rEFIt boot logos / labels

pioneer2000 · 25 May 2011 at 16:34

Does anyone know how to setup rEFIt sso I can have 3 unique boot logo's for a triple boot setup on a Mac:

Partition 1) OS X Snow Leopard
Partition 2) OS X Lion
Partition 3) Windows 7 x64

I currently have them all installed and working (although i'm not convinced it is 100% ok as occasionally the rEFIt menu doesn't appear and it boots straight to the Snow Leopard partition.

The issue I have, is that rEFIt identifies both OS X partitions as EFI and so uses the same OS X logo for the menu... I would instead like the each one to have a different logo (i.e. White apple logo for Snow Leopard, Blue for Lion).

Also, Is it possible to edit the text labels on the rEFIt menu, for example to state "OS X Snow Leopard" under the logo?

Thanks!

Bah! Dedicated Mac section of a well established computer forum says NO.....

Does nobody ever run 2 versions of the same OS via rEFIt?

From doing it myself, I am fairly sure everything you want to do is explained in the docs linked in the readme:

Nope, as both OS X partitions are EFI, the instructions on the rEFIt website don't seem to cover this. It'd be fine if I was running e.g. OS X, Ubuntu, Windows, as they are all distinct OS' but it's having both Snow Leopard and Lion that seem to cause problems.
