(Posting soon) I am going to try and say this in the most delicate way possible. If you don't know how to package or get sources ready, then I'd suggest you learn. Without those skills, you are going to be hindered in two regards. Firstly, you are going to be reliant on the generosity of others to turn your ideas into reality, and this is both to the misfortune of yourself (who will therefore be less likely to see those ideas become reality) and those helping you (it's always much harder turning someone elses ideas into production than your own) Secondly, without an understanding of what the distribution requires, you will not be producing anything we can actually use.. and it's problems like that which have concerned me greatly over the last 12 months and something we really need to put an end to if this 'Artwork Team' are going to evolve into a productive unit, rather than a discussive one.

The SUSEgreeter componant in the main branding package is an svg of the *background* https://github.com/openSUSE/branding/tree/12.3/kde-workspace/SUSEgreeter (Yes, I didn't know this earlier today, I learned by poking around parts of that github tree I normally avoid) Your PNG is in the wrong file format, and has static text and images which will likely conflict with the actual code for SUSEgreeter, which I believe is in the package kdebase4-openSUSE which can be found here: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=kdebase4-openSUSE&project=KDE%3ADistro%3AFactory (I'm not sure, but a quick google around has pointed me in this direction - I'm learning too, thats how these things are learned) Please, feel free to learn how SUSEgreeter works, please feel free to change it so your concept can become reality, but with the time left before 12.3 needs to be ready, our collective resolution for the new year really has to be one of 'getting stuff done', not posting very pretty concepts in the hope that someone else can do the work for you -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org
