Is there a consistent set of themed XBMC eye candy for Linux to deal with the Bootloader, Boot Splash and Desktop background?

I've found the DuDuke Usplash theme, and some comments that there is a pretty good Usplash theme that ships with the Linux Live CD version of XBMC.

I'm not sure how to get my hands on the Live CD version of the usplash theme. I can't seem to find anything like it in the built SVN version of XBMC.

The screen that shows very briefly when XBMC starts with the MediaStream skin looks great. Would be fantastic if that could be plastered everywhere.

Does anyone know if there are any plans to push out a full suite of XBMC eye candy bits for those of us with Linux based HTPC's to complete the XBMC experience?

Yep, found that one. Does that mean that XBMC won't be shipping it's own branded XBMC bootloader and Usplash themes and it's up to the community to make something?

Du-duke's Usplash theme is pretty nice, but I'd like something that ties in exactly across the board.

If XBMC aren't planning on releasing any branded content I'll look at Du-Dukes great work and see if I can put in the official splash screen somehow (or try and convince him to do that).
