Changing Bootloader (Syslinux) Message Colors

[DaRacerz]

Hi

How's does one go upon changing the colors in the message the syslinux bootloader gives out? I figured out how to remove the image, but now I wanna change the colors.

I read some guids online, but it didn't seem to help me. Can someone explain how to do this indetail? Preferably using vim as the editor.

Colors I want to use ito try is black background with green text and i also wanna try white bg with black text.

Thanks for help or examples!

Read syslinux docs - the format is described there.. I'm not sure you can use vi . I've done it with hex editor since there are some strangi ascii chars in there..

Yep, your right, vi is the reason for the troubles I was having. Changed to a hex editor, put everything in and now works perfectly.

vi editing is possible too. use Ctrl+V Ctrl+char for those ^Char thingies
Like - Ctrl+V Ctrl+O for color (^O)
