My progress dot on and logo if you wish to get a similar look I just dont like the orange dot

Just updated my .deb
* Progress is now the same color as used in the logo
* Minor tweaks to the logo itself (transparant background)
Download location is unchanged

Thank you! Just what i needed to finish my current setup!
Could I be a pain though? I modded the full screen OEM logo on my BIOS but it doesn't quite match, could I possibly borrow the source file that you used to create the splash?
The current BIOS logo i have been using i created in 16:9 then resized (squished) to a 800x600 4bit .bmp, so when it displays on my plasma it has the correct AR. Is this possible with this loading screen?
I would like to try and match it up as much as possible (obviously without the loading bar on the BIOS logo).

The plymouth theme is installed to /lib/plymouth/themes/xbmc-logo, so all the "source" files are in that dir
basically what you want to do to get a matching bios screen is :
* create an empty BMP, background color black, matching the size of your plymouth splash screen,
* copy/paste xbmc_logo.png to the absolute center of it
* resize the complete picture to whatever resolution your bios wants to have.

excyle, this is awesome!
there's only one thing that's keeping me from installing it, I'm on lucid x64

If you re-download the deb it should install on X64 as well now

after I apt-get installed plymouth-label it worked like a charm on 64bit lucid, thanks so much for this!
only thing left is that I have to find out what changes I did previously to the graphic boot process because the animation looks a little like 16bit CGA
add.: okay I tried the stuff from http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=562...stcount=13 to the letter and GRUB comes in glorious (...) 1280x720 (was a bit cautious and did not want to go the full 1080p at first try) but afterwards there comes a really quick "....fatal...inserting...vesafb..." something warning and the usual ubuntu bootup animation until terminal, xbmc not autostarting anymore
guess I'll try a dpkg-reconfigure of the nvidia-current next to see if there's a problem
add.: that didn't fix it but at least I can still manually log-in and start XBMC so no serious damage done
somebody has an idea what went wrong and how I can fix this?
