Bugzilla – Bug 149454
no boot loader theme
Last modified: 2006-03-21 10:24:20 UTC
We still don't have any decision on the boot loader theme. Anna, I'm assigning it to you as you did some coordination work. Feel free to involve the one who really has to do the work. :-)
https://svn.innerweb.novell.com/svn/pdes/branches/SUSE10.1/grub/ We have prepared this grub theme. Due to the severe filesize constraints, it is very hard to avoid seeing at least some nasty jpeg artifacts. Is this sufficient? Can you either provide assistance packaging this, or let us know definitively what package it should go into? Thanks! Anna
I will integrate it, don't worry. There are some issues, though: - How should 'startup options' work? Maybe you could make a sample with some options shown. - What is that footprint at the right end of the menu bar? - Any timeout counters?
"Startup Options" is a title of the whole menu screen. It is supposed to convey that the user is able to choose an operating system to boot. The "footprint" is not a foorprint, but a clock timer. Complete animation is available here: https://svn.innerweb.novell.com/svn/pdes/branches/SUSE10.1/grub/theme/timer.png. When the screen shows up, the timer shows a full circle and then loses "dots" clockwise.
Ah, thanks. Is there anything I should do with linuxrc.png?
Ping - should this still be open? Still assigned to me? Jimmac, did you address Steffen's question above about linuxrc.png?
linuxrc.png was meant for the cd bootup welcome message. The artwork now lives in https://svn.innerweb.novell.com/svn/pdes/branches/SUSE10.1/cdboot/ I'm not exactly sure how this isolinux thing works, but I've prepared these bits: pre-welsome.png - background for the welcome screen welcome.png - welcome screen after all the welcome messages show up menu.png - background for the installation type menu.
Ok, thanks. That's something to work with. I'll put it together after FOSDEM. Right now you can _tell_ me how you want it to work. If nobody speaks up it'll work similar to 10.0.
While this is an ideal rendition and I know things like that may not be possible, it's something to aim to be like: http://jimmac.musichall.cz/stuff/private/cdboot-mockup.avi
Thanks, I'll give it some thoughts.
Sorry, I just noticed the pictures are all 640x480. But I need them with 800x600. Could you please create larger versions? Thanks. (menu.xcf & welcome.xcf)
I couldn't find the NLD/SLES10 boot loader pictures (would be mustard colored, I guess). Again, I would need menu.xcf & welcome.xcf in 800x600.
hmm, bugzilla doesn't seem to mail me for some reason.
I'll add the 800x600 versions asap
The 800x600 artwork for SUSE Linux 10.1 is at: https://svn.innerweb.novell.com/svn/pdes/branches/SUSE10.1/cdboot/800/ CODE10.Desktop: https://svn.innerweb.novell.com/svn/pdes/branches/CODE10.Desktop/cdboot/800/ CODE10.Server: https://svn.innerweb.novell.com/svn/pdes/branches/CODE10.Server/cdboot/800/
Why is this assigned to me? Steffen, I am making this 'needinfo' for you right now. Is there stuff you still need from my team? If not, this bug should be reassigned/closed.
Sure. This can be closed.
