EZSwitch. You can use it to switch plymouth themes. It is installed by default on every LXDE release. >>> Menu > More Applications > Configuration > EZSwitch.    

Whoowee, Linux is a rabbit hole. OK, I will go check this out. Do the files have to be in a folder or zip file or what.........I will go look at it.

EDIT: oops!.......thanks Neal!

 :D EZSwitch is used to switch between installed themes.     

Found it but it keeps saying "Plymouth theme unchanged." when I select the LXDE theme. Other than that, cool beans!

Now, I have to break away and go find a coffee wallpaper for someone............

You will get that message, if you try to switch to the theme you are using. Try installing some more themes. There are plenty in the repos. On installation, the last installed theme will be selected.     


They are in the ripos(Synaptic)? Cool..................what do I put in the search window? The repo list is a maze of "what?" and "what the f___ does this do?" kind of stuff. ;D Is there a general name for the themes?

Good point, what do the packages do? You'll find answers on Uncle Google. I recently found moovida, and I am eager to get it built and play with the app a little bit more.

Here's something to whet your appetite.



BAAAAAHHHHHTTTTTT ;)

You're NOT YET interested in all these so on Synaptic's search box, you can try the word, THEME.  ;D

"Theme" will show you all types of themes in Synaptic.
