I want to change the Image that comes up when my system is booting up

 

Where is the image file located for this? Also, it there a way to add a start up sound as well

 

Im running Lion 10.7.2 and I have Chameleon installed on a Qosmio F55 Notebook

My boot screen always bothered me because the aspect ratio was wrong, the apple in the middle was short and fat (at 1680x1050 resolution)

I tried adding

<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1680x1050</string>

to /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist, but it didn't help.

 

Now I came up with a dirty nice little fix. I added:

<key>Legacy Logo</key>
<string>No</string>

to my /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist, and then replaced my boot.png in Extra/Themes/Default/ with this one:

bootcd.png

which is too tall and thin, but now because of the aforementioned aspect ratio problems, that one appears as a nice round apple.

I'm happy again.
