Custom Plymouth theme for Pop!_OS - black & minimal.

Plymouth - Black Pop!_OS startup.

I prefer my boot background to be fairly minimalistic, but still be slightly snazzy. This is a slight modification of the standard BGRT theme included in Pop's Plymouth install - the computers OEM logo will display in the centre, with a spinning icon below it (fancy!). The standard Ubuntu logo is replaced with a Pop!_OS logo for completeness, as the standard Spinner theme included in Pop still has the Ubuntu logo for some reason. (I actually run without it, so feel free to delete watermark.png if you want!)

To install, copy the pop folder to /usr/share/plymouth/themes. Run the following command in the terminal of your choice:

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth default.plymouth /usr/share/plymouth/themes/pop/pop.plymouth 110 && sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth

Then select the Pop option that shows in the terminal. Then all you need to do is run: sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth

Alternatively if you use systemd boot, you may need to run sudo update-initramfs -k all -u also - thanks lfom!

This will change the theme to your fancy new Pop branded startup!

Addtional info

Hi! Thanks for the theme. As I am using systemd-boot, it only started to show in the boot when I updated the initramfs using the command:

sudo update-initramfs -k all -u

You may want to add this to the ReadMe. Also, the Pop icon is kinda blurry, this is the one I use, from my rEFInd theme:
