I may be able to do that, however, I need to learn it myself.
I don't really mind reading code either, but a general idea about
where the drawing of the menu entries is located would be helpful.

I quick check shows that GRUB2 has 287 .c files, but I suspect that most 
of the menu customization is handled in the term/ directory.

Are there and specifications, design documents, examples, or other 
places that I can look at to better understand GRUB2 menu customization?

This is exactly what I was looking for.  It comes up properly now.
Thanks.
