Just $.02, but I like the overall look of the animation. Whatever can be gleaned from that and implemented would be awesome! Sincerely, Bob Martens http://bobmartens.net @boblmartens

Hey guys,
I spent some time working on a simple animation for all the intro work for 42. This would cover the list of items that Douglas mentioned before. This is a concept. I wanted to make sure that in the video focus on the spacing, movement, simplicity. There are plenty of things that can be edited. Although this is a video, I am offering this as an idea as I ask that if you like it, help implement it.
I like it.
I like it too I also like it, I think that is great.
But, in the spirit of honest critique I'm now going to list a bunch of thoughts
On the Grub/Menu screen - I like the 'sideways' design, logo on the left, menu on the right. It's easy to do in grub2 (as proven by 12.3/13.1) but I'm not sure how viable that design is for ISOLINUX (the menu used on the DVD) - I want to try and get that as close as possible to this concept though, I like it.
I like the fact the openSUSE logo is there (though the circle around the eye and the pupil should be transparent, not white-filled) Here is also where I have my main point of criticism, mind the pun but the white eye is a fair bit of a eyesore that stands out far to much
I'm not sold on the 'divider' made out of many hexagons - it works in the video, but on different resolution screens I can see it looking very messy. I think a straight line will work better
I like the colours all seem to match the openSUSE brand guidelines - http://opensuse.github.io/branding-guidelines/
I like the chosen palette, especially the dark background, though I'd want to experiment with different colours in different places. I'm not sure the green openSUSE logo 'works'.. I'm thinking maybe having the logo in white but having the vertical divider provide the splash of green we need.
The transition of the logo from left to centre - LOOKS AWESOME - but is technically impossible, sorry - However, if we use the 'big pop-up' with kernel loading messages in Grub (like we currently do), we can hide the Grub menu and when Plymouth starts it will have the same colour background..so, it'll still look 'good', just not a good as this video
- Bootloader/Plymouth
I love the simple logo with a hexagon based progress bar
I'd prefer to see the logo be the _Distribution_ logo (Tumbleweed or Leap), not the openSUSE logo - the Bootloader has already shown the user they're using openSUSE, I'd like the bootloader to be the first chance for them to see _which_ openSUSE distribution they're using
The progress bar concept is awesome, I love it, please, someone learn how to do that in plymouth!

- SDDM Looks like a great concept to me, I cant comment on it's viability as I know nothing about SDDM theeming - maybe best to reach out to the KDE team on that one I think that the background that fades in here would also work really well as the default wallpaper (without the logo) from a enlightenment perspective i could make the theme fit that pretty easily (could you upload a copy somewhere so that I can have a play?
