Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I've got some back-burner work on unified Gentoo theming for grub, |
| 4 |
bootsplash, gdm/kdm [1]. (IOW, I spent a day doing research 2 months ago |
| 5 |
and forgot about it until yesterday.) It's currently possible to have a |
| 6 |
really awesome bootup, but it's quite a bit of work to configure and I |
| 7 |
want to make it trivially easy. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
I also share the opinion that we shouldn't go against upstream wishes |
| 10 |
IRT branding, but if upstream encourages some fairly subtle branding |
| 11 |
along with keeping their name visible, I'm for it. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
This will help us update our "look" to catch up with a lot of other |
| 14 |
distros I talk about in ideas.txt, found at [1], and make for an overall |
| 15 |
slicker and cooler Gentoo desktop. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
If anyone wants to help with design or turning stuff into working themes |
| 18 |
for bootsplash, *dm, grub/gfxboot, etc, please email me. I don't have |
| 19 |
time to do this by myself, and I've already talked to some people about |
| 20 |
this but there can never be enough. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Any subsequent list discussions on this will occur on gentoo-desktop, |
| 23 |
but I expect much of the collaboration to happen on IRC. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Thanks, |
| 26 |
