thanks Did you test these to make sure they look ok on boot? The progress bar and some other small PNG is missing also. It would be better if you could test these on your computer after drawing them so we don't have to do small iterations of small polish uploads, or at least not too many. $sudo apt-get build-dep xubuntu-artwork-usplash $sudo apt-get source xubuntu-artwork-usplash cd to xubuntu-artwork-usplash dir replace the PNGs with yours $debuild -us -uc $sudo dpkg -i ../*deb now set this up as the default artwork if not already $sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so and put it in the initramfs so the kernel sees it on boot $sudo  dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-`uname -r` I hope I did not get any of these wrong now with such labourious iterations you can test the splash until you think it is just ok for upload. thanks Jani
