REFIT theme (The bootloader for Intel Macs)

Hello everyone

So I installed arch on my MacBook, and those of you who use refit (the bootloader) knows that it will show you an apple (for mac os) and a penguin (for linux).

Everyone loves penguins, but I wanted more. So I looked up how to change the picture and ended up making up two icons to replace the penguin.

After install, once refit has presented it's menu the Linux penguin will be replaced by the blue Arch logo. When arch is loading the logo will show up as gray (I made it gray as the apple logo is gray when loading looks good imo!)

OK, it wasn't really time consuming or hard to do, but to spare you the work I thought I'd put the "refit theme" here. Its made of high quality images I found on google so the images have transparent backgrounds and does not look rough but simply "like theyre supposed to be there".

You need to log in to Mac OS (or access yoru refit partition) to install this.

Nice. I tried my own icon-theme for rEFIt, but I couldn't find a way to save working icns-Icons. The PNGs I modified lose their alpha-channel after using png2icns.
