Discussion on IRC revealed that it was monitor overscan problem and not GRUB bug.

I just wanted to say, very nice boot image!

1. What is the resolution of your screen while booting?
2. Could this be supported by any scaling parameters in the configuration?

I was reading https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/388981, but it did not explain what parameters to add.

It could be that the size of the console font does not align correctly with the screen. Maybe changing your image to 1200x720 or similar might help center the picture.

To help with development, you could:

Try as a test and put a light-red single-pixel border around the edge of your image. Then a white single-pixel border inside of that. And a light-green single-pixel border. Another white one. And then a light blue one.

That will let you see its borders to determine if it is fully shown at full resolution. And if you can resize it to get it centered.

If you get it centered, post-back what resolution of the image you had to scale it to to help developers scale 1280x800 to in-code.

I have attached two image files.

darkblue_hatsune_miku-1280x800 is the original image.

darkblue_hatsune_miku-1280x800-on-monitor is the result shown on grub.

The bottom and the right sides of the image are cropped by the black border at the margin.

It is especially conspicuous on the bottom side.

Thus, my image doesn't look very good on my monitor.

I would appreciate if anybody fixes this border problem.
