At boot, you can see, if the boot progress is completed (at the end).
In the example gifs, you cannot really see the glow effect (except for the thumbnail)
This would also be the case, if you have a screen, which have a higher resolution than FHD (1920x1080)
In each Theme-archive there is a sample gif, which should show the glow effect. You can look, if the theme is something for you.
I recommend opening the sample gif in full-screen mode to see what the startup process (and shutdown-progress) might look like for you.
The animation in the example gifs hangs a little. When starting or shutting down, the animation would be displayed more smoothly.

Additional Information:
Once the theme has been installed and applied, I hope you enjoy using it.
You may need to add some boot parameters, to make the boot animation more "fluently"
Some examples: "quiet splash loglevel=3 rd.udev.log_level=3"
