Working on boot for laststep… how should it look?
As the title says. I am working on a graphical boot implementation which starts right into X11 while the system is loaded. While the system is booting one should know how long it is going to take until the computer is usable. Once everything is done, and since we would already be graphical, I only need to switch to the login manager.
So I am working on some ideas… here’s one mockup I made (meaning not a real screenshot! And yes the progressbar is from a Mac, I just change the colors. A Aqua progress bar will obviously not be in my project).
I think a progress bar at boot is good, the user knows how long it will take until he can log in. In my opinion, a simple logo is, well, just too simple.
If you have any improvement or other ideas, please let me know.
