Xdm-arch-logo theme for xdm

Hi,
Quick announcement to say I forked the xdm-arch-theme by Xappe & the-isz to create xdm-arch-logo.
The original idea developed in this forum thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=69299
I've forked and renamed it because:
a) The directory structure was too complex (compared with xdm-archlinux - now in community)
b) Installed directory names did not match the package named leading to (my) confusion
c) I could never remember which xdm arch theme was the decent one with the official logo
I also added support for systemd service.
AUR Package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xdm-arch-logo/
Github: https://github.com/jwm-art-net/xdm-arch-logo/
Screenshot: https://github.com/jwm-art-net/xdm-arch-logo/wiki
This is the one that should be in community, not that horrible sky blue/cyan one!
Thanks Xappe & the-isz

I know those themes. but I don't like them. Their style and colors are too similar, and they are often too complicated.
I read about writing your own themes (that's how I did the uzbl one), but it cost me a lot of time, which I would rather not invest now.
And since I will present an Arch related presentation on Archcon, I want an Arch theme

Complete theme for Arch Linux

Hi guys. In celebration of Arch's new design, I finally decided to learn more about making wallpapers and GTK+ themes. Unfortunately, I had to basically hack an existing GTK+ theme (Smooth-Line), but it still looks good and matches the overall feel of Arch Linux, in my opinion.
I've created a collection of files that themes the following things:
GTK widgets
Fluxbox
desktop background
urxvt
The goal was to integrate seamlessly with the website's look and feel. I think I've succeeded:
Unfortunately, I don't have an xcf of the background, so I doubt it can be scaled easily. I guess it's one of those things you don't think about when a project starts out being 'just for me'.
I've uploaded a g-zipped tarball of the files you'll need to use the theme.
http://sporkbox.us/linux/arch-theme.tar.gz
* The sample .Xdefaults file allows you to change the colors for urxvt. Feel free to delete all the stuff before the "color#" lines.
* gtkrc goes wherever you want it, but should be put in /usr/share/themes/Smooth-Arch/gtk-2.0/ if you want theme switching apps to recognize it.
* The background can be put anywhere.
* Arch-Linux goes in /usr/share/fluxbox/styles or ~/.fluxbox/styles.
I hope you guys like it.
EDIT: Updated the screenshot and fixed the link to the archive.

Beat me to it.
I've got loads of half-finished themes here (or did have; they might have gone when I switched to Arch) - once I found QtCurve, it just seemed too much hassle. It's not totally configurable from the GUI, but it certainly beats poring over gtkrcs until your eyes hurt.
Edit: I meant to add that the wallpaper works quite well cropped to 5:4 if you take the right end. The big Arch logo loses its bottom left point, but it's not too bad.

[solved! :D] Updated Arch logos for the merch?

I was thinking the other day about how much Arch has done for me and I decided I'd make a donation and buy a t-shirt, but I noticed that all the merch is still using the old logo! Any chance one of you guys in the Arch hierarchy (no pun intended) could update the merch so I could get a new-logo shirt?
Oh and by the way, just a suggestion - it might be a good idea to keep the old logo available too for people that like those, I know cafepress doesn't mind a lot of stuff on the site and all

The next desktop I build will definitely be designed for Arch.
Too bad it's an impossible dream for laptops though.
Or are there actually vendors offering to custom-build laptops? I've been looking for this kind of offering for a long time but haven't been able to find anything.
My favorite part about those "designed for" Windows stickers is ... well ... how do you DESIGN hardware for an operating system, yet ... you need to install third party drivers to make it work?
Oh, and I bought the failsauce mug and the arch taco t-shirt! I can't wait to get them Of course, ordering merch is the absolute least I could do for what Arch has given me, but I hope it helps you guys

Arch Theme for IceWM

Hi, I've been designing a theme for IceWM, based on the Archlinux's current artwork. I started the design from scratch using Inkscape and Gimp, and implemented it by modifying SIlverXPs theme configuration files. You can download it here .
Here are some screenshots:
Hope you liked it![/url]

Wow, this is really nice.
Too bad that the last update to this was 2 years ago and since then Arch's logo has been updated as well... it would be great to have an updated version of this theme.
I suck at Gimp.

