I have heard about why plymouth cannot be added because of stability issues, but all I wish to do is to have a prettier crypt password prompt.
But what if instead of black-on-white text plymouth could be imitated with some ascii:
Here is the code to how I made this (just the looks, nothing actually works)
echo -e " \e[32m█████████ ████"
echo " █████████ ████"
echo " ████ ████"
echo " ████ ████ ████"
echo " ████ ████ ████"
echo " ████ ████ ████"
echo " ████ ████ ████"
echo -e " MANJARO \e[39m"
echo ""
echo "Unlocking disk /dev/disk/foo-bar"
echo " Enter password:"
echo " ╔═══════════════╗"
echo " ║******* ║"
echo " ╚═══════════════╝"
I am unsure of how simple or difficult this would be to implement, but if I can somehow help make this a reality, I am all in.
