Here you go. This is what I found.
# Grub 2 Splash Images
Why reinvent the wheel? Visit this site for an excellent presentation on creating Grub 2 images:
http://members.iinet.net/~herman546/p20/GRUB2%20Splashimages.html
However, if encrypted disks are not an issue, here are the basics:
* Manually copy grub splash images into the /usr/share/images/grub folder or install the default grub2 splash images via Synaptic or:
Code:
sudo apt-get install grub2-splashimages
* The grub2's splash images are controlled by /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme. Open this file for editing:
Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme
Find the following line and edit the highlighted area, replacing it with the grub splash image you wish to use (and located in /usr/share/images/grub):
Quote:
for i in {/boot/grub,/usr/share/images/grub}/moreblue-orbit-grub.{png,tga} ; do
Note: There is a period ( . ) following the filename.
o At one point Grub 2 splash images were downloaded and stored in /usr/share/images/desktop.base If this is where your grub images are stored, change the address in the previous command accordingly ( ... /usr/share/images/desktop-base} ... ).
* Save the file, then update grub2:
Code:
sudo update-grub2

I've done that part! Thats why it shows with a background. I wanted the nicer menu, which I think requires more extensive changes.
