Add Background to GRUB

Would be very boring if it were treated with GRUB look very simple. In this article i will explain how to add background on GRUB to make it more interesting.

The first step to run the terminal and then run the following command:

sudo aptitude install grub2-splashimages

Open folder /usr/share/images/grub then you will find examples the images for GRUB background.

edit 05_debian_theme by running the command

sudo gedit /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme

At line 26 you must a little editing so that it becomes like this. For example now I choose Fly-Angel picture

for i in {/boot/grub,/usr/share/images/grub}/Fly-Angel.{png,tga} ; do

Save and close gedit
Run this command to update your GRUB

sudo update-grub

The last step is restart your computer and see your GRUB appearance becomes more attractive because it uses background

Good luck :)
