Now when the program pops up, it fails to display the themes already installed through synaptic. IE: xubuntu, ubuntu etc.. However, it seems that included in your program is an edubuntu theme which it previews. When I use the program to set the theme and manually preview using the command sudo usplash -c my screen turns off with hv over frequency. I’ve compiled it and ran it.

I was just trying 'gcc usplash-switcher.c', which wasn't working. Now it's working - but for some reason, some of the images display a bit odd. Oh well, I guess that's more a problem with usplash-dev that usplash-switcher. I'm working on a Ruby version of it, simply because I can :) Aha! Thankyou, partymola. I was just trying ‘gcc usplash-switcher.c’, which wasn’t working.

Correct line is: gcc -o usplash-switcher usplash-switcher.c `pkg-config -(removethis)-libs -(removethis)-cflags gtk+-2.0` -lusplash Don't forget to remove the "(removethis)" parts... lol There is a problem with this blog… it substitutes two consecutive dashes with a long dash… so it messes up the compiling line.

Correct line is:
gcc -o usplash-switcher usplash-switcher.c `pkg-config -(removethis)-libs -(removethis)-cflags gtk+-2.0` -lusplash

Don’t forget to remove the “(removethis)” parts… lol
