Hi, while we are on the topic... does anyone know how to set a transparent background for the timer?
For the menu it works as advertised in the lilo.conf man page (no entry implies transparent); eg. bmp-colors=13,,0,1,,0 If I do a similar thing for the timer: bmp-timer=30p,400p,13,,0 the background is black. The man page for lilo.conf is a little confusing; bmp-timer=<x>,<y>,<fg>,<bg>,<sh> Optional specification of the 'timeout=' countdown timer. <x>,<y> specifies the character (or pixel) coordinate of the location of the timer, as for 'bmp-table=' above; and the color triple specifes the character color attributes, as for must be specified. What does "as for must be specified" mean? Is it a typo? Or perhaps bad English? Does it mean that <fg>,<bg> and <sh> are the same as for bmp-timer _except_ that all must be specified?
