How do I change my boot theme? [closed]

asked 2011-09-30 11:18:28 -0600

I understand there are many themes out there for the software called Plymouth, but I'm not clear on how to actually change the theme.

Run these commands as root:

# plymouth-set-default-theme <plymouth theme>
# dracut --force

And then, restart your computer

This one worked for me, all others didn't work. Make sure install the theme (yum install plymouth-theme-xxx) before running these commands

The following command would show the available themes:

# plymouth-set-default-theme --list
charge
details
text

Install your favorite theme, I have installed solar for example:

yum install plymouth-theme-solar

Now list again

# plymouth-set-default-theme --list
charge
details
solar
text

Now to set a new theme, just do:

# sudo plymouth-set-default-theme solar

and

# sudo /usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-update-initrd

then

# reboot

Works, but you need to add/remove rhgb to grub kernel line.

You must rebuild your grub config as well or your changes will not be visible.

sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

On Fedora 20 it is:

# sudo plymouth-set-default-theme <plymouth theme> -R

and reboot

you have to make a vga declaration in grub.conf
