Hi.

 

Most of the patches are included into the upstream.

 

Some patches weren't accepted and they should be slightly updated. Some of them are not adequate.

 

I think the only proper way is to wait untill I'll redo some patches that are not accepted yet. Then I'll sent them again to the mailing list. So the upstream version will contain proper and tested patches, which won't break anything.

 

Thanks for the attention.

 

Gerard, please tell me if there are some things which will make grub theming better. I'll see what I can do.
