3. Customizing your Boot Theme

The Boot Theme utility enables you to change the default theme displayed at boot time, as well as a few other options.

The boot theme setting will have no effect if your system isn't set to boot using the graphical mode. Please refer to Section 2, “Changing Your Boot-up Configuration”, for more information on setting the boot mode.

Installing Fancy New Themes. If you only have one theme available, you may install the bootsplash-themes package which you will find in contribs. Other themes are also available on the web.

Create Your Own. The Create new theme button allows you to fully customize an existing boot theme or create a new boot theme from scratch. Adjust the parameters to your liking and save it. It will then be accessible in the available Themes list.
