Default Dual Boot Logo missing - 03-04-2010, 05:18 PM

I have dual boot working well (By Pressing CNTL Key at start) on Dell Mini10v , however I don't see Apple Logo as well as MS Win Logo when I get the choice to select which OS I want Dell Mini to boot with. All I see is 2 Disks Pic with Windows NTFS Lebel for Win OS and MAC for SL OS. How Can I change to suitable Logos.

Thanks

Working triple boot (OSX, Win7, Ubuntu) - through Chameleon

If you search, you can find other Chameleon themes. Most of them are not sized to display properly on the 10v, so you may have to resize the graphics files to the scale of the default theme.

What file should replace these files?

You need to locate the OS logo icons that you want to be displayed. If you search for Chameleon themes, you will find many variations. You can also extract the ones from an older version of NBI. Or, if you like them, here are the ones I use.

Thanks for those pics.


Where do you customize the label that is displayed just blow the pictures? I always see NTFS for Win and MAC for OS. Just wanted to know where/how this can be customized?

I don't believe that can be easily customized.

I right clicked and saved these over the top of the existing files, and when they load now there's a white background around the icons (which are themselves pretty small) against the grey Chameleon background.

Have I made a colossal schoolboy error?

Sounds like somehow the icons lost their background transparency when you saved them. Open them up and see if they have a white instead of transparent (usually shows as a checkerboard pattern) background.

Thanks - and if they do, can I just edit in Photoshop? I'd test it but I don't want to ruin the boot due to a faulty graphic, much as I doubt that would happen, but then if you really can just edit them yourself then surely they can just be easily customised.
