Re: [ubuntu-art] Usplash debate
Mark, can you explain me why usplash artwork are flatten ? Also how to get a usable .so ? I wrote a Makefile that handle quite well the build and install process of splashes. Is it wrong ? Is there any doc about making usplash theme ? UsplashCustomizationHowto seems to have problems according to UsplashCustomizationHowtoDiscussion Étienne.

The simple logo-less Ubuntu logo would be a great starting point. Perhaps limit the colors and add a grad in using a very crunched palette? Unless I am mistaken dithering is not allowed on these pics. Perhaps I am wrong? Bye, Ken -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

I really appreciate the effort and the care and the creativity of the proposals. At this stage in the release process there is absolutely no way we can change the code or protocols associated with usplash, which means this effort needs to be SOLELY focused on getting a great image. We have to live with the constraints of the current usplash implementation for Dapper, and can reinvent and improve the technology in Edgy. Remember, the usplash has to look great on old POWERPC devices as well as Sparc and old PC's with dodgy video cards. We took the decision some time ago that working everywhere was more important than having high resolution and lots of colours. It's the mark of a great UI artist that (s)he can produce something that looks super despite challenging device constraints. I'm asking all the people who are working to improve the usplash NOT to waste time trying to change the code at this point - we are in deep deep freeze. Instead, to live within the constraints of usplash and propose images for testing which look as good as possible. Mark First of all, thanks for clarifying once and for all that the usplash code cannot be changed anymore. There's been a lot of confusion about that lately. I'd like to ask you how the logo guidelines come into play in the making of a usplash screen. Are we supposed to stick with the currently used color scheme of brown for Ubuntu, blue for Kubuntu, and yellow for Edubuntu? Do you think that the usage of the Tangerine color undermines the typical Human brown color that seems to be less and less used lately? Or are artists allowed to create anything they like, as long as it's usable and looks good? Also, is there a hard deadline for these splash screens? Lastly, I've set up a wikipage for the usplash splash screen proposals. You can find it here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Usplash/ DapperPropositions Please add your splash screens to this page so that we can have a good overview of the possibilities that may be considered. The last thing we want this late in the development cycle is confusion about where everybody's contributions are, I'd say.
