You're not really that clear on what you want but it seems you want a background image when booting Grub. The page below explains it. If you want something else, more details.

that's the problem with having a gui utility for everything - it breeds clueless people.
cybernetico, i suggest you learn a few very simple things about editing the grub config files, most importantly /etc/default/grub. read the link yancek posted.
also, after every change you have to run !!! |

Maybe?
Don't think you have the size limit anymore. Ultimate screen size ought to be available in most newer distro's at grub.

Your post was good. I was just offering a second choice. 
You may be right that a number of choices are available. At one time it was very specific format and size and location. |

You're not helping yourself to get any help with cryptic statements like that. What did you try and what didn't work? I have an installation of Ubuntu and using the link I posted it worked just fine. |
