Yes, I’ve been playing. Here’s another handy little tip.
See, I initially used Midori browser but the friggin’ thing kept on crashing no matter what I did. After trying a couple of tweaks it kept on playing the memory leak game(Midori has the memory leak, not me) so I figured stuff it and slapped on Chromium.
Step 1
Install chromium, x11-xserver-utils and unclutter:
sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install chromium x11-xserver-utils unclutter
Install some fonts to make it a little more sexy:
sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

This solution works but there are a few seconds of text shown before the boot image appears.
Install fbi
sudo apt-get install fbi
Copy the splashscreen image to be used
Copy your custom splash image into: /etc/ and name it “splash.png“.
Presumably the resolution to use is 1920x1080px.
Create A Script
sudo nano
Paste the following into the text editor:
#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: asplashscreen
# Required-Start:
# Required-Stop:
# Should-Start:
# Default-Start: S
# Default-Stop:
# Short-Description: Show custom splashscreen
# Description: Show custom splashscreen
### END INIT INFO
do_start () {
/usr/bin/fbi -T 1 -noverbose -a /etc/splash.png
exit 0
}
