Re: [Sugar-devel] [IAEP] [SoaS] Request for Artwork: Boot Screen
Well, I'd like to do a mockup of my idea (tonight), post it to the wiki under Gary's, and have feedback from the Design Team about both The splash/progress page is a key moment of a Learner's interaction with Sugar, let's explore its possibilities before finalizing it thanks Sean On Sat, May 30, 2009 at 1:39 PM, Sebastian Dziallas sebast...@when.com wrote: Hi all, this is just great - thanks a lot for working on it so quickly! :) It looks really promising!

For now, I've just implemented the old Sugar logo again, but we might also want to have something more shiny (probably with a progress bar). Some form of progress indicator would be a useful addition. I'm not really that good at art and the Sugar logo thing there was at first nothing more than a quick hack, so it'd would be really great if someone could have a look and work on such a boot screen. I'm happy to give it a look/shot from
