Yes I remember following advice from one of those lists in the past.
I have my own list of what to do after installing LL and no doubt others would have too, changing anything I don't like or prefer different is usually high on that list  8)

I changed mine a little while ago as well, in Gimp I went Colours > Invert, made it a nice deep blue.

Remember when they put a list of 10 things you should do after install ubuntu ? ....I think it is coming for LL and this would the 1st thing to do until v3.2... as Jerry promised.

I agree that the default splash image in 3.0 is too light. I'll improve it for 3.2

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?

you have to do this

Code: [Select]
sudo update-initramfs -u

The location has changed just to trick us all  ;D

Code: [Select]
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.

Edit: Yep, Jerry beat me to it  8)

My eyes thank you!  ;D

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

Post #8 in that thread should work.

... 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

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.
