    Im loving the folding option. Im trying to change the background to match the xplash one. What file of the theme do i have to modify?
    Modify /boot/grub/themes/refit/theme.txt.

    To change background image, find this:

    Code:
    class {
      screen {
        background = ",,#BFBFBF/blue"
      }
      ...
    }
    And change it to:
    Code:
    class {
      screen {
        background = "${theme_dir}/splash.png,,#BFBFBF/blue"
      }
      ...
    }
    You also need to copy splash.png to /boot/grub/themes/refit directory.

    Code:

    Here is the document:

    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Burg

    A panel has eight border image, top_left is the top left corner. This attribute is split into two parts, ",,#000000/cyan/blue,#0x250F" is for normal state, ",,#000000/light-gray/blue,#0x2554" is for selected state, #0x250F and #0x2554 is the unicode for single and double box char. and #000000/cyan/blue and #000000/light-gray/blue are color. It means use #000000 (black) in graphic mode, cyan/blue in text mode.

    It should. But it doesn't.

    E: /var/cache/apt/archives/grub-pc_1.98+burg.20100114-1~ppa6+lucid_i386.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/grub-mkrescue', which is also in package grub-common 0
    I've had to get around this bug for weeks by purging grub-common first.

    Also, is folding only for refit?

    This is caused by different packing method. BURG put grub-mkresuce in grub-pc, and GRUB put it in grub-common, so when upgrade from grub to burg, it would find conflicts. Anyway, I can move grub-mkresuce to grub-common in the next version.

    Other theme can use folding as well, but some function is missing, like F7 hotkey to expand the full list. I will update them soon to have full folding support.

    BURG is really cool for me, but I have one problem left. It was discussed two or three pages back, but no one fixed it though. That's what I get with Sora (see attachment)
    UPD: solved (yay!) by removing theme configs from /etc/grub.d/40_custom

    Can't I have a custom font AND a custom background with GRUB2? I can only get either one to work.

    No, they're not the same, config file format are different. You can't use the menu config from grub experiment in BURG.

    Re: GRUB2 theming for lucid?

    New package: 1.98+20100126-1

    It changes file prefix to burg, so it can coexist with grub2. For example:

    grub-install => burg-install
    update-grub => update-burg
    /boot/grub/grub.cfg => /boot/burg/burg.cfg
    /etc/grub.d => /etc/burg.d
    /etc/default/grub => /etc/default/burg

    New feature for this version:

    * New command ntldr and freedos, support loading of ntldr/grldr/bootmgr/kernel.sys directly.
    * You can use q hotkey to go back to old grub menu.
    * All themes support folding, although the popup list of sora doesn't look very good.

    Here is the installation step for the new package:

    1. Install program and themes
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install burg burg-themes
    2. Use burg-install to install the new boot loader to MBR/BS.

    2. Edit /etc/default/burg, uncomment the GRUB_THEME setting, you can also uncomment GRUB_FOLD to fold items.

    3. Use update-burg to generate config file /boot/burg/burg.cfg

    4. (Optional) Install burg-emu for live preview.
