I haven't been able to get the elinux bug tracker to let me post
anything, so forgive me for posting a few comments here.  These are from
the 3/19 image, so I apologize if any have been addressed, and they
mostly fall under "personal preference" rather than actual bugs.

* I like to add console=tty0 so startup kernel messages go to both the
serial console and to the HDMI screen, if connected.  While less
information is displayed with systemd than previously, if the kernel
hangs for some reason at boot this could avoid the need for a serial
cable which a lot of people won't have.

* Given the target audience, I would add a terminal short-cut on the
application launch bar next to the web browser.  It's not hard to get to
on the menu, but that's one of the first changes I made to the 3/19 image.

horrid (just the black part...the beagle is cute!) and would much rather
see something lighter.  I'm not aware of any other GUI environment that
ships with a black background as default, and out of all the
professional programmers I know, only one uses this sort of color scheme.

I'm working through the process of trying to install MachineKit /
LinuxCNC via packages (including the kernel and Xenomai user-mode), and
will switch to the new image for further testing.

Keep up the great work!

Sounds like a nice addon, do you have an example i can pull in?

I stole it from the Angstrom image. We just got to be careful, as it's
only 16bit, so some colors combos look odd.

I just right-clicked the application launcher section and added the
terminal program.  I can crawl around and try to find the modified file
if that would help.

I just switched to the first background color that seemed OK, a light
blue, IIRC.  But that means I lost the beagle.  :(

Anyone here good with graphics?

Charles,

I am not bad with photoshop, really depends on what exactly what needs
being done, but I am quite advanced with some things.

As a side note I rather like a black background, But I have not seen the
background image you speak of yet. For writing code though my personal
preferences are black or very dark background, with light colored text. We
all have our own preferences though . .

Er, sorry. If you post a screen shot of the beagle background image, and

I found the config file under .config.  It looks easy enough to make a
diff to add the terminal button, I'll try to verify it works properly
from a fresh install and send it along.

Another feature I forgot to mention:
You might want to disable the password request when running sudo, since
the system is automatically logging folks in.  To do this, you drop a
file in /etc/sudoers.d and remove the user from the admin list.  Details:

Charles, Ok will give it a shot after this weekend. Actually though, if I
had jus ta stock image of a beagle, perhaps the one taken from beagle.org,
I could do the rest from scratch myself. The text coloring on that image
may not mesh well with a light blue or dark grey background. But that is
pretty easy to test, so I'll check it out.

This got interesting, the file we need to modify:

/home/debian/.config/lxpanel/LXDE/panels/panel

Is actually generated on first bootup, so we can't patch it prior.

Hi William,

For reference, the current images are stored in git here:

https://github.com/RobertCNelson/boot-scripts/tree/master/images

They were corrupted in angstrom's git repo, so i took the original
from an older Angstrom image.

Seems that the color replacement tool isnt very clean around the letters. I
should have checked this before posting the image . . . But in this case,
I'll have to get more creative in what I do here ( color masking ) which
will take me a while longer. I do not have the time right at this very
moment
 but will try later this evening,

Also I had an idea of making an OpenROV like background . . . form the
beagleboard.org top animated ad box . . . Thoughts ?

If we need a new source image, you can go to
http://beagleboard.org/media and check out the images there.

The high-res logo is
http://beagle.s3.amazonaws.com/logo/beagle_logo_FNL_2_cmyk.eps.

Personally, I wouldn't mind if someone took the vector image of
http://beagleboard.org/static/uploads/BorisTux_w_Logo.png and combined
it with the Debian logo in some way to make a nice scalable backdrop
that looks like Debian. I also think the black background looks nice.

As mentioned elsewhere on this thread, there are source images at
http://beagleboard.org/media, including vector images.

One risk with the default debian desktop image, it's in 24bit mode, so
you get some funky concentric circles in it on our 16bit output video.

I see the solarization when the system is first booting, but after the
desktop is fully loaded the image smooths out.  Does the background
remain solarized for you?

Should we start the "Photobomed by Boris" desktop wallpaper contest?  :)
