KSplashQML Themes

[OneLine]

The Topic: KSplashQML ( http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...opic=3119840.0) was moved out of my reach.

It is now at the root of the Kubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin board, so i can't edit it.

Right now, we do not have documentation on Techbase for this new addition but if one looks in kde-workspace/ksplash/ksplashqml/themes it becomes very apparent.

Kubuntu QML Splash screen: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php...content=147778

Description:
A splash screen for KDE that mimics the Kubuntu Plymouth splash screen theme, so you get a nice flicker-free and consistent system startup experience.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a QML-based splash screen and no traditional KSplashX theme!
For you this means: You need at least KDE 4.8 to use this theme!

Writing an own theme

Looking the examples: Minimalistic & Kubuntu QML Splash screen

Making the directories:

• /usr/share/kde4/apps/ksplash/Themes/OneLine/
• /usr/share/kde4/apps/ksplash/Themes/OneLine/images/

The ../ksplash/Themes/OneLine/ has

main.qml

import Qt 4.7

Item {
  id: main

  width: screenSize.width
  height: screenSize.height

  property int stage

  onStageChanged: {
    if (stage == 1) { pwfield.opacity = 0.9 }
    if (stage == 2) { pwfield.opacity = 0.8 }
    if (stage == 3) { pwfield.opacity = 0.6 }
    if (stage == 4) { pwfield.opacity = 0.4 }
    if (stage == 5) { pwfield.opacity = 0.2 }
  }

  Image {
   id: wallpaper
   
   height: parent.height
   width: parent.width
   
   x: 0
   y: 0
   
   source: "images/wallpaper.png"
  }
  
  Image {
   id: pwfield
   
   height: 262
   width: 416
   
   x: (parent.width - width) /2
   y: (parent.height - height ) /2
   
   source: "images/pwfield.png"
  }
}

Theme.rc

[KSplash Theme: OneLine]
Name = Fading KDM Splash Screen
Description = Smooth transition from the KDM to the desktop
Version = 0.1
 Author = OneLine

# Theme behaviour settings.
Engine = KSplashQML

and the preview image: Preview.png

The ../ksplash/Themes/OneLine/images/ has

The background/wallpaper image. Using the Ariya wallpaper (http://websvn.kde.org/?view=revision&revision=1269254).

and a KDM mockup picture.



Testing

Testing the KSplash theme with the command:

sudo ksplashqml OneLine --test

The theme has the Ariya wallpaper as background and the KDM password field is fading more or less smoothly to the desktop.

Turning the Fading KDM splash screen as the default splasn screen. System Settings -> Workspace Appearance -> Splash Screen.

My bad! I've (re)moved it to Kubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin | Pre-Release Testing.
