Double-sized, special edition, animated boot screen (Plymouth theme)

Mint-3: new Plymouth themes for Linux Mint 21.x

These are 3 new versions to choose from for your animated boot screen. These logos here are twice as large as the standard one. 200 pixels instead of 100. This works best on High Resolution (HD) screens, but it should work on smaller screens too.

This is all unofficial. I just needed a bigger logo for my startup screen, and then i added my special editions...

This is all based on the same two-step engine as the current mint-logo Plymouth theme. In fact, it is just a duplicate. Only the images got changed, and double-sized. That way I'm pretty sure it's technically okay and there's nothing missing.

Download and easy installation instructions: SebastJava/plymouth-theme-mint-3

Compatible with Linux Mint 21. Automated installation.

Extras: login screens and menu icons

Included in the installation processes are 3 login screens and 3 menu icons. Feel free to use them or not.
  • The extra icons are in /usr/share/icons/SebastJava-logo.
  • The login wallpapers are in /usr/share/backgrounds.

Perhaps I could have achieved the same results in a much simpler way. Using something like this:

Code: Select all

Transition=merge-fade
TransitionDuration=2.0
I don't know. The problem here, as usual, is that i am having a hard time trying to find some info on this two-step Plymouth module. I just played safe by replacing only the images, not modifying anything into the engine parameters.

My current version 1.0 works perfectly as is... All i am saying is that maybe i could have got the same results with much less trouble. I don't know if that could be possible or not.
