    there are size, color and format restrictions for GRUB image.
    pick up any image and covert it to 640x480 size, 14 colors and xpm format.
    Code:
    convert anyimage.jpg -resize 640x480 -colors 14 new_splash.xpm
gzip new_splash.xpm
mv new_splash.xpm.gz /boot/grub/
    open /boot/grub/menu.lst file and replace splash image name with new_splash.
    Code:
    splashimage=(hdx,x)/grub/new_splash.xpm.gz
    change filename only and leave everything else in line as it is.
    reboot machine.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    i do evry thing that u say but nothing changed. i add the menu.lst additional line and copy the splash.xpm.gz in /boot/grub/, but the deault GRUB graphic is still there.
    my distribution is suse 10.1.
    i should note that there is no *.xpm.gz in /boot/grub/ and no line similar to "splashimage=(hdx,x)/grub/new_splash.xpm.gz" in menu.lst

    what now?
    thanks

    SuSE's GRUB is not your usual GRUB, it is gfx grub. You need special themes to change it.
