Description

Plymouth can draw an animated boot during DDL startup. Currently we have a DDL theme that is just the previous boot drawing (witch and knight) plus our new logo, the toucan, winking ;). We can do much more interesting things for sure!

As Plymouth is using a scripting language to make the animation, nearly everything is possible. I propose the following tasks to achieve our animated boot:

  1. define a short scenario
  2. make a demonstration movie (movie file or animated gif or similar)
  3. provide the movie elements (sprites)
  4. program the Plymouth script

Information on how to write a Plymouth theme can be found on Charlie Brej's blog:

We can also analyze existing themes :).
