SPLASH-SCREEN
- Make sure you make it with GIMP Creating with Photoshop and saving (in different formats) never worked for me. Even opening the Photoshop-image with GIMP and saving it afterwards was not good enough for GRUB.
- You can place the image everywhere. If you want to place it with the original grub-splashes, this is a good place: /usr/share/images/desktop-base.
- Then edit /etc/default/grub. Add the line:
GRUB_BACKGROUND="your_image.jpg"
- Update GRUB
# update-grub2
GRUB-MENU
- Create a file called /boot/grub/custom.cfg and add the lines:
set color_normal=light-black/black set color_highlight=white/black
MENU-ENTRIES
Maybe you would like to change the menu entries:
Edit /etc/grub.d/10_linux
(You can find them starting with title=. I added LISA for this example)
linux_entry () { os="$1" version="$2" recovery="$3" args="$4" if ${recovery} ; then title="$(gettext_quoted "LISA %s, with Linux %s (recovery mode)")" else title="$(gettext_quoted "LISA %s, with Linux %s")" fi
And then when you reboot things may look like this:
(If you’re lucky)
