I have just done this on my Glo (manually updated mark4 firmware 3.16.0 with "upgrade/mx50-ntx/uImage" renamed to "upgrade/mx50-ntx/uImage-E606B0") but it hasn't had any effect on the menu ghosting problem.
Edit: Apart from the menu ghosting, there are a couple of other bad effects to do with the colour scheme that started in 3.15.0 (but disappeared when LeanAndMean=false was used):
1. When I select a menu item and it inverts, the inverted colour is no longer white on black but light grey on dark grey. These strange coloured inversions seem to be related to the ghosting in that the ghost they leave is much darker than the ghost from oher objects that are in a black and white scheme.
2. The screen background colour is no longer white but very light grey in many places. It is not obvious because it is a very light shade of grey, but I can see it clearly in the book details view when I select one of the synopsis or details buttons: the newly selected button has a white background that is noticably whiter than the rest of the screen, even though the whole screen had just been refreshed when the details view was opened.
Edit2: And I just thought of a possible explaination for the new menu colour scheme causing exra ghosting: When the menus are in black and white the partial refresh code only has to refresh the black part, but when the menus are in a two-tone grey scheme the code has to refresh both parts. Perhaps the partial refresh code hasn't been updated and is just refreshing the dark grey part, which leaves the light grey part remaining on the screen like a very heavy ghost.
