Personally, I am quite happy with the GRUB background I am using right now on my 19" CRT, and it is made using 16 colors, in 256 would be much better: <a href="http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/temp/splash.xpm.gz">http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/temp/splash.xpm.gz</a> </blockquote><div> </div>Nicu, I've tested some GRUB images but the quality is not what I hoped for. Would it be possible for you to post a how-to for myself and others to follow? I am using GIMP to build my image with a 16 color pallet but I am unsure what dithering option to select and I am unsure if the choice of colors has an impact on image quality. Thanks, John </div>
