    33It would be nice to see a visual theme for the Configured Workstations on the CAL network.

     5Anyone interested in submitting a suggestion should e-mail [wiki:dkg] about it.  In particular, i am interested in interesting graphical images that are a result of the astronomical work done at CAL.  This could potentially include telescope images (or manipulations thereof) or other interesting visualizations.  Working in the text "Columbia Astrophysics Laboratory" or "CAL" someplace would be neat too, but that can be easily added at a later date.

    7 There would be two basic elements to any proposed CAL theme: a login screen theme, and a desktop background.  It would also be nice to have a customized splash screen at startup.

    15 a splash screen shows up as the system is booting.  a simple png or jpeg sized at 420x300 should be fine, as would a vector illustration of roughly comparable aspect ratio.  Be aware that there will be little icons representing services that show up overlaid along the bottom of the image after login.

     19this is the pretty picture that shows when a computer is first turned on, before the login screen comes up.  It usually should include some form of progress indicator and room for textual information.  More details about the format can be found [http://www.bootsplash.org/ here], but simple suggestions would also be welcome independent of the packaging work.
