Better boot up and shut down screen?

[Bananasmoothii]

Hello, I have a quick question: is it possible to display a nice-looking loading screen instead of some little white lines on black at boot up and shut down like this:

Oh, “nice looking” is in the eye of the beholder
I like when quiet is removed from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub.

Others use plymouth.

Changing the grub theme?

I like the grub theme that comes with manjaro KDE, but I like Xfce’s desktop environment better. Is there a way to change the grub theme and the text (like from Windows Boot manager to Windows 10) to this without grub-customizer?

Hi, removing “quiet” from boot just adds a bunch of unreadable messages, so not really what I want (although it does look cool if you want to look like a hacker right at the beginning).

As for plymouth, isn’t there something more “plug-and-play” ?
