Changing an image between grub and GDM Login

Sorry. I know this has been asked before but I am not finding anything that works and after a couple of days I am getting frustrated.

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 i386

I know how to change the Grub menu image. I have the login screen image and theme changed as well with GDM. What I am trying to find/do is get the Ubuntu purple wallpaper image that is between grub and gdm and change it. I think it is called usplash but I might be wrong. I have tried a few things already, two days of searching as well. I found a lot of info but nothing is working. The startup manager sounded the most promising. But as I said that didn't work. It only lets me change the resolution and what I want to boot into by default in Grub.

Where is the loading image/wallpaper stored at, the one between the grub boot menu and gdm loging screen? (It is the one that has a purple background, the Ubuntu logo and underneath the dots that move from left to right as everything is loading before you get to the loging screen.)

I am not sure if I am explaining this right. I am familiar with Linux, more or less, but this is something new I want to try and I have no idea where to go next. It seems like all that I am finding is outdated or just doesn't work.
