Guest Gorgeus Posted October 28, 2002 Report Share Posted October 28, 2002 Once again, I'm looking for help. I have found draksplash on how to do themes. But how do I apply them. I also found the switch-theme script but can't figure out how to work it ? And what's this initrd all about ? On a sidenote, the progress bar doesn't work on logout, only if I go to X in between. Any ideas ? Thanks a lot for help. George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiedra Posted October 28, 2002 Report Share Posted October 28, 2002 I'll be assumming you are talking about the boot splash for kde. In a console, after untarring the theme, cd over to the directory that got created and do: cp * /home/username/.kde/share/apps/ksplash/pics For each file it prompts you to overwrite hit y.

Guest Gorgeus Posted October 28, 2002 Report Share Posted October 28, 2002 Thanks, but no. I'm talking about the screen at booting, before X starts. Don't know how describe it better. Georg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counterspy Posted October 28, 2002 Report Share Posted October 28, 2002 Look for a file called bootsplash. It is a selectable install in expert mode. I chose not to install it. Counterspy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qeldroma Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 The following files do the job (/usr/share/bootsplash): 1. detect-resolution This will only tell you, which resolution is configured for bootup right now. Interesting, if you got only a pic for ONE resolution and have to convert it. 2. make-boot-splash This "transports" the choosen theme to the actual login. Usage: "make-boot-splash NameOfTheme". 3. rewritejpeg The kernel only accepts a defined way of jpeg. This script converts a jpeg in kernel-readable. Usage: "rewirtejpeg nameOfJpg.jpg". 4. switch-themes Every "make-boot-splash"ed theme can be taken again with this script. Usage like the make script. Every theme has to be a directory under themes, that's the name this scripts will refer to. There (./pic) you can put every resolution you want. Under ./lilo you can put a new graphical message file, that's the picture for the bootchooser. But i don't know, how to create one. The bootsplashes are integrated in the initrd.img file, that's why you have to change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
