Re: User contributed splash themes
So, you might be asking yourself: how can I create a splash theme?
Complicated answer: covered by a series of blog posts that are linked in the MX Boot options HELP file. My goal is to work through all that one of these days when I have nothing to do...
Simpler answer: you use the example plymouth plugin script "script.script" located in /usr/share/plymouth/themes/script/. Example:

Simpler answer: you use the example plymouth plugin script "script.script" located in /usr/share/plymouth/themes/script/. Example:
- Dolphin_Oracle created the striking theme mx-linux this way. I ran a diff on the original and his script.script for the new theme, and you can see the small number of changes that he made (first number of each section is the line number):We'll let him comment on those changes--I'm not sure there is much beyond the two image changes
Code: Select all
1c1 < # This is an example plymouth plugin script --- > # mx script theme, modified from debian script theme script.script 6c6 < logo.image = Image("special://logo"); --- > logo.image = Image("mx_wall_3_night.png"); 8c8,10 < logo.opacity_angle = 0; --- > logo.opacity_angle =0; > mx_logo.image = Image("MX-logo.png"); > mx_logo.sprite = Sprite(mx_logo.image); 14,18c16,20 < logo.opacity_angle += ((2 * 3.14) / 50) * 0.5; # 0.5 HZ < min_opacity = 0.3; < opacity = (Math.Cos(logo.opacity_angle) + 1) / 2; < opacity *= 1 - min_opacity; < opacity += min_opacity; --- > # logo.opacity_angle += ((2 * 3.14) / 50) * 0.5; # 0.5 HZ > # min_opacity = 0.3; > # opacity = (Math.Cos(logo.opacity_angle) + 1) / 2; > # opacity *= 1 - min_opacity; > # opacity += min_opacity; 21c23,26 < logo.sprite.SetOpacity (opacity); --- > logo.z = -10000; > mx_logo.sprite.SetX (Window.GetX() + Window.GetWidth() / 2 - mx_logo.image.GetWidth() / 2); > mx_logo.sprite.SetY (Window.GetY() + Window.GetHeight() / 2 - mx_logo.image.GetHeight() / 2); > # logo.sprite.SetOpacity (opacity);
- image files being used must be placed in the same folder
- a rewritten plymouth file (here: mx-linux.plymouth) needs to be created with the crucial middle section pointing to locations:
Code: Select all
[Plymouth Theme] Name=Script Description=Script example plugin. ModuleName=script [script] ImageDir=/usr/share/plymouth/themes/mx-linux ScriptFile=/usr/share/plymouth/themes/mx-linux/script.script [script-env-vars] example_env_var=example env var value
- User Gerson first found the beautiful animated theme dandelion, and switched the logo. We then substituted a different logo and deleted the existing Debian one. Ta-dah!

Use the MX logo to add it to this Plymouth theme, Peter-Rabbit; It's not my responsibility, I just modified it, you can download it from this link.

Re: User contributed splash themes
... if someone is looking for ideas...
I have a custom boot splash, lightdm login screen, and lock screen. But the reason isn't vanity or pride. Haha.
I have a rule: Any portable device that leaves my home or office must bear my e-mail address, cellphone number and reward offer for its safe return.
Instead of a sticker on the case of my MX tablet, I decided to display that info on the screen using customized art work (not very flexible).
I bet I'm not the only person who does this.
A smarter guy than I am could probably script-up an MX feature that would allow any user to display custom text on their boot, login, and lock screens.
Son, someday all this will belong to your ex wife.
Re: User contributed splash themes
I'm not sure if that was the intention with the MX Linux logo, but when I see it, I see a windmill behind two hills. So I made a simple boot splash, using the existing dandelion-mx theme, somewhat building on that idea :)
I uploaded the theme to GitHub: https://github.com/proskehy/MXLinux_Windmill

Re: User contributed splash themes
Thanks very much for the contribution! We'll take a look.
On the logo: it combines the pyramids from the old Mepis logo with the X of antiX.
Oh: and welcome to the Forum!

Re: User contributed splash themes
Welcome.
Jerry, I thought they were pyramids originally, not mountains.

Yeah, meant that. Was too early in the am.
