With a bootsplash, you can show your company logo or a specific image during the boot procedure in order to hide the console output from the user.

Requirements: You need to provide an image file for your custom bootsplash on a download server.

Information regarding the image: The file types BMP, JPG, GIF, TIF, PNG and SVG are supported for a bootsplash. A total storage area of 25 MB is available for all user-specific images.

The image is 800 x 600 pixels in size (aspect ratio remains unchanged). It can be positioned vertically and horizontally by changing the position values.


To set up a custom bootsplash, proceed as follows:

  1. Enable Custom Bootsplash.
  2. Specify your download server.


    If you have already defined a server for the system update files, you can use the same server settings for downloading the boot image.
  3. Configure the following further settings:
    • Custom Bootsplash file: Give the name of the file that you want to display here.
    • Horizontal/Vertical Position of the bootsplash image: Give the horizontal and vertical position of the displayed image.
    • Horizontal/Vertical Position of the progress indicator: Give the horizontal and vertical position of the progress bar.
      0 means left-justified, 50 centered and 100 right-justified.


The user-specific bootsplash will be downloaded from the given server if you

  • enable Custom Bootsplash - see Step 1
    or
  • click on Bootsplash update if you previously assigned and saved another image during the setup
    or
  • you execute a scheduled Job in the IGEL Universal Management Suite with the command Update Desktop Customization.


    After changing the image file or any setting of an existing custom bootsplash, make sure to execute one of the above actions in order to update the bootsplash.
