Re-creation of Windows Vista and Windows 7 boot screens and shutdown screens from their original assets. Designed to be used with VistaThemePlasma, AeroThemePlasma.
Special thanks to blacklightpy for the Vista boot screen code.
Special thanks to catpswin56 for VTP and accepting my merge request that merges this theme to their repository.
This project is a fan-made labor of love that sees absolutely no profit whatsoever, donations or otherwise.
You need plymouth, plymouth-scripts and plymouth-plugin-script packages.
If you want to use the Windows 7 variant of this theme, please make sure to install ImageMagick for generating blur effect on the shutdown screen.
You need Segoe UI and Lucida Console from a Windows installation. These fonts must be installed as system-wide fonts.
If you want to modify some of the text (e.g. Show "Starting Linux" instead of "Starting Windows" on the Windows 7 boot screen or make your own Windows 9 boot screen) make sure to check ./src/plymouth_config.sp before running compile.sh for ease of finding the configuration section.
Warning
This theme is only tested on Fedora Linux and Arch Linux.
Copy this script for installation:
git clone https://github.com/furkrn/PlymouthVista
cd PlymouthVista
chmod +x ./compile.sh ; chmod +x ./install.sh
./compile.sh ; sudo ./install.shYou might need to update initramfs again, if you persist in flickering systemd messages at boot. Simply use dracut --force --omit plymouth --regenerate-all --verbose. (At least on my system.)
