Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-artwork

Admitidly this is a minor bug, but it's also one that has already been addressed by Richard Stellingwerf on the 8th of September when he submitted a new design for the progressbar in human.

I've posted a screenshot of the current Edgy knot3 progressbar with the issue here:

And the updated version from Richard here:

Notice how the orange fill and the shading on the glass tube are lined up on the updated version while they are way off on the first. Much nicer IMO.

Good catch. Is there a patch for this, and has it been passed to the
right maintainers?

Well, it's not implemented yet but then I don't honestly know what work has been submitted. For reference purposes I'll quote Richard's original post to the ubuntu-art list on this topic. I hope he doesn't mind but it might prove useful before we go further with this.

Hi guys and gals,

A few days ago Benjamin Otte (Company) sent me a nice patch for
ubuntulooks, which slightly changes the appearance of the progressbars
in Ubuntulooks.

The current progressbar renders squared (width=height) cells,
resulting in a partially rendered cell at the end of the bar when the
bar's width is not a multiply of a cell's width.

Benjamin's patch calculates a sensible width for each cell, so that
the bar contains only complete cells. The number of cells also varies
depending on the width. An example screenshot is located here:

My plan is to get this into edgy. I hope you guys like it.

Kind regards,
Richard Stellingwerff.
