Mac-like bootup

[LENJ]

I'm not entirely happy with how it looks when I boot up.
For instance, I'd like to see a splash screen up until it's completely booted (/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=18040). I'm planning on doing this later.

However, the bootloader I'm currently using is not fullscreen (1920x1080).
I have tried editing the theme.plist, resizing the images, but nothing has worked so far and I'm puzzled. It doesn't seem like this has any effect.

Wondering if someone's out there who can help me.
I'd really appreciate it.

EDIT:
So the Apple loading screen is non-fullscreen and I want to have this changed.

This is what it looks like now: http://i.imgur.com/huxz2.jpg

Thanks for the reply.
I have tried a few options that you've linked, but I haven't found the solution within them.

Whenever I change the theme.plist's dimensions, they don't actually change, they're set to a fixed width and height.
In com.apple.Boot.plist I have:
<key>GraphicsMode</key>
<string>1920x1080x32</string>

I've also attached my theme.plist to this post.
Both width/height parameters have been changed to my dimensions, but when I boot up my machine it doesn't show any change.

I'm still trying to figure this one out.

Again, thanks.
