Hello List,

Between the boot splash and the graphical login manager, there is a
screen with a black and white checkerd background and a big black
"X" which is the mouse.

Does anyone know how to change this background to something
prettier, as to make the switch from bootsplash to login manager,
somewhat more fluent?

Thanks!
Mark
