creating a Plymouth theme with the script preset

[misty cradle]

im trying to make a theme for Plymouth (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Plymouth) that emulates booting up an old pc, similar to the startup screens of Ultrakill or Needy Girl Overdose, for a project. though i am a bit frustrated with the lack of documentation that would make this easier.
what i would like to do is:

1. display 5 lines of text in the top left corner sequentially
2. display a logo in the form of a .png in the top right corner
3. display text at the bottom left corner with a text-based progress bar made using dots
4. display a splash image over the entire screen until the display manager starts up, similar to how it is set up here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Plymouth#Slow_down_boot_to_show_the_full_animation
   im putting this here in case anyone has used plymouth before, and its not entirely related to linux support, but it is something related to my project using archiso

no, this is the right place to ask for help. something weird is going on though but you're good, dw

while we're at it, you could use this: https://www.gnome-look.org/p/2019079

this theme pretends to be a zx spectrum, if you played gta vice city this should look familiar

https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1981148 commodore 64 theme in the same idea

might try using it as a baseline

yeah idk what's going on? i think someone is compromising accounts and using it to meme

everyone that posts that leaves the server

[misty cradle]

these look really cool! i think itd help to get around the usage of text in plymouth cuz rn thats just got me confused since the very limited manual from freedesktop doesnt provide much help
