[lubuntu-users] any way to change startup animation?

[Eric Bradshaw]

Thank you Eric.  You say you only change the splash screen.  Do you mean
you change everything? I'd like to learn how to do it, but if it's a
tedious tutorial, then thanks anyway.
God bless!

Marlon Ng,

I wouldn't be making a tutorial as I don't actually change the animation. So, I'm afraid I don't know *all about it.* I just do a fairly simple change. The dots that seem to move like LED lights turning on and off in a row (the animated part) remain the same in my version. I change the (static) image above them (This is my changed image: http://www.computers4christians.org/C4C.html). But believe the same principles(?) would apply.

There are four images located in 
usr/share/plymouth/themes/lubuntu-logo and two of them are the dots that are *animated,* two are the static images I change.

I think you can make changes to the splash screen, including the animation - and just use update-initramfs -u afterwards for the changes to take effect. This is, at least how I did it.

There are quite a few tutorials on how to change the splash screen. I would think you'll want to find one made in 2014 or 2015 that references Ubuntu 14.xx (I haven't found any for 16.04 yet) and replace the location of those four graphics with the one I give above as Plymouth has moved in 16.04.

This is Ubuntu's main Plymouth page.
