Replace with the BGRT spinner plymouth theme #17

This is what it looks like in Fedora (please ignore the old Fedora logo at the bottom as it has been replaced by the newer one): plymouth-bgrt-spinner-fedora

As you can kinda see it shows the firmware/ BGRT logo in the middle, with an adwaita spinner in the middle and the distribution logo on the bottom. This, IMO looks much more professional and shows the firmware logo or BGRT. You'll have to just add the Vanilla OS distribution logo (which will be shown on the bottom part) in the theme files, package it in the repos, and replace the existing Plymouth theme package with this one.

I am personally against this, if OEM wants to show their brand, they co go this way but Vanilla OS has its own.

Is the package for this theme already installed on VanillaOS?

Thanks! How do I switch to it, tho?

axtloss commented 2 months ago

edit /etc/plymouth/plymouthd.conf and replace Theme=vanilla-bgrt with Theme=spinner, you may have to regenerate the initramfs with abroot update-initramfs

There is no plymouth folder on my install.

run host-shell, then try again

I followed the instructions and rebooted but only the spinner showed up on the splash screen, no distribution logo or anything.

yes, you'll have to add the distro logo yourself, im not sure how to do that we disable the oem logo through a kernel argument, run abroot kargs edit and remove bgrt_disable
