DESCRIPTION

/etc/splashy/config.xml sets splashy's behaviour during boot, shutdown inter-runlevel and error. It is an XML file where all values are
enclosed in tags

A tag is anything enclosed between < and >. An opening tag has the form "<tag>" while a closing tag has its name preceded with a backslash (\) character as in "<\tag>"

Tags can be considered as folders. Each tag either contains tags or
contains a value

The value of the final tag affects in the field defined by its parents tags

The following tag folders are supported:

<splashy>
This tag is mandatory. It contains all splashy's configuration values, listed below.

<themes>
Absolute path to the directory containing the installed splashy themes. Default: /etc/splashy/themes
<current_theme>

<default_theme>
Full path to a theme to fall back to if the theme specified in <current_theme>'s value can't be found. Default:
/etc/splashy/themes/default
<pid> Full path to the PID file splashy will use to store its PID so
that other processes can know if it is running. Default:
/var/run/splashy.pid
Comments can be introduced by enclsing them between <!-- and -->. Blank lines are also ignored

<splashy>

<themes>/etc/splashy/themes</themes>
<!-- current theme could be relative the themes defined above or full path --> <current_theme>default</current_theme>

<!-- this defaults should be ok -->
