Bug Description

The CD bootprocess still uses the old SUSE blueish colors when showing the 'Loading Linux Kernel' progress bar:

This should be Humanized like this:

The progress window could be removed altogether (bug 45664), but the blue color scheme is also used for the "Exiting..." window when choosing "Other Options".

agreed, actually I'd get rid of that thing altogether... not to mention the horrible green dots running across the upper part of the screens...

What green dots?

Anyway, gfxboot looks nice in general, it's just the colors which are abbarant...

gfxboot looks very nice indeed, anyway, i was referring to those dots running across the screen as the kernel and initrd image get uncompressed:

This bug was fixed in the package gfxboot-theme-ubuntu - 0.5.2

---------------
gfxboot-theme-ubuntu (0.5.2) hardy; urgency=low

  * Ask for language before displaying the main menu (LP: #39888).
  * Filter out translations for various languages (Arabic, Dzongkha, Indic,
    Mongolian, Thai) that we cannot render properly for various reasons
    (LP: #46985, #56145).
  * Give checkbox semantics to the items in the F6 "Other Options" menu.
  * Add acpi=off, noapic, and nolapic options to the "Other Options" menu.
  * Display the "Other Options" menu for the live CD too, but without the
    d-i expert mode option.
  * Use theme background colour as the colour for dialog title bars and
    progress bars (LP: #28795).
  * Fetch foreground, background, and access-options from gfxboot.cfg in
    preference to isolinux.cfg. The gfxboot-foreground, gfxboot-background,
    and gfxboot-access-options keywords in isolinux.cfg are now deprecated
    and support for them will be removed after Ubuntu 8.04.
  * Include po/ in the binary package for consistency with gfxboot-theme-*,
    although you should generally just use bootlogo.tar.gz rather than
    building the theme afresh (LP: #39930).
