I've just used EasyBCD to tweak my Windows 8.1 EFI graphical bootloader, adding entries for Windows XP and Ubuntu. Both of them have a boring thumbnail of a window, while Windows 8 has a thumbnail of its logo as shown in this picture:

It's purely a cosmetic wish, but is it possible to change the thumbnails for the other two entries?

I have no idea if this is possible. – magicandre1981 Jan 05 '15 at 06:06
I don't know if this is possible. But instead if you're happy to use another boot manager, then try [rEFInd](http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/). rEFInd is very nicely "themeable". – Shravan Jun 01 '15 at 15:06
Sweet, I gotta look into that ^-^ – jkmartindale Jul 15 '15 at 15:29
