There are 4 colors taking effect, two for "normal" font and two for
"highlight" (i.e. selected menu option) font.

In normal font, background is usually transparent.  With your splash image
I assume foreground would be white, but this does apply to the window borders
too (in your example they're black).  Would that be a problem?

In highlight font, I think you used white as foreground but I'm not sure what
color did you use as background (dark-gray?).  Keep in mind you can't use any
color, for now you can only choose from the 16 color palette.  But if it's
important, I can improve the code that has this limitation.

Btw, there are two places for GRUB theme: installed system and install CD,
should we use the same on both?
