anyone care to explain to me how come Mandriva and PCLinuxOS have had pleasant blue screens with logo on their dualboot menus for 5 yrs at least and Buntu still cant figure it out?
i tried kubuntu 11 recently and at least they got rid of the white on black DOS look and switched it a bit but still beyond mediocre.
I remember installing a Buntu dualboot a few years ago and when my friend saw the black scree with white text he yelped ‘Oh no, what happeened?’
and thinking how a distro which claims to be user friendly can think that this is acceptable when other distros have managed to do it.

I like this utility. But how come it does not set the colors when I tell it to. They just stay at the default gray and black. I even added a background image like it told me to.

grub-customizer dies for me.
UBUNTU 10.10
kernel 2.6.35-30-generic
GNOME 2.32.0
grub-customizer = su-to-root -X -c grub-customizer
starts (showing graphic interface)
When I start from a terminal window it displays:
