Cutesy Boot: Fun BIOS IMages

Just simply, I wasn't a huge fan of the current BIOS logos as my splash screen.
So we decided to write a guide to change that!

We currently work well with Skulls (see this Github PR) but are hoping to expand support for many other projects such as OSBoot or LibreBoot.


I'm working on potentially resizing and converting all the images from the EPuters website to be posted here:


How to install

Skulls

The current Skull docs are usually well documented on how to replace the splash screen.

Usually it just requires replacing the splashscreen.jpg with whatever image you want ( as long as it is also named splashscreen.jpg).

Besides that, you can use ImageMagick or another tool tool.

  • mogrify logo.jpg -interlace none <splashscreen>
  • mogrify logo.jpg -sampling-factor 4:2:0 <splashscreen>
  • convert <splashscreen> -resize 1024x768! <splashscreen> # optional, but converts image size to match screen dimensions

If you are using another tool, just make sure any 'progressive' modes are turned off and the subsampling is set to 4:2:0 (chroma quartered).

ImageMagick can also be used to convert images of another format into .jpg using the convert tool.

Note: replace <splashscreen> with the file name.
