How to custom our owen plymouth theme
summary
Plymouth is a bootsplash that uses DRM/KMS and ships inside the initrd; themes combine a scene file and a plugin, usually either a simple frame-by-frame sequence or the script plugin (C/JS-like) that creates images, sprites, Z-ordering and messages. Build workflow: edit theme files, ensure images are PNG only, resize to screen, run dracut -f (regenerate initramfs), then test with plymouth on a VM or via SSH; enable debug to dump script errors and runtime diagnostics.
