Hi all,
In order to help get 13.2 out the door I would like to ask everyone to help make a list of graphics-related items which are still outstanding for 13.2. If I am such a n00b that I've missed this list somewhere else, please excuse me (in advance).
I'll start with my items and ask for everyone to simply reply to this email with theirs and any information necessary around the item.
1) Fix bugs in the installer: - There are several open bugs concerning the installer theme that I started working on. Our team will work on these bugs so that they are fixed in time for the release. 2) Update the countdown banners to match the graphics of the desktop - In the past the banners always used the current desktop background. https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Countdown shows the current stuff but our team would like to take a whack at making something that fits to the desktop design of 13.2 itself.
I would like to share my idea for countdown (unfortunately just one at the moment but if I think of something more I will share). I used same "principle" and colors but not same shapes, I simply didn't like how it looks with same shapes like wallpaper.
Damn, I was guessing it would work :-)
http://paste.opensuse.org/72958954 ...this is not good enough. I will try some more option, maybe we get better results ;)
I see that you use code which runs countdown, since I don't know how to use it I included just simple text in files to have preview.
This is my starting point, made it in illustrator
http://paste.opensuse.org/87626481 http://paste.opensuse.org/64631578
and tried to recreate in inkscape and this is result:
pngs: http://paste.opensuse.org/78913301 http://paste.opensuse.org/59760294
svgs: http://paste.opensuse.org/255653 http://paste.opensuse.org/79733916
only thing I was not able to achieve here is nice shadow which bland in same way like in illustrator. So all of you who know all inkscape secrets please share them with me :D
I'm not sure you're looking exactly that, but what about duplicating the layer make it a bit bigger and play with blur ?
And internet could help you like eventually

Thanks for sharing. I did try all of this but it still didn't give good results.
Suggestions and comments are welcomed.
Thanks, Zvezdana
If this is not needed or wanted that is not a problem for us, we'd like to spend time learning
about making banners and this seems like a good place to start.
3) Insert Your Item Here :-)
Thanks!
