Tiny bit of help with iPXE menu look

[BigMan99211]

Hey guys,

I’m trying to modify my iPXE boot menu a little bit more. I’ve already changed the background image to show my company’s logo. But, now I have a small thing that i’m trying to fix. The orange “selection” bar that highlights each item, goes almost the full width of the screen. Is there a way to trim it down to only highlight the listed items? I mean an average width… I’m not trying to get it to re-size specific to each line or anything. I just don’t want it covering up the company logo!

Thanks in advance!

Edit the logo file so that the logo is in a spot where the bars won’t cover it up.

That’s the quick and easy fix, it’s what I’d do.

look at BootMenu.class.php - in and around line 1010 which is where it “builds” the menu… have a play around, see what works and luckily it’s all hookable, so you can amend it and won’t be reverted on upgrade (due to the fact hooks get copied during install!)

here’s my hook doing something similar if it helps you in the right direction

[CODE]<?php
class BrandBootMenu extends Hook
{
var $name = ‘BrandBootMenu’;
var $description = ‘customize boot menu items.’;
var $author = ‘Lee Rowlett’;
var $active = true;
public function tweakmenu($arguments)
{
if ($arguments[‘ipxe’][‘head’])
{
$arguments[‘ipxe’][‘head’][7] = ‘colour --rgb 0x036802 2’;
$arguments[‘ipxe’][‘head’][14] = preg_replace(‘#right 80#’,‘right 80 --top 80’,$arguments[‘ipxe’][‘head’][14]);
}
}
}
$BrandBootMenu = new BrandBootMenu();
// Hook Event
$HookManager->register(‘IPXE_EDIT’, array($BrandBootMenu, ‘tweakmenu’));[/CODE]
