Maybe the "General Discussion about Arch Linux" mail list is better place about this? (ps. I just now notice http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch-general - the description has a typo "Discusson") On Mon, May 11, 2009 at 00:23, Ronald van Haren <pressh@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi,

For those of you who are using grub2 and are interested in making your boot selection menu a bit nicer, the newly uploaded grub2 supports backgrounds and stuff.

Config syntax in your grub.cfg is similar to: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ if loadfont /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 ; then   set gfxmode="1024x768x32"   insmod gfxterm   insmod vbe   terminal_output gfxterm   if terminal_output gfxterm; then true ; else      terminal gfxterm   fi fi insmod tga background_image /boot/grub/archlinux.tga +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ though obviously a background image is not included. Other image types should work as well if you load the correct modules (see the .mod files in /boot/grub)

ps. I had to add a bdf-unifont package to the repo in order to make it work a bit easier. It is now a makedepend of grub2.
