human swarm (XSplash)

This replaces the "cylon eye" animation in the ubuntu startup with a recolored version of the xubuntu "firefly swarm" animation. (you need ubuntu 9.10, or a distro using xsplash to use this theme)

Please note, this is not my original work, I just recolored the xubuntu animation.

Installation:
First extract the files in the .tar.gz file to your desktop, open the extracted folder, then hit alt=F2, enter gksu nautilus /usr/share/images/xsplash then hit run, enter your password when prompted, then drag the extracted files into the window that popped up (if you don't want to loose the default boot files make a subfolder and move them into it first), close the window and you are done!
If you prefer to use a GUI theme installer rather than getting your hands dirty in the file browser, check out Epidermis http://epidermis.tuxfamily.org/

As some of you have no doubt already discovered, when ubuntu updates xsplash, the original ubuntu theme will be restored. I recommend that you make a sub-folder in the xsplash folder (for example: /usr/share/images/xsplash/hswarm/ ) and keep a backup copy of the theme there so it will be quicker to fix after ubuntu has updated.
