You can see, there is pixels theme in directory. But, I can't set it.

I am using Fedora, Gnome on Wayland.

sd-encrypt password prompt doesn't show up. Have to press escape to get the regualar startup prompt. It does work with plymouth-encrypt.

As it does work with other themes, (tried manjaro), the issue must be in this theme set specifically

https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/bootanimations-collection.3721978/

There are alot of OEM themes. But no HP one. Add it please?

Hi there !

A few weeks apart, I randomly stumbled upon https://github.com/vinceliuice/grub2-themes and https://github.com/adi1090x/plymouth-themes

Playing with both of these projects, I noticed that some GRUB themes go very well with some Plymouth themes, for instance GRUB Tela with Plymouth Pixels. :-)

So I thought "Why not offer a bundle of presets, combining matching themes" ?

NOTE: This is not an issue but a resource to install all the themes in the github repository. This is just for the people who want to install all the themes, feel free to close this "issue" if you want :)

However it would be nice to include a shell equivalent of this script or include this script in the repository :)

Requirements:

pip3
python3

Install dependencies

pip3 install colorama

Copy the script over to the base dir of the repo, (where the readme and license is) and run with

python3 install_themes.py

import os
from subprocess import run  
from colorama import Fore as fc, init
init(autoreset=True)

folders = ['pack_1', 'pack_2', 'pack_3', 'pack_4']

print('\n')

# To get sudo access
print(fc.CYAN + '? ' + fc.LIGHTWHITE_EX + 'Enter your password to get sudo access: ')
run('sudo ls .', capture_output=True, shell=True)

print('\n')

for pack in folders:
    
    for theme in os.listdir(f'./{pack}'):
        print(fc.BLUE + '-> ' + fc.RESET + f'Installing theme {theme}')
        theme_location = os.path.realpath(f'{pack}/{theme}')
        output = run(f'sudo cp -r {theme_location} /usr/share/plymouth/themes/', capture_output=True, shell=True)
        if output.returncode != 0:
            print(fc.RED + 'Failed installing theme\n')
            print(output.stderr.decode('utf-8'))
            exit(1)
        else:
            print(fc.GREEN + f'Successfully installed {theme}\n')
        pass
 
# Set the theme with sudo plymouth-set-default-theme -r <theme_name>

When using multimonitors and/or multiresolutions, the following Bug is applicable and well documented. In short, images are no longer correctly centered based on improper calculation.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-settings/+bug/1969984

There are some AMAZING themes in this repo, however for those of us with more varied setups we cannot use them.
A better method of calculation is shown in the above referenced bug. It would be awesome if you might consider incorporating that in to this collection.

It is likely that this issue is referencing this as well

I've an encrypted boot volume and it doesn't ask me for the unlock password. I have to press esc every time.

By clicking ,,Album" the link (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/p/44845) is unavalable.

Can the motions be split into throbbers and animations so that they do not end inbetween a complete cycle.

Hi, thanks for making this super cool collection of boot themes available. Is it possible to include custom watermark / logo. Following this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/plymouth#Adding_Arch_Logo_to_spinner_and_BGRT_themes I tried copying the Arch Logo to hud_space theme but nothing changed. Please let me know.

Just a tiny error, in the description of the project it says a "hugh" collection. Not too sure if its intentional or not tho

I installed the theme and it doesn't appear to work for me.
How do I uninstall it?
I would like to remove both plymouth and the theme from my Arch installation.

Would it be possible to provide the method/files on how you created the animations? I'd like to change the colors of one to better match my setup :)

I want to create a custom theme for myself and don't know how to. can you please guide me how to create one or have a program/app/web which i can use to create one

Why is this under GPLv3? this makes it overcomplicated on redistribution!

Me and a friend are at the begin of creating a linux distro and wanted to use one of this themes, could you please explain how to do this?

I mean, while this is GPLv3 and literally everything that we want to use (even the linux kernel) is licensed under GPLv2. And i read that this two licenses aren't compatible... So how should we use this? are we by your opinion even allowed to use this in a public distribution?

Please explain this!

When using BGRT (the default Plymouth theme) the correct password prompts are shown.
For instance, it shows the message from Systemd specifying if I can use a LUKS2 password/passsphrase/TPM2 PIN/etc. It also shows the device it asks it for.

Most themes I have tested in the repo, there was only an "Enter password" prompt, so I do not know which method I should use and for which design.

Also, there is no keyboard layout and Caps Lock indicator shown.

It would be cool if these hints were carried over from Systemd, just like BGRT does for a better UX.

Would it be possible to write up a script that would run on computer boot to change the theme to something random so that next time you boot up your computer it was a different random theme? Love this project though, super cool stuff!

