Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub-coreboot
The current grub theme package and these release candidate grub packages
now has problems with each other. Things that worked previously for
grub theming should work but are now broke.
GRUB_BACKGROUND= with the installed grub theming package images should
display.... but the setting of menu_color_normal=white/black should render the
second color (background) color) black as transparent.
Ref: Ubuntu Server 11.04beta1, GNU Grub2 1.99~rc1
What happens is that on most of the pictures in that package, the pcture
is in the background with a black menu background = not transparent...
If you og through the rest of the pictures, there are a few pictures
where black will come up as transparent.
Further, once you do find a baskground image that works, then the text
and highlight options then change to light-gray text on transparent for
menu_color_normal and black text on light-gray for menu_color_highlight
- no matter what rgb colr you set these variables to.
I started a thread in the dev natty forum- seems to be a problem with
more than I on same. We have not found any work-arounds on this yet.
There are upstream changes in GNU Grub 1.99~rc1 on theming and their
change logs show work on theming as late as 2011.04.01. There was
Ubuntu repository updates to these packages today, but they did not
change these problems. Upstream changes on this in their release
canidate manual show that the above "should" work and that are
additional changes are in the gfx_term building and display of custom
theming menu enhancements.
I'm assuming this is a work-in-progress on upstream changes of GNU's
release candidate... which affects Ubuntu's packages in their repo's,
but I think you might want to track it.
