  • install plymouth and plymouth-theme-arch-beat with your AUR helper.
  • add the plymouth HOOK to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf after base and udev
  • If you have full disk encryption like me replace the encrypt HOOK with plymouth-encrypt too.

My HOOKS line:

HOOKS=(base udev plymouth autodetect modconf block keyboard keymap plymouth-encrypt lvm2 resume filesystems keyboard fsck shutdown suspend)
  • add your display driver to MODULES. E.g. for Intel: MODULES=(i915 [...])
  • run mkinitcpio -p linux
  • Add quiet splash loglevel=3 rd.udev.log_priority=3 vt.global_cursor_default=0 to your kernel parameters
  • change /etc/plymouth/plymouthd.conf to
[Daemon]
Theme=arch-beat
ShowDelay=5
DeviceTimeout=5
  • run sudo plymouth-set-default-theme -R arch-beat to apply theme
  • For smooth transition disable your display manager unit e.g. lightdm.service
    and enable the respective DM-plymouth unit e.g. lightdm-plymouth.service
