Another variation of MX boot animation ... MX Into Focus
Half way through this gif, the startup turns to the shutdown animation.
You can download the boot animation and put into place from here:

And a color variation is here:
The ‘starting image’ is here ( I called it MXWild )
A gif of the splash here:

These are very nice themes, along with @Freja 's MXCreative and the already on iso MXImagine and MXLiveLogo, they are very well done and have a polish the older themes don't have.
They are big though.
I did a package with the three new themes, and the plymouth themes package went from 16 MB to 70 MB.
Here's a comparison of initrd sizes
6.12 kernel
MXLiveLogo - 128 MB
MXImagine - 128 MB
MXCreative - 142 MB
MXIntoFocus - 145 MB
MXIntoFocusColor - 154 MB
6.1 kernel
MXLiveLogo - 75 MB
MXImagine - 76 MB
MXCreative - 89 MB
MXIntoFocus - 94 MB
MXIntoFocusColor - 101 MB

Thank you! And yes they are big... is there a target size that you are looking for? perhaps we can do some serious optimizing on them.

Updated MXIntoFocusColor plymouth theme.
- Changed image format, kept image scale, decreased disk size to 1/3
( The theme is now 10mb down from 30mb )
