3.25.2 Description
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
Inside motif's <tt>`Backgrounds/'</tt> directory you can create vectorial
|
|
|
63f275 |
designs using Inkscape and background images using Gimp. Later, you
|
|
|
63f275 |
can export background images as <tt>`.png'</tt> and load them in your
|
|
|
63f275 |
vectorial design project using Inkscape's import feautre.
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
You may need to repeat this technic for different screen resoluions.
|
|
|
63f275 |
In that case you need to create one file for each screen resolution
|
|
|
63f275 |
and do the appropriate linking inside .svg to .png files. For example
|
|
|
63f275 |
if you need to produce background images in 800x600 you need to create
|
|
|
63f275 |
the following file:
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
to produce the background image:
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
which is loaded in:
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
to produce the final background image:
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
The <tt>`img/800x600.png'</tt> background image is produced automatically
|
|
|
63f275 |
by means of rendering scripts.
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
In other cases, like Anaconda's, it is possible that you need to make
|
|
|
63f275 |
some variations to one background image that don't want to appear on
|
|
|
63f275 |
regular background images of the same resolution. In this case you
|
|
|
63f275 |
need to create a new and specific background image for that art
|
|
|
63f275 |
component. For example, if you need to produce the background image
|
|
|
63f275 |
used by Anconda (800x600) art works you create the file:
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
to produce the background image:
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
| | img/800x600-anaconda-bg.png |
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
which is loaded in:
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
to produce the file:
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
The 800x600-anaconda.png file is used by all Anaconda art works
|
|
|
63f275 |
sharing a common 800x600 screen resolution (e.g., Header, Progress,
|
|
|
63f275 |
Splash, Firstboot, etc.). The Anaconda Prompt is indexed to 16 colors
|
|
|
63f275 |
and 640x480 pixels so you need to create a 640x480 background image
|
|
|
63f275 |
for it, and take the color limitation into account when designing it.
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
Background images without artistic motif are generally used as based
|
|
|
63f275 |
to build the Background images that do contain the theme's artistic
|
|
|
63f275 |
motif.
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
Background images are linked (using Inkscape's import feature)
|
|
|
63f275 |
inside almost all theme art works. This structure let you make
|
|
|
63f275 |
centralized changes on the visual identity and propagate them quickly
|
|
|
63f275 |
to other areas.
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
In this structure you design background images for different screen
|
|
|
63f275 |
resolutions based on theme's artistic motif.
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
You may create different artistic motifs propositions based
|
|
|
63f275 |
on the same conceptual idea. The conceptual idea is what defines a
|
|
|
63f275 |
theme. Artistic motifs are interpretations of that idea.
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
Inside this directory artistic motifs are organized by name (e.g.,
|
|
|
63f275 |
TreeFlower, Modern, etc.).
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
Inside each motif directories represent just one unique artistic motif.
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
The artistic motif is graphic design used as common pattern to connect
|
|
|
63f275 |
all visual manifestations inside one unique theme. The artistic motif
|
|
|
63f275 |
is based on a conceptual idea. Artistic motifs provide visual style
|
|
|
63f275 |
to themes.
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
Designing artistic motifs is for anyone interested in creating
|
|
|
63f275 |
beautiful themes for CentOS. When building a theme for CentOS, the
|
|
|
63f275 |
first design you need to define is the artistic motif.
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, theme visual styles (Motifs) and
|
|
|
63f275 |
theme visual structures (Models) are two different working lines.
|
|
|
63f275 |
When you design an artistic motif for CentOS you concentrate on its
|
|
|
63f275 |
visual style, and eventualy, use the centos-art command line
|
|
|
63f275 |
interface to render the visual style, you are currently producing,
|
|
|
63f275 |
against an already-made theme model in order to produce the final
|
|
|
63f275 |
result. Final images are stored under the motif's name directory
|
|
|
63f275 |
using the model directory structure as reference.
|
|
|
63f275 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
The artistic motif base structure is used by centos-art to
|
|
|
63f275 |
produce images automatically. This section describes each directory of
|
|
|
63f275 |
CentOS artistic motif base structure.

3.25.3 Usage
|
|
|
4c79b5 |
|
|
|
63f275 |
The motif's <tt>`Backgrounds/'</tt> directory is probably the motif's core
|
|
|
63f275 |
component. Inside motif's <tt>`Backgrounds/'</tt> directory you produce
|
|
|
63f275 |
background images used by almost all theme models (e.g., Distribution,
|
|
|
63f275 |
Websites, Promotion, etc.). The motif's <tt>`Backgrounds/'</tt> directory
|
|
|
63f275 |
can contain subdirectories to help you organize the design process.
