DUH! So much for my reading skills! It's been a busy morning . . .

The scroll wheel works for me to zoom.

Sorry for the noise.

If you find a way to fix it, do share with the community. Thanks.

Question: How to make the grub and theming reflect Daedalus instead of Chimaera

You'll need to switch to the Clearlooks-Phenix-Sapphire theme in "Appearance" or manually from /usr/share/themes/ and also select it in the "Window Manager" options. There may be other parts in /usr/share/themes/.  grub-styling is in /usr/share/desktop-base/. It is the default in Daedalus (or should be). How it's set up is a mystery to me but maybe fsmithred can jump in to sort things more clearly. Nice to hear that some folks really like Sapphire. Thank you!

[EDIT] You can also get all the pieces HERE.

OK. I broke down and repositioned the logo. It was a quick and dirty job and I had to boot my old Jessie to do it. Ugh!

Anyway, while IMO it is an improvement, the font sizing relative to the logo is not harmonious. Would probably look better centered between the V and A with both ends at the apex of those to letters that were created especially for this logo. I leave that task to those of you who can speak machine better than I. Here you go:

@boughtonp & alexkemp . . . thanks for working on a way to create a "Powered by Devuan" icon that Devuan can be proud of! I would join the technical fray but as I age the effort of dealing with the machine is overwhelming . . . wink I can help to optimize the layout verbally though.  smile

Black and white is fine as the colors have always changed with each release. And kiss. No borders or drop shadows. We are minimalists in this camp!! wink

Still looks lopsided. Try aligning it all the way to the right side of the "N" . . .

#884 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] "Powered by Devuan" icons? » 2023-08-19 01:51:10

Yes. Right now it is a bit cramped and lopsided but shouldn't take much to fix it . . .

#885 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] "Powered by Devuan" icons? » 2023-08-19 01:43:02

Someone just sent me this: https://transfer.sh/Lr44QJPhCW/powered_by_devuan.png

Would look better to get the text off of the swoosh and jammed in the corner. I'd line it up to the RH side. Would be much more balanced. I would do it myself but . . . well after nearly nine years of doing it myself, it's time to pass the torch.

For those who might be interested, here's the history of the creation of the Devuan logo back in 2015.

#886 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] "Powered by Devuan" icons? » 2023-08-19 01:23:45

It's not on the site yet . . . Any chance we can have a look?

#887 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] "Powered by Devuan" icons? » 2023-08-18 23:39:58

We do not yet have a "powered by" icon but perhaps someone will create one when they see this request. FWIW all Devuan artwork is collected HERE.

Didn't have it in Chimaera either, and everything worked..

Things change from release to release. It is always a good idea to read the Release Notes and also this page to make sure that your sources.list is configured correctly.

linwirepa . . . thank you for creating a new Devuan spin and posting it here. That being said . . . I find the Debian logo in the banner of your website inappropriate in this context. It could be confusing for some and who knows what Debian would do if they saw that association with Devuan using their logo!!

Have you cleared your cache? I had to to see the changes.

Not a thing. Have never had a display issue on Devuan.

What else would you expect but instability when you play on the bleeding edge of "unstable" (sid)? What you are experiencing is the norm . . .

Thanks for the kind words andyp67. I do what I can . . . smile
