splash4slack

Do you want to hide startup kernel and init messages but do you need to type LUKS decription password during boot time?
splash4slack allow you to put a background framebuffer image and to write messages over background using pre-rasterized ttf Mono fonts (software transparency).
splash4slack is made by 3 binaries: fbdec, the frame buffer decorator, run as daemon, and wait for messages coming on a named pipe; fbput control the daemon sending commands to the named pipe (you can print strings, move cursor, clear background, and send 'backspace'); ttyread read characters typed on keyboard.
