I think the one major thing we need to do is to make it two desktop compatible. 
The problem is if we clip the top and bottom to make the dual wide version it 
chops the top and bottom of the lion. Also the lion's face occupies the entire 
left screen. I extended the image by resizing and reflecting the a couple layers 
[1] so it is 5120x1536. This should a reasonable point that we can generate all 
desired resolutions from. I'm just making a script which will automatically 
generate them all from the one image.

For now I hid the circles as they want to be on the left edge and that varies by 
size. I can put them back using the script or we can remove them as people 
complain they get in the way of the icons.

Still need to extend the lines in layers Like1 and Line2. and possibly add some 
more texture to the left screen.

I'll have a look at using the image and adding the Greek style progress bar in 
plymouth.
