Following with the idea of creating a full theme for Igalia covering the whole artwork that is shown in a Gnome desktop. I’ve created a Debian package and a sample picture to place in the Grub2 splash, at the computer startup. I’ve uploaded it to a public Git repository which you can download with the following command:
$ git clone http://git.igalia.com/art/grub2-igalia-splashimages.git
You can create and install the Debian package with:
$ cd grub2-igalia-splashimages $ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot ... $ dpkg -i ../grub2-igalia-splashimages*deb
In order to use any of the images in the package to show as Grub2 splash, you just have change a line like:
$ cat /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ... for i in {/boot/grub,/usr/share/images/desktop-base}/moreblue-orbit-grub.{png,tga} ; do ... set color_normal=black/black set color_highlight=magenta/black ...
to
$ cat /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ... for i in {/boot/grub,/usr/share/images/desktop-base,/usr/share/images/grub}/igalia_black.{png,tga} ; do /some_file.tga ... set color_normal=light-gray/black set color_highlight=white/black ...
and run:
$ update-grub2
