Bug 120257 – Ksplash 'default' splash screen remains after selecting another

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description jason fuchs 2006-01-24 22:20:32 UTC]

Added custom ksplash to kde3.5, 'default' splash is still shown.  Deleting/renaming the folder containing the 'default' splash then allows the splash screen selected in the control panel to load correctly.  Am having same result on 2 systems.

Still the case as of kde 3.5.2

[Comment 2 Damien Gombault 2006-09-25 01:49:08 UTC]

I confirm this on KDE 3.5.4.

[Comment 3 arno 2007-03-22 14:05:42 UTC]

Just a wild guess: could this be related to http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76683 ?

i.e. that your theme identifier and the directory name that contains the theme files are not identical?

From the KDE-docs (3.5.6):
Ensure that the name of the directory that contains the theme files (~/.kde/apps/ksplash/Themes/MyCoolTheme in this example) and the identifier ([KSplash Theme: MyCoolTheme] in this example) of the theme in the Theme.rc file are identical. Otherwise, KSplash will not recognize the theme.

Is this still a problem for you? I just tried (using 3.5.6) and it worked fine for me. If it is still a problem, please attach the splash screen and describe what you did exactly.
