Is plymouth used as login-manager screen also?
Plymouth is not used for the login-manager. The login stuff that you see is used to present the user with a dialog box in case the user needs to enter a password (e.g. to unlock encrypted partitions, etc).
(and if so, what do i have to do to make the login dialog box smaller, and the too big pw dots smaller, to a distinguished small sized textbox, with small fonts?)
Which dots are we talking about here ? Are we talking here about the login screen for either GDM, KDM or lightdm ? If so, then plymouth has nothing to do with this.
Do i conclude here is the place to change the size of the bullets?
Again the question, which bullets are we talking about ? The white bullets moving over the screen during the boot process, the bullets shown when you have to enter a password to unlock an encrypted drive or the bullets shown when you enter your password and user for the desktop ?
Is there a way to get you (or anyone you know) to create an interface to change these settings?
You can not expect users to mess with these scripts, they'll ruin them... Why would an user mess with those scripts in the first place ? The user is free to choose another theme if he doesn't like the default one. There are
The script you see there is part of a Plymouth theme. If a person doesn't like the theme, then he is free to select/install another theme. Plymouth itself does not offer any interfaces to change settings as that it is just a bootsplash and nothing more. plenty around on the internet. The user installs the theme and then as root executes the command `plymouth-set-default-theme -R <theme-name>`. With the next reboot the user will have the new theme active.
'# mk initrd' is the command to save the changes?
Euh, mkinitrd is not the command to save changes, but is the command to generate a new initrd file that is required for the boot process. If this mkinitrd goes wrong, this could lead to a non-bootable system !!!
