I've just switched to Fedora from Ubuntu (my first distro switch

seven years!). I have multiple operating systems on my machines, and use
a small dedicated GRUB parition to boot them. When I switched to Fedora,
I re-installed the copy of GRUB I boot from, but the screen looks a bit
different. In particular, I'm not seeing a border around the menu now.
This is what it looks like on a machine with Ubuntu's GRUB:

and this is what it looks like on the machine where GRUB was
re-installed from Fedora:

Anybody have any idea what might have changed? The grub.cfg file for
the new machine was cut 'n' pasted from the old file and just changed
for menu entries and directory locations. I can post it if necessary.
I switched from ubuntu/Debian to Fedora a while back.. I think I still
have Mint on my laptop.
your ubuntu shows the grub version 2.02~beta2, fedora 22 does not.
my fedora dnf list shows:
# dnf list|grep grub2
grub2.x86_64 1:2.02-0.16.fc22
I can't recall if mine has a border, but it seems to me my grub2 menu
looks more like your ubuntu menu..
if you boot from ubuntu & do mkconfig & grub2-install it will create a
new grub with ubuntu being the default.. if that version looks better to
you:)
