I could use some help with my custom splash

[Guest]

I'm currently trying to make a custom Plymouth splash that has an image centered on the screen that rotates. I've tested it using both the X11 plugin and system reboots; neither showed it successfully. Here's the script that I currently have:

spiral_image = Image("Splash.png");
spiral_sprite = Sprite(spiral_image);

spiral_sprite.SetX(window.GetWidth() /2 - spiral_image.GetWidth() /2);
spiral_sprite.SetY(window.GetHeight() /2 - spiral_image.GetHeight() /2);

fun refresh_callback ()
{
time++;
theta = time / 100;
spiral_sprite.Rotate(theta);
}
Plymouth.SetRefreshFunction (refresh_callback);

What am I doing wrong here?

Have you thought to simply use the stop motion animation /1/ to rotate the image ?

The http://gnome-look.org/content/show.p...content=152477 is using stop motion to rotate the Ubuntu logo.

I looked at its script, but it was too complicated for me to follow. Thanks anyways.

The Earth-sunrise seems to use the 'Rotate' command - Earth-sunrise:

Hmm. Still not having any luck getting it to rotate. I've got it to appear in the center of the screen like I intended, but still no rotation. Here's my current script:

spiral_image = Image("Splash.png");
spiral_sprite = Sprite(spiral_image);

screen_width = Window.GetWidth();
screen_height = Window.GetHeight();

spiral_sprite.SetX(screen_width /2 - spiral_image.GetWidth() /2);
spiral_sprite.SetY(screen_height /2 - spiral_image.GetHeight() /2);
spiral_sprite.sprite.SetPosition(spiral_sprite.SetX, spiral_sprite.SetY, 0);

time = 0;

fun refresh_callback ()
{
time++;
spiral_sprite.SetImage(spiral_image.Rotate(Math.Sin() * time));
}
Plymouth.SetRefreshFunction (refresh_callback);
