Nice, but I’d like to keep the current one because this one doesn’t show all these things starting up.

the screenshot looks nice, however, i’m unable to run it on ubuntu edgy amd64. Could you please make it compatible or perhaps post the source?

i’ve been looking for new usplash themes and in the many i’ve found it has become obvious that this splash engine (usplash) doesn’t support animations like bootsplash does (mng files). all it’s capable of is drawing a progress bar. while the progress bar is better here than what i’ve experience in bootsplash, it will get a bit off once one has done something to optimize the system into booting faster than the normal. so the progressbar doesn’t get adjusted. at 70% (this point before i optimized) my ubuntu is already starting the X server. would be better if there was just an animated object making loops until the end of the boot phase is reached. this way it won’t look like something went wrong since there’s a big space left in the progress bar.
