Hi guys I'm back and have i the story this story.. i know i know this tutorial was meant for "Mint 12 Lisa" but it was there so i thought I'd give it a test drive "Warning" read the second sentence where it says "do this at your own risk" If there was an easier way I'd take it, being a beta tester taught me to be cautious so be careful if you decide to try it i did and i don't recomend it unless you know what your doing or you take the chance of breaking something, don't think Clem would like to see that happen..
There is a workaround for 'Mint 12 Lisa'.
But this is an irregular way, so you should do this at your own risk.
[1] Add repository of 'Mint 11 katya' to "Software Sources" temporarily.
-1 Open "Software Sources".
-2 Click on "Other Software" tab.
-3 Click on "Add..." button.
-4 Input APT Line as below:
deb
http://packages.linuxmint.com/ katya main upstream import
-5 Click on "Add Source" button.
-6 Close "Software Sources".
[2] Reload repository then Install 'plymouth-theme-mint-logo' and 'plymouth-theme-mint-text' with "Synaptic Package Manager" or "Software Manager".
(Probably some packages would appear as Upgradable, but ignore them.)
[3] Tick off against katya's repository (or remove it) in "Other Software" of "Software Sources" after installation of the packages above.
[4] Reboot your PC.
[5] Plymouth splash screen of Mint would appear while booting.
