Menu Boot (resolved)

on Zorin 6, the main boot_menu is a blue / white colour scheme,
whereas on some other 'nix boot_menus the schema is the standard white on black.

so, just where is that set & how can it be edited ?
- I've looked at this before, with yet some other 'nix O/Ss, & there is some great stuff on how to customize
the boot_menu, - but really I just want to change the default from white on black,
aka like zorin 6 has .. ..

Hi Pierre,

try this but I have never used it myself:

yeah, that's along the lines of customizing the login_in theme.
- I just want to change the colour schema to something what zorin 6 has ..

it's in one of the grub_menu's somewhere.
there even have be a gui, in the startUP manager itself.
I'll find it ..

probably a direct edit of grub.cfg - even tho it says not too .. .. ..

a better way, would be to edit 05_debian_theme in etc/grub.d,
& run 'grub update'.

- still can't work out the line_border that is around the whole screen,
how to make it smaller ..

- the font size is gotta be in there somewhere 2.

Hi,

a simple route might be Boot Repair if you just want a black & white Grub menu:

I always have a disk on hand as it is a very useful tool!.

I'm trying to shift it away from black & white .. ..
- there is a debian section & another section for the installed O/S, within the grub menu.

editing the 2nd one, changes the colours of the boot_menu ..
one line is the background / description.
next line is the active line / active text.

I've set mine to white on blue & active line as yellow on light_blue.
- better than white on black & white on light_grey .. ..

I still want to change the size of that line box area, - that surrounds the whole text & fills the entire screen area.
that has to be in the menu's settings, somewhere.

Might be a tip or 2 here:
