Grub bootsplash and colour

[nilsA]

Yesterday I installed Qgrub and started experimenting with bootsplashes.

Found one really nice - just a black screen with the blue Kubuntu logo at the bottom.

The problem is - I can only get white text - and no highlighting.

Qgrub does strip the menu.list file for all the comments - and begins like this:

# splashimage=(hd1,0)/boot/grub/56843-kubuntu-grub.xpm.gz
default 0
Tiemout 10
color light-blue/black white/black

(The rest is the booting options as in the bottom in the old file.)

Is this a "feature" of using bootsplash in Grub? Or can I manage to get the colors and especially the highlighting to work?

EDIT: When I substitute

color light-blue/black white/black

with

forground 6699ff
background 000000

I get the colours I want - but no highlighting.

Although not directly oriented to Qgrub, there's a lot of relevant information here:
