openSUSE to anything else you have this nagging feeling that distribution is not finished. Plymouth boot, login screen, splash screen and default wallpaper are out of sync, which gives the feeling that someone hasn't finished their job. Subconciously, that is very strong point of openSUSE.
Nobody indicated that we would drop the openSUSE wallpaper, plymouth screen, etc. However we have to be realistic here. The current KDE community team within openSUSE are not graphical designers. And we are too little in numbers to take this onboard as well. The switch to Plasma5 would come with a couple of changes that would require completely new artwork. the login manager SDDM is the best example for this. Also the current openSUSE Plasma theme no longer works correctly with Plasma5 and would require adjustments. The decision that the team took, was to switch back to the Breeze plasma theme. For kwin (window decorations) we have been using the upstream default since KDE4 and this will just switch from the previous upstream default Oxygen to the new upstream default Breeze.
2. Create some script that will set the background for all the plymouth, sddm, splash and default wallpaper. Out of the top of my head, some kind of ß> symlink that is replaced by the script, plus regeneration of plymouth
I think you got the wrong idea. The openSUSE KDE community team is not responsible for the artwork used in Plymouth, default wallpaper, grub, etc. The only decision that was taken is that the desktop theme (what is used for the panel and widgets) will be the upstream default Breeze. The other components are in the hands of the openSUSE artwork team. If this artwork team comes up with a SDDM theme, including a ksplash theme, then we will definitely use it. But at the moment there is none. So this would mean that we either have to switch to GDM or lightdm as login manager or to live with the breeze theming for SDDM and the splash until the artwork theme has created the necessary artwork. Which would normally happen for a new openSUSE release Raymond -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
