Hey everyone. I'm curious if there is a way to set the resolution of the mac osx startup (loading) screen. The white one, with the grey apple logo.

 

I realize this is hardly an important feature. But. I've had my hackintosh for just about a year now trouble free. And though I can't say the stretched screen really bothers me for the 10 seconds of loading...it would be cool if I could change it. Without breaking something.

 

Anyone?

open terminal and type:

sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

above </dict> add

 

<key>Graphics Mode</key>

<string>1680×1050x32</string>

 

quit and save

 

it should look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string></string>
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1680x1050x32</string>
</dict>
</plist>
