NAME
plymouth-set-default-theme - Set the plymouth theme
SYNOPSIS
plymouth-set-default-theme [OPTION...] [THEME]
DESCRIPTION
When called with a THEME argument, the plymouth-set-default-theme
command changes the preferred boot theme and also performs the necessary
regeneration of the initial ramdisk (initrd) since plymouth is loaded
from the boot loader from the initrd prior to the mounting of the root
filesystem.
If plymouth-set-default-theme is invoked with no options or parameters,
it shows the currently selected theme by default. This output is used by
the helper scripts plymouth-generate-initrd and plymouth-update-initrd
to set the proper theme in the initial ramdisk.
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
-h, --help
Show summary of options.
-l, --list
List available themes.
-r, --reset
Reset to default theme.
-R, --rebuild-initrd
Rebuild initrd (necessary after changing theme).
