With torizoncore-builder I can customize the splashscreen.
I see that while this splashscreen is visible, a little animated wheel like this one
is shown.
Is it possible to customize this animation?
I mean, move it on different position, or change it with different animation?
Thanks

Hello!
Thank you for your question about customizing the spinner animation on the Torizon OS splash screen. The spinner you see is part of Plymouth’s default behavior, specifically its spinner theme. While you can customize the splash screen image, the documentation does not provide a direct method to alter the spinner’s position or appearance using TorizonCore Builder.
For more advanced customization, such as modifying the spinner animation, you would need to delve into Plymouth themes directly through the Yocto build system. However, the current documentation does not detail how to specifically customize the animation.
If you need guidance on customizing the static splash screen image, feel free to ask!
Best regards,

Greetings @vix,
The Plymouth splashscreen is initiated during initramfs as to show something early in boot. Plymouth can be customized via a config file: meta-toradex-torizon/recipes-core/plymouth/files/spinner.plymouth at scarthgap-7.x.y · torizon/meta-toradex-torizon · GitHub
But since this starts in initramfs, you would need to modify the initramfs for this to have any effect. Currently TorizonCore Builder can’t modify this. We do have something in our backlog to eventually investigate this possible new feature.
Best Regards,
Jeremias
