I downloaded a bootsplash theme from kdelook.org, extracted it and moved the theme to /etc/bootsplash/themes/ under konquerer-> file manager->super user mode, then installed kbootsplash. I did something with yast(changed the bootsplash from themes/Suse directory to themes/fingerprint-bs directory.) I click configure desktop->kbootsplash, click apply(even in administrator mode), I restart and the boot splash is the same default suse bootsplash.
I also go to configure desktop-> and try to install login-scan-splash as a splash screen which requires moodin. It says I do not have it installed, even though I go to install software-> search 'moodin' yast says that I have it installed.

EDIT: I typed mkinitrd -s 1280x1024 as root and came up with this:

linux-fi0a:/home/lxuser # mkinitrd -s 1280x1024
