As far as I know all of those are normally derived from the default wallpaper in openSUSE, so they are just as straight forward as resize+cut+save as... On that note, I was wondering why won't we come up with a special wallpaper format. I mean something like layered SVG file. In a nut shell SVG is just an XML file, and as such it can contain addition data which will not be used fro rendering the image itself, but can help creating all the various versions/formats of the artwork needed in the distro. ++it could also do element positioning, scaling, etc. For example we could have a base layer which is resized and scaled to screen size; "do not scale" slayer which keeps elements never changed; and other stuff like that. Then use Inkscape binary command line to render the layers separately (this is totally possible) at the right size and scale, then recompose those with imagemagic into a final version, convert it into the right format and copy into the right place... This would make all of the branding dance so much easier.
Let me know what you think.

Well, we got a couple of things going on right now. We created the default wallpaper and also finished the other three winners. Richard Brown would be the one packaging the wallpapers. In the meantime, Eugene Trounev took care of making the default wallpaper better and now he has recently asked the list to help him with details about the wallpaper. It should be done soon.
Other than that, I know that Eugene has a few ideas about what to do with the next version of openSUSE. I believe he would like to work in creating a few more qml modules and things, but these are to be worked on after 12.2.
thanks for the update.
I am actually waiting to see more artwork requests for 12.2. I am sure there is more we can do than just a wallpaper.
Artwork for the distribution includes: * wallpaper * display manager background * bootscreen (I guess we use plymouth) * grub initial screen * linuxrc screen (booting from media) * YaST branding - this is not often changed * LibreOffice, gimp etc. might have special openSUSE themed about boxes (not sure which programs still do)
Not everything needs to change from 12.1 to 12.2 - your call ;) I'm sure I missed something so you might want to look at the openSUSE-branding packages to see what's available and create a list in the wiki,
Andreas
Please let us know AJ

Hi,
I'm sorry, I lost track - could a friendly soul tell me what the status of the 12.2 artwork is, please?
thanks, Andreas
Eugene it would be absolutely awesome to have that kind of svg Then we just have to find a way to make the rendering automatic in some sort We have in stock different script, but I don't know if you can script that a bit better with your svg layer thing ... Honestly generating 42 screen by hand is only boring task. (silent mode, verbose mode) Unfortunately for us, plymouth didn't manager svg, if it can, it would be able to arrange things by scripting. But basically on my side it's a big +1 -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Ambassador GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org
