NAME

       Splashy - a user-mode, POSIX and LSB compliant, boot splashing system for UNIX.

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/splashy/config.xml - Splashy's configuration file

DESCRIPTION

       /etc/splashy/config.xml sets splashy's behaviour during boot, shutdown inter-runlevel and error. It is an XML file where all values are
       enclosed in tags

       A tag is anything enclosed between < and >. An opening tag has the form "<tag>" while a closing tag has its name preceded with a backslash
       () character as in "<	ag>"

       Tags can be considered as folders. Each tag either contains tags or contains a value

       The value of the final tag affects in the field defined by its parents tags

       The following tag folders are supported:

       <splashy>
	       This tag is mandatory. It contains all splashy's configuration values, listed below.

	       The following values are supported:

       <themes>
	       Absolute path to the directory containing the installed splashy themes. Default: /etc/splashy/themes

       <current_theme>
	       Name of the theme to use. It must be the name of a directory in <themes>'s value's directory. Default: default

       <default_theme>
	       Full path to a theme to fall back to if the theme specified in <current_theme>'s value can't be found. Default:
	       /etc/splashy/themes/default

       <pid>   Full path to the PID file splashy will use to store its PID so that other processes can know if it is running. Default:
	       /var/run/splashy.pid

       Comments can be introduced by enclsing them between <!-- and -->. Blank lines are also ignored

EXAMPLES

       The following is a complete and valid splashy configuration file:

	<splashy>
	   <!-- themes directory: conventional path /etc/splashy/themes -->
	   <themes>/etc/splashy/themes</themes>
	   <!-- current theme could be relative the themes defined above or full path -->
	   <current_theme>default</current_theme>
	   <!-- full path to theme to fall back in case of problems. DO NOT CHANGE -->
	   <default_theme>/etc/splashy/themes/default</default_theme>
	   <!-- this defaults should be ok -->
	   <pid>/var/run/splashy.pid</pid>
	</splashy>
