I spend quite a lot of time thinking about the usability and aesthetics of Ubuntu as i'm using it. A while ago i made a video mock up of my vision of a friendly and good looking Ubuntu boot process, which inspired a project dedicated to making some of those ideas reality. Well I've been thinking about it again recently and i've changed my concept a little...
Computer is powered on-
OEM's ugly logo appears
And then Ubuntu starts to boot..-
and then the ubuntu logo appears glowing and throbbing, telling us its working...
and when the ubuntu logo is still and glowing you know the system is ready.
and then the ubuntu logo fades away...
the ubuntu logo appears, introducing you to the operating system...
the bottom bar is gone...in my opinion its not needed unless your a power user constantly changing session types, ive replaces it with a settings menu button on the bottom right corner.
password entered.
the background morphs into the desktop wallpaper as the login box is still informing you that its logging in, the ellipses pulsing so you know its working, when the desktop is loaded, the login box fades away.
the current boot for comparisons sake:
im not a designer and i know that allignments arent great but this is just a concept
