Green version: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Green+Hardy+Usplash?content=78760
Orange version: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Orange+Hardy+Usplash?content=78761
Installation
The following tool is probably the most user-friendly method.
$ sudo apt-get install startupmanager
Be sure to set the resolution to 1024x768.
Add the blue_ubuntu/hardy_usplash.so file under Manage usplash themes
Widescreen
Startupmanager doesn't support those resolutions so you have to do something else.
Start by adding the .so file as previous described. Don't mind the resolution.
$sudo apt-get install hwinfo
$sudo hwinfo --framebuffer
Look for your optimal resolution 24bit.
Remember the mode number of that resolution. (On my system 1440x900 24 bit is mode 0x365)
$sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
Look for your kernel, a line like this
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-12-generic xxx ro splash vga=0x365
Change the vga parameter to your framebuffer mode.
$sudo gedit /etc/usplash.conf
Change to your resolution
Hope you enjoy it. Last changelog:

thanks its very nice but I think it would be better if the background of the progress bar would be in a nice color accept white. Anyway could you make an usplash of with my dragon wallpaper? Or explain step by step how to make it? I still don't know how to make it. Thanks in advance.
im not getting any output from sudo hwinfo --framebuffer actually i do but its just scrolling thru some lines too quickly for me to see and in the end i get a blank line anyone know what the code for 1680x1050 is? gutsy/amd64
Thank you for making a different resolution for me :) It works. It was a little off to the left, but I may just need to adjust my monitor.
a 1280 x 1024 version would be much appreciated. Good work. They look nice.
I've added the resolution. Not tested though, my screen does not support
