Hi,
At first I thought nobody would be able to theme plymouth except it's
makers.
So seeing this plugin in the works is awesome, really cool stuff,
unfortunately I have no idea how to make it do what I want... or anything
really... :-)
I understand that it's a little early to worry about documentation at this
point.
I was hoping to do a couple simple themes, for example an OS X like logo in
the center with a simple throbber under it,
or a Windows like logo in the center with a pulsing progressbar/throbber at
the bottom of the screen,
but I couldn't find any examples that used a throbber. They all seem to use
a normal progressbar.
Any help, examples would be much appreciated.
Oh, I also found that using spinfinity with a simple round throbber would
make it switch directions on every pass?
Is there any way to stop that? and make it go the same direction over and
over.
Thanks.

If you have installed from git, then there is an example theme (called script)
installed, which does a simple throbber.
Take a look at /usr/share/plymouth/themes/script/script.script
I wrote a very rough guide to most of the elements involved in the language
here:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Plymouth/Scripts
There are two more examples I played around with if you want to see some
examples:

You could edit the code and add a theme setting to choose between roundrobin or
backforth.
Or use the script plugin to make a new theme. There was a spinfinity scripted
plugin already made but I removed it from git:
