Attached are diff files to be applied, in /src/VBox/Additions/linux/installer, to add cosmetics (mostly colouring) for the messages printed, during startup and shutdown procedures, by the VirtualBox Guest Additions running in Arch Linux.
Basically, I replicated the use of cosmetics in SuSE, Gentoo and Red Hat, using equivalent accessory functions from /etc/rc.d/functions, which is available in Arch Linux. The changes in vboxadd-timesync.sh are a bit more extensive because of the lack of (forgotten?) a redefineable begin() function, so I created it for all of the known distros (copying it from vboxadd.sh), and used it in the appropriate instances. These patches are open for discussion, of course. I hereby license the attached patches under the MIT license. If you're willing to add an attribution anywhere, please contact me back and I'll provide you with my real name. -- CS
