[Bug 1027223] Re: update-grub ignores GRUB_COLOR_NORMAL and GRUB_COLOR_HIGHLIGHT

[Thomas Schweikle]

The problem arrises with background pictures: if the picture is mostly purple and you use purple colour for the menue, you'll find the menu unreadable. There has to be a way to change colours for the menu at will or by some calcuation from the colours the background picture provides to keep displayed text readable.
This doesn't work if the variables defined are not changeable by users. Since the fix is simple, why don't fix it?