What programming language are these themes written in? I'm using colorful_sliced and want to change the colors of the text when entering my cryptlvm password. Currently it shows in white and I'd like to color both the line that prompts for password and the bullet.image characters that are echoed on screen when entering the password. I think I might just change:

bullet.image = Image.Text("$", 1, 1, 1);
prompt.image = Image.Text("fRAME.wORK cRYPT pASSW0RD>>>", 1, 1, 1);

As I believe the 1,1,1 might contain color values; but as you can tell I'm already over my head. I'd really love to have multiple colors in each, like a rainbow, but thats not needed. :P

PS, thanks for porting these over from the Android collection - super awesome!

See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/plymouth/plymouth/-/tree/master/themes . This makes it impossible to install https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/plymouth-theme-glow-git/ due to filesystem conflicts. Maybe it should be renamed to glow_alt, I've seen that there is also spinner_alt (and spinner is a builtin theme too)

hi I'm using your template for my own theme (thanks for the resource, by the way) but I had trouble with it not showing until I looked over it and realized I never put in number values in template.script

I think that needs commenting as well as substituting the value for "NUM"

thanks

When calling plymouth-set-default-theme to set the plymouth theme In FC31 it gives an error If the package plymouth-plugin-script is not installed.

$ sudo plymouth-set-default-theme -R abstract_ring
/usr/lib64/plymouth/script.so does not exist

A note should be included in the installing section advising about that case.

How to fix it:
$ sudo dnf install plymouth-plugin-script -y

Any way to make these animations show on both monitors?
Really liking the themes btw

Hello & thanks for the awesome themes.

It seems the link to preview themes (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/p/44845) is no longer working.

Hello,
I have created a repo called GifSaver.
It can be used to set any GIF file as a screensaver when the user is idle for some time.

Can I mention your Plymouth theme GIFs (Along with your name and link to this repo) in my repository?

Hi,

I just installed the colorful-loop theme from the aur. It works perfectly on shutdown but on login (with luks encryption) I get the default prompt providid with plymouth.

Would you know what I am doing wrong?

My plymouthd.conf:

[Daemon]
Theme=colorful_loop
ShowDelay=0
DeviceTimeout=5

mkinitcpio hooks:

HOOKS=(base systemd sd-plymouth autodetect keyboard sd-vconsole modconf block sd-encrypt filesystems)

This package is great. Thank you for sharing your efforts! But I have a problem. Other Plymouth themes get nicely centered upon booting but the one I would like to use here (connect) does not. Any idea how to troubleshoot this?

https://www.buymeacoffee.com/p/44845

I tried to follow the following steps:

#make sure you have the packages for plymouth
sudo apt install plymouth

#after downloading or cloning themes, copy the selected theme in plymouth theme dir
sudo cp -r angular /usr/share/plymouth/themes/

#install the new theme (angular, in this case)
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth default.plymouth /usr/share/plymouth/themes/angular/angular.plymouth 100

#select the theme to apply
sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
(choose the number to the installed theme, angular in this case)

#update initramfs
sudo update-initramfs -u

It works with the preinstalled themes, But when I select a newly installed one, I just get my Dell logo until the login screen

Plymouth works during the reboot or shutdown process, but not on boot?

Could this be similar to this: https://forum.garudalinux.org/t/correct-plymouth-boot-theme-not-showing-up-on-boot/

If so, please tell me what the Ubuntu-specific steps are?

Thank you in advance

I'm a Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon Edition user, and I've been using your Plymouth theme 'colorful_sliced'. I recently encountered an issue where the theme displays with an offset across both screens on my dual-screen setup.

After extensive research and experimentation, I managed to find a workaround by replacing "Window.GetX()" with "Window.GetX(0)" and "Window.GetY()" with "Window.GetY(0)"in the theme's script (lines 36 and 37), which centers the animation on both screens.

However, I'm keen to understand more about the values for functions like 'Window.GetX()' and 'Window.GetY()' used in Plymouth scripts. The official documentation lacks specific details, and online searches haven't provided clarity.

I'd appreciate your insights and if possible, testing this solution on your system.

Thank you for your contributions to the open-source community.

Awesome work!
Could you render these at larger resolutions (like 1080p and 2160p 4K)?
Otherwise, could you give us any instructions on how to do so?
Cheers.

I have two monitors, one is plugged to a nvidia card and the other one is plugged to the motherboard integrated graphics, when i apply the new theme with sudo plymouth-set-default-theme theme -R it only shows up on the monitor with integrated graphics but the default theme shows up just fine on both monitor.

I'm on Fedora 33
