Description: This is a nice tropical island style Linux bootsplash that I made from some vacation photography. It depends on bootsplash >= 3.x (comes with suse 9.2). Installation is generally easy but animations require a slight modification of your SuSE boot scripts (see readme file).
I've now added the 1280x1024 resolution along with the original 1024x768. I didn't test this though because I don't feel like messing with my framebuffer settings. So please let me know if it doesn't work properly. As for a non-suse version release, I'll make the gimp xcf.bz2 file for the non-silent picture available later to someone who wants to spawn their own modification of this theme (in the xcf, the suse logo just another optional layer).Last changelog:
1.0 First release 1.1 Added 1280x1024 resolution (untested)
it looks wonderful on the laptop at that resolution. I can't get silent version to work using kbootsplash and I don't know if I'm comfortable enough to edit things I don't know that much about. Verbose still looks nice. A 1280x1024 pic would look better on the pc.
It's generally easy to get the animations working (because I did alot of the work for you). Just back up your /etc/init.d/boot and /etc/init.d/rc files before adding the lines to them (generally if you're not removing lines, then you aren't screwing anything up).
Details are in the readme file.
The 1280x1024 didn't work. thought maybe I did something wrong, then remembered "untested" and switched to 1024x768. Hey that's cool! the screen was a little off center but the effect made up for it.
Can you tell me exactly why the 1280x1024 didn't work. Like what went wrong and how. Also, which mode is off center and when you say off center do you mean the animations are or the whole background? I haven't noticed any problems in 1024x768 mode.
It's a nice image for this cold dark February. Any way to get a slackware package, or a version of it for a generic bootsplash?
Maybe it will work with a generic (non-Suse) bootsplash?
I don't know.
Everything will work on a generic bootsplash (3.x or greater) installation except the animations, which strictly rely on suse >= 9 (and possibly only 9.2) boot scripts.
