Framework-spinner

Thank you sniss for making this gif!

Installation

Backup your Plymouth themes folder

sudo cp -r /usr/share/plymouth/themes/. /usr/share/plymouth/themes-bak/

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/Player6734/Framework-plymouth.git /home/$USER/Downloads/framework-plymouth

cd into it

cd /home/$USER/Downloads/framework-plymouth

Remove old throbber files

Note: This step might vary depending on your theme setup. Check if your Plymouth theme contains a 'spinner' directory and manually verify the files to be deleted.

sudo find /usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner -type f -name 'throbber-*' -delete

Copy all of the throbber files to the 'spinner' folder of the plymouth theme

This copies the new throbber files to your Plymouth 'spinner' directory.

sudo cp -r Throbber-frames/. /usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner/

Apply changes to the kernel

Update the kernel to apply the changes. It is recommended to backup your kernel configuration as a precaution.

sudo dracut --force -v

Clean up the git repo downloaded

rm -rf /home/$USER/Downloads/framework-plymouth

For Fedora and OpenSUSE users

These are the two only distro where I've tested the commands. if the command sudo find /usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner -type f -name 'throbber-*' outputs around 30 files then it should work.

(all the commands above chained)

sudo cp -r /usr/share/plymouth/themes/. /usr/share/plymouth/themes-bak/ ; git clone https://github.com/Player6734/Framework-plymouth.git /home/$USER/Downloads/framework-plymouth ; cd /home/$USER/Downloads/framework-plymouth ; sudo find /usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner -type f -name 'throbber-*' -delete ; sudo cp -r Throbber-frames/. /usr/share/plymouth/themes/spinner/ ; cd ; sudo dracut --force -v ; rm -rf /home/$USER/Downloads/framework-plymouth
