[gentoo-user] Problems with font-color and fbsplash

[gentoo-user] Problems with font-color and fbsplash

[Rafael Fernández López]

Hi,

	I'm using fbsplash for cool booting. I'm working on my own themes, 
but 	I've noticed that it doesn't matter what I put on the variable 
fgcolor or bgcolor, because it will do nothing.

	Always console color will be GRAY, it doesn't matter if I set on my 
1024x768.cfg (for example) fgcolor=8 (white).

Thanks,
Rafael Fernández.

I don't think is a kernel issue, because emerge and so on can show 
colors (green, red, and so on...).

What I'm wondering is just exactly where is "white" set to equal "8"?

I suspect that splash doesn't know what "8" means, so it's using the
default color (which is probably gray).

What you're talking about sounds much more like terminal settings
(~/.Xresources settings) rather than splash configuration (from looking
at a random config file in /etc/splash).

What configuration file are you using, and what does it say?

Well, you only have to go to http://www.bootsplash.org, in the section 
"Config files", because I'm editing "1024x768.cfg" of a theme... and 
you'll see what means 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8... in fgcolor and bgcolor variables.

Thanks,
Rafael Fernández.

There's no need to have any tool. You have to make a picture for your
verbose mode and / or silent mode, and then study the resolution.cfg
syntax (http://www.bootsplash.org) and create one for your theme... when
everything is done, you only have to recompile your kernel with the new
theme or create a new initramfs, the one that you want to use.

Bye.
