[SOLVED] Plymouth Splash Screen Not Changing

Hello!

I am new to arch and wanted to setup a splash screen on boot so I decided to install Plymouth. However, even after entering the correct commands and proving that it is indeed showing the correct splash screen when I use:
"plymouth d"
"plymouth --show-splash"
upon reboot all it shows is a splash screen with 3 square dots in the middle that light up as the OS Loads. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling plymouth, disabling, enabling, and restarting the service, resetting the plymouth theme back to default and even remaking the grub config after each theme change but it doesn't change from the grey background with the loading square dots.

Any help with ths problem is much appreciated!

EDIT: I managed to get it fixed myself, to fix it I ended up running mkinitcpio -p linux and the theme changed.

Re: [SOLVED] Plymouth Splash Screen Not Changing

I assume you followed https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Plymouth guide on the wiki?

Edit: nevermind, I see you solved it yourself
