Anyway, which interface to use? It seems to me that env variables would be more fitting than the "color" command we had in GRUB Legacy. I suggest using two: E.g. "menu_normal_color=fg/bg" and "menu_highlight_color=fg/bg", with the same *color_list[16] from GRUB Legacy. > Anyway, this will be a temporary hack, right? No, not really. That patch will be necessary when colors can be modified in grub.cfg, too. The only difference will be that it'll only act based on user input. I plan to implement user input too, just not right now. In the meantime it'd be nice to have this feature in CVS. If you like 0x07 / 0x70 more than 0x13 / 0x1f, we can have that as default so that distributors (/me puts debian hat) can change it easily? > I'd love to see a fancier > interface built in.

Would be very nice to see you back on the playground! :-) -- Robert Millan I know my rights; I want my phone call! What use is a phone call, if you are unable to speak? (as seen on /.)
