Got some time again.
Bored of watching the same old grub splash image? Here's how to change ur grub splash image!
1. Requirements
Quote:
1. xpm.gz file type
2. 640x480
3. 14 colors only
|
2. Use gimp, open some image, lower its quality
3. resize it to 640x480 resolution
Command
Quote:
|
convert -resize 640x480 -colors 14 image.png image.xpm
|
4. Putting the image
Quote:
1. Gzip your xpm file and put it into your /boot/GRUB directory (or to any directory of a /dev/hda1 partition). (do: `gzip myfile.xpm`)
2. Edit your GRUB config file (aka /etc/GRUB.conf) and add this line:
splashimage=(hd0,0)/GRUB/myfile.xpm.gz
NOTE: Change the partition and directory according to your system's setup.
3. reboot and cross your fingers

I had saved the info and commands, but not sure where I took it from. I guess
this was the source !! Dont worry. If the image gets messy, the grub will still work with blank background!
