I can not get a background png screen to work on my system with Grub 1.98. Here are my configurations...if anyone can help please. My /boot drive is a separate partition which is sda2.
| Code: | 1.
localhost one # file /boot/grub/themes/orange.png
2.

3.
localhost one # cat /etc/default/grub
4.
GRUB_BACKGROUND=/boot/grub/themes/orange.png
5.
localhost one # cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg

I'm not sure but I don't think grub supports PNG. You should use .xpm.gz, and there are complex restrictions on the palette set allowed (I think 16 colors but in practice only 14 or so are usable).
Again I may be wrong as it's been a long time since I messed with grub backgrounds. |

Here is my grub2 cfg file. I use a tga image for the background, you can use the gimp to save your png as one.
