Ah, there's a third one. GRUB Legacy images are limited by the fact that GRUB Legacy always uses the same color (white) for text when using background images. This makes some color combinations in background impossible, because they'd make the text unreadable. With GRUB 2, one can easily adjust the text color (16 color choice) that matches better with a particular image. For debian-blueish-wallpaper.svg I'd use black, if that's fine with you. -- Robert Millan <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call, if you are unable to speak?
