too stupid to theme plymouth :(

[avx]

// Doesn't really fit anywhere, except my OTG, but since fewer people look there, I'll just post here - Mods, move as needed.

tl;dr: I don't get how theming plymouth works (in Gentoo), where are the settings stored?

normal version:
I'd like to use the 'spinfinity'-theme, BUT change the background to a single color (don't care if it's an image or just a hexcode), get rid of the Gentoo-logo (or replace it) and change the color of the loading bar at the bottom.

The default setup is already working, it shows a gray background (seems to be a gradient in vertical direction) and I have no clue where it takes that color/picture from(looked at all pictures coming with the ebuild, nothing relevant as far as I can tell).

/usr/share/plymouth/bizcom.png is a Gentoo logo which seems to be the one shown in the default setup, but I can't find a config referencing the picture nor something referencing the loading bar(which seems to be plain white).

So, am I just too stupid to understand the system, did I not look good enough for config files or what's up?

A second thought made me think about... SO YOU'RE USING THAT OVERWEIGHTED initramfs generating tools? [Meaning DRACUT.]
You can follow my sig for a lightweight one with fblspash support. I'm not guarantying anything because I did not use it (fbsplash that is) for ages, but if anything goes wrong... easy/quick fix are waiting for the adventurous ones.
[There is no plymouth support because it require UDEV... maybe SytemDebug. Not kidding.]

I'm using genkernel for it and am trying plymouth for it's smoother transition to X (so nearly no flickering). Getting fbsplash working nicely with a password prompt for LUKS isn't that easy, after all the system in question isn't for me, but it should look nice.

Genkernel has its own heavyness in its own way because udev, bash and a few util-linux/coreutils and other are bundled...
Well, all those aren't prohibited in mkinitramfs-ll... quite the contrary, one can bundle anything easily even custom scripts/hooks as the API is simple and straitforward.

Your best luck would be try to grab a few plymouth themes and see for yourself. I've looked, well I tried, into that for some time now, and it's not easy to find themes around. This is really weird as plymouth is bundled in many big/popular distros. Well then, try to grab an official distro theme source. I guess it won't be easy.

-->This is far the help I can provide for that RH/Freedesktop egg.<--

Good luck!
