... The script controls the theme and describes what should be done at what time. There are quite some examples around on diverse websites that has some nice plymouth themes. I also just combined some examples together into the 12.2 Plymouth theme.
OK. Already looking some.
* Geeko running over the screen. It requires few fixed size sprites.
This should be simple: http://brej.org/blog/?p=197 Example of flying butterfly adjusted to running Geeko
* use small Geeko as a slider on a normal progress bar, or * use bigger that will have tail where it comes slider.
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.
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 :)
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
