Splash Screen Overwrite

[csteamengine]

Hello again, I have been thinking of making my own custom splash screen, and I know there is a line in the config file to disable the splash, but I was wondering where the actual splash file is located so I could just override it. If anyone knows where that file is located, that would be awesome. If not, then I can always just disable it and then implement my own splash screen, and see if that works.

Thanks!

Just checking back to see if anyone knows how to overwrite the splash screen that just says "EZ-WifiBroadcast 1.6 (RC3)" or something like that. Thanks in advance!

Take a look at /etc/init.d/ on your wbc-image. Somewhere in there must be a start-script that calls wifibroadcast_status/wbc_status [some parameters]

wbc_status is the programm that displays the text.

I do not have the image at hand but I hope this pushes you in the right direction

I don't think the "EZ-WifiBroadcast 1.6 (RC3)" is actually a splash screen (image), more that the code first loads a graphics code snippet then displays it as large font text. I can't remember where it is but if you clone the repository then search for the splash screen text, you'll find where it is called. For a simple update, just change the text and recompile. For a more advanced update, you'll need to know how to manipulate the graphics code (I'm guessing it's open source so docs will be available somewhere).

Yes, it's the same tool that also display the status messages like "2nd display detected" etc. It's called in /etc/init.d/raspi-config (which gets started early during boot-up, that's why it's in that script. Yes, I also could've made a proper script, but that would've required to deal with that crap piece of Poettinger software and I rather avoid that).

Ok, I was able to finally locate that line of text, thank you guys for your help!
