Grub Image
I. The default background image used by grub during the boot process is:
/usr/share/images/bunsen/grub/default.png
Changing the blue version to the grey one can be done by simply copying (as root) /usr/share/images/bunsen/wallpapers/default/BL-Beam-plain-grey.png to /usr/share/images/bunsen/grub/ - rename it to default.png while renaming the original default.png to something like default.png.old and if your root system is encrypted, run
sudo update-grub
.or you can edit /etc/default/grub:
GRUB_BACKGROUND="/path/to/some/image.png"
Default Login Background
The default login background is
/usr/share/images/bunsen/login/default.png
Changing the blue version to the grey one is basically the same as above: Copy the appropriate file (as root) e.g. flame-text-1920x1200-right.png (there might be a better one depending on the screen resolution) from /usr/share/images/bunsen/wallpapers/default to /usr/share/images/bunsen/login/ and rename it to default.png while renaming the original default.png to something like default.png.old -> done!
WallPaper
Changing the desktop background (wallpaper) is easy via Menu/Preferences/Choose Wallpaper. If I’m not mistaken the files are in the ~/Pictures/wallpapers directory.
bunsen Labs Exit Bar color
For changing the bl-exit bar color from blue to grey copy the directory /etc/bl-exit to ~/.config and change the following line in ~/.config/bl-exit/bl-exitrc under the [style] section to:
rcfile = grey.rc

In alphabetical order of English terms Note: This list has become rather long. Please don’t be daunted by it. The aim is to give you a reference for anything you might run into. Actually a lot of what you encounter won’t be on this list. It will simply be katakana-ized versions of the English terms you know already. You don’t need to know this list! Just bookmark it and use it when you need it.

To type ディ, type "dexi". (This depends on what input engine you're using. Some use x to create small characters, some use l.) Tobberoth July 2009 (http://forum.jisho.org/discussion/324/a-question-about-katakana/p1) ・To type the Nakaguro (Interpunct) dot between katakana simply type the word なかぐろ orなかてん. An alternative spelling is using z/ , the / becomes a middle dot z・. For Anthy. ● To type the bigger black circle you can type kuromaru くろまる
Typing てん is a last chance measure as it contains a large number of punctuation in it.
