Description:
A GRUB splash screen based on another member's background. For all of you that dual-boot Windows & a Linux distro.

Also a few extra splashies - 1 with Ubuntu tux, 1 with Debian tux, a dark background one and a wide version for 1280x800 (basically makes Tux and the Windows logo look normal when viewed at 640x480 on a 1280x800 screen). They are tarred and gzipped so first extract them all then you can use them as splashies.

Comments welcome.
Last changelog:

Added less pixelly versions of normal and Ubuntu splashies at cost of contrast and added dark pattern background one.

I am Gnome fans. How can I use it?

Men, after using it I see that this version look a little bit 'pixelated' comparing it to the previous one.

I know, it happens when switching color index to only 14 colors, I will make them all like the old version and then include them all in the pack. They will be less pixelly but will lack contrast. Look out for update.

Thanks men, this is the GRUB image I use on my machine. Thanks for the update :)

For some reason I can't change the first screenie but I've changed the splash, looks much better in my opinion.

Screenie fixed now, no worries.

GRUB

How to install a grub theme:

  1. Extract the theme to /boot/grub/themes/

  2. Edit /etc/default/grub file. Find the line starting with "#GRUB_THEME" and change it to "GRUB_THEME=/boot/grub/themes/[THEME_FOLDER]/[theme.txt]" (replace [THEME_FOLDER] ; [theme.txt] is probably OK ; remove "[]" brackets)

  3. Run sudo update-grub
