[ubuntu-studio-devel] New GRUB Theme! And, progress reports anyone?

[erich at ericheickmeyer.com]

Hi all,

Today I spent a little time and made a theme for our GRUB bootloader! I
forked it from the one in Ubuntu MATE (grub2-themes-ubuntu-mate) and
created grub2-themes-ubuntustudio. In order to make it work, I had to
create a file and update our plymouth theme package in ubuntustudio-
look. Both grub2-themes-ubuntustudio and the updated plymouth theme are
in our Autobuilds PPA.

Let me know what you think!

One thing I was noticing was that our plymouth theme could really use
some love. Unfortunately, in my hacking-about today, I was unable to do
anything with it as I don't quite understand how to do it. So, if
anyone would like to take a crack at it, that'd be nice.

Anyhow, looks like the new GRUB theme, if it works well, would be my
first major package contribution to Ubuntu! Kinda nice to be able to
come up with something like that just after being made an official
Ubuntu member!

While we're at it, would anybody be able to tell me what they're
working on? I know that Len had been working on refining -controls and
bringing WACOM configuration to it as well. I also know Ross has been
working on getting our seed converted to GIT. I have no idea what
anybody else has been working on.

I, for one, have been working on getting Carla into Ubuntu, and I'm
working with FalkTX on getting the WINE bridges to compile, which has
been a pain.

Anyhow, thought I'd touch-base and see how everything was going.

Thanks,
Erich
