Re: Q4Riv: Plymouth Theme for Q4OS

I replaced my logo with a more colorful one. under root

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth default.plymouth /usr/share/plymouth/themes/q4riv/q4riv.plymouth 100

sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u

Check

read -p 'Do you want to test the theme? (Y/N)'
if [ '$REPLY' != 'n' -a '$REPLY' != 'N' ] ; then
echo
echo 'Running 10-second test...'
sudo plymouthd ; sudo plymouth --show-splash ; for ((I=0; I<10; I++)); do sleep 1 ; sudo plymouth --update=test$I ; done ; sudo plymouth --quit
fi
exit
