I got a chance to try it, and there was one problem in lf2-davis.plymouth file (wrong directories).

Code:

[script]
ImageDir=/usr/share/plymouth/themes/lf2-davis
ScriptFile=/usr/share/plymouth/themes/lf2-davis/lf2-davis.script

One can fix it by creating a link in usr/share with

sudo ln -s /lib/plymouth /usr/share/plymouth

or by just changing the "/usr/share/" part in the 2 lines to "/lib/".


About the theme itself, I expected more than just the loading screen, but it still looks pretty cool! I hope to see this being turned into a full-fledged theme in the future.

Keep it up!

Thank you, fixed the path in the lf2-davis.plymouth file.

I thought that Plymouth was just the boot screen, can it be more than that?

Anyway, this was just an experiment, I have no intention to do anything else here. ^^

I don't know anything about Plymouth myself, but I remember looking it up when I tried this. First result was an example on using Plymouth to change the wallpaper (not that one can't change that normally). So I thought that perhaps everything can be customized.

Good job, nevertheless. I'll be keeping it for a while =D

Edit: It turns out you're right. The wallpaper change was to that of the boot splash screen as well. The thread title could be less misleading though if you add "boot splash" or something to it.
