-<p><b>Note:</b> If you'd like to design a logo for rEFInd, please do so! I lack the sort of artistic talent required for creating logos, so I just used plain text. I'd like to have something more eye-catching, though. I don't promise to use the first logo I'm given, but if you have some ideas, or would like to discuss some ideas, feel free to <a href="mailto:rodsmith@rodsbooks.com">e-mail me.</a></p>
+<li>You can do as above, but place your new icons in the default <tt>icons</tt> subdirectory. This method is discouraged because using the <tt>install.sh</tt> script to upgrade rEFInd will replace your customized icons.</li>
+
+<li>You can customize the appearance of an individual boot loader by placing an ICNS or PNG file in its directory with the same name as the boot loader but with a <tt>.icns</tt> or <tt>.png</tt> extension. For instance, if your boot loader program is <tt>elilo.efi</tt>, you can create a custom icon by naming it <tt>elilo.png</tt>.</li>
+
+<li>You can provide an icon for boot loaders stored in the root directory of a filesystem by placing a file called <tt>.VolumeIcon.icns</tt> or <tt>.VolumeIcon.png</tt> in that volume's root.</li>
+
+<li>You can set a custom badge (the icon that identifies the disk type) by creating a file called <tt>.VolumeBadge.icns</tt> or <tt>.VolumeBadge.png</tt> in that volume's root. This setting applies to all the boot loaders found on this volume, even if they're in subdirectories.</li>
+
+<li>You can adjust the sizes of icons by using the <tt>big_icon_size</tt> and <tt>small_icon_size</tt> tokens in <tt>refind.conf</tt>. These tokens adjust the size of the first-row OS and second-row tool icons, respectively. The <tt>big_icon_size</tt> option also indirectly sets the disk-type badge size; badges have sides that 1/4 the size of OS icons. The icons provided with rEFInd are 128x128 for OS icons, 48x48 for tools, and 32x32 for badges. The <tt>big_icon_size</tt> and <tt>small_icon_size</tt> tokens cause these icons to be scaled to the desired value; however, for best results you should replace your the default icons with ones generated natively in the desired size. (PNG and ICNS are both bitmap formats, and so will be degraded by scaling operations.) Because ICNS is limited in the sizes it supports, you're better off using PNG if you want to create larger icons.</li>

+<h2>Icon Selection Backgrounds</h2>
+</a>
+
+<p>rEFInd identifies the current selection by displaying a partially-transparent icon "between" the OS or tool icon and the background image. The default icon works reasonably well on both solid and image backgrounds, but if you like, you can customize it by creating new icons in PNG or in Microsoft's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMP_file_format">BMP format.</a> You should create both 144x144 and 64x64 images and tell rEFInd about them by using the <tt>selection_big</tt> and <tt>selection_small</tt> tokens, respectively, in <tt>refind.conf</tt>. (If you scale your icons, you may want to adjust the selection tile images appropriately. The big image is 9/8 the size of its matching icons, while the small tile is 4/3 the size of its icons.) If you omit the large icon, rEFInd will stretch the small icon to fit the larger space; if you omit the small icon, rEFInd will use the default small icon. Because BMP doesn't support transparency (alpha channels), you must use the PNG format if you want your selection background to show the underlying image beneath it. (You can create the illusion of transparency on a solid background by matching the colors, though.)</p>

+<h2>Fonts</h2>
+</a>
+
+<p>rEFInd's default font is a 14-point (12-point in 0.6.5 and earlier) serif monospaced font. I also include a handful of alternatives in the <tt>fonts</tt> subdirectory. rEFInd's font support is extremely rudimentary, though; it reads a PNG file that holds the glyphs from ASCII 32 (space) through ASCII 126 (tilde, <tt>~</tt>), plus a glyph that's displayed for all characters outside of this range. Thus, rEFInd can't currently display non-ASCII characters or use proportional (variable-width) fonts. You can change the font from one monospaced font to another and change the font size, though.</p>
+
+<p>If you want to create your own fonts, you can do so. If you're using Linux, the <tt>mkfont.sh</tt> script in the <tt>fonts</tt> subdirectory will convert an installed <i>monospace</i> font into a suitable format. (This script works properly for most fonts, but if a font is unusually thin or wide, you will have to adjust the <tt>let CellWidth=</tt> line near the end of the file.) You can use it like this:</p>
