Ghastly rendering of grub splash; drip gone

[Jay Cliburn]

I like the new DNA grub splash, but it's rendered horribly on my system 
by whatever grub uses to do it.  I mean really, *really* badly.  Also, I 
notice that the nice "leaf drip" default wallpaper is gone, in favor of 
a blank desktop.  Is this the responsible package?

- New graphics for fc6
- Remove the 4:3 background and add 5:4 ratio background

Is there a way I can improve the quality of the grub splash?

I noticed this today as well. Was just about to post something,  
however it definitely looks "funky" :P

Nah, there's just a color or two missing from the pallet.  The art folks are 
working on that this evening / tomorrow.

Probably not as horribly as it is on my system :-).

For some reason I get a screen (regardless of splash image)
with total gibberish as if the video is completely out of wack.
If I turn off the splash option and use plain text menu,
it looks fine.

I think this has something to do with the video mode
switching that goes on as it moves from bios display
to grub display to chainloading a different grub.
Sometimes the 2nd grub is scrambled, but it happens
very infrequently when an FC5 partition is the 2nd
grub, and virtually 100% of the time when FC6t2 is
the 2nd grub.

I kinda liked the fedora drip too - you oughta bring
it back :-).
