Description Pierre Opter 2015-06-28 19:13:39 CEST 
Hi,

I use an encrypted partition. When starting mageia, the area to write the password to unlock the encrypted partition was completely overlaps with the inscription "Mageia" from the Launcher.

This is not blocking. But it is just very ugly. I think the correction has to be easy?

thank you a lot

Thanks, that's not pretty indeed :)

Fixing it would imply changing the plymouth animation so that the Mageia logo is not on the center of the screen. The issue is that then it's harder to make sure that the logo won't be cropped or badly placed depending on the user's screen resolution, so I'm not sure if it's worth changing.

I'll keep this in mind when working on the artwork for Mageia 6 at least.

Yeah I'm with Remi on this, fix at mga6.

Just off my head, it should be possible to move the logo placement such that it will always be visible.

Something like:

Max resolution we support is 1920x1440 for plymouth?
Min res supported 800x600 I think
Logo dimensions are 600x420 I think

So there are 600 - 420/2 available pixels above and below that we can move the logo into that will never be cropped. 

THat being said, I bought it would solve the issue on all resolutions as the logo size increases as the resolution decreases last I checked.

I'll have a look at this when I get some time.

A plymouth overhaul is something we need to do for mga6 anyway, maybe we can backport some of the fixes to 5 if really needed.

I've set target to 6 and assigned it to me for now.
