Installation

Make sure you have installed bootsplash-systemd. It's available in the official extra repo for Manjaro, for Arch - in AUR.

Make sure your current kernel supports bootsplash:

zgrep CONFIG_BOOTSPLASH /proc/config.gz

If you see CONFIG_BOOTSPLASH=y in the output - it does.

If it's not:

• on Manjaro use official one pacman -S linux-latest
• on Arch you can build one of custom kernels from AUR: linux-bootsplash linux-manjaro-xanmod

Install

AUR packages bootsplash-manager-bin, bootsplash-manager-git. Manjaro community repo: bootsplash manager.

Usage

1. Search for some themes: pacman -Ss bootsplash-theme-
2. Install the ones you like pacman -S bootsplash-theme-<theme_name> bootsplash-theme-<theme_name2> ...
3. Set theme bootsplash-manager -s <theme_name>
