I don't think that's it, I'm just very sensitive to refresh rates (I can tell you instantly when a monitor's running below 85Hz) and 60Hz with lots of white looks absolutely horrible and gives me a headache within ten minutes...it's okay for dark graphics, or just a white-on-black console, but huge sheets of white, like that bootsplash or a word processor or something, look awful. -- adamw
Re: [Cooker] Re: [Contrib-Rpm] bootsplash-themes-2.0.0-1mdk
Um, there's already a bootsplash-themes package in main, version 1.4.1-1mdk. Shouldn't the one in contrib be named differently, or replace the one in main, or something? Warly told me to upload this package as bootsplash-themes in contrib, I've asked him to remove the old one in main. It will perhaps replace the one in main later, please give some feedback about it first ;) -- Olivier Blin

Just installed it from your webpage, package seems fine, but Brant theme seems a little buggy - the progress bar in silent mode doesn't fill up, and I see some kind of odd graphical corruption - as if someone's painting the area around the progress bar with a paint program's block tool - in verbose mode.

Yep, I've tried to do a graphical progress bar on this theme, but bootsplash normally doesn't allow this, so I've tested some tricks, but they sometime break the progress bar.
