How do I customize USplash?

Before starting, make sure you understand the following:

  • The PNG must be: 640x480 16 colours.
  • Some palette entries are used for particular purposes:

Palette

Reason

0

Background color

0

Text background color

1

Progress bar color

2

Text foreground color

4

Progress bar background color

13

Failure color

After that, the process is simple, just follow these steps:

1. Install BOGL packages needed

  • - apt-get install libbogl-dev

2. Run these steps to get your splash built:

  • - cp yourimage.png usplash-artwork.png

    - pngtobogl usplash-artwork.png > usplash-artwork.c

    - gcc -Os -g -I/usr/include/bogl -fPIC -c usplash-artwork.c -o usplash-artwork.o

    - gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,usplash-artwork.so usplash-artwork.o -o yourimage-splash.so

3. Copy your splash to the usplash directory and create a new link:

  • - cp yourimage-splash.so /usr/lib/usplash/yourimage-splash.so

    - ln -sf /usr/lib/usplash/yourimage-splash.so /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-artwork.so

That's all. Reboot, and enjoy.
