GRUB - thinking about

[Jiri Jakub Masek]

Hi Paul, thank you.

So, if I understand it, there are two ways to make anything better. The
first is no GRUB background image, the second is to design that image
without gradients, with graphics objects with border lines in angles 0, 45,
90, 135 degrees for monitor with resolution ratio  4:3, universally only 0
and 90 degrees. It could be an appeal for graphics designers to try
anything.
