First, let me apologize for any inaccuracies that I may portray, I assure you they are because of my ignorance and unintentional.
Many are aware that Ubuntu is moving to Plymouth, which will be used in lieu of the Usplash used previously. Unfortunately, Ubuntu Studio does not have a Plymouth theme at this time so I have been working to rectify this. Unfortunately, the UI Freeze is already passed but hopefully given the nature of the profound font/theme changes currently being experience in Lucid, we may acquire an exception. I have posted about this on IRC but #ubuntustudio-devel appears to be scarcely attended during the weekend. Hopefully the mailing list will fare better. I have two themes "completed" currently, they are rough around the edges but they prove the concept. I have tried to avoid devoting too much time to any one of them in order to get input from others so we can clean the rough edges and polish one of them before Monday. The first is representative of the existing Uplash from Karmic: http://fossmusicproject.org/public/ubuntustudio-logo.ogv The second adds a rotating Ubuntu Studio icon: http://fossmusicproject.org/public/ubuntustudio-rotate.ogv The third, which I just realize how I can accomplish it, will be a spinning icon, much like a coin spinning on a table. Obviously, if I just realized the methodology then I do not have an example to share, but I should probably be able to knock on up this evening. Now, I need your input on these. Which one is preferable? How can we make it look better? Does someone want to provide different graphics? Would you prefer the icon located somewhere else? Should the font be smaller? Please do not be too critical of the examples above as they are merely proof-of-concepts. Even the one that imitates the old Uplsash required different methodologies and it wasn't one that I original thought I could accomplish. Any and all input, critique or advice is welcome.
