On how to select the right tool for a given task
edit by bakunin: I have split the thread to reflect the two different themes it had. Read the original thread here. All the other posts there dealing with the new theme have been moved here, the ones which addressed both i have copied and edited. Enjoy the discussion.
BTW, you don't want to use sed to work on a string.
Use sed for working on files and shell parameter expansion for manipulating strings.

plymouth-set-default-theme
PLYMOUTH-SET-DEFAU(1) User Commands PLYMOUTH-SET-DEFAU(1)
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).
