So I've edited the color for the text plymouth but my console complains of not being able to display the ascii code I gave it. Is there a list somewhere of the background colors the next plymouth/console support?<br><br>

Ray,<br><br>Thanks for the response! I'd like to simply have a black background with the words "Bodhi Linux" in green. maybe some small other blinking dot/moving bar in green to let the user know the system is still booting.<br>

</div>Can you give a few more details about what you're trying to do?<br>
<br>
The source code for the "text" plymouth splash is in<br>
<br>
src/plugins/splash/text/plugin.c<br>
<br>
This plugin is run automatically when a graphical boot splash can't be loaded.<br>
<br>
It's the splash that has 3 competing colinear progress bars (written<br>
by Adam Jackson).<br>
<br>
As far as customization goes...<br>
<br>
Some of the splash plugins in plymouth support customization through<br>
their theme config files.<br>
<br>
For instance, the two-step plugin lets you specify a the theme config<br>
file where to align the animation on the screen,<br>
what directory to pull animation frames from, etc.<br>
<br>
The most customizable splash plugin is the "script" plugin (written by<br>
Charlie Brej). It has an embedded interpreter for a custom scripting<br>
language. A lot of third party themes use the script plugin since you<br>
can get a pretty advanced splash without writing any C code.<br>
<br>
The text splash plugin isn't customizable without changing the source<br>
code, however. If you explain what your end goal is, I can give you<br>
a run down on how you might get there.<br>
