GRUB2 theming for lucid?

[vishalrao]

I'm looking forward to testing it!

No, I'm sure you mean "I'm looking forward to playing with it!"

Isn't testing=playing?

Looks sweet - I might have to fiddle around with it myself. Is there still an option to fall back to the textual prompt if need be (say, to go into a RT kernel)?

I can't get this to work. Too many files to edit and still not enough info on what I need to do.

Actually with ppa5, the process is greatly simplified, you don't need to modify files any more. Here are the steps:

1, install ppa5, and install BURG to mbr/bs.
2, download theme files from the files section of

http://groups.google.com/group/burg-devel

and extract to /boot/grub:

cd /boot/grub
sudo tar xzf ~/theme_default.tar.gz
sudo tar xzf ~/theme_sora.tar.gz
sudo tar xzf ~/theme_chiva.tar.gz

3, edit /boot/default/grub, add these two lines at the end:

GRUB_THEME=sora
GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768

4, Run update-grub.

The value of GRUB_THEME can be one of these:
proto, ubuntu, winter, sora, sora/clean, sora/extended, chiva

Oh, it looks nice, and it shouldn't be difficult to implement it with BURG.

I've installed that theme, but loading process is very slow.
