Variation of Boot Animation

[Freja]

MX ImagineBoot (ver3)



More hypoallergenic latest version.
MX starts when shooting star runs on the pyramids and glittering stars in the sky.

If this version well accepted, we make actual Plymouth theme.
@CharlesV Brother! Our collaboration again.

That is a lot better, thanks. :)

Should NEVER be set as the default though, because of what I stated earlier. Some are very sensitive, after all.

Thanks, ImagineBoot is Variation(is little peaky taste). For default boot theme MXLive is better.

PS. My local friend comments to ImagineBoot. "This is like a hp's machine boot screen something".
About Default MXLive theme friend says "ah, Intel Inside".
But I think That's correct.

@CharlesV Brother! Our collaboration again.

Good morning Freja and looking forward to it. A question on the image though.. There are 'artifacts' all around the logo when its creating, I assume this is what your after ?

I thought the first one, with those flashing 'artifacts' was way cooler. ( just my preference ) . I do like it the smaller size.

[Freja]

@CharlesV artifact was reduced transparency by Eadwine’s pointing out. Ver2 was 100% transparency, Ver3 is 55%. artifacts(stars)
is necessary but not main element, I think Ver3 is correct answer.

I agree with your favorite Ver2, but "Flashy Risk" is better to avoid as much as possible.

I made Ver3 for actual Plymouth theme.
So 5 min after, I’ll attach .zip file for create Plymouth theme for you.

Sounds good. I will be traveling so it will be either late sunday or late monday before I can really look at it, but send it when your ready.

https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code ... spl5iR6puk

CharlesV tested on:
- Virtual Box (2)
- Fast Machines (2)
- Slow Machines (2)
- Old machines, with very low res (2)

I tested it on my modern machine, It looks very lightweight and stable.

We submit this MXImagine for the our MX-25 and later!
(This plymouth theme for "Default" or "New Option"? That will decide by Primary Dev team member.)

Installation and use of this theme appears to be responsible for breaking my system's ability to switch TTY and to get a graphical login screen on logout. Removing the theme and rebuilding the initramfs has not restored function.

I've done this three times now, so I'm relatively certain something is wrong with the theme.

hmm... k I shall see what I can find.

Thank you!
