Also on the subject of the wiki, I've also customised the Gnome splash screen - when I get back to my Fedora PC at home I'll post the specs for the image so you can add them too.

Hi Andy,

Actually, saying that I've just remembered it wasn't the boot screens per se I posted about, but the Grub boot loader screen (background.) I didn't get it sorted, the machine it's on is a dev box which I haven't logged on to for a couple of weeks - but AFAIK I'm still trying to find the answer to getting a custom Grub background working.

I'm going to ask around and see if I can get more information about that.

What I DID accomplish was the rest of the RHGB screens, which are simply PNG images in the /usr/share/rhgb folder, and can be replaced by custom ones. To create a custom "throbber" (the animation of a few circles spinning round), create a PNG image of 288x24 - then in that image you need 12 images of 24x24 placed side-by-side, so when viewed left to right - that's your animation.

Replace the /usr/share/rhgb/throbber-anim.png image with your image, reboot and you're sorted!

In Fedora, the /usr/share/rhgb/large-computer.png isn't used - there are 2 other image - one which is the fedora system logo (the bubbly f), the other is the word "fedora" in the bottom-right corner. Replace these with your own PNGs and bingo, you've got a nice customised system :)

This is really helpful, thanks for writing this up!

Would you mind if I added it to our wiki page [1] about all the different parts of Fedora that can be customized?
