[SOLVED] Newbie - Definition confusion - BootSplash

[HousieMousie2]

I went to KDE-LOOK.org, checked out their BootSplash selection and could not help but notice the same category is used for four different stages of booting. I am not sure what to call any of them, but I would like to know, largely because I would like to change a couple of them....

1. Dual-Boot selection screen (not common, but it was there)
2. ?The nuts & bolts? (detailed list of the start-up)
3. The (in my case) Kubuntu logo, name and progress bar
4. Log-in screen

I am happy with 1 & 2... but would like to change 3 and the log-in... to better go with the FingerPrint Splash Screen. Knowing what 3 is actually called would be most helpful in searching for ways to change it.

I will poke around with Splashy and see if I can figure out what's what, but any help would of course be helpful. :grin:

Thank you for your time!

1. That is the GRUB splash screen
2. That can be customized (ie what font/size you want), but it depends on what you are using for the next one.
3. That is the usplash theme. Try splashy first though. ;)
4. That is the KDM theme.

Also, if you want, try downloading StartUp Manager (http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?groupname=startup-manager&filename=startupmanager_1.9.9-1_all.deb) to help with theming GRUB/Splashy.

Angling for a third heartfelt thank you, I see. :) How about I just load you up for the next few anyway?
