Although if we simplified it a bit I think most of the animation
could be implemented in code, which would be much better in terms of
performance.
Would the animation still look good if we did it over the gray noise
background that we currently use for the login screen? The upstream
designs call for that background to be used from the GRUB theme all the
way to the login screen.
