Re-creation of Windows Vista and Windows 7 boot screens and shutdown screens from their original assets. Designed to be used with VistaThemePlasma and AeroThemePlasma.

Special thanks to blacklightpy for the Vista boot screen code.

Special thanks to catpswin56 for VTP and accepting my merge request that merges this theme to their repository.

Special thanks to wackyideas for ATP and accepting my merge request that adds this theme to their repository.

This project is a fan-made labor of love that sees absolutely no profit whatsoever, donations or otherwise.

You need plymouth, (plymouth-scripts and plymouth-plugin-script may be required, depending on your distro). Optionally you need ImageMagick for the Windows 7 variant.

This section only covers distros that is available on AeroThemePlasma's installation guide.

sudo dnf install plymouth plymouth-scripts plymouth-plugin-script ImageMagick

sudo pacman -S plymouth imagemagick

You need Segoe UI and Lucida Console from a Windows installation. These fonts must be installed as system-wide fonts.

These fonts are located on C:\Windows\Fonts in a Windows installation. You need lucon.ttf and segoeui.ttf. Make sure to copy these fonts from Windows 7 or Windows Vista for the best accuracy.

To install these fonts on your Linux machine,

• Create a new directory or select a directory on /usr/share/fonts,
• Copy lucon.ttf and segoeui.ttf to your selected created directory in /usr/share/fonts,
• Run sudo fc-cache

Clone this repository first, simply use git clone https://github.com/furkrn/PlymouthVista

If you want to modify some of the text (e.g. show "Starting Linux" instead of "Starting Windows" on the Windows 7 boot screen or make your own Windows 9 boot screen) make sure to check plymouth_config.sp which is located on [Location that you've cloned PlymouthVista]/src/plymouth_config.sp before running compile.sh for ease of finding the configuration section. Everything on configuration section is documented.

Make sure to make commands executable by simply running chmod +x ./install.sh ; chmod +x ./compile.sh

Run ./compile.sh to generate PlymouthVista.script file. Then you are safe to run ./install.sh.

Or simply copy this script below and run it:

git clone https://github.com/furkrn/PlymouthVista
cd PlymouthVista
chmod +x ./compile.sh ; chmod +x ./install.sh
./compile.sh ; sudo ./install.sh

1- Vista boot:

2- 7 boot:

3- Shutdown & Reboot screens & Update screen (Vista):

The update screen does not contain the Windows Vista orb like the original one; implementing this feature on Plymouth isn't possible because there's no way that I can get the startup sound working.

4- Shutdown & Reboot screens & Update Screen (7):

5- Windows boot manager (Password):

6- Windows Boot Manager (Question):
