Description:
Finally! The plymouth bootsplash you've always wanted, to impress friends, co-workers, confidants, the elderly, etc.! They will think you are booting into a certain popular OS, but they will be wrong!
Now the theme is semi-configurable. Images were created or modified using GIMP or Inkscape, from publicly available sources (like Wikipedia). I've included some svg files that I used so that you can make your own png images from them if you so choose.
##################### INSTALLATION ##########################
(UPDATED INSTRUCTIONS) On Fedora:
You'll need to extract as root, to /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ and then run:
plymouth-set-default-theme --rebuild-initrd 7
On Ubuntu (thanks Schiwi):
sudo tar xzvf 7-0.2.tar.gz -C /lib/plymouth/themes/
sudo sed -i 's/\/usr\/share\//\/lib\//g' /lib/plymouth/themes/7/7.plymouth
sudo rm /etc/alternatives/default.plymouth
sudo ln -s /lib/plymouth/themes/7/7.plymouth /etc/alternatives/default.plymouth
sudo update-initramfs -u -k all
##################### CONFIGURATION ##########################
As root, open /usr/share/plymouth/themes/7/7.script with your favorite editor. Instructions on customizing the theme are in the top portion of the file. You may need to rerun this in order to see changes. You may not.
plymouth-set-default-theme --rebuild-initrd 7
