Stool (Debian) -- very big, very convenient? (2) -- make GRUB menu more sexy

Book connection.

7. Make GRUB menu more sexy

It seems to be more professional, and the default GRUB menu of Debian is ugly. Even a 100 or 200 K splash image is missing. Let's do it ourselves.

A) Search for a splash image (I Don't Know What To translate. I can only use English first ). For example, find bysoli.xpm.gz. The cursor is the file ending with xpm.gz.

B) copy it to/boot/GRUB/splashimage:

--> sudo mkdir / boot / grub / splashimages
sudo CP bysoli.xpm.gz / boot / grub / splashimages

C) modify the/boot/GRUB/menu. ls file, and block the following content (add one at the beginning of the line ):

code highlighting produced by actipro codehighlighter (freeware)
http://www.CodeHighlighter.com/

--> color cyan / blue white / blue

Add the following content:

code highlighting produced by actipro codehighlighter (freeware)
http://www.CodeHighlighter.com/

--> splashimage (hd0, 0) / boot / grub / splashimage S/ bysoli.xpm.gz

The last line is like this: #Color cyan/blue white/blue
Splashimage (hd0, 0)/Boot/Grub/Splashimages/Bysoli.xpm.gz

The blue part may need to be modified based on your actual partition.

D) restart the machine. OK!

Where can I find the splash image file? I have prepared some ready-made items for you here (http://files.cnblogs.com/soli/splashimages.zip. A few of them are very sexy.

If it is not enough, go here (http://gnome-look.org) look for it. Only .xpm.gz files can be recorded.

Why? Not satisfied yet? Let's make yourself fit:

I) install ImageMagick: Sudo Apt-Get install ImageMagick

Ii) find a satisfactory image, in JPG, PNG, and other formats. You don't have to ask for pictures. (If you are interested, I can tell you a good place. There are so many sexy pictures, but you cannot publish them here. If you want to promote the ** culture, ysmile ~~)
Assume that the image you are looking for is soli.png.

Iii) convert the image file format to the XPM format supported by GRUB: Convert-Resize 64Zero x 480 -Colors14Soli.png soli. XPM&&Gzip soli. XPM

Now we can see that there is no soli.xpm.gz in the current project. Next we will do the above B) to D.
