2015-07-07 (yaya)
1. Support for 16-bit per pixel color mode (64K 5: 6: 5).
2. Support jpg (jpeg, jpe) image format.
3. In vbe mode, using echo -rrggbb can display 216 kinds of color samples.
4. You can use echo -v display version, memory information.
5. Increase setmenu function, enhanced graphics editing menu. Parameters:
--ver-on --ver-off version information on / off. By default;
--lang = en --lang = zh menu Help English switch. Default English;
--auto-num Open Menu automatic numbering;
--line-spacing = [s] --font-spacing = [s] Set character spacing / line spacing. Unit: pixels. Default 0. The following parameters should be located before;
--title=[x]=[y]=[title] menu title location and content (title header). Unit: columns, rows;
Note: Columns = image horizontal pixel / (character width + character spacing) character width = 8;
The number of lines of vertical pixels = image / (character height + line spacing) character height = 10;
--help = [x] = [y] Help menu position. Unit: columns, rows;
--box x = [x] y = [y] w = [w] h = [h] l = [l] menu item title start column, start line, the maximum number of characters per line, the maximum number of items menu, menu box line width (in pixels);
Note: w = 0 represents the horizontal center. After this time w x should be;
l = 0 indicates no menu box;
--u restore the original state of the menu.
if you use setmenu --box x=8 y=2 w=0 h=20 l=4 --help=8=23
then the box will start at x=8 and, if the width of the screen is 100 characters (800x600), then the menu will be 100 - 8*2 + 1 = 85 characters in width.
--lang is for the grub4dos help text that is below the menu, e.g. Press ENTER or 'b' to boot
It has at least one bug that I have found so far, so just regard it as experimental at the moment!
