VM screenshot showing the GRUB menu

This is not a bug report, but a few design issues... Now that the menu is wider, the entries are not truncated anymore. But there are still other improvements needed.

1) The GRUB menu is only five lines tall, so you can't see all your installed OSes at once, when you have many. Same problem on the "Advanced Options", where you can't see more than 2 ou 3 kernel versions at once.

2) There is no slider showing on the GRUB menu, so you don't know if you can scroll down/up or not.

3) The progress bar is only 1 pixel thick and looks very cheap. Also, that progress bar is sitting far apart from its corresponding text countdown.

4) Things could be made more like the desktop Breeze theme. And/Or just more attractive...
