I'd like to make a new desktop theme for my dwm desktop and xdm login screen based on the new Mayan calendar themed slackware 14.0.2012 logo

Please, does anyone know where I can find a nice high-res version of the new 14.0.2012 Mayan calender slackware logo suitable for a desktop wallpaper? 1024x768 or better would be nice. An svg would be ever better as it would allow me to fine tune the sizes.

engaget seem to have a small sized .jpg of it at http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget....e-linux-14.jpg, or I could crop the small one out of the lilo bmp files myself, but that wouldn't be ideal for the quality.


The only ones I can find on the system with 'locate' are on the lilo bmp files.


update:

Actually, because of the 'distressed' look, cutting the image from the lilo screen doesn't make that bad a result, but It'd still be nice to work from a better source.

I created the lilo bitmap from an example picture of the t-shirt (somewhat larger than you find in the Store). I do not have the original bitmap either.
The wrinkles in the t-shirt are still somewhat visible as the blue-ish stains in the lilo bitmap... perhaps that is what you call tthe "distressed" look?

440x418.png. Might be better than what you guys already have.

Thanks Eric. I didn't realise you'd pulled it directly from the t-shirt images.

I did noticed the blue stuff when I was playing around with the colour balance. Wondered what was causing that.

By 'distressed' I meant the 'aged' look on the lettering and iconographs itself, which tend to mask any resizing artefacts.
Not to worry, I'm sure I can make something workable out of what I have.

Update:

I've attached one that I've cleaned up and made into a 1024x768 wallpaper (looks good centred on a 1920x1080 widescreen too).
I cropped it from the lilo bmp files, used gimp to remove the t-shirt fold shadows, resized and centred the image on a 1024x768 canvas.
and also adjusted the colours a little to remove some of the garishness from the gold.

If anyone wants the cleaned-up crop in gimp..xcf format drop me a PM and we'll sort something out.

Beautiful homenage. lilo bitmap turned wallpaper =) Cool

Wait a sec, theres a mayan themed lilo splash? Do we have to do a full 14.0 reinstall to get that? My 13.37->current->14.0 boxen don't seem to have it..

No, it's only available in T-Shirts, but some people are creative enough to make a wallpaper from it

Here is the file I created, and which I re-used to create that second bitmap: ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/slackware/s...k14.0.2012.bmp
It is installed as part of the lilo package. You do have it on your computer already, as "/usr/doc/lilo-23.2/sample/slack14.0.2012.bmp".

Another unexpected treasure. Just replaced it in my lilo.conf and rebooted. Looks great!

Thanks for the hint.

(Eric: as soon as I've upgraded my "Microlinux Enterprise Desktop" and my "Microlinux Enterprise Server" from 13.37 to 14.0, I'll switch from read-only to fully available on SlackDocs.org. I really want to base all my installs for new clients on 14.0 rather than 13.37. ETA about ten days to a couple of weeks.)

i didn't expect that to be included in lilo documentation
looks great to replace 13.37 bitmap file

Thanks

It's things like this that make me love this distro. Cheers Eric, looks great!

Can't reboot right now - but look forward to seeing the new boot screen! Thanks.

Had a play this afternoon and made myself a rotating animated gif from it.

Couldn't get it much smaller without either making it too jerky or too small to see.
