+We currently set some gray to the background window:

+http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft/drakx/trunk/perl-install/share/themes-galaxy.rc?revision=4041&view=markup&sortby=date
+
+But the issues with gradients on 16bit is the bad dithering as shown

+
+You can test drakx-in-chroot by running:
+drakx-in-chroot /path/to/your/mirror /dir/where/you/want/to/install
+
+eg:
+
+drakx-in-chroot /mageia/unstable/x86_64 /my_chroot/
+
+Though quite a lot less used, I added support for remote repo:
+
+drakx-in-chroot http://my_mirror/mageia  /my/chroot
+
+Buf for theming, I think you'll need to alter the mdkinst.sqfs (the
+stage2 of the installer).
+Best is to mirror the distro, then go into install/stage2:
+
+unsquashfs mdkinst.sqfs
+#alter squashfs-root/*
+mksquashfs squashfs-root/ mdkinst.sqfs.
+
+test using a virtual maching booting on boot.iso (from install/images/boot.iso)
+which is the stage1 of the installer, that will load stage2
+
+> and where to send possible patches.
+
+To me :-)
