[Bug 795511] Re: No Plymouth boot screen to match the login screen

 

About the fadeout problem:

Why not make the background gray, like Apple does. Make the e-logo black
instead and put it into the center. The black logo could then fade into
the gray and what is left until the PC is off is a gray screen. Apple
uses a spinner during shutdown though to show that it hasn't hung up.
Maybe that's an idea too. It would look similar to here at the one
minute mark:

Using a very soft gradient for the gray is also an option - if
technically possible without color fringing. Even if very subtle it adds
a lot compared to a solid color. I wouldn't however use the lens flares
and the moving lighting from that video. That is a level of gloss that
creates complexity and distraction rather than clarity.


About the animation: 

The coolest thing would be if the e logo came in as if it was hand
written: first the e and then the circle around it. I hope you know what
I mean...
