1.3. Splash, wallpapers and grub images
|
|
|
|
Wallpapers are provided in two svg variant, one standard aspect (4/3) and one
|
|
widescreen (16/9). You can switch from one another using the alternatives.
|
|
Using the same system you can select one of the older theme variant. Beware
|
|
that changing alternative means at the next package upgrade it won't be
|
|
automatically reverted to the default choice.
|
|
|
|
For wallpaper you can run:
|
|
|
|
sudo update-alternatives --config desktop-background
|
|
|
|
For splash screens you can run:
|
|
|
|
sudo update-alternatives --config desktop-splash
|
|
|
|
For grub, you can select standard or widescreen version too, using:
|
|
|
|
sudo update-alternatives --config desktop-grub
|
|
|

3. Changing desktop-base images
|
|
|
|
We need professional looking Debian artwork in the
|
|
Desktop. If you want to help changing some desktop-base
|
|
images, that would be good consider the following notes:
|
|
|
|
- The swirl Debian logo is red;
|
|
- The Debian font is Poppl Laudation Condensed (unfortunately,
|
|
commercial font)
|
|
- Blue (#5F92C9 and some others) fits with GNOME default
|
|
clearlooks theme that we use in your default desktop
|
|
environment and looks good in KDE too;
|
|
- Black and White are welcome colors too.
|
|
|
|
If you've suggestions for a better artwork, create or edit
|
|
the images and open a 'wishlist' bug against desktop-base in our
|
|
Bug Tracking System (http://bugs.debian.org/). Please attach the
|
|
'svg' or 'xcf' and don't violate copyright.
|
|
|
|
4. Window Managers
|
|
desktop-base is used by GNOME/KDE/Xfce.
|
|
|
|
If you're responsible for a WM in Debian and wants to use
|
|
desktop-base artwork or add your own image (wallpaper, splash,
|
|
whatever) use the layout described above and send your patch
|
|
through the Bug Tracking System to us.
|
|
|
|
5. Boot splash
|
|
|
|
desktop-base ships a plymouth theme. If you want to activate it, install
|
|
plymouth and run:
|
|
|
|
plymouth-set-default-theme joy
|
|
|
|
Then remember to add “splash” to your kernel command line.
