+Considering that gfxboot and plymouth are the same, but kdm, (gdm?),
+ksplash and backgrounds are different, I feel that some unification is
+required as the generally theme seems slightly fractured. So maybe
+while we're sorting out the background and whatnot we fix that too?
+
+I really like the dark image image and the inverted one, however, I
+thinks that that is too dark.
+Was there ever a decision made about the colour scheme that we should
+base things on? If not, how does something purple sound, as I don't
+know of a purple Linux distro, if not, Mdv have moved away from blue
+so we could take that.
+
+WDYT?
