Hi All, I would like to change the background that Grub uses. I would also like to change the background for the SuSE login screen. I would actually like to reverse them. They seem to me to be backwards. When you boot the machine and Grub shows up, I think the "Welcome" background (at least I assume that is what the other languages are saying) would be more appropriate than the SuSE logo. The logo would be more appropriate at the login screen (at least in my opinion). Anyway, I found where the Grub Logo is at /boot/message, I also found where the file (jpg/png) is at that I would like to use (/opt/kde3/share/wallpapers/SuSE-kdm.jpeg and a png file). However, if I replace "message" (about 63kb) with the png (about 219kb) file it says it is too big. If I replace it with the JPG (about 43kb) it tells me it is the wrong format. What is the correct format? How do I convert this to the proper format? Also, Where is the background for the login screen stored? I believe it is KDE's login screen. How would I go about changing it? Thanks Russ

Maybe you find something in the gfxboot-package. -- Andreas

Under KDE at least, I believe you can tune the login screen by using the KDE Control Panel and selecting System Administration / Login Manager and then choosing Administrator Mode. (That's an unexpected location for this facility; I would have expected it to be in Yast.) Paul Abrahams
Okay, that takes care of the Login screen (thanks Paul). Anyone know anything about the Grub background? Thanks Russ Paul W. Abrahams wrote:

Note: I haven't actually done this myself (yet). Check out the gfxboot package, esp the /usr/share/doc/packages/gfxboot/README file. From reading that, it appears that you can simply run mkbootmsg with a config file and the new graphical image (in the appropriate format, of course). What appears to be a suitable config file can be found in the gfxboot-devel pkg, /usr/share/gfxboot/SuSE/SuSE.config. Hopefully that will get you started in the right direction. Let us know how it goes! Phil -- Philip Amadeo Saeli SuSE Linux 8.2 psaeli@zorodyne.com
