I'd love to see a better looking boot for boot with CD. At the GPA all computers need a CD, so we never see a pretty boot screen.<div><br></div><div>Please cross post ideas about design to the Marketing mailing list for more feedback.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'd love to see it be easy for schools to co-brand their boot screens.</div><div><br></div><div>One of the things that helps technology scale is schools is having them feel ownership. Our mission will be successful if school don't say The Sugar Labs system, but if they say "Our computer system". This may feel in conflict with the desire to spread and control the Sugar Labs brand, but I don't think it has to be. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Furthermore Customizability is one of the core Principals of the Sugar on a Stick project. Their school name and logo is a key customization for our users.</div><div><br></div><div>I would love for us to create a design that is easily modified and co-branded by the school, giving that immediate sense of ownership but doing it in a Sugar style. So how's that for a design challenge.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Meanwhile I'll be grateful for some nice blue swirls that hide the text. :)</div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div><div>Caroline</div><div><br></div><div>If you'd like to learn more about "moving beyond Brand to Co-Ownership: <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/education/demos/scale/index.html">http://www.microsoft.com/education/demos/scale/index.html</a></div>

<div><br></div><div>As a stop gap to a more complete solution (can we use gdm?), I suggest changing some of the splash images away from the blue swirl to something more as consistent with the OLPC startup sequence as possible. That would mean modifying /EFI/boot/splash.jpg and /EFI/boot/splash.xpm.gz and <del>the GRUB menu settings</del> <span style="background-color:rgb(51, 255, 255)">isolinux.cfg</span> so that the menu can be read.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Am happy to supply draft images & suggested config settings if there's interest.</div><div><br></div><div>If there is no interest to change the boot setup, then we should close the ticket.</div>
