Re: Fedora Infinity Update
I don't think RHGB is technically able to use a PNG as background, only a solid color, and with it going to die anyway (hopefully in F9), there is little reason to patch, otherwise, indeed, RHGB would look better with a textured background. Well i'm not counting on it to leave for F9.. And i looked over the c coding of splash.c and it can't be hard to patch it to use a image instead.. but a harder thing might be that the background needs to fit the screen so you need to check and see if the screen is widescreen or not and if it is place the background on that belongs with it. and for: I don't think RHGB is technically able to use a PNG as background not completely true.. if you look at splash.c you will notice that it's just gtk stuff that's being displayed as boot stuff.. so technically you can do anything in the background image.. it only requires patches ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Re: Fedora Infinity Update
Hey, With the last update round i got a new Fedora boot theme. Here is some feedback on that theme. First of all i like almost everything alot except the fedora logo itself. it somehow doesn't fit in the boot theme. Or the logo itself needs be be made a little more 3d? or with a little more effects in it. Overall a very good theme and i hope it's gonna stay this way till the Fedora 8 release. About the GDM theme. that one doesn't fit with the current boot theme. try to make that in the same style but i believe that's also being discussed in another artwork thread. Wonderful work so far.

Re: Fedora Infinity Update
And a idea for the boot theme as well as GDM and the desktop background. Why not set the same background image everywhere? that gives fedora a nice uniform look. and with everywhere i mean the boot progress (RHGB) background as well!! not just one default color. Than use the main-logo.png image for the login screen to get that uniform as well and than fedora 8 will really be the nicest release to date!! I would like to make this in Fedora if i knew the c language.. it can't be very difficult. It would also cool to animate those little start in the wallpaper.. and those stripes.. ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Re: Fedora Infinity Update
I put together in gimp some different colour variants of the fourth wallpaper, as I like that one most of all. The purple somehow reminds me of Christmas - not a good thing in the middle of summer :-D... So I made in inkscape two blue gradients (brigther and darker) and in gimp desaturated the original version and combined it variously with the gradients. The first one [1] I include only because I think there is some feeling in it, but it's not good for default Fedora wallpaper... Its too bright and has no trace of blue ;-) But it's somehow mystical... The second [2] is light blue and third [3] is darker blue. The dark one seems to look best on a desktop. Máirín, do you want me to do a screenshots of your wallpapers together with rawhide's default gnome theme? I don't run rawhide, but use the nodoka theme which was recently made rawhide's default and also have installed the rawhide's default icons (which are the same as in Fedora 7).

In a lot of ways that's what the chosen theme is about anyway. Taking people to new unknown places.
