Just finished my first GFXBoot Grub theme and wanted to share it with you.
Tested with Feisty and GFXBoot grub-gfxboot_0.97-5_i386.Requires GFXBoot to be installed (see here for ubuntu derivatives: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=208855) . Once this is done, this theme can be placed into the grub directory (/boot/grub/message.gulliver) and linked from menu.lst (add 'gfxmenu /boot/grub/message.gulliver' to the to top of the file)
Please note, be careful when playing with Grub files - without a LiveCD or some kind of recovery disk, it can really make things difficult if things go wrong.

This looks amazing... much better with a true colour palette instead of a 256 colour gif from 1994 Nice layout too, well thought-out with the text on the right. I can't believe it's not the default way... is it really just distro politics?
i guess it's because it's useless. it looks nice, but it is useless. SuSE/Kanotix use that by default.
