For some reason I have to place background image for grub
on boot partition (root fs inaccessible before kernel load,
wierd hardware). I like spacefun theme and use it, but
found that if I specify GRUB_BACKGROUND, default menu color
is set to black/black which completly unreadable (picture
black there) even if I set COLOR_NORMAL and COLOR_HIGHLIGHT.
I can't change it by specifying parameters only in
/etc/default/grub, 05_debian_theme ignores my colors.
I can't use WALLPAPER because it will be overwritten by
/usr/share/desktop-base/grub_background.sh.
So I ask you to apply following patch:
--- 05_debian_theme.old 2010-12-18 03:44:00.0 +0300
+++ 05_debian_theme 2011-01-17 01:23:51.0 +0300

# Next try to use the background image and colors specified by desktop-base.
# If we haven't found a background image yet, use the default from
desktop-base.
# Finally, if all of the above fails, use the default theme.
-set_background_image ${GRUB_BACKGROUND} ||
+set_background_image ${GRUB_BACKGROUND} ${COLOR_NORMAL}
${COLOR_HIGHLIGHT} ||
set_background_image `ls -1 *.jpg *.JPG *.jpeg *.JPEG *.png *.PNG *.tga *.TGA
2/dev/null | head -1` ||
set_background_image ${WALLPAPER} ${COLOR_NORMAL} ${COLOR_HIGHLIGHT} ||
set_background_image /usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png ||
As you can see, it adds ability to set colors in /etc/default/grub
(and removes the need of changing 05_debian_theme by end user) but
preserved old behavior when COLOR_* not set.
