Boot option highlight

[Barry]

Hey guys, don't know if it's me or not, but on the boot option screen the highlight is black. With a black background it's kinda hard knowing which option is highlighted.

i found that as well.

Same for me

We are working on that.

[Takedown32]

same thing for me too.

just comment in the /boot/grub/menu.lst the 'splashimage' entry..
to change colors use the 'color' entry(see grubs FAQ, Docs, man, wtw)

As pureh@te mentioned, we are working on it and should have an update soon.

It's not hard to manipulate the GRUB file for yourself. Here's what i did, it just won't show the backtrack bootsplash, but it'll do until pureh@te and others are finished.

-First find the file by opening the bt4.iso with something like UltraISO.
-Navigate to /boot/grub/menu.lst and open file
-Comment out the "splashimage...." at the top by putting a '#' infront of it
-Add color options like below

#splashimage=/boot/grub/bt4.xpm.gz
color green/black black/light-gray

-Now save the file to a new location, wherever you want, just keep the file name so it overwrites existing menu.lst

-Move the new file to the iso by dragging to UltraISO (with that folder open) and when prompted select "yes" to overwrite the old one.

-Save iso by file->save, and enjoy


Hope this helps anyone that doesn't feel like waiting.
