Description Máirín Duffy 2011-08-29 15:48:58 UTC
Let's update the syslinux theme for live media with the newer & cleaner design.

For Live media, this will involve updating imagecreate/live.py to generate the new theme values
( see
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=livecd;a=blob;f=imgcreate/live.py;h=6ad9c5b79626611df49a2b1769dff0f3092c5ae9;hb=HEAD around line 454) ... eventually it would be nice for this to have a templating system

I'll assign the bug to myself initially so I can create the template for you,
then I'll reassign to the default component owner.

Discussed at 2011-09-02 NTH review meeting. Accepted as NTH: it's a slightly dangerous change but we're confident we can test it, and the cosmetic benefit is significant.

screenshot of new syslinux config

The syslinux screen that shows up on new live media doesn't quite match the screenshots from this bug. Is that intentional?

I like the look of it, but the background that shows up makes it difficult to edit boot options with the white text on the white fedora logo.

I attached a screenshot of what I'm seeing with the F16 graphics test day i686 live image [1]

Comment 9 Brian Lane 2011-09-07 18:31:50 UTC
That will be fixed when the splash image is updated in fedora-logos.

Comment 10 Máirín Duffy 2011-09-08 13:44:20 UTC
Tim, I think spot updated the splash in the fedora-logos package yesterday, so hopefully that'll be readable soon.

Comment 12 Adam Williamson 2011-09-14 18:59:28 UTC
note that we should use 16.6 for the Beta, as 16.5 results in an incorrect background being used, AIUI.

Comment 13 Adam Williamson 2011-09-16 04:46:53 UTC
so, RC1 was a bit of a swing-and-a-miss: the bootloader background is plain black on all lives and the DVD.
