Artwork requirements

Concept

An idea to represent the entire campaign and drive a release. Example: Blue Debian, Debian Universal, Night, Space...

Technical Details

A theme consists of a set of small graphical parts of each part of the operating system. Gamma: Please gamma-correct all this artwork. 0.45 (not 2.2).

  • The Debian open logo with "Debian" is not compliant to the Debian policy

  • Boot Screen
    • Isolinux: 640x300, 4bit (16 colors) view Make Sys Image

    • Syslinux: 640x300, 16bit, file PNG (maybe {ext,sys}linux, plymouth/usplash?)
    • GRUB 2: 640x480, 24bit, file PNG.
    • Splashy: 800x600, 16bit( 65536 colors) how create a theme splashy

    • Plymouth: An SVG file (or at the very least a collection of PNGs for the different elements from the scene, and the background)
  • Debian Installer: 800x75, 16bit (65536 colors) + possibly a gtk theme to match the colours of the image (the theme must be stripped and default custom buttons will not be used - see the discussion about the stripped Bladr theme)

  • Desktop Wallpaper
    • Highly recommended to be a SVG file
    • It must look nice when cropped at either of those resolutions (spacefun is a good example of what to not do)

      • 1280x1024 or 2560x2048 5:4 SXGA
      • 1600x1200 or 2048x1536 4:3 standard
      • 1920x1200 or 2560x1600 16:10 widescreen
      • 1920x1080 16:9 FullHD
  • GDM 3
    • Same requirements as the desktop wallpaper
    • SVG format recommended
    • The picture must transition smoothly to the desktop wallpaper (with a fade-in effect).
  • KDM theme?
  • Menu icons (e.g. K icon, or GNOME foot)

  • Desktop Splash screen: 420x293, 16bit (65536 colors), (GNOME, KDE, Xfce, LXDE?, GNUStep?, …)

  • CD/DVD labels: *FIXME*
  • Website Banner;

Since all parts are needed to properly theme Debian, submission complete of all pieces above are highly recommended, although not strictly required. If you participate with an incomplete submission and your submission gets selected, you'll be asked to complete it before it can be deployed.
