    Boot text too dark

    I followed the directions at http://knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7 to change the bootsplash.

    Now the problem is that the text is all of a sudden a very dark gray that is not readable on the black background.

    What did I do wrong?

    Thanks.

    The color of the boot text comes from the one of the colors of palette of the boot image. You need to modify the palette.

    As said in page http://knopper.net/knoppix/knoppix-g...s-specs-en.txt the color in no. 7:
    Code:
    Bootscreen:
    ===========
    
    Format: 640 x 400 Pixels in 16 Colors (!), Color No. 7 should be a light
    color, because it's the text color in the isolinux splash screen.
    
    Colors: No gradients if possible, since the picture will be
    runlength-encoded.
