NOTE: I am not after themes... more just hacking what's here as its faster.



In Ubuntu 18.04 I am trying to change the grub.png/splash.png image, the one you see when GRUB asks you what system you want to boot up, Linux/Windows/etc.



I know how to give myself permissions over a whole folder and its files in usr/share/background/ (which is how I changed my login screen), but if I am going any place near GRUB I want to only give permissions to the actual image - not to GRUB or kernel or other files inside.



Ideas?
