1. Install "grub2-splashimages" package from Ubuntu repository.
sudo apt-get install grub2-splashimages
This will copy a set of background splash images for GRUB2 into
/usr/share/images/grub.
2. Modify the following line of '/etc/grub.d/05_debian_them' file to replace the grub splash image with one of them you wish to use in the directory.
sudo vi /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme
for i in {/boot/grub,/usr/share/images/desktop-base,/usr/share/images/grub}/File_Name_w/o_File_Extension.{png,tga} ; do
3. Change GRUB2 font colors with what you want to use
set color_normal=white/black
set color_highlight=blue/black
You probably know that '
black' means transparent in GRUB 2.
Notice: Colors we can choose from include,
black (or transparent), dark-gray, light-gray, white, brown, yellow, red, light-red, blue, light-blue, green, light-green, cyan, light-cyan, magenta, light-magenta.
4. Run 'update-grub2' to apply the changes
sudo update-grub2
5. If you want to change the resolution of the GRUB2 screen, you can also change it through adding or modifying the following from '/etc/default/grub' file.
sudo vi /etc/default/grub
Uncomment "
GRUB_GFXMODE" line and change the desired value, the default resolution is 600x480.
GRUB_GFXMODE=800x600
How to make your own splashimage for GRUB2
1. Open any photo or digital art work with Gnu Image Manipulation Program, (GIMP).
2. Resize it to 640x480 or 800x600, I tried to change the resolution on my ubuntu 9.10 laptop with 800x600 and it worked.
3. Save as .png or .tga format.
