Hi, I was hoping that someone else might stand-up but as there wasn't really interest I made a draft. This is basically using Okuji's idea of using CSS for specifying look. I made HTML page and example CSS filling information. And of course it looks ugly as I didn't spent too much on tuning it.
At first layout of the page would be hard-coded to grub2 graphical menu to make it simple, but now I would like to invite people with some stylish touch (and free time) to try it out and pin-point possible problems with the layout and possibly design some menu theme that could be used as a basis for official grub2 (or at least for testing it out) :). Please be free to use bitmaps, preferably PNG or other lossless format (so it can be easily converted to another if needed for testing purposes). Contents of the HTML basicly is changeable, div tags are for now hardcoded to be as they are specified. With a good reason that can be changed (eg. discuss it before hand). I haven't yet decided what kind of layout engine there would be but something simple most likely. There is most likely need to have scroll bar support for menuitems, haven't figured out yet how define it nicely. Possibly there needs to be some UI components, eg. way to specify what kind of progress bar there is, some flags for about it etc. Final style sheet will be most likely some extension to CSS in order to give more flexibility, but I think the common concepts should be saved to make it easier to adapt to it. All ideas are welcome and now would be good time to share them...
