Oops, thanks for that, I never noticed. I have to change it before I upload it because I think most people have their bootsplash stored in /etc/bootsplash.
OK, I do not know how to install this in Kubuntu, but you should be able to install it the same way I did. You must get a kernel patch from bootsplash.org and recompile your kernel with the patch. You also need the 'user space' utilities, the important one being 'splash', make splash and copy it to /sbin. Then you must open the config file and change the paths to point to the correct location, and from a terminal type
sudo /sbin/splash -sf /path/to/configfile.cfg > /path/to/where-you-want-the.initrd
When you have the initrd, you need to tell LiLo/Grub where it is. I don't know Grub, but for lilo it is done with a line like this
initrd=/path/to/initrd
then you must run /sbin/lilo, or reinstall Grub.
You should probably have a good read at bootsplash.org first, then you will have a better idea. Make sure you understand what you are doing before doing it.

Very nice theme! But there is an error in the config file, on the line with jpeg=*** . You have to delete /home from there.
