Bootsplash screen

Hey I just changed my bootsplash screen. I remember having tried do do so in the old Grub Legacy and it was a chain of tangled steps. Grub2, i.e the one that comes with present versions of ubuntu makes it fairly simple. All that needs to be done is to edit the /etc/default/grub file and add the path of image to it. eg
$ GRUB_BACKGROUND=/path/to/your/image/file
then fire
$ sudo update_grub 
on your terminal.
Upon next reboot the favourite image shall be set up as the bootloader's background.
