copy of the default ubuntustudio plymouth theme/script (and .plymouth file edited to reference the '/suade/' folder) but pngs replaced to match the Suade and SuadeWM wallpaper (https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1175924/):

1. download/unzip/copy folder '/suade/' into folder /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ (the existing location of default schemes e.g. '/ubuntustudio-logo/') to make them plymouth-accessible. it contains the suade.plymouth theme file
2. overwrite the default.plymouth link in /etc/alternatives/ to point to the 'suade' theme file: (terminal sudo ln -sf /usr/share/plymouth/themes/suade/suade.plymouth /etc/alternatives/default.plymouth
3. tell the kernel about the change: (terminal sudo update-initramfs -u
4. (optional change the default desktop wallpaper to Suade/SuadeWM wallpaper for seamless background transition from boot/splash to login
5. (reboot)
