Hiya!
I'm trying to edit the Proxmox boot logo just for fun for my personal proxmox server.

I'm watching that the proxmox OVMF firmware its located here:
Code:
/usr/share/kvm/OVMF_CODE-pure-efi.fd

I made a backup, and I copy that to my local machine in order to edit.
Then I opened with UEFITool.
And I located the Logo, and right click over it and click on "Extract body..."

This saves a BIN file, then I checked that file with "file" command, in order to know which kind of file it is.
Once I sure that this is a BMP file, I proceed to rename it to BMP.

And that's it, I opened with Photoshop and of course its the Proxmox Logo banner that appears on Proxmox OVMF boot.

Once I edited with a personal image I save it and then rename it again as BIN file.

But, when I try to "Replace Body" at UEFITool in order to replace that resource, that option is disabled.


So the question is, Is there a way to do that?
Thanks
