Power Mac Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Hi, I'd like to know if there's a way to obtain the new dark bootscreen (black wallpaper with white Apple logo and progress bar), introduced by Yosemite (only on recent Macs). Oddly, I don't have it (I say oddly because my hackintosh is identified as Mac Pro 6,1). I already tried with a script developed on MacRumors, but it seems to work only on real Macs. Maybe there's a theme for Chameleon copied from the original files? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power Mac Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 As I wrote, I'm currently using Chameleon bootloader. Maybe there's some chances that there's an equivalent command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power Mac Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 What? Maybe you're not up-to-date, but that is the new bootscreen! Anyway, thanks for the help (it's my fault, the word "logo" in the topic's title can be confusing). If it only there was a way to extract the .png files from the very Yosemite, I could use them for my current Chameleon theme. But I hope for a command like the one found in Clover. What I know is that if one uses Chameleon, the bootscreen is drawn by the bootloader without using the boot.fi instructions. So far, I could change the Apple logo, but the background is still grey, whatever wallpaper I use as background.png. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Power Mac Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Ok, I manually changed the background to make it all black, via this command: cd / sudo perl -pi.bak -e 's;\xff\xff\xff\xbf\xbf\xbf;\xff\xff\xff\x00\x00\x00;g' boot I also changed the Apple logo via a Chameleon theme, to make it white. Now the only thing to be adjusted is the loading bar: how can I make it white? Changing it in Chameleon has no effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnrey Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Did you try to change the progress_bar.png inside of /Extra/Themes/Default (or whatever Theme you have) and make it black. I wanted the new boot screen, too so I went to Clover and Voilá! I have the 'real' new boot screen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Power Mac Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 For the last time, I do use CHAMELEON, and yes, I tried, but the progress bar you refer to is actually used in the drives selection screen, not during the actual boot (and that's why I had to modify the boot file located in the root of my drive with a terminal command to make the screen black). Also, the loading bar is white, not black, as you can see from the picture I posted. Anyway, if you want the real new boot screen, there's a specific command for Clover, you can find in the link provided by jamiethemorris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
