=head1 DESCRIPTION
-Splashy displays an image and a progress bar at boot time. When called as splashy_chvt, it allows the same functionality as the UNIX command chvt.
+Splashy displays an image and a progress bar at boot time.
+
+The look and feel of splashy is provided by a theme, installed by B<splashy_config>(1).
+
+If the theme enables a textbox, pressing F2 during the boot will toggle verbose mode, the display of boot messages that are otherwise hidden by splashy.
+
+Splashy may time-out and exit during long file-system checks. No update of the progress bar happens during file-system checks.
+
+When called as splashy_chvt, it allows the same functionality as the UNIX command chvt.
