Plastic Themes

Today I'll come up with a small tip and no, it won't be related to branching, merging, replicas or patterns from the Linux kernel... promised!

An easy one for a Thursday, cool?

Ok, I'd love to have something as cool as the Chrome Theme Gallery but let's start small: do you know your current Plastic SCM GUI client is able to change the top banner so you can customize it and look cooler than any of your colleagues?

Look, suppose you want to give your GUI a more Christmas-time style:



Cool, isn't it?

Ok, in order to change your banner:

Create a beautiful png image (500x56 aprox)

Save it as banner.png at your Plastic client location

Restart the Plastic GUI and... you're done!

In case you want to give a try to the Christmas banner, just download this one:



And now a quick look at my own private banner gallery... ;)



Well, I know you're all very busy "pros" doing important stuff with Plastic but... maybe you can give it a try, or even better, design and share your own!! :)

Enjoy!
