon,  hello there
[19:48] <bobweaver> how are you ?
[19:48] <bobweaver> want to make a gimp image for me ?
[19:48] <bobweaver> Mine looks horrible
[19:48] <bobweaver> http://imagebin.org/239224
[19:49] <bobweaver> http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~josephjamesmills/+junk/settings/download/josephjamesmills%40gmail.com-20121213193649-xw4cjokon5ajqjkn/testing.xcf-20121213193646-2091pcj7i3mleit9-1/testing.xcf         <<< gimp image that I have already
[19:49] <bobweaver> I am not a good designer
[19:49] <bobweaver> I am alright at coding but not a good designer
[19:50] <doctormon> bobweaver: You're trying to put together a design?
[19:51] <doctormon> bobweaver: You should be using a vector based tool like inkscape. gimp is for photos and cropping things made in mypaint.
[19:51] <bobweaver> yeah well I have a version of unity 2d that I use and I want to be able to change allthe settings from the dash
[19:51] <bobweaver> doctormon,  no it has to be gimp because there is a tool called qmlexporter that is used to export gimp images to qml
[19:51] <doctormon> It's not bad then, start with a screenshot, import it into inkscape and play around until you get it right.
[19:52] <bobweaver> No it has to be gimp
[19:52] <doctormon> bobweaver: Good god who wrote that
[19:52] <bobweaver> let me find you a link doctormon
[19:53] <bobweaver> doctormon,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Hgo9CWV400
[19:54] <bobweaver> so one makes  image in gimp then export and I write QT/qml backend code for it
[19:54] <bobweaver> like the image that I already is a good one it just needs to be finely tuned
[19:55] <bobweaver> like make it look alot nicer
[19:55] <doctormon> bobweaver: Sounds like you need to accept what you have.
[19:55] <bobweaver> and I am horrible at gimp
[19:55] <bobweaver> sure I could do that also
[19:55] <bobweaver> just wanted to see if I could find people that would be interested in helping me out on this
[19:55] <bobweaver> well.. because I am a horrible designer :)
[20:02] <doctormon> bobweaver: Practice makes slightly better
[20:07] <bobweaver> yeah it does best time to learn is now
[20:40] <thorwil> requiring raster images must not stop you from using inkscape. it exports them just fine
[20:40] <thorwil> screen design with gimp is insanely hard in comparison
[20:44] <bobweaver> thorwil,  wow there is a export for qml in inkscape ? I have to look up the word raster
[20:45] <thorwil> bobweaver: no, raster image -> also known as bitmaps
[20:46] <bobweaver> what I do is make a image in gimp then export to qml then most the time use the images that are already in unity 2d if not then I use the ones that are from gimp (not many TBH) then most the time there is things like button or glowbutton or pictureglowbutton that was made or I have added
[20:49] <doctormon> bobweaver: Someone should make a qml export for inkscape; if there isn't one already. Because using Gimp for that job is not smart.
[20:49] <bobweaver> Like at this point I am taking the image that I have exported to qml and am replaceing all the buttons and backgrunds and what not with stock unity 2d ones or like I said libs that are already there.

[20:50] <bobweaver> so from http://imagebin.org/239224    to ^^
[20:51] <bobweaver> It is the Overall "design concept"  like the layering and the placement of things that I am not that good at
