GRUB2 Bootloader KCModule is an open source KDE Control Center Module for configuring the GRUB2 boot loader of any Linux operating system that runs the KDE desktop environment.
Being smoothly integrated in the KDE System Settings tool, GRUB2 Bootloader KCModule is the central place for managing your GRUB2 configuration.
GRUB2 Bootloader KCModule supports many GRUB2 configuration options, such as the ability to manage default boot entry, boot timeout, boot resolutions, boot menu colors, boot menu theme, Linux kernel arguments, as well as to save and update the configuration files of GRUB2.

What is new in version 0.4.5:
- Remove Old Entries
- Provide list of valid GRUB resolutions
- The other cool feature introduced in 0.4.5 is detection of valid GRUB resolutions. To get a list of GRUB supported resolutions for your setup would require to reboot, enter the GRUB command line and type ‘vbeinfo'. Quite nasty compared to launching the GRUB Editor and selecting a resolution, huh? Damn, you will miss all the dirty work.
- Other features include the simplification of the default-entry-picking and resolutions-picking UI (as can be seen in the screenshots above), variable substitution using ‘echo' (Debian/Kubuntu users will no longer see `lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` but the result of this command), a couple of minor fixes in the splash image creation dialog, and last but not least unified save and update actions (you will asked for your password only once when saving - makes more sense).
What is new in version 0.3.6:
- Version 0.3.6 is a small fix release which tuned some things here and there. I had to do it because it fixes a security issue which was accidentally introduced in the previous release (0.3.5).
