How can I change the GRUB splash image in 18.04
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
NOTE: I am not after themes... more just hacking what's here as its faster.
In Ubuntu 18.04 I am trying to change the grub.png/splash.png image, the one you see when GRUB asks you what system you want to boot up, Linux/Windows/etc.
I know how to give myself permissions over a whole folder and its files in usr/share/background/ (which is how I changed my login screen), but if I am going any place near GRUB I want to only give permissions to the actual image - not to GRUB or kernel or other files inside.
Ideas?

Use @WinEunuuchs2Unix when replying to me otherwise I'll never see your comment. I stumbled across this by accident. Usecat /etc/default/grubto see the file contents. There was a spelling mistake in your directory name. The easiest way is to copy the text from this comment and paste it in your terminal.
