[Splashy-devel] Bug#578530: splashy themes are ugly in verbose mode

[Ritesh Raj Sarraf]

Package: splashy
Version: 0.3.13-5.1
Severity: wishlist

Did not know that splashy has superceded bootsplash.


The state of splashy, when switched to verbose mode, is ugly.
When pressing F2 for verbose mode, it would be much nice if splashy drew
the messages on the given vga mode, say 800x600. Currently, even if it
draws the messages, they scroll up very fast.
