Grub2 Themes Download Fedora
Installation
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
Fedora Grub2 Mkconfig
Update grub configuration:# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

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 archmenuentry '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
How can I change the logo theme?
Copy your logo image to /boot/grub/themes/THEME/ (must be in PNG)
Edit /boot/grub/themes/THEME/theme.txt:+ image {
id = '_archlogo_'
left = 30%
width = 10%
top = 2%
height = 12%
file = 'archlogo.png' # distribution logo
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
