Dear Balder,
Have downloaded ur new zip file and got happy to see grub script.
You have used gfxmenu = /boot.gfx.gz to set background image that very good to have and avoid boring black console.
You know balder I tried gurb script by editing menu.lst by these below content ::

and got weird to see no menu.lst found and thers only grub> prompt. or sometime I get the background image but no menus.. its seems its not supporting these menus entries or dont know why.
Also, If i make an iso from script and edit the test.iso and in that if I edit the menu.lst and save the test.iso file I noticed that the original iso file had 806Kb size and later after saving the file, the size decreases to 498kb its quite strange.
plz
Abbas

Yes this is normal. If using gfx-menu you are limited to use “standard letters”.
Note1: the request from @ allgames71 was to use the “penguin” background. You cannot even not use a “plain background”, typically a xpm-picture.
I’m pretty sure this is related to grub itself. I don’t think grub support “odd letters” – that’s what causes you problem – you have to stick to the black background if you like this “odd letters” 
This menu below works, but each "title" steals entries in menu – again not any bright idea 
default 0
timeout 10
gfxmenu = /boot.gfx.gz

Note: I’m reworking script to support automatically transfer of ISO-build to USB device. In this way you do not need to jump to easyboot-usb.script to get your ISO-build to USB. Instead when you have created ISO and tested it, you only need to push a button in the “USB-section” and USB device is automatically formatted and all files and folders are correctly integrated to USB.
However if the original ISO-build is working to 100% on USB as well, isn’t guarantied – but can afterwards be corrected by user.
How does this sounds 
Regards balder

okies balder I got the point.
Now theres another thing. Try opening the test.iso by ultraiso and do nothing (no changes at all) and save the iso file just by file save and see the file size changes to 498kb from 806kb. Also after saving the file which now turned 498kb if you try to boot from qemu or vmware no do not get menu list rather grub> prompt.
1.Why the file size changes to 498 after saving it
2.Why it fails to load menu.lst after saving the file and that too with editing it.
plz try this and see if u also getting the same issue.

That ISO-files is less in size when saved from UltraIso is likely because UltraIso use some kind of internal “compress” to wipe out “space” in ISO-file (this is a wild guess from me).
Note1: Script uses the well-known freeware “Mkisofs.exe” that is a very reliable ISO creator.
Note2: When burning ISO to CD/DVD it doesn’t increase space needed on CD/DVD. It’s the size of the files inside ISO-file that sets the agenda for how much space you need on CD/DVD to have it working. This means, that you still need the same space on CD/DVD, even if the size of ISO-file is less when using UltraIso 
Opening ISO-files this way (using UltraIso) and then manipulate them can cause ISO-file to not work properly. Instead put files and folders in folder ISO in WinBuilde_complete from beginning and then create ISO 
Quote: “Why it fails to load menu.lst after saving the file and that too with editing it.”
It’s because you haven’t checked “RockRidge” in properties in UltraIso when saving ISO-file
