TUX Ubuntu Boot Splash ====================== Copyright © 2007 Dennis Schulmeister Copyright © 2006 Dennis Kaarsemaker Tired of the stock Ubuntu boot splash? Than try this one out. This boot splash will give you a nice looking Tux penguin on a white background together with a nice writing reading "Ubuntu Linux" which changes its color as the boot sequence progresses. This boot splash is an adapted version of Dennis Kaarsemaker's wonderful EFT example boot splash. You could say 98% of the code is his. All I did was to replace the graphics and tweak the code to make them work. In order to compile simply run #make. Than use a tool like StartUp-Manager to switch the boot splash. You'll need the following packages for compiling: * libc6 * libgd2-xpm * libpng12-0 * libusplash0 All grpahics were created with THE GIMP and than converted to PNG files. The gimp files are included for your tweaking pleasure. When you're done please make sure that all grpahics share the same 8-bit color palette. You also might need to adapt the source code to find the correct background and foreground colors. For a comprehensive reading about what's possible with usplash make sure to read the readme file and the source code of Dennis Kaarsemaker's libusplash-dev package. Finaly feel free to drop me a message. 2007, Dennis Schulmeister
