3.27.1 Goals

54b5a5
54b5a5
    54b5a5
  • Organize background images for Modern theme.

    3.27.2 Description

    4c79b5
    54b5a5

    Inside motif's <tt>`Backgrounds/'</tt> directory you can create vectorial

    54b5a5
    designs using Inkscape and background images using Gimp. Later, you
    54b5a5
    can export background images as <tt>`.png'</tt> and load them in your
    54b5a5
    vectorial design project using Inkscape's import feautre.  
    54b5a5

    54b5a5

    You may need to repeat this technic for different screen resoluions.

    54b5a5
    In that case you need to create one file for each screen resolution
    54b5a5
    and do the appropriate linking inside .svg to .png files.  For example
    54b5a5
    if you need to produce background images in 800x600 you need to create
    54b5a5
    the following file:
    54b5a5

    54b5a5
     
    xcf/800x600.xcf
    54b5a5
    54b5a5

    to produce the background image:

    54b5a5

    54b5a5
     
    img/800x600-bg.png
    54b5a5
    54b5a5

    which is loaded in:

    54b5a5

    54b5a5
     
    svg/800x600.svg
    54b5a5
    54b5a5

    to produce the final background image:

    54b5a5

    54b5a5
     
    img/800x600.png         
    54b5a5
    54b5a5

    The <tt>`img/800x600.png'</tt> background image is produced automatically

    54b5a5
    by means of rendering scripts.
    54b5a5

    54b5a5

    In other cases, like Anaconda's, it is possible that you need to make

    54b5a5
    some variations to one background image that don't want to appear on
    54b5a5
    regular background images of the same resolution. In this case you
    54b5a5
    need to create a new and specific background image for that art
    54b5a5
    component.  For example, if you need to produce the background image
    54b5a5
    used by Anconda (800x600) art works you create the file:
    54b5a5

    54b5a5
     
    xcf/800x600-anaconda.xcf
    54b5a5
    54b5a5

    to produce the background image:

    54b5a5

    54b5a5
     
    img/800x600-anaconda-bg.png
    54b5a5
    54b5a5

    which is loaded in:

    54b5a5

    54b5a5
     
    svg/800x600-anaconda.svg
    54b5a5
    54b5a5

    to produce the file:

    54b5a5

    54b5a5
     
    img/800x600-anaconda.png
    54b5a5
    54b5a5

    The 800x600-anaconda.png file is used by all Anaconda art works

    54b5a5
    sharing a common 800x600 screen resolution (e.g., Header, Progress,
    54b5a5
    Splash, Firstboot, etc.). The Anaconda Prompt is indexed to 16 colors
    54b5a5
    and 640x480 pixels so you need to create a 640x480 background image
    54b5a5
    for it, and take the color limitation into account when designing it.
    54b5a5

    54b5a5

    Background images without artistic motif are generally used as based

    54b5a5
    to build the Background images that do contain the theme's artistic
    54b5a5
    motif. 
    54b5a5

    54b5a5

    Background images are linked (using Inkscape's import feature)

    54b5a5
    inside almost all theme art works. This structure let you make
    54b5a5
    centralized changes on the visual identity and propagate them quickly
    54b5a5
    to other areas. 
    54b5a5

    54b5a5

    In this structure you design background images for different screen

    54b5a5
    resolutions based on theme's artistic motif.
    54b5a5

    54b5a5

    You may create different artistic motifs propositions based

    54b5a5
    on the same conceptual idea. The conceptual idea is what defines a
    54b5a5
    theme. Artistic motifs are interpretations of that idea.
    54b5a5

    54b5a5

    Inside this directory artistic motifs are organized by name (e.g.,

    54b5a5
    TreeFlower, Modern, etc.).
    54b5a5

    54b5a5

    Inside each motif directories represent just one unique artistic motif.

    54b5a5

    54b5a5

    The artistic motif is graphic design used as common pattern to connect

    54b5a5
    all visual manifestations inside one unique theme.  The artistic motif
    54b5a5
    is based on a conceptual idea.  Artistic motifs provide visual style
    54b5a5
    to themes.
    54b5a5

    54b5a5

    Designing artistic motifs is for anyone interested in creating

    54b5a5
    beautiful themes for CentOS.  When building a theme for CentOS, the
    54b5a5
    first design you need to define is the artistic motif. 
    54b5a5

    54b5a5
    54b5a5

    Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, theme visual styles (Motifs) and

    54b5a5
    theme visual structures (Models) are two different working lines.
    54b5a5
    When you design an artistic motif for CentOS you concentrate on its
    54b5a5
    visual style, and eventualy, use the centos-art command line
    54b5a5
    interface to render the visual style, you are currently producing,
    54b5a5
    against an already-made theme model in order to produce the final
    54b5a5
    result.  Final images are stored under the motif's name directory
    54b5a5
    using the model directory structure as reference.
    54b5a5

    54b5a5

    The artistic motif base structure is used by centos-art to

    54b5a5
    produce images automatically. This section describes each directory of
    54b5a5
    CentOS artistic motif base structure.

    3.27.3 Usage

    4c79b5
    54b5a5

    The motif's <tt>`Backgrounds/'</tt> directory is probably the motif's core

    54b5a5
    component.  Inside motif's <tt>`Backgrounds/'</tt> directory you produce
    54b5a5
    background images used by almost all theme models (e.g., Distribution,
    54b5a5
    Websites, Promotion, etc.).  The motif's <tt>`Backgrounds/'</tt> directory
    54b5a5
    can contain subdirectories to help you organize the design process.
