I have to disagree with you. Here's revision 1 of usplash-theme.h from the svn/bzr and it has always used short integers for palette index values. I looked at your source for 1.9 you posted above, and couldn't find where you changed anything to a long integer. Am I missing something here or did you rewrite the low-end usplash code?
Rev 1 of usplash-theme.h

I did notice that you've used some of the paletting/appending concepts we've whipped up but they still aren't perfect. I opened up the various resolutions in GIMP and checked, and they all have a different number of colors and do not share the same palette across all images. When converting, appending, and cropping the images use the -depth 8 and -colors 256 options also. Sorry, but I figured this out after I posted my last code.
examples:
Code: Select all
convert usplash/usplash.png -resize "800X600!" -quality 100 -strip -colors 256 -depth 8 usplash/tmp_800_600.png


Code: Select all
convert usplash/tmp_600_400.png usplash/tmp_640_480.png usplash/tmp_800_600.png usplash/tmp_1024_768.png usplash/tmp_1152_864.png usplash/tmp_1280_1024.png usplash/tmp_1600_1200.png usplash/tmp_1920_1440.png usplash/throbber_back.png usplash/throbber_fore.png -append +dither -colors 256 -depth 8 usplash/pal.png


Code: Select all
convert usplash/pal.png -crop 800x600+0+880! -depth 8 usplash/usplash_800_600.png

Since your splash images are grayscale colors, you wont really notice any problems, but if you used an image with lots of reds/greens/blues/etc, you would notice inconsistencies with the colors when it comes to text and such, since each different resolution would have a different color at index 251 for example, and or it's very possible that index 251 just doesn't exist in that resolution.


Back to the Hex color bug. Trust me, I just tested your usplash for 1.9 and it's borked. Don't use hex values, use short ints(0-255), as an 8-bit image cannot have more than 256 colors. To prove it to you, copy your usplash to the /usr/lib/usplash directory and then test with this script. I can guarantee you that about halfway through the scrolling verbose text, it will start randomly changing colors.

Ignore the fact that [FAILED] wont print out fully, thats just because your .status_width = 35,

Please don't let another Ultimate Usplash be borked upon release :P

As far as a GUI/GTK usplash maker, don't worry about it too much, I'm planning on doing a GTK/python for usplashmagick, and I can almost guarantee you are going to be the first person I want testing it :) ...I just need to find time myself to get it done.


I have not had the chance to test your theory, but I have seen the colors change when I remove quiet from grub, so I would say you are probably correct... using vga=868 (widescreen) in my grub also works but doesn't it pushes my progress bar to the right but oddly enough my text is centered and maintains color of a dark brown. The wallpaper or what ever you want to call it is also pressed off the left side of my screen.

Looking further into this I discovered, even though my monitor supports widescreen resolutions up to 1680 x 1050, my xorg log reports that my video card does not support a frame buffered resolution greater then 1280 X 1024 and reports resolutions greater then that as a "future enhancement".

The usplashes as long as textmode is not used in my opinion are flawless. We strive for perfection given time I will look into this. Any software you wish for me to test I'm down with it. It would be easy to write a python based app to call os.popen for all image conversions, probably not that difficult to hook it to stdout and get progress... After I get done building Ultimate Edition 1.9 X86, I may have some free time too look into it further, maybe write software to get it done, I just hate messing with glade...

9 1/2 hrs to upload Ultimate Edition 1.9 x86, I have some time ;)

update-initramfs -u

esac


this drops the Ultimate Edition 1.9 usplash set during installation.

the end user would have a deb they could install and will automatically set the usplash as the current usplash, no hassles no startupmanager etc. I have big plans for it... Preview dragable progress bar, perhaps later custom progress bars, x and y coordinates set by the user dragging a bar, 0 knowledge required by the end user. at first I am going to stick with zenity as it compiles etc. Eventually full blown python.

Wow, now that I think about it I can leave my terminal.py portion of ultamatix to let them see conversion / compilation etc. and use the progress bar at the top to show overall progress... x amount of steps divided by current step...

It will be a long time before we have a release believe that.

Re: Usplash Maker

Postby red_team316 » Thu Aug 21, 2008 10:56 pm

Ah I see you edited you post and have screenies now:) looks nice.

