plymouth-themes

This is a repository for making and consolidating plymouth themes primarily for use on the Rasbperry Pi

Installing Plymouth on Raspbian Jessie Lite:

Plymouth should already be installed on the full Raspbian, but if you're using Raspian Lite then you'll need to go through the following steps to enable it:

sudo apt-get install plymouth plymouth-themes

Install Raspberry Pi Foundation Pixel splash

sudo apt-get install pix-plym-splash

Enable in /boot/cmdline.txt

add quiet splash plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles on the same line

and remove plymouth.enable=0 if you're using retropie
