Hello all,
I have a cool little project I’m doing for myself, I bought a ThinkPad T60 and I’m going to install Libreboot on it. I want it to be themed and look as close as possible to Windows XP. I plan on installing Trisquel and building Cinammon DE from source (they don’t have it in the repositories), and then theming it from there. I’m wondering, can I change the bootsplash to the animated Windows XP loading screen?

Plymouth would be what you’re looking for. You’d have to find an XP theme or create one yourself.
You’re probably looking for these 2
Op, now you have to report with pictures.
I will definitely come back with photos, I’m getting the Thinkpad on Friday or Saturday :-)
I’m also looking into customizing GRUB to look like this:

Edit: also planning on using this for my DE:
github.com/rozniak/xfce-winxp-tc
This might help.
Heads up, check out this project. It’s pretty simple and you might be able to help out too! github.com/rozniak/xfce-winxp-tc
I actually just tried installing it yesterday on Debian, I was able to build everything successfully, but I couldn’t figure out how to actually apply the theme. Unfortunately, the developer hasn’t written a guide for it yet. Would you be able to help me? Looking forward to your reply!
It’s a bit weird; it’s not a theme, but an application. You have to run the programs it builds and add them to your startup (i.e. the WinXP taskbar, etc)
