Hi Israel,

I have made a built-in tool to configure the background colours of the
final checkpoints (separate for standard installations and iso-testing).
The background for iso-testing should be nicer for the eyes, because it
is intended to be used often and by experienced users. It is described
with screenshots at the following link

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1958073&page=6&p=13331409#post13331409

You can download the bleeding edge version from Phill's server directly
or with help of *mkusb-installer* and wget. See this link

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb/v9#from_phillw.net

Best regards
Nio
