Idea #7233: Take Advantage of the new boot screen used on fedora 8

bug This idea is a duplicate of Idea #4258: Make Ubuntu look like its default theme since it starts booting.
Written by retj the 18 Apr 08 at 18:50. Category: Look and Feel. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
Mora than an static image heres the new boot screen used on fedora core 8 i think its more useful and professional than any used unti now.
Shows an animated bar and a ''show deatils'' button that allows you to see the bootloader messages.
Heres an screenshot take a look and vote:

I think Ubuntu sort of lacks professionalism and the "finished" quality some other products have. It's getting there, but only with steps like this will we ever get there.

I would rather see the boot-up speed be increased so its faster and take less time.

For god sakes eldmannen there are already ideas to do that stop saying this on every idea related to the look and feel of the boot loader

Similar to idea 7237, not duplicate, but could be combined.

And besides, Eldmannen, boot-up speed = faster = less time. -.-

yes, it is to good thing to learn from Fedora, it is a very good distro...

+1
The OS looks should be consistent from boot 'till desktop. The plain black screen with Ubuntu logo totally breaks visual consistency. If the desktop theme is brown, the loader should be brown too.

Fedora linux is way more beautiful than ubuntu... for now..

+1. This would surpass even the Mac's boot sequence!

yay for bootloader messages. not that i as a noob would be interested in the content of these messages, but it keeps the mind busy and is far more entertaining than watching an orange bar oscillate
