Linux Mint: Re-Imagined

[sarahmarienc]

Good job Tim. Lots of great ideas coming out around here

timh, those are some really great grub splash screens! Could you post how to install these in Elyssa and Felicia? How did you ever get the screen shots? Thanks for making these, this is the fist time I can remember seeing grub splash screens posted in the forum. Thanks for creating these!

Thank you very much
If you know its simple - only a little work. I'm right now running Felicia and I use virtualbox and install another Felicia.
Then with the nice Gnome - Tool from my panel I took screen-pictures.
To install in ‘Elissay’ the most easy way is to make the directory GRUB in ETC

Code: Select all

sudo mkdir /etc/grub

then you copy all nice boot-screens you can get into this directory

Code: Select all

sudo copy /path/where/you/download/jernaulogo-tim.message /etc/grub/

in the file /boot/grub/menu.lst you change [in ‘Elyssa’ and ‘Felicia’ you will find]
the line to :::
gfxmenu=/grub/jernaulogo-tim.message
If you like another screen you only change the filename here

Backup always good idea :::

Code: Select all

sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst-backup

to change :::

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

I'm happy you like my stuff but the most work did jernau. He make so nice wallpapers.
Zwopper also [the transparent one and the stripes!] and there are a lot more. [I use gWallpapers to change my every 10 min. ]

cordial saludos
Tim (and sorry for my english I'm a “Kraut” ]

timh, thanks for posting how to use these! I should have figured you used virtualbox. I really appreciate all of your efforts! Thank you very much!

I LOVE the earth one, very professional! Then again i would expect any less *grumbles about his chances in wotm this month*

Very nice work timh
I noticed you use gwallpapers also. That's a cool program, especially if you're constantly changing wallpapers like me.

I think you might be pleasantly surprised about how well your Minty Christmas does in the WOTM.

Clem still hasn't said anything about the 're-imagining' or the new logo, which I'm taking to be a sign that he's not convinced. Well, I may be biased, but I continue to believe that the mint leaf logo has potential... and I don't want to give up on it just yet, so...

Logo v2:


In use:



What do people think?

[tawan]

it is an improvement on the typography. I think you are right to keep polishing - it's all excellent though

You and sputty01 (plus others) have left me no choice but to have an automatic desktop changer as choosing 1 desktop picture is now impossible.

Thanks phonicboom.

Anyone who wants to use version 2 in their own work, can click on this preview to grab a high-resolution, transparent version:

Here's how version 2 would look on DistroWatch:

It's such a nice logo, I hope we will get it or I change it for myself
Thanksalot

I think, jernau, that your mint leaf is a perfect logo for this distro.

I have copied the wallpapers and logo.

For the moment we have no answer from Clem (or have i missing something?), how much he like or hate the new/other Logo, so i ask you, have you send him already a e-mail?? or a e-mail to Husse? if it his important Husse will send the message to the private mail from Clem.

Jernau,

Which theme you recommend with that black beauty that you created?

Thanks and Happy Holidays

Thanks for all the nice comments.

I emailed Clem about my Linux Mint 6 proposal in November, but unfortunately I haven't received a reply (presumably because he's been busy moving house / preparing Felicia).

I'm a little surprised that Clem hasn't at least dropped by this thread with a comment; especially because most of the new wallpapers are being created with a variation of the new logo (i.e. we could all be wasting effort if there's no plan to switch).

I'm a big fan of the Emerald theme Radial.

Aw, I'm sad to see this thread died out. I love the leaf logo. It really makes the "from freedom came elegance" make sense. I like the current logo (except for the shaded line), but I really think the leaf is classy. Even if nothing comes of it, great job.
