If you use the menusetting utility in grub4dos to change the position and size of the menu, you might like to try the E2B_editor.exe that comes with Easy2Boot.

The file it generates is intended for Easy2Boot, but you can still see the settings and use the values in your own grub4dos code.

Try 1.0.37  (just uploaded)

I have improved parsing of colours.

[phoenixmet]

Just back to default colors color standard=0x008080 and not to my personal color color standard= cyan/black

[steve6375]

0x008080 is cyan so it is the same, so it is working correctly.

 

color standard=0x008080    ==      color standard=cyan/black

 

However, 0x00AAAA is what grub4dos uses for cyan which is not quite the same as 0x008080.

 

The next version uses the same colours as grub4dos.

in E2B_Editor_v1.0.41 if i edit the color of standard  eg. red/black when update the MyE2B.cfg his take 0xAA0000.

 

If i wanna change this color i have to change by my self great work Steve thanks i ask you so much

[steve6375]

v1.0.46 now supports UTF-8 and @DATE and @TIME.

 

non-ANSI characters sets like Chinese\Japanese\Persian are not supported though.

i use this for along time HEADING=\x20 %@DATE% %@TIME% E2B - MENÚ PRINCIPAL (%VER%) %B64% looks great in the e2bed

[steve6375]

v1.0.78 of the editor is now available. It defaults to a black 800x600 background if no background bitmap is loaded.
