Is there a way I can change my Grub Loader Suse puts in from that green to black on White (or some other color) or even place a picture in the background??.

I had copied these steps from info I suppose:

  1. Create your image, and transform it into a XPM file, 640x480, with
    14 colors:

    $ convert my-nice-image.jpg -colors 14 -geometry 640x480! my-nice-image.xpm

    gzip it:

    $ gzip my-nice-image.xpm

  2. Change your menu.lst file to include the new commands:

Set colors for foreground and background:

(RRGGBB, in hex)

These are optional it will still work without them

foreground = ffffff
background = 000000

The splash image location (doesn’t need to be the root partition, BTW,

since grub can read your filesystem):

splashimage=(hd0,5)/boot/grub/my-nice-image.xpm.gz

where the path (hd0,5) is of the default booting operating system, or may be where the file resides.

  1. Reboot, and see your splash image. You may want to fine tune the colors used
    for the text

Note if the path to the splashimage file happens to be wrong you will get a
really messed up looking screen.

There is a grub splashimage howto here:
GNU GRUB splashimage howto

Hope u get what u need to.
