DanaGHere's a skin I used in my XP VM (until the VM broke, and I didn't bother fixing it): http://www.wincustomize.com/zoom.aspx?skinid=5498&libid=114:56
DanaGI used the white-flag version.14:56
DanaGNew version: http://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=4221&libid=114:57
DanaGAnd I use a nice bright orange theme when in Ubuntu.14:57
DanaGYesterday I installed OpenSUSE 11 in a VM... and I found the artwork to be .... not much.  As in, not much of anything -- mostly, it's just plain green.16:42
DanaGNot even a logo on the bootsplash, in fact.16:43
* zerwas mostly agrees16:43
DanaGThe older versions with the spinny bootsplash were cooler -- and perhaps Ubuntu could do something similar.  I remember seeing a post about it on the mailing list.16:43
DanaGdang, can't find the concept.16:47
DanaGOh yeah, and something about colored backgrounds for usplash: watch out for CRTs.  I know when I was using my CRT, I hated if it was bright at 60Hz.16:53
DanaGAah, here's one usplash concept: http://troy-sobotka.blogspot.com/2008/07/startup.html16:54
