I'm a newbie and I would like to use your splash screen. It's a .scf file.
How can I use it, please? Would you mind giving me more information, please?
thanks
Why are you classifying this as a mockup?
In the current state of Gnome, this is very well possible. Just use a .png file as your base, add an alpha layer and blur the final image.
You will get EXACTLY what you wanted. You should try it out though, 'cause I think it would look really nice.
I've done/used quite a few ARGB splash screens myself... And the best thing is (at least for me), compiz need not be installed for this to work since transparency is native in pngs!
hey hi. well i just the most un-geeky way. simple get the file download. i opened with gimp then i save it as .png. i use gnome-splashscreen-manager 0.2 which make it easier to load splash. well and finally i add to the splash manager, make it active and thats it!
any other help let me know. i will be more than glad to help with what i can.
peace
