Plymouth Themes

Quick update, I have the maze sprites placed, Pacman chomping and running across the screen.

Now comes the difficult part: the dots and the timing. To be continued...

So Plymouth basically means it's an animated splashscreen?

@robertybob it's more than that, it's a logging tool, it runs as long as your boot sequence rather than a finite time like a video, and it also incorporates dialogue boxes/password input

It's more integrated. Look up the manpage for Plymouth

@herb_fargus Ah ok I understand. Keep us posted :)

@herb_fargus Looking good, I have no idea how any of this works, i know its hard work and not magic but that is it.

keep up the good work

@herb_fargus HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh this Pacman loading bar made me laugh with joy. Love the music too. Awesome job :)

Could someone give me a hint installing the themes on Ubuntu?
The command plymouth-set-default-theme --list does not exist on Ubuntu.

And putting the themes under /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ does not show them with update-alternatives --config default.plymouth.
