Arch-Wireframe for Plymouth

This is a Plymouth theme built using jcklpe's Plymouth Animated Boot Screen Creator. I adapted an original render by /u/RedPanda_UA to make a high resolution splash screen (1920x1080). It runs at 15fps due to file restraints in Plymouth, but the theme itself is much larger than a static splash screen. The original animation was 2 seconds and ran at 60fps, so the theme would have been like 120MB if I didn't cut any frames. Either way, it runs perfectly on my low-end laptop, so I hope that it works for you too. The frames located in /arch-wireframe/animation also make for dank wallpapers, although /u/RedPanda_UA has uploaded 4k versions without mp4 artifacts.

Installation

Since this is a theme for Arch, I assume that you're using it. If you're on another distro and want to pretend like you installed Arch, keep in mind that Plymouth has a dependency on some other distros called

plymouth-themes

that is required to customize your splash screen.

Dependencies:

You need Plymouth, obviously.

yay -S plymouth
