Hi guys,
     Thankyou for your responses, this is where I am confused about why 
it is not working correctly.

     I issued the command       plymouth-set-default-theme -l    to get 
a list of all the themes that plymouth new about and how they were 
addressed.
     I then issued the command     plymouth-set-default-theme -R 
solar    which the plymouth man page says is necessary to rebuild the 
initrd for plymouth to actually work.
     As this was the first time I had attempted to use plymouth I 
rebooted to see if it had taken effect. When the shutdown screen 
displayed it displayed the plymouth solar theme (and has done so every 
shutdown since) but when selected the current kernel from the grub boot 
menu, it displayed the hotdog theme rather than the solar theme. What I 
don't understand is if the initrd hadn't been rebuilt as the man page 
said it would with the command used how are the plymouth themes even 
being used at all, and, why is the boot not using the right theme when 
the shutdown is?

regards,
Steve
