62 There's no need to have any tool. You have to make a picture for your
63 verbose mode and / or silent mode, and then study the resolution.cfg
64 syntax (http://www.bootsplash.org) and create one for your theme... when
65 everything is done, you only have to recompile your kernel with the new
66 theme or create a new initramfs, the one that you want to use.

68 Bye.
