[rickywu]

lua\user\configs\ui\alpha.lua:

return {
	dashboard.section.header.val = {
		[[⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿]],
		[[⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⣠⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿]],
		[[⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣡⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿]],
	}, 
}

alpha's setup procedure is rather complicated (metatable stuffs). You can just customize the whole plugin urself:

lua\user\configs\alpha.lua (u don't need to put alpha.lua in a subdirectory):

return function()
	local dashboard = require("alpha.themes.dashboard")
	require("modules.utils").gen_alpha_hl()

	dashboard.section.header.val = {
		[[⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿]],
		[[⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⣠⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿]],
		[[⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣡⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿]],
	}
	dashboard.section.header.opts.hl = "AlphaHeader"

	local function button(sc, txt, leader_txt, keybind, keybind_opts)
		local sc_after = sc:gsub("%s", ""):gsub(leader_txt, "<leader>")

		local opts = {
			position = "center",
			shortcut = sc,
			cursor = 5,
			width = 50,
			align_shortcut = "right",
			hl = "AlphaButtons",
			hl_shortcut = "AlphaShortcut",
		}

		if nil == keybind then
			keybind = sc_after
		end
		keybind_opts = vim.F.if_nil(keybind_opts, { noremap = true, silent = true, nowait = true })
		opts.keymap = { "n", sc_after, keybind, keybind_opts }

		local function on_press()
			-- local key = vim.api.nvim_replace_termcodes(keybind .. '<Ignore>', true, false, true)
			local key = vim.api.nvim_replace_termcodes(sc_after .. "<Ignore>", true, false, true)
			vim.api.nvim_feedkeys(key, "t", false)
		end

		return {
			type = "button",
			val = txt,
			on_press = on_press,
			opts = opts,
		}
	end

	local leader = " "
	dashboard.section.buttons.val = {
		button("space f c", " Scheme change", leader, nil, {
			noremap = true,

	dashboard.section.footer.opts.hl = "AlphaFooter"

	local head_butt_padding = 2
	local occu_height = #dashboard.section.header.val + 2 * #dashboard.section.buttons.val + head_butt_padding
	local header_padding = math.max(0, math.ceil((vim.fn.winheight("$") - occu_height) * 0.25))