Why does cloud logo not appear next to some songs in my iTunes library? Does it not save them for some reason?

Why does cloud logo not appear next to some songs in my iTunes library? Does it not save them for some reason?

Hello!
The cloud logo means that you purchased these songs from the iTunes Store but haven't downloaded them to your computer yet. If you want, click the clouds to download the songs and the cloud logo's will disappear for those songs too.

Thank you!
P.S.: I've already uploaded updated xcursor-pinux to AUR.
I created a new archive, which holds both 24x24 and 32x32 versions. Also I noticed that the old 24x24 version had wrong sized cursors in it, which is now corrected. I guess everything should be okay now.
The new archive can be found here
About the ubuntu theme, I have no idea. If some of their cursors are better, we should replace some in the arch theme as well

Replace the arch logo in the framebuffer during boot?

since the tango version of the arch logo http://www.archlinux.org/media/logo.png is also used on the homepage and since it looks better than the currently used (IMHO ), i would like to know how people would think about replacing the current icon during bootup: http://www.archlinux.org/logos/archlinux_logo_aqua.png with the tango version?
i think it would look better.

Yeah, I know and it's what I'm using right now
What I meant was why not using fbsplash/gensplash/splashy with a arch-based theme (from 800x600 till 1900x1200 or similar resolution to satisfy everybody needs) by default? Why only a little logo when you can have better resolution and a nicer without-X look?
Obviously with the beyond and/or the vanilla kernel.
Not everyone wants a graphical bootup. And some cards don't support framebuffer and throw error messages. My card did this until kernel 2.6.18.

Gnome panel foot logo--arch logo

it used to be that if you wanted your gnome panel to have the arch logo rather than the foot logo you would replace /opt/gnome/share/piximaps/gnome-logo-icon-transparent.png with the archlogo, this is no longer the case. (as of gnome 2.16 afaik) can anyone help me on this. I am getting a little sick of the foot

Arch logo wallpapers -- 1920x1080

Hi,
I'm a new Arch user, and thought I'd share wallpapers I created using Gimp and Arch! The logos featured in these wallpapers are from the archlinux-artwork package in the repos. BTW some of the thumbnails aren't very clear, so you may need to click to see it properly.

Welcome to Arch!
Thanks for the wallpapers..just nabbed '..arch7..' for myself. I've been looking for something nice and Archey to go along with Awesome WM's 'Strict' theme!
Any who, feel free to ask the mighty Arch community for any and all sorts of help..that is if the answers to you're questions don't already exist in the wiki/forum!

Arch logo not appearing when booting

Hi guys I know this is probably for most of you not a problem but I like the logos and want them to have at boot up
So here is my situation:
I have a Samsung N150 netbook with an Intel Atom N450 Core, a GMA3150 Accelerator and a display that supports a resolution up to 1024x600 (although it is possible under windows to put it on 1024x768 too but its not made for that and doesnt look good)
I am using grub and I have read that you need to use the frambuffer to be able to see the logos (with the parameter vga=...). However this doesnt make the logos appear, here is the vga setting that I put in the kernel line: vga=789
He also supports only a maximum solution of 800x600 when booting with grub (is there a way to make it with 1024x600?), after udev starts he sets the display resolution to 1024x600. still the logos are not there
The netbook that I had before this one (acer aspire one) did show the logos and it had a very similar hardware (atom core, gma3xxx accelerator) so I think it should be possible with this one too..
any idea what I can do?

Yes, it's the same logo. No, it's unlikely to be coming back.

