Splashes

What are the splashes?

Splashes are another way to greet the users before the log-in. They act like a progress bar for any application initialization, including the kernel itself. They were inspired from the Plymouth project, a kernel splash screen for Linux systems.

You can turn them on or off by kernel configuration, but you must reboot the kernel in order for the changes to take effect.

Can I create my own splash?

Yes! Consult the Splash Guide for more information.
