Is great! And looks really good!! From my point of view...
I blogged about that sharing your screenshots and many spanish speakers users liked too!

Hi,

Well it seems there's no progress made for 13.2 artworks...

Sorry, I think that there has been some progress. I worked on a new installer theme and several people have suggested wallpapers. Personally, I would like some feedback on the installer work :-) It's available from my github branch of the opensuse branding package. Nobody has really responded to that so I'm not sure whether I should try to get it included in 13.2. In any case it is available for testing. Currently one has to manually copy things over into an install on a virtual machine to test it but maybe someone here could help build a package? I know that Mr. Brown is **really** busy atm so I won't even ask for his help. I dream of a day in which I know how to build opensuse packages :-)

Here is how I test things in a virtual system:

Boot an install iso and enter the boot parameters "startshell=1" (us keyboard mapping at first, good luck non-americans! You can change it via an F key at the bottom but I just suck it up and try to figure it out because I often forget to change it later :p). This command will make the system boot into a shell from which you can run various commands even up to the installer itself. This way you can start the installer and abort it, change files and then restart it.

At the console run "yast". When the ui starts accept the license, select your keyboard language for convenience (see above) and click next. After this just abort the installation. If everything went well you will have network and the right keyboard for non-americans.

Back in the console after the ui stops...
cd /usr/share/YaST2/
mkdir theme.new
cp -r theme/* theme.new/
rm -r theme
mv theme.new theme
cd theme/current/wizard/

copy the files from my github branch of the opensuse git repository (https://github.com/kwwii/branding/tree/13.2) into /branding/yast/ (specifically those in https://github.com/kwwii/branding/tree/13.2/yast/) into the installation system per scp.

scp username@IP:/path/to/dir/branding/yast/* . (use the command "ip a" to find your ip address!)

enter "yast" in the command line and see the changes in the ui!

Editing the installation.qss file in /usr/share/YaST2/theme/current/wizard/ in the installation system changes the look of the installer similar to css but subtly different - http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/stylesheet-reference.html has the details.

You can override some things on the fly by opening the stylesheet editor in the installer (cmd-shft-alt-s) but often you need to edit qss in advance so that your changes are loaded before the page is rendered. You'll understand once you try it :-)

I'll still be around for intensive questioning tomorrow European time but after that I am flying halfway around the world to the middle of nowhere for three weeks and cannot promise any kind of communication...nice, eh? :-D
