On Wednesday 20 August 2003 1:22 pm, Brant Fitzsimmons honored me with this communique: Hey there, Below is a web page containing further revisions to the Mandrake Bootsplash. A progress bar has been added to the verbose screen and they are now available in multiple resolutions. http://www.bfcomputerconsulting.com/mandrake/mandrake_bootsplash.html Are there any other resolutions or types of images needed? What is a lilo splash? I have an idea but would like to have someone knowledgeable confirm it. As usual, comments are welcomed. :-) My favorite is the one in the lower left - dark background with centered light spot. In fact, I like it so much I'll use it as wallpaper on my Win2K box at work (so I can pretend I'm using a real OS). Can you post a version sans progress bar for (better) use as wallpaper? Thanks Jay -- I can bend minds with my spoon.

Be gentle. ;-) I agree with other reactions, this one is really nice. Some nitpicking: Is there a reason that you didn't make the Mandrake and the L of Linux parts in italics, and have the Linux part in shadowed bold? That would make it a bit more in sync with the main logo at http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/. -- Marcel Pol

Be gentle. ;-) I suggest that somebody create a bootsplash-themes packages and include them. For each theme, the basic requirement is: - a lilo splash (640x480 bmp image processed with the bmp2mdk fpons script (see lilo.spec)) - a silent image (at least with 1600x1200, 1280x1024, 1024x768 and 800x600 def) - a verbose image Config files are in /etc/bootsplash, look at the current bootsplash package for examples. You must define the text area for the verbose mode, the text location, the progress bar location and color, and so on... Moreover you can add one more image which is present as the background for the console mode (vt-* config files), a quite dark image is appreciated not to be disturbing. Warly, should we look at mng animations also? There are some examples in the themes from bootsplash.org, for example the Redmond theme (which looks a bit like XP), and the SuSE 8.1. Also, what about freetype text?

I think it would look OK on a corporate desktop, but that's just my opinion.
Any comments? Be gentle. ;-)
I like it, but the natural inclination is to read it as Linux Mandrake and
we've stopped using that for a long time now... if it could be modified to
make it naturally read Mandrake Linux, I'd call it a winner.

That would make it a bit more in sync with the main logo at http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/. This touches on something of basic design.

Go through your computer store and look at everything on the shelf and make a tally of how many boxes have one font for the title and how many use multiple fonts.