A few questions:

1) The 1440x900 resolution. Have you tested this on your box and can confirm it works?
The usplash README(unpresent in your source) says to scale 16:9 images to 4:3 and I noticed that yours aren't.
I've got a DELL2407WFPHC w/ max 1920x1200 res. I tried making a 1920x1200 but can't get it to work leaving it scaled or not. Maybe I'm running into the same problem as you with my max framebuffered resolution.

2) Since you're planning on using zenity, I take it that the TUM will be a separate script for the GUI, instead of like previous TUM's where all the code was in 1 file? I'm wondering cause this would be beneficial to keep the GUI separate. I think it would be good as most of the code I've got laying around is in separate files, and adding some vars to them would be a piece of cake, then all you should have to do is call them from the main GUI script.

3) My intention on doing a glade came about because I needed a way to display the palette indexes like GIMP can so it's foolproof to the user who doesn't know jack about GIMP or images in general. Just pick a color and it sets the corresponding color in the code. The idea is to fill an image with a gtk.gdk.pixbuf. I know exactly how to set the colors in code, the problem is getting grep or something else to parse the colors from a text file. You're pretty handy with the terminal. Maybe you can give me pointers on how I would do this. Right now, my priority is to get working code together so that a GUI has something to use. See example text file created by the identify command below. I need to extract the hex colormaps one by one, but I'm a fool with grep.

EDIT: hmm got it to strip out the important palette info into a separate file.
Code: Select all
cd usplash
rm -f palgrep.txt
grep "Colormap" --after-context=256 palinfo_800_600.txt >> palgrep.txt
cd ..

...now the hard part, how would I get the hex colors from palgrep...I have a feeling it's going to be something insane like using a regular expression....hmm

I'm guessing you were drunk when you posted that lol.

See the attached file below.
I'm pretty sure that it is the final version of my paletting work. I've tested it and it works great. If you can somehow find a bug, let me know :) If you use this, it should convert/append/palette/crop all of the images correctly.

Example Usage: Example usage: /bin/bash usplashmagick-prepareimages 640x480 800x600 1280x1024 1600x1200

You can use any resolutions that you want, even something crazy like 1234x4321, but obviously nobody has a monitor that can do that :P

I've still got to figure out the grep crap...:(
Other than that, I will be doing dynamic usplash-theme.c and Makefiles very similar to the attached script. That way they can all be fed the same info and work nicely with each other.

Re: Usplash Maker

Postby darkmaster » Sun Aug 24, 2008 2:44 am

Hallo everyone, this is my first post, I'm Luca D.M., from OpenGEU. I have no ability of creating an usplash theme on my own, so I had to use TUM, but it didn't work in Hardy, Gutsy, Ultimate based on Hardy.... at the end I downloaded Ultimate based on Feisty, loaded it as Live CD and used the script there.. it half worked... meaning that I had two png pictures, moon.png and sun.png but when I used the script on them, a nameless .so file was created everytime. This was not a problem afterall, I just renamed it but..

When I install those themes I created, they seem to work and load fine but if I call Usplash Switcher, it shows me no preview of those themes and trying to click on the preview button results in Usplash Switcher telling me they are not valid themes... please help, I use Usplash Switcher in my distro, people is used to it, I cannot show people the work in this shameful state :(

If you can guess what the problem is, than go on and tell me, I'll fix it... but if you have no clue, I'm also happy if a volunteer shows up and PVM me with his mail, so that I can send him the 2 pictures for the theme and he can create for me 100% working usplash themes, that's what I need in the end... :(

Sorry for asking for help this badly guys but I really need help right now :(
Of course, please help me only if you know that for you the TUM works 100% well and if you are going to test the results before sending 'em to me ;)

Thank you everyone in advance, I hope someone will be able to help. Bye,

Luca

Luca,
If you can't get the older TUM scripts working on your box, you are going to have to make it manually as the new TUM is a WIP. Try only using 1 image in tum at a time(i.e. moon.png) and see how that works

Here's how to make one manually:
Run: sudo apt-get install make gcc libbogl-dev libusplash-dev
Download TheeMahn's Ultimate Edition 1.9 Usplash Source and my usplashmagick.tar.gz from my previous post.
Extract them onto your system somewhere.
Replace the images in usplashmagick/usplash folder with your preferred images(just make sure the throbbers are the same size for now 216x8)
run /bin/bash usplashmagick-prepareimages 640x400 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 1365x768 1440x900
Once the images are generated copy them to the ultimate 1.9 usplash folder and replace and rename them to TheeMahn's naming scheme(my bg images have x's and his have _'s, also he's got a ton of throbber images).
Once you have all the images replaced/renamed in the ultimate 1.9 folder, open a terminal in that folder and type: make
That should create your .so file correctly. Once that is done, then load it into usplash switcher.

