How can I change the startup splash screen image?... the one that is the white-yellowish background with the feather?  It's is painfully bright when used in a dark room.  I REALLY hate it.  Thanks for help in advance.  Note; I'm not talking about the Xfce splash screen, but the one that displays prior to loading Xfce.  I don't know which component is responsible for that part of the bootup sequence.
... in a dark room. That light yellowish startup screen with the feather is shock to my pupils.  How can I change this image?  thanks.
This thread is related but doesn't seem to work for LL v3.0

Post #8 in that thread should work.

I'm not at home right now, but I believe the path is now /usr/share/plymouth/themes/liteboot/

The location has changed just to trick us all  ;D

Code:
gksudo thunar /usr/share/plymouth/themes/liteboot/background.png

That's the one that has to be edited/replaced.

The rest of the steps are the same as the other post.

My eyes thank you!  ;D
Your eyes are welcome  ;D
I changed mine a little while ago as well, in Gimp I went Colours > Invert, made it a nice deep blue.
Please mark as Solved if fixed.

I tried this solution but it only changes the image on shutdown.
On boot it is still the same bright image  ???

edit: forget it. I did't update the initramfs  ;D

Same here.  I replaced that background.png file and it had no effect at boot up.  thoughts?

[edit] didn't see the above step. trying now...
Code:
sudo update-initramfs -u
