How to change the default splash screen(Boot Up Screen) in fedora.

hi,

Today i learnt how to change the splash image in fedora.

splash image is the image shown at the background when GRUB is displays the list of os.

you can change that default image to image of your choice.
 

To do this you have to do the following.

1.The image you want to display should be 640×480 pixels.

And also the image should be of only 14 colours.
 

2. So,to do that open that image in gimp(or any image editor of your choice).

Then right click on the image and click on Image->Mode->Indexed…

In the Indexed Color Conversion dialog that appears,
click on the radio button “Generate optimal Palette” and in “# of colors” enter 14. Click OK.

Now save the image as splash.xpm in a directory.

3.Now open a terminal and login as root userusing

then change to the directory where you have splash.xpm

Now use this command to gzip the image.
 gzip splash.xpm

Now the file splash.xpm will be changed to splash.xpm.gz.

[Note : please do back up the pre-existing splash.xpm.gz file which is in
the /boot/grub directory.]

then copy this splash.xpm.gz to the /boot/grub directory using,
cp splash.xpm /boot/grub/

then you will be prompted to
overwrite the existing file splash.xpm.gz [y/n]:

enter y.

That’s all! then reboot,

can you see the new splash screen!!!

enjoy
