Extensive Definition
Splashy is a splash
screen program for Unix-like
computer operating
systems (OSes), such as Linux and FreeBSD.
Splashy was designed to replace Bootsplash.
Unlike Bootsplash, it runs completely in userspace and therefore
doesn't require any patches
to the OS kernel.
It is hosted by the Alioth
project, and there are deb
packages of it.
Features
Splashy supports many advanced features such as
TrueType2
fonts, animation,
alpha
channel transparency and full Linux
Standards Base support. Splashy uses XML in its
configuration files.
