How to change gfxboot theme (I don't mean background)

Ok, so after some searching I found out that gfxboot in opensuse behaves different as the one in other distributions - and that’s really annoying. By far I’ve only found a way to extract the message.cpio archive from /boot/ folder, and put there custom background, and save it as message file again.

But what with such themes?

KDE 4 gfxboot theme KDE-Look.org

I can’t use them, because

  1. the only thing I can change is background

  2. I can’t change the position of the text

Is there any way to change additional parts in gfxboot.cfg in the message file, or to apply additional themes as in other distros? (adding a line in front of menu.lst pointing to the theme)

Bump. Any ideas?

Hi
I would imagine grabbing the src rpm that creates
gfxboot-branding-openSUSE

Search here Get It and
search for the above and grab the gfxboot src rpm and modify as
required.
