Comments are very welcome. Feel free to make suggestions to improve this Theme.Last changelog:
2.0.1 * fixed logo position
2.0.0 * switched to a new variante, based on the Kubuntu Lucid Simple Splash Screen. The "old" Ethias ist still available * used excactly the settings from plymouth to adjust the images. it now "should" look excactly like the plymouth
1.2.0 * changed the background image a bit. Now matching the Kubuntu Lucid wallpaper
1.1.0 * changed the input fields to matching plymouth style
Together with a self-made GRUB theme it makes the transition from turning on the computer to the final desktop so elegant and smooth. Who needs a Mac then? :P
Would it be possible for you to create a screen saver of this style as well? Having the blue color and the kubuntu logo randomly changing position, similar to the Windows Vista screen saver? Would be much appreciated. :)
I really like it. So I have the nice Kubuntu boot splash, then comes the similar looking kdm screen, after that the nice KDE splash screen and finally my desktop. So it is a so-convenient look :)
But, is it possible to remove the kubuntu icon or at least the five dots below it in the kdm theme? It looks a bit weird and unneccessary, as there is no progress going on. Still my favorite :)
1. My layout doesn't quite work, the entry boxes go too far left and the icons are overlapping out of the login area onto the background
2 - I'm not sure I like the black background, can that be changed or can you release a version with the lighter background as per the first screenshot?
3 - Perhaps just not to your taste, but my girlfriend and I always prefer when there's a list of users to click on, it's much quicker than having to type the names in.
Really nice though, I hope it goes into Kubuntu, it's a shame to have inconsistent artwork across plymouth - kdm - splash - desktop.
1. Should now be fixed
2. A white variante is now available
3. I will have a look if this can be done with this layout. Please give me your ideas where to add a userlist and maybe how it could look like. At the moment i have no idea how it could look like.
I hope this will become part of kubuntu 10.04, too. Or the Kubuntu Art Team make another one which integrates well with plymouth.
Thanks, I will try out the new version this evening.
Re: user list, I liked the theme shipped with KDE 4.2 in this respect, see e.g.

I get a 404 error whenever I try to download this KDM. This makes me sad. The splash screen downloads just fine.
Nevermind. I had to click the "click here" link rather than waiting for the countdown.

But maybe with a think input bar for name and for password it's cooler :)
