(12.2.2-en) Custom Bootsplash

With a bootsplash, you can show your company logo or a specific image during the booting procedure. The bootsplash will be shown instead of the console messages. You need to provide an image file for your custom bootsplash on a download server.

The file types JPG, JPEG, BMP, PNG, SVG, GIF, and TIFF can be used for a bootsplash. A total storage area of 25 MB is available for all user-specific images. The image is 800 x 600 pixels in size (aspect ratio remains unchanged). It can be positioned vertically and horizontally.
