Description Jakub Steiner 2008-03-31 20:13:18 UTC
The CD Welcome screen, the CD menu, the system boot (grub) menu all need to be 110 branded.
Comment 1 Jakub Steiner 2008-04-28 10:52:00 UTC
For the CD welcome screen, I've prepared the assets -- https://forgesvn1.novell.com/svn/opensuse-art/trunk/cdboot/parts/

Comment 2 Jakub Steiner 2008-05-17 07:50:48 UTC
grub assets --

Comment 3 Steffen Winterfeldt 2008-05-19 11:44:58 UTC
Do you have a version of grub/theme/background.png without the black stripe
and without 'startup options' I can use for cdboot?
Comment 4 Jakub Steiner 2008-05-19 15:08:28 UTC
Sure. Chopped it up for you -- https://forgesvn1.novell.com/svn/opensuse-art/trunk/grub/parts/
Comment 5 Jakub Steiner 2008-05-19 15:09:23 UTC
Oh my bad. cdboot!
Comment 7 Steffen Winterfeldt 2008-05-19 15:51:15 UTC
Thanks!

BTW, I've no idea how to animate the bright blob over the 'welcome' messages.
There's no scaling implemented, so I can't do growing things.
Comment 8 Jakub Steiner 2008-05-19 19:24:36 UTC
Alright, maybe just fading in the overlay 'spotlight' and then the text would work. I'll prepare the spotlight part for you, ok?
Comment 9 Steffen Winterfeldt 2008-05-20 09:12:10 UTC
yes, would be nice
Comment 10 Steffen Winterfeldt 2008-05-20 12:39:36 UTC
Just one thing: cdboot/parts/menu/background.png is noticeably smoother
than grub/theme/background.png. Is that intentional?
Comment 11 Jakub Steiner 2008-05-20 14:26:32 UTC
#10 I'm not exactly sure what you mean by smoother? the cdboot welcome screen background is flat, while the grub background has a gradient. Do you mean that the screen in the actual grub screen sufferes from color banding?
Comment 12 Jakub Steiner 2008-05-20 14:32:34 UTC
The spotlight part is at https://forgesvn1.novell.com/svn/opensuse-art/trunk/cdboot/parts/spotlight.png. If you think alpha compositing is too slow, I could also make the whole background a duplicate with the spotlight and you'd fade the whole thing in, but I'm not sure that would be faster.
Comment 13 Steffen Winterfeldt 2008-05-20 14:46:23 UTC
#11) Could be. What I meant is that, e.g., the ripples in the lower right
corner are more visible in the grub variant.
Comment 14 Steffen Winterfeldt 2008-06-09 13:15:14 UTC
I didn't have the time to get the spotlight part in. :-(
