  1. Fedora Grub2 Mkconfig

Today I am going to show you how to fix GRUB2 bootloader theme. After a fresh install of fedora you are missing grub themes it's a known issue and a simple fix. NOTE: This is from fedora 19 onwards. NOTE: Update for DNF. There is very little difference between fedora 20 and 22, The one real difference is that fedora 22.

Using git:
$ git clone git://github.com/Generator/Grub2-themes.git
# cp -r Grub2-themes/{Archlinux,Archxion} /boot/grub/themes/

Edit your /etc/default/grub and change line:
#GRUB_THEME='/path/to/gfxtheme'
to
GRUB_THEME='/boot/grub/themes/Archxion/theme.txt'
or
GRUB_THEME='/boot/grub/themes/Archlinux/theme.txt'

The resolution the theme was designed to show best at 1024x768:
GRUB_GFXMODE=auto
to
GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768

FAQ

My distribution does not have icon in boot menu, how can I add?
Find your distribution/OS class
# grep 'menuentry' '--class' /boot/grub/grub.cfg
should be first after the name of the distribution/OS.

E.g.: The class for ArchLinux is arch
menuentry 'Arch Linux' --class arch --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os

Rename the image to the class name (arch.png)
Resize the image to 32x32, and copy it to /boot/grub/themes/THEME/icons/
(Images must be in PNG)

Can I change the background or color of the theme?
Yes, choose an image, convert and resize to 1024x768 in PNG
Copy the image to /boot/grub/themes/THEME/
Edit /boot/grub/themes/THEME/theme.txt:
desktop-image: 'background.png' # Theme background image
desktop-color: '#000000' # Theme color

Why the menus are so slow?
Grub2 has some keyboard lag using themes, as referred on 'The Definitive Guide To Theming GRUB 2 v1.99' pag 73
