Background wise, its just a matter of putting the chosen logo on,
which will not take me long.
I wont pass judgement until I have seen the white monochrome logo,
however I was planning on trying with a greyscale one.

I have the background ready for plymouth, however i still need to get
the animation to run properly.

Ksplash is done, I just changed the background so it is the same as
Mga 1's, previews are on the list, testing would be appreciated.

I had a hdd failure last week which has help this up, I am still
getting things sorted out and at present don't have a linux
installation to work from. This will hopefully be sorted by tonight
and we can move forward with the various task.
