This is the GRUB2 background image of the Debian GNU/Linux theme.

Intended locations in filesystem: 
/usr/share/images/desktop-base/journey-grub.png
/usr/share/images/desktop-base/journey-grub-widescreen.png


Intended locations in desktop-base source package: 
/grub/journey-grub.png
/grub/journey-grub-widescreen.png


HOW TO SET THE GRUB BACKGROUND:
-------------------------------

USING ALTERNATIVES

The wallpaper is set using the "alternative" mechanism. If you want to switch to the widescreen version or to another theme included in Debian:

sudo update-alternatives --config desktop-grub

The settings for the alternatives are installed by the postinst script of the desktop-base deb package. 

The alternatives settings for the splash screens are saved in 
/var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/desktop-grub


MANUALLY
  
If you want to set a different picture:

- Become root
- Edit the symlink /usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png
  to point to the intended grub-background, for instance:
  /usr/share/images/desktop-base/journey-grub.png
- Run update-grub

   

--------------------
Exact Configuration:
--------------------

The Grub 2 wallpaper is configured in:

/usr/share/desktop-base/grub_background.sh

which points to:

/usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png

that symlinks to our background picture, for instance:

/usr/share/images/desktop-base/journey-grub.png
