We currently set some gray to the background window: See background in http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft/drakx/trunk/perl-install/share/themes-galaxy.rc?revision=4041&view=markup&sortby=date But the issues with gradients on 16bit is the bad dithering as shown by the foreground dialog.

Ready to test :-) > I'll probably need help on how to test these things https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Drakx-installer_tips_and_tricks#modifying_the_stage2 https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Drakx-installer_tips_and_tricks#drakx-in-chroot You can test drakx-in-chroot by running: drakx-in-chroot /path/to/your/mirror /dir/where/you/want/to/install eg: drakx-in-chroot /mageia/unstable/x86_64 /my_chroot/ Though quite a lot less used, I added support for remote repo: drakx-in-chroot http://my_mirror/mageia /my/chroot Buf for theming, I think you'll need to alter the mdkinst.sqfs (the stage2 of the installer). Best is to mirror the distro, then go into install/stage2: unsquashfs mdkinst.sqfs #alter squashfs-root/* mksquashfs squashfs-root/ mdkinst.sqfs. test using a virtual maching booting on boot.iso (from install/images/boot.iso) which is the stage1 of the installer, that will load stage2 > and where to send possible patches. To me :-)
