Started to make a nitro-sources gensplash theme, mainly out of boredom, as a nitro sources addict ;)

ebuild can be found here
http://www.whatinlife.be/linux/nitro-theme-0.1.ebuild

Currently only 1024x768 "works" and no progress bar yet.

Hope you all like it.

P.S. Don't be too hard on me, I hardly do this kind of stuff so...

Error in the ebuild,
Code:

SRC_URI="http://www.whatinlife.be/linux/sources/${PN}/${MY_P}-${MY_REV}.tar.bz2"

should be
Code:

SRC_URI="http://www.whatinlife.be/linux/sources/${PN}/${MY_P}.tar.bz2"


Will try and tell you ;)

PS: would you pls change the ebuild header to $HEADER: $ ?
this is no official gentoo ebuild as i assume.... :S

EDIT: the ebuild was broken anyway ;)

this works pretty good:

Code:

Ok, i added a progressbar and resized the textbox, shaded the background and added border....
Only for the 1024x768 resolution tho.... ;)
look here:
1024x768.cfg wrote:

# fgcolor is the text forground color.
# bgcolor is the text background (i.e. transparent) color.
bgcolor=0

# (tx, ty) are the (x, y) coordinates of the text window in pixels.
# tw/th is the width/height of the text window in pixels.
tx=14
ty=14
tw=996
th=645

# name of the picture file (full path recommended)
# @XmN: i have changed the names of images, this way
# it's more intuitive ;)

Oh, and welcome to the unsupported ghetto :twisted:

Thx.

I'll put it on my webspace and work on from this to other resolutions.
About the background, I thought just the same thing :D

Hm... If I sniff a line of coke I may like it. So I'll have a second view on it at the weekend. :wink:
Okay I don't want to review somebody, so I just wanna say that I had this idea months ago, but I stopt working on it cause fbsplash crashed. Since than I never tried again finishing this little project. Maybe I'll do it in some weeks...

Anyway respect for your work!

If you sniff coke you might even like Dutch beer so that says nothing.
I told you I hardly do stuff like this, meaning graphic stuff and ebuilds.
Thx for the respect, gladly appreciated.

In other news I updated the theme, thx to Tiger :D.
Still only 1024x768 only, progress bar working and very nice (TY TY TY Tiger).

Enjoy, and Tiger I hope you like the blue :)

Hi,

have you guys taken a look at the livecd-2005.x themes? Progress bars are cool, but boot icons seem to be the state of the art.

Of course I have. I have this to go with my gentoo-sources kernel, which i use on my laptop when I cannot plug it in ;)
I'm not thinking of doing boot icons. Not yet anyhow, maybe if ppl start screaming for it :D

BTW did you install the Nitro splash theme? And if you did, do you like it? :)

just installed it and it works.

here's a screenshot of a splash console with midnight commander.
http://home.arcor.de/peter_a_wagner/files/nitro.png

I'm with nitro sources since 2.6.9. I really like them because they're fast and reliable. And they are always up to date. It is a good idea to give nitro sources their own look by means of a splash theme. And the theme should tell that nitro sources are "on top" of the development. It should somehow reflect the mentioned reliabilty and speed.

Sorry to say - the current theme looks a bit amateurish.

That's because I am an amateur :D

XmN: could you make scaled images for other common resolutions?

I'll work on 1280x1024, 1400x1050, 1280x960 and 800x600.

That ok? Thx again Tiger

EDIT:

Just got back from a holiday in Turkey. Was very nice. Got some exams to redo soon.
That's why I didn't do the resolutions yet and why they probably will not be ready very soon. Sorry about that.
