Hey guys!
I'm here to teach how get your grey Apple Boot Screen in BLACK! So, those guys who have a Graphics Card that don't have Vesa options to boot in the right resolution... You can make all the thing black with an Apple Logo in the center. It looks awesome!
I spend like a month searching in every forum at the web how to do it, but i found no way that works for me. I'm was considering change my Gtx460 just because this little issue i was having.
So, i found one guy in YouTube that knew how to do it. I talked to him and he teach me! Now i'm here sharing knowledge.
Let's start:
YouTube link to see how it will be: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A410IpOH1PY
Step 1- Make All Files appear (Terminal command for Mavericks: "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean true" no quotes) (No "-boolean" for other OS). Then, "killall Finder" command.
Step 2- Go to your hard drive directory and you will see a "boot" file. Backup this file and open the "boot" file with (my option) Hex Fiend (http://ridiculousfish.com/hexfiend/)
Step 3- In Hex Fiend program, tap Command+F and write "BFBFBF"(No quotes), press enter, and you will see the BF BF BF line.
Step 4- One at time, erase BF and Write 00 (3x) So, there's no more "BF's" (which is the Grey color in Hex).
Step 5- Save and restart.
Step 6- Enjoy your new Apple Black Screen Boot-up!
*You must mod the "logo.png" in Extra/Theme's folder to get another Apple logo who will be nice with the Black color, and maybe you will need to resize the "logo.png".
*And you must know that the Apple spinning wheel will despair. (If anyone know's how to make it visible, it will be great)
I wanna say Thank you to Nick Akey, who is the guy of the YouTube video that teach me how to do it!
That's it Guys!
I hope you like it.
