Hi all I'm writing to try to focus the energy that everyone is putting into getting a great usplash image for Dapper. I really appreciate the effort and the care and the creativity of the proposals. At this stage in the release process there is absolutely no way we can change the code or protocols associated with usplash, which means this effort needs to be SOLELY focused on getting a great image. We have to live with the constraints of the current usplash implementation for Dapper, and can reinvent and improve the technology in Edgy. Remember, the usplash has to look great on old POWERPC devices as well as Sparc and old PC's with dodgy video cards. We took the decision some time ago that working everywhere was more important than having high resolution and lots of colours. It's the mark of a great UI artist that (s)he can produce something that looks super despite challenging device constraints. I'm asking all the people who are working to improve the usplash NOT to waste time trying to change the code at this point - we are in deep deep freeze. Instead, to live within the constraints of usplash and propose images for testing which look as good as possible. Mark |
