Re: Fwd: Re: Pretty System Consoles

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

I did this proposal: http://www.kalpe.com/ubuntu/usplash.gif

If someone finds it interesting, It uses actually very few colors, but I guess these aren't the colors of the palette, I don't have the knowledge, maybe a more experienced user could help-me?

Thanks

Hello,

Afaik, bootsplash for bootsplash.org is a quiet ugly patch that include
a lot of graphical stuff (jpeg decompression, ttf support, etc.) in the
kernel.

Something possible would a text terminal emulator that execute login and
use svga or similar to draw a themed terminal.
    

As I am the co-author of the bootsplash, I will agree :p

The reason for using the usplash is that it works on almost all computers
whereas the bootsplash will revert to the console when anything fails, which
happens a lot on newer computers (intel chips are a real problem).

I am pretty uncertain as to whether the usplash can/will be made to do more
colors for edgy, so I would not hold my breath on that.

Bye,
Ken
