Bug#265352: grub: Debian splash images for Grub

[Roger Leigh]

Package: grub
Version: 0.95+cvs20040624-7
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

I noticed recently that Debian Grub now had splash image support...
but no splash images!  I wanted a nice Debian splash screen, and so 
I've created some.  Feel free to include them in a future release.

They can be found here:

  http://people.debian.org/~rleigh/grub-images/

I suggest this example configuration:
# Graphical boot
root (hd0,4)
splashimage /boot/grub/debian-boot.xpm.gz
foreground ffffff
background d70751


The best splash screen is debian-boot.xpm.gz.  I've included the Gimp
XCF image which was the source (the XPM has had the layers merged, the
colours reduced to 14 using the custom palette also found here, and the
sarge logo was manually edited to remove nasty artifacts.  I've also
included the XCF source, a modified version of openlogo.eps (I added a
black background and changed the text to white, which was then rendered
to an RGB image with nice anti-aliasing).  The Sarge stripes were taken
from DebianPlanet.

Feel free to adapt the XCF for whatever you like.  Everything is in
layers, so you can move it all around, add new stuff, etc.  I'm no
artist, so feel free to improve upon it!

Regards,
Roger
