    Re: A Prettier rEFIt

    I apologize for being so noobish - but where exactly do I place the files? Where is the refit folder located (is it on my Macintosh HD filedrive)?

    A step-by-step guide would be greatly helpful!

    default location is \efi\

    Just open your Macintosh HD, and open the folder efi.

    Banners and selection indicators go in the subfolder efi\refit
    Icons go in efi\refit\icons and their names must match their function (the icon for selecting the OS X partition must be titled os_mac.icns).
    You must configure the refit.conf file to recognize what image you want as your banner (unless you want the default "refit" logo on top, but I don't know why you would) and the banner must be .bmp

    As far as I can tell the banner height cannot be much more than 1/4 the height of your monitor (on 1440x900, a 1440x300 size banner is too large, 1440x200 seems to work)


    Now my turn. Anyone know how to do a screen shot? Someone earlier said it's as easy as pressing F10, but that doesn't seem to be working.

    Note: I'm running a MBP efi is on my OS X partition

    Edit: Attached is a mockup of what I made (using some of the icons from lael, and misc other things), but I wanna be able to take an actual screen grab

    Make this! This would be amazing!!
    When helping other users, I will always suggest a GUI solution first.

    Save attached apple pic to your desktop. Use an app such as the free version of Img2icns and convert it to an icon by dragging it to the app. Rename it os_mac.icns and replace the one in your refit icons folder.Next time you restart the green apple will show.

    Re: A Prettier rEFIt

    Firstly thanks for the instructions posted, I was able to customize the refit boot many to what I like following the instructions posted. I am triple booting using refit, I have couple of issues (sorry for posting them here if they are not relevant) 1) It takes a long time on my MBP 6,2 to get to the refit boot menu (about 30 seconds) is there any way I can quicken this process and 2) When I select windows in the refit menu it boots to ubuntu grub - from there I have to select windows 7 to boot into windows, is there any way I can directly boot into windows 7. Thanks for your answers and once again sorry if I posted in the wrong thread.

    I really like the grey one with the ubuntu logo and the rEFIt interface on the other grey one. The only issue is windows. I run windows only for games, but I don't want it ruining an otherwise awesome rEFIt setup. Can someone make a grey icon for windows?

    Okay, just done a monochrome version of the Windows logo. To be specific, a monochrome boot camp icon. Mind if I do a repack with the Windows icon+ the optimized refit.conf? And by the way, I also need your help with aligning the stuff. Thanks.

    And here's my final product, boot camp logo is fully monochrome :
