Yes I like that background too ! Here's a preview, a mix of that dark background with my proposal https://www.dropbox.com/s/gh98i8hv21xusfq/wallpaper3.png Bye -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org

And you can follow my progress producing everything needed for the openSUSE branding package in my fork of the >openSUSE branding github repo here: https://github.com/sysrich/branding

And for those who might be interested..the package based on the product of running make against the openSUSE branding repository has been submitted for entry to factory https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/146283

And here's a screenshot of lightdm KDE greeter utilizing our plasma theme and the branding you packaged :-)

This looks indeed good, but let's see if lightdm can become the new standard login manager. For now it doesn't support systemd-logind (working without ConsoleKit). But I am wondering what the artwork-team thoughts are on how to integrate this into a plymouth bootsplash theme ?

Thats probably a good idea. Maybe add a simple animation that can introduce the tail into the wait boot time.

I will check how creative a plymouth theme with this idea can be.

Any animation is a script. (Not sure where to look for scripts though) Also, with a tail, there is no much of animation choices that are not very complicated as scripts. It is probably easier to use whole Geeko. For instance: * Geeko running over the screen. It requires few fixed size sprites. * use small Geeko as a slider on a normal progress bar, or * use bigger that will have tail where it comes slider. The point of my previous email was not to replace wine with tail, but to base whole design on growing wine. We have so many Geekos used all over the place that we can skip it here without anyone noticing that :) -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org

OK. Already looking some.

Don't use sliders or progress bars. I had that with the initial 12.2 theme and there is showed that during shutdown the progress bar is not that accurate and you might end up with only a half-filled progress bar and the boot process is ready.

I noticed that too. Dots are very fast on boot with SSD disk in play, but lazy on shutdown. When shutdown is done dots are still far from center. So, slider or "slider", must be centered and going left and right, or something similar, without obvious limits where it must end.

My advice here would be to keep things simple and elegant.

Growing wine can be both, although the work to make that is another pair of shoes. It is some work to make wine grow, and it is even more to make that minimal in size. With more use of CPU options are huge. For some idea how small code can be there is http://js1k.com/2010-xmas/ and other examples on that site. Special is #1, Christmas Tree. It is work of genius. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org

The question is however if we want to have multiple Geeko's on the screen. One of the major important items is that the background does NOT change from Grub2 -> Plymouth -> KDM/GDM -> Desktop Splash -> Wallpaper. Only then you will have a smooth graphical boot. In the past this was easy as that the background was just color (in different gradients). Now the Grow background has the vine with the Geeko on it. So this is a given also for the Plymouth bootsplash.

Therefore I am not so sure that we really want to introduce another Geeko that is running over the screen.

One idea could be to place just a spinner in the middle of the screen, indicating the progress and animate some of the background elements. Greets Marucs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org

In other words we have to skip it this time.

You worked on integration, so you know how boot process works from grub, to plymouth, k/gdm login, and finally session. Do you have time to put that in the wiki, so that everyone can familiarize with general process? -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org

I can give it a try, however I only did the plymouth theme in the past. Grub/Grub2 was done by Michael Chang (mchang) and K/Gdm login sessions were based on the existing artwork.

Then we have to see how Michael and those familiar with k/gdm can help. I can help with general wiki stuff, like selection of title and tags (categories), templates. Once I understand basics, I can help with article, but as of right now, we are all somewhat blind on exact process, its limitations and controls. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org
