The theme has animations that makes the stripes rotate at different speeds giving a vortex effect.
You can easily change the background color to whatever you please following the instruction inside the README.txt file.
For the installation there is a useful shell script that dose everything automatically and other two scripts allow you to test it and eventually easily remove it.
Give it a try, weight nothing and is easy to install ;-)
INSTALLATION
1) Open a terminal inside the "vortex-ubuntu" folder (right-click on the folder end select "open in terminal)
2) make the "install" file executable by running the following command:
sudo chmod +x install
4) run the "install" file with the following command:
sudo ./install
For more instructions see the "README" file or go to the GitHub page ( https://www.github.com/emanuele-scarsella/vortex-ubuntu-plymouth-theme )

This is pretty cool, but it does not seem to support LUKS very well. It leaves the spinning vortex when I need to type in my LUKS password. As a result, I needed to hit Esc to bring up a fairly ugly, text prompt. Furthermore, it was not obvious I could type in my password and I felt pretty nervous before I hit some keys and saw the asterisks.
I know, 2 years has past. But now it's supported if you want to give it a try.

10 Ciao, credo dal tuo nome che parli italiano, almeno lo spero :) Ho installato vortex su un Ubuntu 22.04 ed è belissimo, grazie mille!! Ho un altro Ubuntu 22.04 su una partizione criptata VLM (Se non ricordo male) Avrei due domande: 1 come installare se possibile sulla partizione criptata il tuo vortex? 2 come imposto la risoluzione nello splash screen che mostra vortex o altri temi? Non sono riuscito a trovare dove sta questo parametro da nessuna parte e la prima installazione di vortex me lo dava con bassa risoluzione, non so nemmeno come ho fatto a sistemarlo dopo svariati tentativi e ricerche. Comunque ottimo lavoro e grazie in anticipo delle tue eventuali risposte. Saluti :)
Sono passati due anni, ma adesso dovrebbe funzionare anche con partizioni criptate. Non so quale problema avessi con la risoluzione, ma dopo così tanto tempo non credo sia più importante. Grazie mille per i complimenti e scusa per non aver risposto prima, fammi sapere se proverai nuovamente questo tema e se dovesse presentare ancora problemi. P.S. Hai indovinato, sono italiano ;-)
Need on help, anyway possible to remove this from staring screen before login page. Loding, Please Wait... Starting version 245.4-4ubuntu2.18 Begin: Loading Essential Driver...done Begin: Running /scripts/init-premount...

It works when the system is shutting down. But for some reason (I presume it has to do with something which my OEM's UEFI uses) it refuses to show when it's booting up.
5 Looks really nice but sadly doesn't support encrypted /-partitions. :(
Hi Rupa, sorry for this... I'll try to implement it and if I succeeded I will tell you so you too can enjoy this theme ;-)
10 how to install it , pls help
Hi killerbean3712, I am here to help you :-) To install it you just need to execute the "install" file. If you are on Ubuntu this can be done completely through the GUI in this way: 1) Right-click on the "install" file and go to properties > permission end here check the "Allow executing file as program". 2) Right-click on the "vortex-ubuntu" folder and select "open in terminal" 3) type on the terminal: sudo ./install end press "enter", then insert your user password and press "enter" again If you want instructions for doing it completely from the terminal you can find this inside the "REASME" file. If it gives you any error tell me what you get and I will help you :-) Let me know if you succeeded in the installation ;-)

Hello This one looks so cool! I've already download the file but having a tiny bit of difficulty running it. Would there be any solution to the following problem? I get the error message saying W: plymouth module (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/plymouth//.so) missing, skipping that theme. I checked out that file manually in the current file but haven't found a thing called module By the way, I'm running Lubuntu 20.10 Groovy Gorilla TIA
hi biltar, I am sorry for the inconvenience but here I am to help you solving this problem. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM It seems that your problem is due to a bug in some plymouth package that causes a module called "script.so" to be missing from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/plymouth/ and from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/plymouth/ as well... you could try putting this file in those folders manually (I can provide you the file if needed) but that might not work and bring other problems. A safer and simpler solution seems to be installing "plymouth-themes" package. RECOMMANDED SOLUTION: 1) install "plymouth-themes" package with this command: sudo apt install plymouth-themes 2) retry the installation Let me know if it solves your problem and not hesitate to ask me for further help :-)

I hate black kde neon splash screen.when my pc opening my soul is darkling.how can I remove Kde neon splash screen ?
hi starsalior, if you are talking about the booting splash screen (the one shown when you turn on your computer) then you can change it by: A) installing another splash screen theme like the one you can download here with an installer script bundled together. B) installing another splash screen theme through apt command (if you don't know how ask me) C) installing another splash screen theme manually (again you can ask me how if that's your choice) D) if instead you wont to boot with a completely black screen you can remove the splash screen by editing /etc/default/grub changing the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet" so that your computer should boot with a completely black screen. fell free to ask for more information : )
