=== Changing the u-boot splash image ===
 
 
The u-boot splash image is on its own partition. According to ticket <strike>[http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1735 1735]</strike>:
 
To replace the splash screen image on the device you need to convert the PNG file to a compressed raw frame buffer content and then flash this into the splash screen partition.
 
For the conversion, go to svn.openmoko.org/trunk/src/host/splash/ and run
 
  ./splashimg.pl boot_image.png | gzip -9 >new_splash.gz
 
If your update process runs under Linux (OE package ?) you'd then execute the following commands:
 
  flash_eraseall /dev/mtd4
 
  nandwrite -p /dev/mtd4 new_splash.gz
 
If you update through DFU, you would:
 
  dfu-util -a splash -R -D new_splash.gz
 
Note the NOR also contains a copy of the splash screen. If you generate a new NOR image with "mknor", just specify the new image with -s boot_image.png, and it will put the "openmoko" text near the bottom of the screen.

One may change the Splash screen, Customize Application Icons, change Ringtones and customize the windows decoration with Edje. But there is not much yet by way of ready-to-use themes for changing the look and feel of the phone with `opkg'.

Where to find themes

A Tango variant for Illume based distros is at [1].

A GTK theme for the tango theme is at [2]

The Enlightenment exchange repository has themes, modules and applications.

There are a few background images for the Display Locker screen in Om 2007.2.
