Exherbo Artwork

Exherbo Artwork

This package contains Exherbo-themed images in SVG format which, when processed with the included utility make-exherbo-art, are suitable for use as desktop wallpaper, display manager backgrounds, boot splashes, or GRUB menu splashes. Also provided are the original SVG Zebrapig logo for users who wish to create their own Exherbo-themed artwork, and a set of standard desktop icons.

Each image (with the exception of the artwork in the icons/ and logo/ subdirectories) has been specially prepared for SVGmod processing, which allows automated changing of background color and widening of the image without its contents being flattened. See README.mkd in the SVGmod distribution for more information on this process, and man svgmod for usage details.

/usr/bin/make-exherbo-art

/etc/exherbo-artwork.cfg

Configuration file for make-exherbo-art.

Requirements

Needed by make-exherbo-art:

ImageMagick
Python – Version 2.6 or greater.
SVGmod

Usage

For a complete list of command line options see make-exherbo-art --help.

Before using make-exherbo-art for the first time you should edit /etc/exherbo-artwork.cfg and at least set the output resolutions to suit your needs. Read the comments in that file for configuration details. You can comment out sections for any images you won’t use, or add new sections for images not included in this distribution.

Once you have a customized configuration simply run:

$ make-exherbo-art

Processed files will be saved to the current directory by default, although this can be overridden in the config file either globally or per-file. The output directory settings in the config file can also be overridden with the --output-dir command line option.

Some common cases for deploying output images are outlined below:

GRUB Legacy splash images

# mv exherbo-zebrapig-grub_legacy-pink-640x480.xpm.gz /boot/grub/

Edit the value for splashimage in your grub.conf file or menu.lst if that’s what you use. (Simply add the following line to the beginning of the file if no splashimage setting exists.)

splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/exherbo-zebrapig-grub_legacy-pink-640x480.xpm.gz

Replace (hd0,0) with your system’s GRUB root if it’s different.

KDE wallpaper

For KDE4:

$ mv exherbo-zebrapig-zoink-pink-1024x768.png ~/.kde4/share/wallpapers/
