Portrait mode (rotated monitor) for Kubuntu start-up and shut-down logo.
This is a plymouth theme for Kubuntu (Ubuntu with the KDE package kubuntu-desktop installed), that will display the default logo at start-up and shutdown, for a rotated monitor.
The images are rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise, meaning that you have rotated your monitor 90 degrees clock-wise. For the other direction, all image files in the images/ subdirectory will have to the rotated again in the other direction, using some image processing tool (I used gimp for this purpose).
This is incomplete and only the logo images are rotated, meaning the other user interface elements like a password prompt during boot have not been tested and will likely not work as intended. Rotate for text lines is not tested also and will likely show the text line clipped at a size of a few characters.
This theme is a copy of the default kubuntu theme from package plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo, with the images rotated and the script modified to lay out the interface left-to-right instead of top-to-bottom.
