I couldn't agree more with all this, especially with the first comment posted by Emmanuel Touzery.
In fact, I myself thought there had been something wrong when after upgrading usplash I saw the new artwork on shutdown. I had to restart again to make sure that that really was the new artwork. >What happened to the brown "human" colours? Now I can't even see the "OK"s at >the right side of the boot progress messages. Exactly. Why did we go to *grey* "human" colours? And why did the artwork change 3 weeks before release? Why not create a thread in the forums in the early stage of development to get users to throw in their ideas, for example? I think the best option would be to make usplash easily themable so the user can choose between console font colour and logo. I realise there probably won't be time to implement this in Dapper, but it is just a thought for the future. I cannot add more to this discussion. I think everything I was thinking has already been said by other users already. And again, this is not a rant. We fully appreciate the developer's work. It is because we so much like this distro that we want it to be as good as "humanly" possible. As a side issue, my Breezy usplash artwork used to look better than the one in Dapper (was the screen mode changed or something in Dapper?) before 0.2. I thought this was just a minor issue and I did not report it. But now, the change from 0.1 to 0.2 is something else...
