Creating your own Theme

• Copy existing theme to <your_theme_dir>

• Replace images with your own

  • one image for each supported resolution
  • follow naming conventions

• Edit config files to your liking

  • this is a bit tedious
  • Gimp helps figure out pixel coordinates
  • kcolorchooser helps with hex color values
  • one config for each supported resolution

• Edit /etc/sysconfig/bootsplash to point to your theme

• Append to /boot/initrd (splash or mkinitrd)

• Reboot to test or try “splash -s -u <console#> <cfg>”
