To replace the GFX images here is how.
Navigate to /etc/grub/
Unpackage the file called message.elyssa by double clicking it and extract all of its contents into a folder called message

Also change the file called message.elyssa to message.elyssa1 or something different.

now in there you have images, change back.jpg to whatever you want your image to be.
Now open a terminal
type the following

Code: Select all

cd /etc/grub/message/

Your now in the folder where you made your changes. Now enter this

Code: Select all

sudo ls . | cpio -o > /etc/grub/message.elyssa

Restart and enjoy.

P.S. If you just want to use that theme you posted or another that is already made. Here is how
Place the theme you want in the /etc/grub folder. You can use the open as root in the right click here.
Now open a terminal. and Type

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

Now on line 17 you should see gfxmenu=/etc/grub/message.elyssa
change the filename at the end to what you want: With the theme you linked to that would be: 51031-message.linuxhack
Save that and your done.
