Note 10.X Core

Apple Logo @ Boot

When OSX first boots, I see a light gray background with a darker gray Apple in the center. Where is it? How do I change this? How do I set it as my background?

Field Note #1 @R0GUE 2009-05-11

You can achieve this on genuine Macs by using BootXChanger (name dfork.net/bootxchanger). There are a couple of threads within this board discussing issues with the software on hacks.

Field Note #2 @NebKiwi 2009-05-11

Chameleon 2.0

If you use chameleon 2.0 bootloader, all you need to do is change a png in the theme folder. Look up a chameleon 2.0 tutorial

Field Note #3 @maya77 2009-05-11

I know for 'Extra' folder but don't know where I can find original tutorials for Chameleon 2?
