            Bug ID: 418949
           Summary: plymouth-theme-breeze should have a
                    background/wallpaper option
           Product: Breeze
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Plymouth
          Assignee: plasma-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: w.pelser at web.de

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
On linux plymouth is started during boot in-between grub2 and sddm. grub2 comes
with a background, which could be changed by YAST, sddm can be customized by
systemsettings5, which could change the background too. Only plymouth has no
option. It seems to be nice and necessary, to have a backround/wallpaper
ability  too. The same background/wallpaper during all the steps of the boot
process would be  preferable.
This is an example for this issue with an other distro:
