SuSE Eleganter Bootsplash
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
Based on Cristian Rodriguez's SuSE Elegant theme, but supports many more resolutions. Also has small improvements to the graphics.
Get the matching KDM and KSplash themes for a consistent UI.
You can find the original SuSE Elegant theme at http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/SuSE+Elegant?content=117310.
To install:
% cd /etc/bootsplash/themes
% sudo tar xjf /path/to/SuSE-Eleganter-Bootsplash.tar.bz2
% sudo vi /etc/sysconfig/bootsplash
In this file, change THEME="openSUSE" to THEME="SuSE-Eleganter". Then finally:
% sudo /sbin/mkinitrd -v
That's it, it's installed. Reboot to see the splash screen.

Maybe with a wandering spotlight which finally catches the gecko?

Green is defiantly NOT my favorite color, and would love to get rid of it.

Instead of shrinking logo.png, I edited it and removed the camelion leaving the text.

Wait, have you rebuild your initrd?
You must call "plymouth-set-default-theme name-of-your-theme --rebuild-initrd".
Grub theme can also be customized with the Eleganter background image. Maybe I'll pack both themes and/or create rpms and upload them on weekend.

I'd customized the grub screen on my laptop a couple of installs ago (kubuntu 9.10 or so, I think), I just haven't gotten around to finding my notes on what I'd done to do it. Not that I expect to be the same now, but it would be a starting point.
Thanks for the info. Getting closer and closer to a unified startup. If only it were possible to change the BIOS splash screen, I'd be in heaven with a totally unified experience.

For before being adopted, you need to have SuSE-Elegant artwork for Grub through to splash screen.
You will also need to have some kind of progress bar/throbber/animation to show that the system has not locked up.

But, it'll be great to write a tiny little README file, just to tell what to do. I had to find an howto for Opensuse 10.2 -yes, 10.2 LMAO.
Thanks for sharing !
