Dear Robert.

I personally wouldn't use a completly different design for
installation/boot and desktop.

Can I know why? It's not a problem to OSX and windows.

A common design offers a consistent user experience.

What I could imagine, is a e.g. gray version of the wallpaper elements
for install/boot and a colored version for the desktop. Color changes
from e.g. green to blue are a bit strange.

Another option would be to remove most of the graphical elements from
the installer (as anaconda did in the latest releases) and simplify it
to e.g. just the logo on gray background.

Same goes for bootsplash.

Here is an example, to outline what I mean:

combined with:

might work. Similar elements are used. Nice color changes.


I agree. A total style break is not good. May we could use the azul4-wallpaper
[1] in green for the boot-stuff and the blue one as default wallpaper?

What do you think?

Then please vote for it :)
