[Bug 1352367] Re: Starfield theme is not displayed correctly

[Bruno Nova]

Strange... I checked all of the images of the theme in Trusty source package and lp:ubuntu/grub2 branch using GIMP, and all of them are in RGB mode.
But in the binary package (grub-theme-starfield), only some of them are in RGB mode. Why?!

In the meantime, here's a patch to fix the black text on dark background problem.
The text is now blue/cyan (same as the progress bar) and selected text is now white.

Title:
  Starfield theme is not displayed correctly

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The graphical GRUB2 theme Starfield, available in the repositories
  (and the only one), is not displayed correctly.

  First, the text of the menu entries is black over a dark background image.
  This is fixed easily in the theme.txt file.

  Second, some images don't appear correctly like, for example, the corners of the menu (a white square is shown instead of rounded corners).
  This is because those images are not in RGB mode. It seems GRUB doesn't like images using indexed mode.
