IIRC, the problem no longer occurs (I can't check currently).

Hello Vincent,
Is this still a problem in the latest grub default
theme?  There can be no check for this. It is up to the person that is
designing the theme to make sure you can see the count down timer.

I can not see it on my latest grub so can we close the bug?

So, that's a problem with the default theme. I think things have
improved, but I'm not sure (I don't have the machine here to check).

I don't think we can automatically check for something like this.
Compare it to a html page instruction browser to print white-on-white.
In the end of the day it's designer responsibility to ensure that text
is readable

Bug#605366: grub-pc: part of GRUB text is unreadable

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98+20100804-8
Severity: normal

A part of the GRUB text (in particular the remaining time before the
default is automatically selected) is unreadable with the new theme
(used by default) because of transparency and the fact that both the
foreground color and the background color are light. GRUB should
ensure that its text is always readable.
