@Takstaartje /usr/share/grub/themes seems to be the correct place to install grub themes, as evidenced by the extra/breeze-grub package. Unless you can find a package in the regular Arch repos that uses /boot/grub/themes, I'd be hesitant to change that to be the default place.

I think an envvar would be a reasonable compromise, although I'll note that the package you linked defaults to /boot/grub/themes rather than /usr/share/grub/themes as stated (also, you are doing a double assignment with both = and :=; I recommend switching to :-).

This package and the non -git AUR package install the theme in /usr/share/grub/themes. That works, but I suggest this package is updated to install it in /boot/grub/themes instead (by default, overwritable), for the following reasons:

To align with the installation instructions on GitHub by the author
To align with where the minegrub world selection theme installs the theme
The most important reason: the double-minegrub-theme depends on both packages being installed in /boot/grub/efi, hardcoded even
Themes in /usr/share/grub/themes/ cannot be loaded when the full disk is encrypted

I thus suggest the following: like I did in the minegrub world selection theme aur package, default to installation path to /usr/share/grub/themes, but allow overwriting this path through an environment variable.

Adjusting this would make it incredibly easier to create an AUR package for the double minegrub theme.
