Customize GUI-less session

Question

I want to remove the GUI from Raspbian and then customize it:

• White background or background image
• Image in down-right corner
• Change font size/font/font color
• Center align text

Is that possible? And how could I do this?

Answer 1

You may have a partial success with setterm:

Usage:
 setterm [options]

Options:
 -term <terminal_name>
 -reset
 -initialize
 -cursor <on|off>
 -repeat <on|off>
 -appcursorkeys <on|off>
 -linewrap <on|off>
 -default
 -foreground <black|blue|green|cyan|red|magenta|yellow|white|default>
 -background <black|blue|green|cyan|red|magenta|yellow|white|default>
 -ulcolor <black|grey|blue|green|cyan|red|magenta|yellow|white>
 -ulcolor <bright blue|green|cyan|red|magenta|yellow|white>
 -hbcolor <black|grey|blue|green|cyan|red|magenta|yellow|white>
 -hbcolor <bright blue|green|cyan|red|magenta|yellow|white>
 -inversescreen <on|off>
 -bold <on|off>
 -half-bright <on|off>
 -blink <on|off>
 -reverse <on|off>
 -underline <on|off>
 -store >
 -clear <all|rest>
 -tabs < tab1 tab2 tab3 ... >      (tabn = 1-160)
 -clrtabs < tab1 tab2 tab3 ... >   (tabn = 1-160)
 -regtabs <1-160>
 -blank <0-60|force|poke>
 -dump   <1-NR_CONSOLES>
 -append <1-NR_CONSOLES>
 -file dumpfilename
 -msg <on|off>
 -msglevel <0-8>
 -powersave <on|vsync|hsync|powerdown|off>
 -powerdown <0-60>
 -blength <0-2000>
 -bfreq freqnumber
 -version
 -help

And the font changes can be accomplished with:

setfont /usr/share/consolefonts/Greek-Fixed16.psf

however I still don't understand what did you mean by "center text".
