[Bug 299965] [NEW] no easy way to change debian themes

[Shirish Agarwal]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: grub2

There is no easy way to change splash-screens while booting up in grub2.
To change default splash-screen a user needs to do the following :-

a. Know where the splash screen images reside
b. Know the file where the information for splash screen images is
c. Change the information therein.

Hence had to find the file where splash images are

a. The files are at /usr/share/images/grub/
b. Now edit the file /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme
specifically line 16

from

for i in
{/boot/grub,/usr/share/images/desktop-base}/moreblue-orbit-grub.{png,tga}
; do

to

for i in
{/boot/grub,/usr/share/images/desktop-base,/usr/share/images/grub,/usr/share/pixmaps/splash/}/gnome-splash.{png,tga}
; do

Then do an update-grub

For normal users they should not be expected to know or do invasive
changes like this.
