Seamless is supposed to be the transition from GDM to the GNOME desktop, yet another reason to remove the GNOME splash... but I also don't know about KDE. Seamless *boot* would be if also Plymouth would use the same background image as GDM and the Desktop (with a progress animation), which I understand is *not* the case. And also seamless boot would be if we would use GRUB2 with the same background image as Plymouth/GDM/Desktop, which is also not the case (but we have the bits to make it possible). Ah, I forgot: also the screen not flickering when transitioning from one of those steps to another. -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com Cool Fedora wallpapers: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/wallpapers/ Open Clip Art Library: http://www.openclipart.org my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

I think we have at last one mode change, from GRUB to Plymouth (that is, on supported cards). The way I understand this, is that there actually is a change from text (in end Grub uses the same graphics capabilities as the BIOS) to the kernel mode setting when the kernel loads (and before the rest of the services start), currently in any Fedora release you can somewhat see this transition if you set a VGA accelerated mode as a command line argument (such as vga=791 in F1 - F8 or vga=823 in F9, which causes the kernel to use a framebuffer of 1024x768 in size at 16-bit color depth), there is a brief print-out of the GRUB arguments for the selected while the kernel loads before you are presented with the graphics (the penguin(s) at the top-left corner) and smoother letters, bigger size, etc. I'm not all that familiar with GRUB2 and if would require the same kind of drivers as the mode setting feature of the kernel. My guess would be it wouldn't since it'd be running prior any kernel (and hence drivers) are loaded, so it may very well rely only on the VESA capabilities of the cards, but again, I don't know for certain...

Another Solar Update remaining F10 release tasks (volunteers needed!)
Hi team, I spent about 12 hours today going through most of the Solar artwork and updating it to use the new, cleaned XCF source. I also created some additional wallpaper artwork so we can support dual 1600x1200 monitors as well as a larger 5:4 ratio resolution. The only artwork left to be modified is: - the KDE Login screen. I don't know much about KDE login theming; Samuele you may need to update the artwork in your mockup - I think Stalwart was going to write the theme based on that artwork. (Any status updates on the KDE login theme?) - the release poster - I think this still needs modification and also as mentioned earlier on the list, I think the content should be vetted by the marketing team. It would be good if it had a space for people to write out time / date / location for release parties. Low-priority at this point though, it's really the last task to get done before release day. Now that we have a solid set of clean artwork to work with, we have the following items outstanding: = WEB BANNERS = - countdown banner (200x100px) (this is the banner that counts down the days until the release date. Some examples [1,2]) we need a volunteer! - final release small banner (200x100px) (Ian, can you adjust the beta banner [3] so we can use it for this as well?) - final release full-size banner (600x200px) we need a volunteer! An example is [4] = DISC / MEDIA ART = - we should probably go with the simple design for the disc itself as we did for Fedora 9. I'll take on the task of updating the artwork so it says Fedora 10 instead of 9. - we need a sleeve design for Fedora 10. The disc will come in a cardboard sleeve. Any takers? (Ryan, yours came out great for Fedora 9, *hint hint* *wink wink*) = EXTRAS = I don't think these are 100% necessary, but if you'd like to take a stab at them please feel free: - screensaver lock dialog - gnome splash - kde splash I think that's about it. If there's any extras you'd like to take on let us know!
