I tried this solution but it only changes the image on shutdown.
On boot it is still the same bright image  ???

edit: forget it. I did't update the initramfs  ;D

Same here.  I replaced that background.png file and it had no effect at boot up.  thoughts?

Code:

sudo update-initramfs -u

I agree that the default splash image in 3.0 is too light. I'll improve it for 3.2

Your eyes are welcome  ;D
I changed mine a little while ago as well, in Gimp I went Colours > Invert, made it a nice deep blue.

Remember when they put a list of 10 things you should do after install ubuntu ? ....I think it is coming for LL and this would the 1st thing to do until v3.2... as Jerry promised.

Yes I remember following advice from one of those lists in the past.
I have my own list of what to do after installing LL and no doubt others would have too, changing anything I don't like or prefer different is usually high on that list  8)
