MacX Usplash Theme
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
This is my first attempt at a usplash theme. It uses custom animation to get the feel of a mac osx box booting - with the osx spinner. There are 4 different resolution images for use - 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1280x800, and 1440x900. Not sure about getting the widescreen resolutions to work but the 4:3 resolutions work. The default resolution is 1024x768.
*** Added a second theme that will morph the gray apple into a colorized Ubuntu logo.
You can change the code: static int spinner_speed = 2; to a number between 1 and 25 to throttle the speed at which the spinner spins. There are 12 images in the spinner, so a value of 2 will make the spinner go round approximately once per second since the animation function gets called 25 times per second. Of course a larger value will make it move slower.
THANKS
==================================================
A big thanks to the linux community and the authors of other usplash themes for which I learned from reading the code. Also huge thanks to the theme developers as I would not have any graphics if it was not for them.
I am sorry I can't remember who in particular to thank for the insights into the code and the graphics. If you email me I will most certainly give you credit.
QUICK INSTALL (No compiling needed)
==================================================
Included is the splash lib. You can get running quickly by:
1. make install
2. reboot
QUICK BUILD AND INSTALLATION
==================================================
The make file will take care of building, installing and regenerating initrd so the new splash takes effect on reboot.
1. make
2. sudo make install
3. reboot
MANUAL BUILD AND INSTALLATION
==================================================
You will need to appropriate libs and compiler to install.
1. make
2. copy macx-splash.so to your desired location
3. update /etc/alternatives/usplash-artwork.so to point to macx-splash.so
4. regenerate initrd
5. reboot
**** Note: after make and make install you can do 'sudo make test' to see it without rebooting.
**** Note: You will need to have build tools (gcc, make, etc) installed. In addition you will need usplash dev installed (apt-get install libusplash-dev)
Enjoy!!

Anyone have any ideas what is causing this? It looks like the y coordinate jumps up a pixel?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

However, it still appears to jump up a pixel at the last frame of the spinner. I will have to look into that when I get more time.
