I have installed fbsplah and fbcondecor.
It works well if I use the themes "arch-black" and "arch-banner".
However, when I change my own picture, it fails to load either silent or verbose mode.
I've wonder whether the size of my picture is too large, but I replaced a small one, either.
Anyone knows?

As you mentioned you want to use this image which is 1280x720. I assume you have the same resolution in tty. If not, you have to scale the image to the right one and use that resolution to the steps I describe below.
We'll go on the easy way and edit the arch-black theme in order not to create a new one. Browse in /etc/splash/arch-black/images, and rename silent-1280x720.png to silent-1280x720.png.bak and verbose-1280x720.png to verbose-1280x720.png.bak.
As root
cd /etc/splash/arch-black/images
mv silent-1280x720.png silent-1280x720.png.bak
mv verbose-1280x720.png verbose-1280x720.png.bak
Then we'll copy your image (which is cool btw! ) to /etc/splash/arch-black/images. As root
cp yourimage.png silent-1280x720.png
cp yourimage.png verbose-1280x720.png
Do a test to see if all went right.

The image I use is 1920x1080. If you didn't mentioned I would not now after my upload it became 1280x720.
But anyways, I don't think this is the issue.
I copied my image to recover both /etc/splash/arch-black/images/verbose-1920x1080.png and /etc/splash/arch-black/images/silent-1920x1080.png
and then ran ...
[aeon@Exheamns ~]$ sudo splash_manager -c demo -m v --delay=10 --tty=2 -t arch-black
Failed to load image //etc/splash/arch-black/images/verbose-1920x1080.png.
Failed to load image //etc/splash/arch-black/images/silent-1920x1080.png.
I don't know why. A good person told me it could be the dimension problem, but I don't know about that.

I tried to copy images from "arch-banner-icons".
[aeon@Exheamns ~]$ sudo cp /etc/splash/arch-banner-icons/images/silent-1920x1080.png /etc/splash/arch-black/images/silent-1920x1080.png
[aeon@Exheamns ~]$ sudo cp /etc/splash/arch-banner-icons/images/verbose-1920x1080.png /etc/splash/arch-black/images/verbose-1920x1080.png
[aeon@Exheamns ~]$ sudo splash_manager -c demo -m v --delay=10 --tty=2 -t arch-black
It works well.
Does that woman work in your computer?

Oh, God my father.
It works now.
I just changed the image type to jpeg.
But Why png cannot work?

You' re sure when you upscaled the image you saved it as png?
Offline
Yes, I'm sure.
I used gimp to scare it and saved as png, but I just opened the upscared png by Image Viewer and saved is as jpeg.
Is that due to gimp?
I'll try save png by Image Viewer later, I am not in font of my laptop now.

The png works now.
I just saved it by using Gnome image viewer.
I think the problem is gimp.
