During bootup in Bart's Boot Disk I want to change the background colour.

In MsDOS I can use Ansi.sys in the Config.sys & Ansiset in the Autoexec.bat.
Unfortunateley, Ansi.sys is incompatible with Freedos (incorrect Dos version)

Can anyone suggest a way of colour control in BARTS boot disk ?

can't you add a line in the config.sys called "menucolor=XY" where XY are the color numbers (http://www.csulb.edu/~murdock/menucolor.html)...?

just out of curiosity,

is menucolor for the background of the menu or for the background of the desktop?

and for anyone interested in changing background image and start button:

Yourtech, you're offtopic here.

the topicstarter asked about a way to change the background of Bart Lagerweij's DOS bootdisk, not the background of BartPE..

FreeDOS has the NANSI driver,
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/...iles/dos/nansi/

device=nansi.sys

MENUCOLOR=X,Y

look at Google for more detailed info about MENUCOLOR.
I know X and Y each must be a value between 1 and 15,
and not the same value ofcourse (otherwise you don't see text on the background).
each number represents a color.
