In Fedora 10 there will be a new graphical startup program replacing RHGB[1].
Its called Plymouth and it starts even earlier than rhgb. You can see a demo of
the current default fedora startup here[2]. The system works on plugins to allow
different styles of splash screens. To play around with it I wrote a plugin
which uses components of the InvinXble theme and animates them. You can see a
video of this[3]. It is still work in progress but it does not seem too CPU
intensive. I kept the plugin pretty general so it should be easy to change it to
suit any theme.
What I would like is some feedback as to whether something like this is
desirable.
