Hello,

today I spent some hours making some NixOS eyecandy:

1. Grub background splashImage:

boot.loader.grub.splashImage = pkgs.fetchurl {
  details = http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=133259;
  url = http://www.bawab.ch/grub-nixos.png;
  sha256 = "918156e5754a9944754afb8ee23f77afb3ea401ddec63a88f8ec76858f9bf2b0";
};

2. fbsplash theme:

services.ttyBackgrouns.defaultTheme = pkgs.fetchurl {
  details = http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/NixOS?content=133254;
  url = http://www.bawab.ch/Theme-NixOS-0.0.2.tar.bz2;
  sha256 = "c91b3745a527bb87daa12dc6914577747b71b879f7b7577fb5d4dd779c3d22ef";
};

3. KDM (4..x) theme (*)

services.xserver.displayManager.kdm.theme = pkgs.fetchurl
{
  details = http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/NixOS?content=133252;
  url = http://www.bawab.ch/NixOS.tar.bz2;
  sha256 = "f684483ed3275b14e53751620a0cc92497769db49281c90760ab503b5f1c6f1d";
};

(*): works only with patched nixos/modules/services/x11/display-
managers/kdm.nix
(see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.nixos/5019 for the 
patch).
