I want to make changes to my Feather-Spinner plymouth theme but can't get it to do what I want... Anyone familliar with Plymouth scripts?

This is likely the boot splash for Series 4.x

Do not like that flat look at all! Too much like Windows 10 for me, everything seems to be in a race to the bottom to look like Windows 10 these days! Happily it's changeable.

I'll add my 2 cents worth here ...

Like ptyerman, I don't like the spinning effect - reminds me of Win10 & makes me dizzy!!!

I prefer a progress bar - much better - as then you know roughly how much time you've got left to being fully booted ...

I tried the boot splash script you just posted but have to agree with [member=458]m654321[/member] that it gives a dizzy feeling.
..Not in a 'gonna fall down' sort of way but in a its a BIG circle versus monitor size.

Also, the reason I made the feather logo in mine in single-color is that the yellow-white (or pale blue-white) seems a little "weird" since the colors merge optically.

I could send you my Plymouth themes so you can try them but don't know where to upload or email them... You could try the progress bar precision I mentioned Wink. But, the 4-part spinner is cool to look at, I don't know how to make an animated GIF from it though. If someone is a Plymouth script "coder" I would like to try and put two overlapping spinners (one at 100% speed and a second at 50% for a cool visual effect). I failed when I tried *sad face* .

More text but important I think Wink : Concerning the "flat" look versus classic. I like both but 4.0 is a big step I think and a new look seems appropriate. Additionally, the "classic" feather is harder to replicate and scale. Single color or two-color logos are usually better for brand recognition and other things like cool t-shirts, coffee mugs or graffiti paintings on the Microsoft buildings... just joking Wink .
I would also change the logo text a little for the new era, I could make some tests if needed.
