[Bug 76623] Re: default screensaver cumbersome on old hardware
"added 01_ubuntu_floaters.patch and default to it" Wow, I'm really glad to see that this was implemented. So, fresh ubuntu installs will show ubuntu floaters unless changed? cool! I have two more suggestions: -I'd rather have one big logo than several small ones. How big can the logo get now that it's on SVG graphics? -The logo should move slowlier and maybe have a slight spinning motion. A huge logo where only a part of it is onscreen, slowly rotating and slowly moving through the screen, would be ideal. -- default screensaver cumbersome on old hardware https://launchpad.net/bugs/76623 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

the logo gets as big as the svg defines, it will only scale down, not up, the shipped logo is 128x128 pix big. i'll look into letting it move slower, but i fear rotating is to cpu intensive for older machines ... have a look at /usr/lib/gnome-screensaver/gnome-screensaver/floaters --help to see all available options. until gnome-screensaver finally gets a configuration interface for the single hacks, you can edit the Exec line of /usr/share/applications/screensavers/ubuntu_theme.desktop -- default screensaver cumbersome on old hardware https://launchpad.net/bugs/76623 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 76623] Re: default screensaver cumbersome on old hardware
"added 01_ubuntu_floaters.patch and default to it" Wow, I'm really glad to see that this was implemented. So, fresh ubuntu installs will show ubuntu floaters unless changed? cool! I have two more suggestions: -I'd rather have one big logo than several small ones. How big can the logo get now that it's on SVG graphics? -The logo should move slowlier and maybe have a slight spinning motion. A huge logo where only a part of it is onscreen, slowly rotating and slowly moving through the screen, would be ideal. -- default screensaver cumbersome on old hardware https://launchpad.net/bugs/76623 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 76623] Re: default screensaver cumbersome on old hardware
the logo gets as big as the svg defines, it will only scale down, not up, the shipped logo is 128x128 pix big. i'll look into letting it move slower, but i fear rotating is to cpu intensive for older machines ... have a look at /usr/lib/gnome-screensaver/gnome-screensaver/floaters --help to see all available options. until gnome-screensaver finally gets a configuration interface for the single hacks, you can edit the Exec line of /usr/share/applications/screensavers/ubuntu_theme.desktop -- default screensaver cumbersome on old hardware https://launchpad.net/bugs/76623 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 76623] Re: default screensaver cumbersome on old hardware
Thanks for your time. If you could make the logos move slower and not turn around so suddenly... they kind of look like flies now, flying around like that. -- default screensaver cumbersome on old hardware https://launchpad.net/bugs/76623 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
