i had to remove "/usr/share/MProgressIndicator/themes/opengl/".


i copied the two theme images, the booting image, and the theme-selector config to their respective places, and rebooted.

after the NOKIA screen where the LED blinks 6 times, i saw your "MeeGo loading..." booting.png, instead of the normal booting.png {which is the NOKIA logo again}.

then i saw nokia-logo.jpg and/or nokia-logo-end.jpg {which appear identical to me}.

THEN i saw the ear-aching, ugly startup video at themes/opengl/MainAnimation_LowNoise.mp4

i removed the entire opengl dir, and voila. custom theme played as expected, no annoying video.

my central goal was to never hear that again, but the boot images also made my startup experience much nicer.

thanks!!!!
