For that example, yes. I'm a bit worried by a potential proliferation of shortcuts in the boot menu. In https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2016/01/msg00346.html we discussed having shortcuts within the installer itself to change colors (which can be more useful than just having a "dark" theme). Later on we discussed how it could be made easier to append kernel parameters (pressing tab was easy in syslinux, grub doesn't have such easy way yet) since it's needed for various cases anyway. We can also as well just add a dark-theme shortcut indeed. I guess 'c' as "contrast" could be a better shortcut than 'v'? (speech and braille, using other shortcuts, are also for visual impairement). > I have played with the syslinux config for legacy BIOS mode, and as far as I > can test, it works for the netboot-gtk image, see the patch attached plus > some > new files that need to be added (for debian-installer/build/boot/x86). For syslinux it was relatively simple to get theme=dark appended to the kernel line, it's more grub which needs to be given a shortcut. > Like I said, other parts than netboot-gtk (for multi-arch CDs for example ) > are untested. Yes, it takes some work to test all situations. Samuel
