Default Dual boot - Snow Leopard & Windows 7 boot logos - 03-13-2010, 04:56 PM

First of all, hi all and thank you for sharing all this useful knowledge.
Special thanks to pokenguyen who made this wonderful guide:
Simple way to create Dual Boot : Snow Leopard and Windows 7

After installing everything, my Chameleon bootloader showed only 2 hard drives and I wanted to make it look a bit cooler, so I created PNGs with Apple and Windows logos I wanted to share with you guys.


So... how the hell do I change the hard drive pictures by fancy logos?
Well, quite easy.

1 - On the Finder menu (grey bar on top), click GO > Go to Folder
2 - A box pops up, write "/extra/themes" and click Go
3 - Go to the default folder and replace device_hfsplus.png and device_ntfs.pg by both files attached to this post.

Reboot and you should get OS logos instead of hard drives.

<key>Hide Partition</key>
<string>hd(0,1)</string>

Hides partition one of disk 0.

You can see disk info in disk utility for each parition by right clicking and I think it's get info.
