The gnu like a watermark is very elegant, I think. But the Guix logo and the gnu head are stomping on each other's feet. How about putting the Guix logo in the lower right corner of the frame with the boot options? Is it possible to drop this frame? I suppose not, but it would again be more elegant with respect to the gnu watermark. > Finally, I made a dark text on light background version, as Andreas > suggested.

If you go for the dark version, how about choosing just white instead of light grey text color? Andreas
