Changing Spinfinty Background Color

[Trapper]

I'm using the plymouth spinfinity at startup. Any pointers concerning how I can change the background color?

When using rhgb in F8 & 9 I simply edited the background lines in colors.c in the rhgb source rpm. Can't seem to find what I need to edit to change the spinfinity background color in F10 though.

I successfully managed to change the background color for spinfinity. It's a PITA but works for me. I am sure there's a much more logical way to do it than how I did it but I'm not logical and have not figured it out yet:

First I hacked the spec file in the plymouth source rpm. I was wanting a solid black background. There were 3 background color related lines. Because I don't know what I'm doing I just changed all 3 in the %configure section.. Here's the old code and new code:


OLD CODE
--with-background-start-color-stop=0x0073B3 \
--with-background-end-color-stop=0x00457E \
--with-background-color=0x3391cd

NEW CODE
--with-background-start-color-stop=0x000000 \
--with-background-end-color-stop=0x000000 \
--with-background-color=0x000000 \
\

I then did an rpmbuild with the altered spec. That gave me a new source rpm and all the plymouth package rpms.

I then uninstalled all the currently installed plymouth packages. The uninstall also removed gdm, gdm-user-switch-applet, and mkinitrd.

Then I did an local install of all the newly created package rpms. Gdm was installed as a dependency.

Then I did a yum install of gdm-user-switch-applet and mkinitrd.

Then, as su in a terminal I ran this:

# plymouth-set-default-plugin spinfinity
# /usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-update-initrd

As I said, there's probably a much smarter, abbreviated and simpler way to do this. I don't know it though and this worked for me.
