Background image in grub and boot process + suggestions on how we can improve Skolelinux/DebianEdu

[Arnt Ove Gregersen <arntogle@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

The background image with the world, Skoletux and the Skolelinux logo is a bit messed up in my grub menu and when I am booting the system. Are anyone else experiencing the same ?

Also, the current Skoletux used in the grub menu , when booting the system and in the install process uses the old Skoletux mascot(Version 1).  We should instead use the official one (Version 2) :

Is there anyone willing to help me fix and imrpove this in the coming developer gathering ?

Also, I would like to discuss how we can improve and modernize the Skolelinux/DebianEdu desktop during the gathering, is there anyone else who would like to participate in such a discussion ?

My main thoughts and suggestions are:

- Remove unnecassery menu elements in the K-menu, there are many duplicates and in my opion it is not that well organized
- Replace the current icon theme with a more modern one 
- Make a nice user start page for the browsers
- Add default school related bookmarks  to the browsers
- Make the root start page look nicer and simplify it
- Lwat should also get a nice looking design
- Brand the Skolelinux/Debian desktop with our colors, logo and mascot wherever possible so there is no doubt that this is Skolelinux/DebianEdu

Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Have a nice day.
