Changeing boot animation on Manjaro - Anarethos - 12-31-2020

Hi everyone!

I would like to change the boot animation on Manjaro.

I installed "bootsplash-viewer" and "bootsplash-packer".

I used a script found on GitHub to create a new bootsplash animation.

I manually copied the created file to "/usr/lib/firmware/bootsplash-themes/custom/bootsplash" and I edited my "extlinux.conf" file to point there but it doesn't work.

Is there anything I forgot to do?

The animation works when using "bootsplah-viewer" to see it.

Thanks!

I'd take a look at plymouth conf and scripts too

Thanks!

Looks like I had to create a install hook and it to mkinitcpio.conf and rebuild the initramfs file.

It works now.
