Hi,
In pinephone we do not use plymouth we have patches to kernel for animation, we are using https://github.com/philmmanjaro/linux-bootsplash
I still mourn this didn't end up in the kernel, but I also wonder how long can you keep using it before it inevitably breaks. It's also a shame it doesn't utilize the UEFI provided manufacturer images, but that's probably not too hard to patch in I would assume.
I had made current boot animation with from a gif image and transforming to correct format, i am not sure, but i think we shouldn't have problems with scalability.
Well, it depends on what you want to support. With plymouth we are aiming for every computer screen, which doesn't always work (especially since we really only provide the logo size for 1080p, so it's really small on let's say 4K, but I didn't really look into it yet).
Is it not possible to use vector images that scale with the screen resolutions?
With that being said, some time ago I went out and started working on getting all of the DMs synced up with the plymouth theme to have the same format of bottom aligned distribution logo. Technically now SDDM also supports that (thanks to Jan), but we don't customize it according to: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/KDE:Frameworks5/plasma5-openSUS... (and /usr/share/pixmaps/distribution-logos/light-inline.svg would work just fine for the logo there, I will patch that later whenever I remember about it). I also didn't really have the time to make it work on LightDM, so that's still up in the air.
