Freeldr UI modifications

[mf]

Hi,

I recall having heard several suggestions to make freeldr easier on the 
eyes (don't underestimate 60Hz VGA resolutions on a CRT) and/or make it 
look more familiar to ntldr. I have experimented with editing bootsup.c 
and the result implements both suggestions. The black background makes 
it less flickery on CRT displays and looks more in line with ntldr (the 
Windows boot loader). Please see the attached image and tell me your 
thoughts and observations.

Best Regards,

mf.

I'd really recommend the ntldr look.

Hi
The color can be change in freeldr.ini how it looks
and the res. rember not all graphic card support some
graphic mode or text mode.
read the reactos/boot/freeldr/freeldr.ini
how to change color and res. and I think current design for freeldr is
pettry nice. and I really like the current desgin.

That's exactly how my freeldr looks, but I only had to modify 
freeldr.ini. Why touch bootsup.c?

Best regards,
