I tried to adapt them to make something simpler that would be added to GRUB tree, but I'm totally incompetent to make beautiful artwork. Our current options are: - Make a simple, unifont-based "GRUB theme" that could be added to our official tree and serve as reference for others. It should include the basic graphical elements like terminal-box and linear/circular counters. - Have Debian include a package of themes for GRUB, based on your work. For that we would require that the parts you made are separated in a new tarball, and a suitable license be included. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
