Re: [Cooker] Updated Bootsplash Design
I've uploaded the theme with your original suggestion. Let me know when you've decided :) Ok, I'll get back to you asap. I'm packaging the colored one, do you want me to package the white one ? I've already resized the images, I use Gimp to do that. I think the colored one is nicer. I've tried to use your lilo splash, but I can't get it to be showed by lilo :/ I'll ask fpons and warly about that. Hmm... I'm not sure about that one, I haven't had a chance to try it out in LILO yet. I'll get a verbose mode bootsplash screen to you later today. -Tim -- --- Timothy R.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone, Thanks for the comments on the last bootsplash design. I've made it a slight bit less bright and also moved a color MDK star down over the starburst pattern. http://asisaid.com/images/mdkback.jpg As before the image is compressed and shrunk, meaning it isn't as good of quality as the real thing, blah, blah, blah. Thoughts? -Tim Daft question, but isn't this regressing back towards that Aurora abomonation that everyone hated circa 8.1/2 ? Ignore me if this has been hashed before...

The problem with Aurora was it was a complicated program which actually *did* stuff and messed with the boot sequence. We're only talking about bootsplash images here, and they don't actually change how the boot sequence goes at all, only how it appears...at least, that's my understanding. -- adamw

Oh my God, don't remind me of those totally unprofessional days, daft looking penguins amongst the KDE cogs, and some stupid penguin flapping its wings on start up. The big laugh really for me was that there is a French meaning of penguin that is fairly derogatory. I'll leave the native French speakers to explain it. I've even moved the start of the dm service to near the end of the startup sequence, now I can see when things screw up, like the current snmpd problem. Why emulate Windoz, when nothing works you have to go searching. With Linux a user can call out the reports over the phone.

Thoughts? If you don't mind, I'm not in favour of this change. I don't think the yellow star is looking good on that place, it feels a bit glued onto there. And then white light coming from a yellow star doesn't make much sense to me. I'd like to see the mandrake star as part of the name/logo, at the left side of the M. -- Marcel Pol

I will see if I can package up a few others in the mean time, since I couldn't let this one go by: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=7511 It matches the background I have on the login screen on Windows on my laptop ;-). So, if we can agree on the layout and contents of tarballs, and if the designers can post their stuff in (at least) the maximum res of those Warly listed, it should then be easy enough to add a bunch more (I don't want to have to mess around too much fixing paths and stuff like I did with the cursor themes).

Re: [Cooker] Updated Bootsplash Design
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Okay, I've made a few more changes, posted high res versions (1600x1200 on every graphic, save one), and put up some new stuff: a white star version, a lilo screen, and a kde splash screen (I'm guessing I should only need to make a few slight adjustments for it to work in GNOME). http://asisaid.com/linux/mandrakeboot.html Thoughts? -Tim On Monday 18 August 2003 11:36 pm, Timothy R.
