Can we not have the bootsplash screen be the same as the wallpaper? At least not exactly the same? It gets a bit confusing at times staring at the screen wondering if we're still booting up or if the desktop is ready. The bootup and the actual desktop should be ditinctively different, from a user POV.

That may be true, but for the past X releases it was exactly the same.... So I thought that was openSUSE proffered way of branding.

Your call as a team on how to do it ;) IMHO they should be similar (or the same) but not totally different so that we have a common artwork that is recognizable, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger aj@{suse.com,opensuse.org} Twitter/Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn,Jennifer Guild,Felix Imendörffer,HRB16746 (AG Nürnberg) GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org

Back to the helpful script + wallpaper format proposal... What do you think? Don't want to make something only to get it rejected ;)

why not? I have absolutely no idea, but certainly nothing against any improvement :-)) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org

On that note, I was wondering why won't we come up with a special wallpaper format. I mean something like layered SVG file. In a nut shell SVG is just an XML file, and as such it can contain addition data which will not be used fro rendering the image itself, but can help creating all the various versions/formats of the artwork needed in the distro. ++it could also do element positioning, scaling, etc. For example we could have a base layer which is resized and scaled to screen size; "do not scale" slayer which keeps elements never changed; and other stuff like that. Then use Inkscape binary command line to render the layers separately (this is totally possible) at the right size and scale, then recompose those with imagemagic into a final version, convert it into the right format and copy into the right place... This would make all of the branding dance so much easier.

Let me know what you think.

Well, we got a couple of things going on right now. We created the default wallpaper and also finished the other three winners. Richard Brown would be the one packaging the wallpapers. In the meantime, Eugene Trounev took care of making the default wallpaper better and now he has recently asked the list to help him with details about the wallpaper. It should be done soon.

Other than that, I know that Eugene has a few ideas about what to do with the next version of openSUSE. I believe he would like to work in creating a few more qml modules and things, but these are to be worked on after 12.2.

thanks for the update.

I am actually waiting to see more artwork requests for 12.2. I am sure there is more we can do than just a wallpaper.

Artwork for the distribution includes: * wallpaper * display manager background * bootscreen (I guess we use plymouth) * grub initial screen * linuxrc screen (booting from media) * YaST branding - this is not often changed * LibreOffice, gimp etc. might have special openSUSE themed about boxes (not sure which programs still do)

Not everything needs to change from 12.1 to 12.2 - your call ;) I'm sure I missed something so you might want to look at the openSUSE-branding packages to see what's available and create a list in the wiki,

Hi,

I'm sorry, I lost track - could a friendly soul tell me what the status of the 12.2 artwork is, please?

thanks, Andreas

Eugene it would be absolutely awesome to have that kind of svg Then we just have to find a way to make the rendering automatic in some sort We have in stock different script, but I don't know if you can script that a bit better with your svg layer thing ... Honestly generating 42 screen by hand is only boring task. (silent mode, verbose mode) Unfortunately for us, plymouth didn't manager svg, if it can, it would be able to arrange things by scripting.

a clear sign for needed scripting. If you need help: I have automated ImageMagick in the past with both bash and perl (code is at http://aw.lsmod.de/images/sig/auto/ ).
