Position the logo during POST Firmware draws the OEM logo at POST and places the logo in a predetermined position. When Windows startup begins, the logo is kept in the video buffer. Desktops can detect the panel's native resolution by reading its EDID (Extended Display Identification Data).
To make the logo appear correctly across the entire sequence, POST needs to occur in the device's native resolution. This ensures that the logo is the size, shape, and location that you want, and that Windows requires. The logo should appear on the screen at a specific location to showcase the PC's brand. We recommend that the logo is placed with its center at 38.2% from the screen's top edge. This positioning is based on the golden ratio's visual aesthetics and matches the Windows 10 design proportions. This consistent positioning across all PCs running Windows 10 lets Windows place the progress ring in the correct location and ensures that the logo and ring are visually balanced. To further support this visual balance, we recommend that you limit the logo size to 40% of the screen's height and width. This ensures that the screen appears correctly, and that Windows can properly fade out the logo at the end of boot. We recommend that the logo's maximum area start at no more than 18.2% from the top of the screen. These design principles apply to both landscape and portrait devices. That's from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows- hardware/drivers/bringup/boot-screen-components Assuming that many consumer devices want to look good on Windows, and we have a known location for the spinner, imho we should be hiding the spinner and showing the password entry dialog there. And keeping the OEM Vendor logo on display. This should be consistent with the windows 10 guidelines and should look good with most vendors. Furthermore unbranded boot guidelines show space under the spinner for the Windows 10 boot status messages https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/customize/enterprise/unbranded-boot I wonder if we can reuse that layout to reliably look slick. It seems like the spinner theme uses the Vertical alignment offset reserved for the OEM logo, rather than for the OS boot messages. About confusion - well we could paint the background aubergine upon password entry, that will not be confusing, or like we can hide the oem vendor logo => but then not flickering it back on, after the disk unloack. But even then placing the password entry at 38.2% is unbalanced. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1867131 Title: spinner theme flickers OEM logo on password entry To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/1867131/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
