That's ok. The border could be white too.

Foreground is always white (normal and highlight). The background for
highlighted options in the example image is black with 50% of opacity.
If we can't use transparency, black is ok.

If GRUB is what I see in the following image, I think we should use a
slightly different theme for install CD; the same background image with
"gNewSense GNU/Linux" added somewhere, so that people know what they are
about to install.

In general, I'd prefer not to have a different background everywhere,
I'd like the screens to be as uniform as possible.
