Welcome to ISS-sunrise

iss-sunrise is a plymouth animated boot screen that should work on any system that uses plymouth to display an image as the system boots and before the login screen. It is based on Earth-sunrise, but here, the earth is depicted as having lights on the ground, and when the sun rises it has a KDE logo.

original: ubuntu-sunrise then Earth-sunrise now ISS-sunrise

This is another modification of the awesome plymouth theme made by Andre "Osku" Schmidt This one uses actual images from the International Space Station to create the sundown and sunrise effect

code notes

==========

the "offset" variable is used to set the y position of the planet top. 0 would be center, positive values go down and negative to top of screen. (all parts should use this offset)

if you scroll past the image/sprite definitions, you see some *.start and *.end values. those say at which "progress-time" (from 0 to 1) that part will be faded in.

sunGlow also has .animStart/End "progress-time", to say when to move from .startPos to .endPos on the screen
