Customising Boot Logo

[bitsnpcs]

Hello VN,

I do not know how to customise the boot screen, other than a recent post about about changing the user image, this is covered in the LL manual also.

You can use "Bootchart" which will make an  png image in /var/log/bootchart showing the analysis of the last boot.
Or
An alternative is to use "Systemd", this has a graphical interface (GUI) available as an add on called  "Systemadm" examples ¹.

Code: [Select]

systemd-analyze plot>boot.svg    #visualize boot process in boot.svg

Code: [Select]

systemd-analyze  #prints time taken to boot kernel and load services

Code: [Select]

systemd-analyze blame | head  # lists of processes that take most time
Source
¹ Linux Format#188 pg36.

Mouse pointers there are many mouse themes at XFCE Look (link below). Some have a variety of sets in the theme, so it gives options.
I use this theme http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php/OpenZone?content=111343
it is simple in appearance/not fancy, suits me (lol), and works very well for me.

You can edit the image of X11 cursors in Gimp using this plug-in -

Hi
Can any one tell me whether there is a graphical interface to customise Boot Logo & Boot Splash Screen
I wanted to have a Blank Screen with a Stop Clock showing the time needed to Boot up
How can I make this

Mouse Pointers are a bit awkward (Subjective)
I have installed few themes for Cursor
Yet not satisfied, is there a way to customise the mouse pointers.
Yours
VN
