One Last Hurrah For USplash: A New Theme
![UBUNTU](/assets/categories/ubuntu.webp)
A new theme should then come in the next Ubuntu development cycle once Plymouth is pushed into the Karmic repository. Plymouth is a Red Hat created project that leverages kernel mode-setting and newer Linux technologies to provide a clean, flicker-free boot experience. More information on Plymouth can be found in our closer look article. A video of how a normal Plymouth plug-in looks in Fedora can be found here. A few new features were also recently introduced in Plymouth.
This new theme to mark the retirement of USplash can be found in the forthcoming release of Ubuntu 9.04. For those interested in living on the bleeding edge of software, there are Plymouth packages for Ubuntu available that will work with Ubuntu 9.04 but without Intel kernel mode-setting support and with no Ubuntu theme being available.
