is there a up to date plymouth / splash screen guide?

Next update
Found another guide which had some flags I had removed during testing
Using these now works
console=tty9 logo.nologo=1
Now the only issue is I get the ASCII of the penguin, then a black screen for maybe 2-3 seconds, then the desktop loads.
Time to track that down

Are you referring to /etc/motd ?

Yeah, just found that myself.
I have removed the motd file and now it doesnt show it during boot.
However I still get 2-3 seconds of black screen before the desktop loads
I assume that is when the boot process has finished and before the desktop interface has loaded?
I removed the
/usr/bin/killall -q fbv &
line from my rcS file hoping it would keep it around longer, but no luck.

Hi pomtom44
The delay may be from the GUI loading. When the GUI loads
it takes over control of the screen, which is probably when the
screen goes black.

That sounds about right from what im seeing.
I have had a quick look to see if there is a way to add a loading screen to the x display im using, or if there is a way to launch in background for a few seconds, but doesn't appear to be something easy
I guess a black flicker is better then nothing
