Hi!
AFAIK systemd supports startup notifications, even in colour - at
least it did this last time I tried (a few weeks ago)
Maybe your systemd version is too old?
(Quoting Lennart: "We now show the progress of fsck at boot on the
console, again. We also show the much loved colorful [ OK ] status
messages at boot again, as known from most SysV implementations.")
Regards,
Matthias
