GRUB 2¶
A background image for GNU GRUB 2 is available in aurora/grub and can be installed in /usr/share/images/desktop-base, in the file system.
GRUB settings need to be updated to change the value of the following variables:
- background_image=/usr/share/images/desktop-base/aurora-wide-grub.png
- color_highlight=yellow/black
- menu_color_highlight=yellow/blue
After making the changes and running update-grub, the section ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### in GRUB configuration file, /boot/grub/grub.cfg, should look like this:
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ###
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos1)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root f535ebcb-0808-4a36-8fa1-127938d1837d
insmod png
if background_image /usr/share/images/desktop-base/aurora-wide-grub.png; then
set color_normal=white/black
set color_highlight=yellow/black
else
set menu_color_normal=white/blue
set menu_color_highlight=yellow/blue
fi
### END /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ###
