Re: [beagleboard] Here is the BeagleBone Debian (beta + fixes) image you want to test (2014-03-27)
Seems that the color replacement tool isnt very clean around the letters. I should have checked this before posting the image . . . But in this case, I'll have to get more creative in what I do here ( color masking ) which will take me a while longer. I do not have the time right at this very moment but will try later this evening, Also I had an idea of making an OpenROV like background . . . form the beagleboard.org top animated ad box . . .

As a side note I rather like a black background, But I have not seen the background image you speak of yet.
