So now you have told it where to find the theme files. Now you just need to alter your kernel line to specify what theme to use and in which mode. An example is given in [1]. But to view full documentation of kernel parameters for splash type in a terminal (this assumes that you have splashutils installed): # zcat -c /usr/share/doc/splashutils*/kernel_parameters.gz | less Also I have just added two sections to the howto i.e. [2] and [3].
