If a gfx theme is being used and the submenu command is used to show a submenu, the submenu does not use the gfx theme. Instead a text-based menu is shown. The only way a regular user can workaround this at the moment is to reload the theme after the submenu menuentry item is selected.
In Ubuntu's (about the only distro that uses the submenu command at this time) use of the submenu in 10_linux: if [ "$list" ] && ! $in_submenu; then in_submenu=: fi A regular user must patch 10_linux thus: if [ "$list" ] && ! $in_submenu; then echo "submenu \"Previous Linux versions\" --class submenu {" if [ "x$GRUB_THEME" != x ] && [ -f "$GRUB_THEME" ] \ && is_path_readable_by_grub "$GRUB_THEME"; then prepare_grub_to_access_device `${grub_probe} --target=device "$GRUB_THEME"` cat << EOF set theme=(\$root)`make_system_path_relative_to_its_root $GRUB_THEME` EOF fi in_submenu=: fi to reload the theme and have a themed submenu. Will this be fixed in the 2.00 release? _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
