@subsection Goals

This directory provides design models to produce image files for the

following CentOS Distribution components:

@table @strong

@item Syslinux

Contains design models for syslinux, the program used to boot the

CentOS Distribution installation media. @xref{Directories trunk

Identity Themes Models Default Distro Syslinux}, for more information.

@item Anaconda  

Contains design models for Anaconda, the program used to install

CentOS Distribution.  @xref{Directories trunk Identity Themes Models

Default Distro Anaconda}, for more information.

@item Firstboot  

Contains design models for the first boot program used to configure

the maching onece installed.  @xref{Directories trunk Identity Themes

Models Default Distro Firstboot}, for more information.

@item Rhgb

Contains design models for CentOS Graphical Boot, the program used to

show the boot process from Grub to Display Manager.  @xref{Directories

trunk Identity Themes Models Default Distro Rhgb}, for more

information.

@item Gdm  

Contains design models for GNOME Display Manager, the program used to

log into the manchine once installed and configured. @xref{Directories

trunk Identity Themes Models Default Distro Gdm}, for more

information.

@item Kdm  

Contains design models for KDE Display Manager, the program used to

log into the manchine once installed and configured. @xref{Directories

trunk Identity Themes Models Default Distro Kdm}, for more

information.

@item Grub 

Contains design models for GRUB (Grand Unified Boot Loader), the

program used to boot the machine into an operating system.

@xref{Directories trunk Identity Themes Models Default Distro Kdm}, for

more information.

@item Gsplash 

Contains design models for GNOME splash, the program used to show the

progress information while user's graphical session is loading.

@xref{Directories trunk Identity Themes Models Default Distro Gsplash},

for more information.

@item Ksplash  

Contains design models for KDE splash, the program used to show the

progress information while user's graphical session is loading.

@xref{Directories trunk Identity Themes Models Default Distro Ksplash},

@subsection Description

The CentOS Distribution visual style is controlled by image files.

These image files are packaged inside The CentOS Distribution and made

visible once such packages are installed and executed. The way to go

for changing The CentOS Distribution visual style is changing all

those image files to add the desired visual style first and later,

repackage them to make them available inside the final iso files of

CentOS Distribution.

@subsection Usage

This directory provides organizationl structure to store default

design models for CentOS Themes of CentOS Distribution and so it

should be considered to be used.

When a new component is added to CentOS Distribution, this is the

directory you need to go for specifying design models for image files

inside such component. 

The procedure to follow is creatig a directory for each component

using its very same name (e.g., the directory @file{Anaconda} stores

image files for Anaconda component, the installer program). Inside the

directory, you need to create one scalable vector graphic for each

image file inside the component you want to produce images for. This,

in order to set image dimensions, image file-name, position of

trademarks in the final image, translation markers and whatever common

information you need to have specified in them when rendered by

@command{centos-art} script.

Sometimes, between major releases, image files inside packages can be

added, removed or just change their names. In order to describe such

image files variations, the design models directory structure is

organized in the same way the file variations are introduced (i.e.,

through The CentOS Project Release Schema).  So, each major release of

CentOS Distribution does have its own design model directory structure

in this directory.

When a whole package is removed from one or all CentOS Distribution

major releases, the design models directory structure releated to it

is no longer used.  However it could be very useful for historical

reasons.  Also, someone could feel motivated enough to keep himself

documenting it or supporting it for whatever reason.
