select whatever background you want in the mx-boot-options background chooser.Spaceman Spiff wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2019 2:33 pm How do I change the grub background to the sparrowhawk mx image?
Code: Select all
export GRUB_MENU_PICTURE="/usr/share/backgrounds/MXLinux/grub/linen-gradientblu-grub.png"
Code: Select all
sudo update-grub
But note the limitation on png pics as well. I've encountered that before for some complex png pics....If we want to change the Background of grub menu, the image should be PNG, JPG or TGA image. JPG/ JPEG images must be 8-bit (256 color). Else you will get errors, so the PNG images are preferable. Images should be non-indexed, RGB.
Thanks!
Code: Select all
echo " set color_normal=yellow/black"
echo " set menu_color_normal=cyan/black"
echo " set menu_color_highlight=red/black"
I tried this procedure, (MX Boot Options), using MX 19.1. I get, first a blue screen, then a black screen. The procedure must have changed huh?dolphin_oracle wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2019 3:12 pmselect whatever background you want in the mx-boot-options background chooser.Spaceman Spiff wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2019 2:33 pm How do I change the grub background to the sparrowhawk mx image?
or edit the Grub_background_picture (I think) line in /etc/default/grub, and do a "sudo update-grub".
but that's what mx-boot-options will do anyway.
