Finally! The plymouth bootsplash you've always wanted, to impress friends, co-workers, confidants, the elderly, etc.! They will think you are booting into a certain popular OS, but they will be wrong!
Now the theme is semi-configurable. Images were created or modified using GIMP or Inkscape, from publicly available sources (like Wikipedia). I've included some svg files that I used so that you can make your own png images from them if you so choose.
##################### INSTALLATION ##########################
(UPDATED INSTRUCTIONS) On Fedora:
You'll need to extract as root, to /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ and then run:
plymouth-set-default-theme --rebuild-initrd 7
On Ubuntu (thanks Schiwi):
sudo tar xzvf 7-0.2.tar.gz -C /lib/plymouth/themes/
sudo sed -i 's//usr/share///lib//g' /lib/plymouth/themes/7/7.plymouth
sudo rm /etc/alternatives/default.plymouth
sudo ln -s /lib/plymouth/themes/7/7.plymouth /etc/alternatives/default.plymouth
sudo update-initramfs -u -k all
##################### CONFIGURATION ##########################
As root, open /usr/share/plymouth/themes/7/7.script with your favorite editor. Instructions on customizing the theme are in the top portion of the file. You may need to rerun this in order to see changes. You may not.

##################### CHANGELOG ##########################
0.1 - Initial Release
0.2 - CONFIGURABLE!
- Fixed the issue with displaying startup and shutdown text
- Made text configurable
- Made backgrounds configurable
- Added ability to display image at bottom which is also configurable
- Slowed down the animation to more match what Windows 7 does
- Some code cleanup (still a bit messy though)

ls -l /etc/alternatives/default.plymouth | tr -s " " | cut -d " " -f 10 > `pwd`/backup/plymouth
then you can undo it with
PLYMOUTH=$(cat `pwd`/backup/plymouth)
ln -sf $PLYMOUTH /etc/alternatives/default.plymouth
rm -Rf /lib/plymouth/themes/7
This will work for Ubuntu, note the paths

In the second time don't insult peoples for what they loves/dislike.
Third: Why do we have to love this theme who present the logo of the privacy society, if it was an animal or a landscape I would surelly love it, but a logo...
In the same idea you can put the cooca cola logo... I'm not a fan of those logos, and I'm using Gnu/Linux and not windows so I guess it's stupid to use their logo, it would be better to use their system if you like so much their compagnie...
Because I'm using Gnu/Linux I assume it, I don't lie to my friend with this fake bootsplash.

Makes sense.
Personally since plymouth seems to be lacking in participation, I'd love to see some innovation in a different area...
Nice work never the less.
