I will check how creative a plymouth theme with this idea can be.
Any animation is a script. (Not sure where to look for scripts though)
Well, currently the Plymouth theme is just one script with a number of graphical files. The 12.2 theme has a background, logo and then the white dot that moves around the screen. So one script and three graphical files. The script controls the theme and describes what should be done at what time. There are quite some examples around on diverse websites that has some nice plymouth themes. I also just combined some examples together into the 12.2 Plymouth theme.
Also, with a tail, there is no much of animation choices that are not very complicated as scripts. It is probably easier to use whole Geeko. For instance:
* Geeko running over the screen. It requires few fixed size sprites. * use small Geeko as a slider on a normal progress bar, or * use bigger that will have tail where it comes slider.
Don't use sliders or progress bars. I had that with the initial 12.2 theme and there is showed that during shutdown the progress bar is not that accurate and you might end up with only a half-filled progress bar and the boot process is ready.
The point of my previous email was not to replace wine with tail, but to base whole design on growing wine. We have so many Geekos used all over the place that we can skip it here without anyone noticing that :)
My advice here would be to keep things simple and elegant. Regards Raymond -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org
