Hi Guys, Here is my First Tip!

I have been working on a uSplash theme for Crunchbang! (Screenshots at the bottom)

Below are the details on how to install it!

1) Download the theme archive at the link at the bottom of the page and extract it to your home directory

2) You now need to install uSplash (since it doesn’t come default with Crunchbang (well not yet anyway :-) ), to do this, run the following command in a terminal

sudo apt-get install usplash usplash-theme-ubuntu

3) Now we have to configure your screen resolution in uSplash, to do this open a terminal and do one of the following (If your resolution is not featured here please post a comment with your screen res and I shall modify the theme accordingly and then post instructions for your resolution):-

  • If your screen resolution is 1024 x 768:

chmod +x install_1024_768.sh && sudo ./install_1024_768.sh

  • If your screen resolution is 800 x 600:

chmod +x install_800_600.sh && sudo ./install_800_600.sh


This may take a few minutes, what it is doing is set your screen res in uSplash’s configuration, copying the uSplash theme to the /usr/lib/usplash directory and then setting it as your default theme

4) Once it has finished, the next time you reboot or shutdown you should have a Crunchbang uSplash theme working!

5) If for any reason you wish to uninstall the theme and put it to the default ubuntu one (or another) just run in a terminal:

sudo ./uninstall.sh

At the moment I have only made a gray theme, however I shall try and get other colour variations up (any requests? :-) )
