Hi,
I just want to get to know the current status for 13.2:
1. Kim has done the YaST installer theme. (I forgot to mention that, sorry Kim) Yeah on that subject, Richard seems to have all the pieces ready to be merged, (We can checkout what Kenneth have done in his repo on github) and backport them to our -branding.
2. Bruno said there's no default wallpaper chosen, but there's a supplementary wallpaper package made (Kostas just forgot to send us the OBS link) I've made a search on obs, seems the supplemental wallpaper are still located here https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:warlordfff
Now the content has certainly changed since 6 months, and the rpm has to be tested. I guess you've to refresh the tar.xz by the content of what is inside the github/artwork/ /Wallpapers/13.2/Supplemental_Wallpapers/ Marguerite, I've seen you seems to have to knowledge to check it and improve it since you've already done that kind of things https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:MargueriteSu/wallpaper-cute-liz... Once the preparation steps are done, you can submit it from your home to devel:openSUSE:Factory project. Would that make sense and is doable for you ? We certainly can help and assist you with the packaging, and also all git related stuff (Yes victorck, anditosan I'm looking at you :-)
I don't want to comment but...the communication and governance for our artworks team is just a mess...so let's summaize things we did, don't know if getting done, didn't start to do: In middle of chaos, those who do, get power. That answer sucks, and I agree on the symptom you've describe. But again one year after the 13.1 release, its again rush time. Hopefully, we still didn't miss the GA deadline.
1. YaST theme? (installer: done; main UI?) 2. KDE theme? KDE whole branding is split following this rules 99% is in kdebase4-openSUSE (source), splitted into kdebase4-runtime-branding-openSUSE (the theme materials) and kdebase4-workspace-branding-openSUSE (config) and 1% is in branding-openSUSE (kdelibs4-branding-openSUSE, the about:/ branding)
I've discussed today with shumski on irc the last idea for the kde-branding (initiated by Marcus) was to invert dark and light color for the base branding and also propose a light variant that would look like this ( quick hack ) http://i.imgur.com/kRl7Etg.png minus the wallpaper :-) So we need brave here to hack the theme, and take time to hack on it.
3. icon theme? That one will die, certainly by lack of time, The proposal made some months ago is not finished or is it ? Is there a repository to checkout the work, is there a spec draft ? 4. grub2 theme? Don't know if a big changes is needed here.
5. plymouth theme? and not only the theme, the animation is important ... simple slick, should be also discussed with plymouth maintainers. Now there's something we can do also to minimize the impact on plymouth and grub and initrd With luks encrypted partition we show a message to unlock the screen.
If we replace the string ( which is always in english ) by a small lockdown icon we don't have to embeded pango fonts etc ... But I guess for this changes, we should have do that before ...
6. GDM/KDM theme?
7. wallpaper? https://sysrich.co.uk/owncloud/public.php?service=files&t=8e9e9269a94c30ae35a0da92d0946d64 was presented to me to the near almost done finished proposal
8. LXDE, XFCE? 9. color scheme? Will come from yast2 base I guess. 10. misc?
I think we may need a central check-list (a trello project or someting on https://progress.opensuse.org?) so even someone who always shoot and run can have a clear view of what have been done...eg for now I'm completely confused: Why not another tools ... we're excellent to have tons of them. But nothing will replace the do (*in time" is just a phantasm)
I don't konw whether I should continue implementing my wallpaper contest idea, because now I don't know how supplementary wallpapers were chosen (random pick on Flickr?), whether we have default wallpaper or not (Bruno said not yet, but victorhck said Spanish speaking members have submitted some, while I myself, as a two-year citizen for this ML, don't even know anything about the whole submitting process!), what's needed and what's not needed (see the above list, if I want to help right now, where should I get myself started?)...I don't even know who's part of the team...there's no communication, no governance, at all, for at least, well several releases. So please let's use some collaboration tool to give everyone a clear map. Can't say anything about how it was organized without digging in the -artwork archives.
