Title:
  grub2 1.99~rc1 theming problems with GRUB_BACKGROUND,,
  menu_color_normal, menu_color_higlight

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub-coreboot

  The current grub theme package and these release candidate grub
  packages now has problems with each other.  Things that worked
  previously for grub theming should work but are now broke.

  GRUB_BACKGROUND= with the installed grub theming package images should display.... but the setting of menu_color_normal=white/black should render the second color (background) color) black as transparent. 
  Ref: Ubuntu Server 11.04beta1, GNU Grub2 1.99~rc1 

  What happens is that on most of the pictures in that package, the
  pcture is in the background with a black menu background = not
  transparent... If you og through the rest of the pictures, there are a
  few pictures where black will come up as transparent.

  Further, once you do find a baskground image that works, then the text
  and highlight options then change to light-gray text on transparent
  for menu_color_normal and black text on light-gray for
  menu_color_highlight - no matter what rgb colr you set these variables
  to.

  I started a thread in the dev natty forum- seems to be a problem with
  more than I on same.   We have not found any work-arounds on this yet.

  There are upstream changes in GNU Grub 1.99~rc1 on theming and their
  change logs show work on theming as late as 2011.04.01.  There was
  Ubuntu repository updates to these packages today, but they did not
  change these problems.  Upstream changes on this in their release
  canidate manual show that the above "should" work and that are
  additional changes are in the gfx_term building and display of custom
  theming menu enhancements.

  I'm assuming this is a work-in-progress on upstream changes of GNU's
  release candidate... which affects Ubuntu's packages in their repo's,
  but I think you might want to track it.
