Arch KDM-theme

I created new KDM-theme to fit OxyArch splash screen by combining  Suse.Logo-theme and background used by OxyArch theme. What was left for me was to fix the colors and change some positions.

The change from KDM to splashscreen feels unified as the backgrounds are the same and the login-box is at same altitude as the loading bar of the splash screen. It probably won't work in all resolutions, as the background is 1600x1200 and I have tested it only on 1920x1980.

If anyone is interested, you can download it from:
KDM: http://www.mediafire.com/?1bkt826q469jo4y
Splash Screen: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1195748/kspl … 1.0.tar.gz

Thanks to the original creators of both projects.

The mediafire download doesn't work here. Maybe you can upload it somewhere else? Thanks!

I don't really know any good upload sites but I guess megaupload can do:

Re: Arch KDM-theme

looks good except the fact, that the proprtions look a bit distorted. you scaled the logo much more in horizontal direction than in vertical.

Re: Arch KDM-theme

I created the theme only to match the splash screen with background resolution of 1600x1200 on 1920x1080 monitor. Even slightest change in background would break it, so I didn't do any.

The best solution would have been singe color background with separate image on top of it with static position. That way the theme would have looked great on every resolution. Then however I would have needed to do new splash screen in same fashion but at that time I didn't have engouh time nor did I know how to make one.

Actually while writing this I checked couple of things and it seems to be easy to create splash screen with 1920x1080 background which would correct the scaling problem.  I just might make one in next couple of days.
