How to display a nice boot logo instead of everything that is loaded

Hi,

how can I display a logo at bootup, like Ubuntu or on Windows instead of the text output? Very nive would be one with a progress bar.
I googled and did find something about splash images at bootup but this required a patch into the kernel and also allowed to set background images in the console windows.
Is there an easier way to have a logo at bootup?

And do you know of an arch linux theme for slim?

Thanks.

On the entry about slim in the wiki they talk about a pakcage of arch themes for it.

I don't remember the name, but you can look there ^^
