Custom boot splash not loading #655

Closed marierau98 closed 3 years ago

marierau98 commented 3 years ago

Hello, I want to create an Image with a custom boot logo. I´ve already copied the file into "thinstation/build/utils/tools/splash/default" and also into "etc/splash/default" (its in the desired resolution folder) but when Iam trying to boot its still showing the orginal thinstation picture (I´ve renamed my picture into silent aswell). Am I missing any further steps? How can I configure my own picture during boot?

Thanks in advance!

The first time you run build, it will convert the 1024x768 theme into all known resolutions. Subsequent runs will not. If you need to regen all the resolutions, remove all the resolutions besides 1024x768. Place a silent.jpg of 1024x768 in that folder, and run build again. Alternatively, you can use a scalable image. make a folder in the resolutions folder called scalable. Copy the 1024x768.cfg into that folder along with a silent.svg, remove 1024x768 folder, then run build.

i'm getting a black screen if i proceed as instructed.

Which instructions? scalable or jpg

marierau98 commented 3 years ago

The blackscreen appears when i use jpg. When I use scalable Iam seeing the screen where it shows that its loading the thinstation file (no boot image nor progress bar).

I know the .jpg is a little sensitive. Might try editing the existing one, and pasting the pixels in that you want. Not sure where your going wrong with scalable.

Thinstation commented 3 years ago

Actually I think I know what's up with scalable. Before doing the first build, edit the 1024x768.cfg, and change silent.jpg to silent.png

Thinstation commented 3 years ago

I've added a scalable theme template. To use it, change boottheme in build.conf to scalable, and replace the silent.svg in build/utils/tools/splash/scalable/scalable/

marierau98 commented 3 years ago

Iam getting a blackscreen now just like the jpg. My steps: 1) create "scalable" folder in /thinstation/build/utils/tools/splash 2) change boottheme in build.conf to scalable 3) create "scalable" folder in /thinstation/build/utils/tools/splash/scalable 4) copy silent.svg (I´ve renamed the file beforehand) and 1024x768.cfg (the one with silent.png) into /thinstation/build/utils/tools/splash/scalable/scalable 5) run ./build 6) copy rufus & boot folder to usb drive and boot device

(The resolution folders are deleted except the created scalable)

Ive also attached the used svg file.

test picture svg.zip

Am I missing out a step or doing one wrong?

Nevermind, I forgot to nename the config from 1024x768.cfg to scalable.cfg. Its working now, thank you for your help!
