This is a plymouth theme that cycles many colors at startup and one color at shutdown. (changes colors like a chameleon)


To install on Ubuntu derivatives:

--Copy Chameleon folder to /lib/plymouth/themes

Type to terminal:

sudo update-alternatives --install /lib/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth default.plymouth /lib/plymouth/themes/Chameleon/Chameleon.plymouth 100

sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth

select the number corresponding to Chameleon then run

sudo update-initramfs -u


To fix the delayed loading of the splash:

sudo -s
echo FRAMEBUFFER=y >>/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
update-initramfs -u
