Hi Ray,
Thanks a lot for the help with the color changing.
One more thing I haven't quite figured out, is the distribution name at the end
of the line.
How can I make it show?
Thanks,
Tibby

0x000000 is black.

0xffffffff is white.

0xcc0000 is light red.

0x700000 is dark red.
These numbers are just like html colors but with 0x in front instead of #
Don't be dissuaded by the color swatch names (PLY_TERMINAL_COLOR_BLUE
or whatever). Those are just symbolic names. I used descriptive
names like COLOR_BLUE, COLOR_BLACK etc instead of COLOR_1, COLOR_2, in
the API because terminals historically have used specific colors in
specific positions by default.

well, it's a theme file. The one you're looking at is here:
/usr/share/plymouth/theme/text/text.plymouth
It's not meant to be edited by administrators, though. It's used by
theme authors. And it doesn't currently expose those three colors.
Basically what needs to happen is:
- create_plugin needs to call ply_key_file_get_value() 3 times (once
for each new key in text.plymouth, and stuff those 3 values into the
plugin structure.
- Then those three values need to get used in the function quoted in
this thread instead of the hard coded numbers.
