nice screen now thanks for writing this macro ! Following your instructions made it easy to install though I am not a computer freak. Please let me know if there is a way to enlarge the text a little bit - I would appreciate it because my eyes are not so good any more, they have 77 years on their back :-)

Sorry for my bad English. I have a problem. I have Linux Mint Maya and Windows. This not detect LM icon. Appear GNU/Linux icon. Too I edit the .txt for problems to boot, because appear "unknown property" for the "terminal", just put a # in terminal-left, right, width and the other. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8LznZTwXvveUUxkdnRhTnFYaWM/view?usp=sharing

Hi, thanks for reporting. Please try to rename linux mint's icon to either linuxmint.png or mint.png. You may use these commands: $ sudo cp /boot/grub/themes/Aurora-Penguinis-GRUB2/icons/linux-mint.png /boot/grub/themes/Aurora-Penguinis-GRUB2/icons/linuxmint.png and $ sudo cp /boot/grub/themes/Aurora-Penguinis-GRUB2/icons/linux-mint.png /boot/grub/themes/Aurora-Penguinis-GRUB2/icons/mint.png Please report back, so I can fix this problem :)

lion-d-gem-heart

i think the problem is solved now ;) would appreciate your feedback

Sorry for answer late. Yes, I rename "linux-mint.png" to "linuxmint". That's work! Thank you.

And I am using "Grub Customizer" for the grub images like this. It's more easy.

GRUB

How to install a grub theme:

  1. Extract the theme to /boot/grub/themes/

  2. Edit /etc/default/grub file. Find the line starting with "#GRUB_THEME" and change it to "GRUB_THEME=/boot/grub/themes/[THEME_FOLDER]/[theme.txt]" (replace [THEME_FOLDER] ; [theme.txt] is probably OK ; remove "[]" brackets)

  3. Run sudo update-grub