You can test the usplash yourself by doing: sudo usplash -c -x 800 -y 600
...or you can use the usplashmagick-test bash script I posted above.

As long as your running your usplash with quiet/non-verbose it should be fine.

EDIT: hmm come to think of it, you really need to mess with the c code if you want a perfect usplash since I know for a fact that the text offsets in the eft-theme.c example in /usr/share/doc/libusplash-dev/examples are in the wrong position. It looks like TheeMahn fixed his right but you're stuck with his position choice. You should only see the text when around every 40th time you boot, it decides to fsck one of your partitions...

TheeMahn:
update- I did figure out how to get the individual palette indexes so they can be used in a GUI. I found some great info on string splitting without awk and it works wonders. I'm suprised I couldn't find any info on it in other bash references.
Makefile creator script is also done.
Now all I need to do is finish the dynamic theme creator script that takes into account(resolutions, palette indexes, text position, and animation type)
Other than that, tidy up my install/test scripts to work with the finalized code...

Just torrented 1.9 and now seeding...I'll install it later this week ;)

Funny how you think that way, is my #1 priority to write a usplash maker? I just told my ol lady I wish she has gone down on me as many times as this site as has this eve ;) BTW I feel it is my job to tell you this site sees the lowest amount of traffic of all sites I own (I own 8). As I have said in the past this is the bottom of the barrel, time permitting. I grant you It has not been done correctly & yes I can make it happen, take the time and search usplash maker in google where are they coming? This is the tip of the iceburg. I want you to see this for what it truly is I am 1 man, do you have any clue what I have written?

Well since this is a small view thread I provide facts, this btw once installed is over 700MB & nothing but eyecandy, I am sure you will appreciate what I did to make that happen, I now provide source:

That is in the deb... Do you think I should write a USplash maker? Yes I should (only because it does not exist), but it will be at my convenience.


I see an error do you?

Sorry if I offended you, but that was the most random post I've ever seen you post, plus it didn't make much sense and was a run-on. I'm certainly not here to bash you or anything. I know writing a usplash maker isn't your top priority, and it isn't mine either. I would consider us both pretty knowledgable on how to make a usplash and we've been kicking little pieces of code back and forth for quite some time now. We'll I've got a nice portion of code done already and figure letting you know what progresses I've made in different areas might help expedite the creation of one. Yes, you are 1 man, and I am too, so that makes 2 of us, as long as we can work together toward the goal, regardless of time schedule. That might give you a little more time to spend with your ol lady and and still know that at least RT is out there somewhere lessening the load.


There error in your code is at -remove. There is also an error in my code I posted above although it isn't major, I did find one. Nobody is perfect ;)

I do see the advantage in your tons of throbbers when it comes to variable themes depending on resolution.
I have seen plenty of your work. Not GDM Maker yet as thats a very low priority for me. Not Ultimatix yet until 1.8.0-4 but when I do, I'll be sure to dive into the code and dissect whats going on beneath the hood.

Brother, perhaps we got off on the wrong foot. Eventually I will write a screen to allow the end user to drag and position the progress bar. It is in its simple stage (I added the ability to build GDM's as well). When I have time I will re-approach the situation.

Imagemagick has been giving me crap btw... You will be the only beta tester on this project, I hope you can see the weight on your shoulders.

If you want to write it (I can give you the source of what I have currently written), by all means I will host it, believe it no shortage of traffic.

Yea, post a link, email, PM or whatever is easiest for you. Not only may it help me understand zenity better I'm curious as to how that would also tie into a preview window, thats something I thought would be a great feature. I know there is a way to do it with imagemagick...maybe I need to look into that as my original thought was to have the GUI do it(the gtk.gdk.pixbuf from one of my earlier posts). Not only would having imagemagick do it be another option, it wouldn't tie it to any particular GUI which would be preferable.

So you combined TUM and GDM maker...whats that make...GUM (GDM/Usplash Maker)? :P

OT: I like your new av, saw your post about the animation plugin. Kinda looks like it takes a graphic and wraps it around a 3D primative(I would figure it does cubes and other shapes too).
