Adding Splash ImagesOpen a terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal)...
... and install the grub2-splashimages package: sudo aptitude install grub2-splashimages This installs some splash images in the /usr/share/images/grub directory. To preview them, go to Places > Computer...
... and navigate to the /usr/share/images/grub folder. You should see thumbnails of the available splash images (which have the extension .tga): Right-click the image that you want to use and select Properties.

... with: [...]
for i in {/boot/grub,/usr/share/images/desktop-base,/usr/share/images/grub}/Moraine_Lake_17092005.{png,tga} ; do
[...]
