(IOW, I spent a day doing research 2 months ago and forgot about it until yesterday.) It's currently possible to have a really awesome bootup, but it's quite a bit of work to configure and I want to make it trivially easy. I also share the opinion that we shouldn't go against upstream wishes IRT branding, but if upstream encourages some fairly subtle branding along with keeping their name visible, I'm for it. This will help us update our "look" to catch up with a lot of other distros I talk about in ideas.txt, found at [1], and make for an overall slicker and cooler Gentoo desktop. If anyone wants to help with design or turning stuff into working themes for bootsplash, *dm, grub/gfxboot, etc, please email me. I don't have time to do this by myself, and I've already talked to some people about this but there can never be enough. Any subsequent list discussions on this will occur on gentoo-desktop, but I expect much of the collaboration to happen on IRC. Thanks, Donnie 1. http://dev.gentoo.org/~spyderous/splash/ --------------enig71EF6E7D5D61F8EF6E0EE4F3 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFENc2+XVaO67S1rtsRAmZUAKD7axcVKu25iNWRPndv0xwWm6KguQCcCAWt +M8423QEsOJ1U8Hcs+2YY5M= =lBnn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig71EF6E7D5D61F8EF6E0EE4F3-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
