Hi,
I'm working on cleaning up the bootlogo for CentOS. I just finished and I'm dead tired, but since I didn't find very good documentation on some of this stuff with a google search I wanted to document what I did:
First I took some of the standard artwork and cleaned it up in gimp. I saved the image to a 640x300 14 color ppm.
Looking at the .msg files under the /isolinux directory I was able to figure out that redhat actually uses 7 different text colors in it's menu. Each color has a corresponding hex code that specifies which of the sixteen colors in splash.lss to use. I matched them up as close as possible, and converted the ppm to an lss:
ppmtolss16 "#000100=0" "#7b5b89=9" "#e5dde8=7" "#ffffff=15" "#ff020a=2" "#f1aa23=12" "#9ad02d=10" <centos-boot-clean.ppm
splash.lss
Here is the end result:

Hope you like it. The f7 anaconda looks good eh!
