the new plymouth theme looks really nice and professional.
Here is an idea to make it more smooth:
Use the same background-image for plymouth and kdm. Plymouth could still show the progress, and kdm would then just superpose it’s login-window, while the background stays the same.

The new Kubuntu theme is certainly sleek and attractive than before. It beats what you guys gave before. Keep it up and come back with more in the future.
