Plymouth not fading into DM

I'm running Plymouth. After much fiddling i finally got it to actually show the graphics. Now i have a new problem however. When Plymouth is done it pops to a black screen, only to then start lightdm (With the webkit greeter) which pops open with a white screen.

This is terribly annoying for my eyes. Does anyone know how to fix this? Ideally i would like Plymouth to stay open until lightdm opens, then slowly fade over into lightdm.

I think half the problem is Plymouth not waiting long enough, but the other half might be lightdm not refreshing the webkit greeter (Since when i run "dm-tool lock" my the place that was occupied by my bar shows the correct content, while the rest of the screen stays white for a couple of seconds). I'd like to fix both issues.

Re: Plymouth not fading into DM

I experience pretty much the same problem with gdm. Have you already solved it? If so, could you post here how you did it?
