Cosmetic bug: background in command line


Posted on Nov 20, 2011 by Helpful Rabbit

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Set a background image through the splashimage command (either in the command line or directly in a menu.lst startup command) 2. The menu list will correctly have that background 3. The command line screen (hit 'c') will not

Up until the 2011-11-03 version, the command line would have the background image defined in splashimage. From version 2011-11-04 onwards it no longer does that, it always has a black background. Hitting 'Esc' to go back to the grub menu it still has the correct background, only the command line screen doesn't.

Oh didn't know that. Do you plan to re-enable the splashimage in command line in the future?

Current Not, Because with splash image screen scroll up is slowly and it requires a lot of code and memory for scrollup.

That makes sense of course, to be honest I didn't even know you could scrollup the command line screen. Thanks for the answer.

If you do not need to show more than one screen(not need to scrollup screen) you may try this one. enter below commands at commandline to enable splashimage. call Fn.70 3 cls

if you want to show splashimage when booting menu,put after "title" line.

Yep it's as you say, after typing "call Fn.70 3" the background appears in the command line, but after hitting enter a few times to get the screen to scroll up it's like the background gets stuck, the last "line" of background starts to repeat itself while the screen goes up.

This is not a huge deal for me, I just opened the issue because I thought it wasn't done on purpose. A black and white command line works just as well for me.

Also, the "cls" command doesn't exist.

I wrote a wrong command it's "clear"

because if scroll up screen,will move video memory up a line.

with old version,It will re-load splashimage and re-write all chars on screen.so it seems well. but it's slowly and use most memory for it.
