LinuxQuestions.org - Lilo Boot Menu Colors??

hi there,

Code:

man lilo.conf

has the answer. you need to edit/add in your lilo conf file the entry concerning

Code:

 menu-scheme=<color-scheme>

              The default color scheme of the boot menu may be  overridden  on

              VGA  displays  using  this option. (The color scheme of MDA dis-

              plays is fixed.)  The general  color-scheme  string  is  of  the

              form:



                  <text>:<highlight>:<border>:<title>



              where  each  entry  is two characters which specify a foreground

              color and a background color. Only the first entry is  required.

              The  default highlight is the reverse of the text color; and the

              default border and title colors are the text color.  Colors  are

              specified using the characters kbgcrmyw, for blacK, Blue, Green,

              Cyan, Red, Magenta, Yellow, and White: upper  case  for  intense

              (fg only), lower case for dim.  Legal color-scheme strings would

              be



                  menu-scheme=Wm    intense white on magenta

                  menu-scheme=wr:bw:wr:Yr    the LILO default

                  menu-scheme=Yk:kw    bright yellow on black



              If menu is not installed as the boot loader, then this line  has

              no effect.
