Plymouth is an application (bootsplash) that runs very early in the boot process (even before the root filesystem is mounted!) that provides a graphical boot animation while the boot process happens in the background .

By default ROSA comes with minimalistic plymouth theme "Rosa-EE" (background colors may vary depending on ROSA edition).

"Rosa-EE" plymouth theme

If you wish to change it for some other theme you should do the following (will take the bluish MIB Ossigeno Ultimate Plymouth theme as example):

1) download the theme archive

2) extract the folder and copy it as root in /usr/share/plymouth/themes (the full path will be /usr/share/plymouth/themes/MIB-Ossigeno-Ultimate-Plymouth)

3) remove the folder /usr/share/plymouth/themes/Mandriva-Rosa or rename it ('Mandriva-Rosa.old' for example)

4) insert as root

plymouth-set-default-theme MIB-Ossigeno-Ultimate-Plymouth
/usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-generate-initrd
/usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-update-initrd

Reboot and enjoy watching :)
