As a Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS 32-bit user I have installed various desktop environments and discovered that somehow the loading screen and the background of GRUB2 changed from pink to grey together with a change in the icon displaying during the initial loading before user login. To revert the change I removed the installed packages with the purge option but the neither GRUB or the loading screen returned to their original state. Is it possible to restore the default behaviour of these components?

Thanks

step 1 Install grub customizer

step1.a open a terminal - hold down CTRL and ALT keys and tap T

step 1.b sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer

step 1.c sudo apt-get update

step 1.d sudo apt-get install grub-customizer

step 2 run grub customizer

step 2.a select Appearance settings tab

step 2.b choose the color(s) you desire for font, background and highlighted font and background from the selections on the left of the window. Do NOT choose the same color for font and background as you will effectively blind yourself to the choices on the grub menu.

step 2.c Click save

step 3. Choose File then Install to MBR (you should get the option to choose the original drive you placed the MBR on when installing. In my case /dev/sda)

step 4. Close grub customizer

step 5. reboot.