I got my iPhone stolen at a party, the next day my friend gave me back my iPhone 4s and he said that it was jailbroken. Now it will not turn on. When i plug it in to a charger, the apple logo appears for about ten second, then connect to iTunes stays on.

Hello, i have a question on my iphone 4s. I went to a party a few days ago and it had gotten stolen. The next day my friend said that he had found it and it was jaibroken? The phone was on 1 % when i had recieved it. It then died and i plugged it in to the charger. When i plugged it in the apple logo appeared as if it was starting but, it wasnt. The apple logo appeared for about ten seconds and then the screen went black. After that, the connect to itunes screen popped up and will not go away. So now when i take it off of the charger the screen just stays black and wont turn on? I tried connecting it to itunes and restoring it. But it wont even show my phone any more on the side of itunes. I tried restoring it and an error had occured (2001). I have looked up on youtube how to fix this problem and non of them have helped or worked. Its my only phone and i cant even text my girlfriend which bothers me terribly!! Please help me ASAP!!

The terms of service of the Apple Support Communities prevent us from helping anyone with a jailbroken phone.
You're on your own. Good luck.

Logo Kit help- how to prepare logo files for office use?

Hi, I need assistance preparing ready-made logo files for our office owners to use. So far, I have the following that I've created in Illustrator:
1. EPS files with Pantone colors for professional printing (publications, ads, brochures, business cards, etc)
2. I converted the EPS files into RGB 72 dpi JPEG and GIF files (small, medium, and large sizes) for various online and digital uses (PowerPoint presentations, e-mails, online forms, social media pages, etc.)
3. I also converted the EPS files into CMYK 300 dpi TIF files for in-house printing (in small, medium, and large sizes)
#3 is where I need the most assistance. These files are for the office owners to import and arrange into their own publications that will be printed inside their own office. During the test run, I was notified of color variances that were happening- the logo files were being inserted into Word documents that were then converted into PDFs. In a few cases (when the document was saved as PDF, or exported as a PDF in the print preview), the colors appeared pretty accurate (at least on screen, they were not printed) but in a case when the document was being exported as a PDF in the Adobe Standard Add-on, the colors were very off (appeared much more vibrant). During researching the issue, I am starting to lean on provided these types of files with RGB colors (especially if they will be using them in Microsoft Office). Let me know if this is correct - I am still a bit confused though, since I've always thought that files that are to be printed must be in CMYK, not RGB.
How should I be preparing these types of files?
Thanks!
Also, any quick tips for the EPS or online RGB file preparation when saving? I made sure to embed colors in the RGB files for color consistency within browsers. For the EPS, I made sure to embed fonts. Anything else I should be keeping my eye out for?

if the color conversion would be accurate to the original that way.
If you worry about that in the context of using Office apps, you might as well shoot yourself or jump out of the next window. You simply won't know and unless they work on calibrated monitors and printers (which is extremely unlikely) your precautions with embedding color profiles and all that mean pretty much nothing. The same for your web stuff - unless there is an active monitor color profile on the system, browsers won't do any color management. That's even more the case for mobile devices. So in summary, you can really only output it based on your calibration and hope it matches their systems and a standard sRGB profile reasonably well.

HT204266 25 apps on my wife's phone need updating and now it "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" only when i try to update them for her. I can access the iTunes store for all other options but not to update. How can I get her updated?

25 apps on my wife's phone need updating and now it "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" only when i try to update them for her. I can access the iTunes store for all other options but not to update. How can I get her updated?

Try quitting the App Store:
Tap the home button to get to the home screen. Then double tap the home button, and hold your finger over the App Store icon. Tap the red when it appears. Tap the home button again to return to the home screen.
Try resetting:
Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

There are no icons of the apps i downloaded. I mean, I used them for a while, then my iPod died, I charged it a little, then turned it on, and saw blanks instead of apps. They work pretty fine, but there are no icons, just white rectangles. What can I do?

- First try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- If still problem restore the iPOd via iTunes on your computer. First from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
