qifei9, By the wiki you can edit /etc/default/grub
:
GRUB_THEME="/usr/share/grub/themes/vimix-color-1080p/theme.txt"
Now Re-generate grub.cfg.
Imo the PKGBUILD installation should do this edit.

qifei9, this is the intended behaviour for 2 reasons:
often times /boot is a partition of its own with limited space available.
official arch packages install grub themes in the same folder (see PKGBUILD for breeze-grub and grub-theme-vimix as an example).
So if you want a theme to be seen by grub-mkconfig or grub customizer, you have to manually copy the theme folder yourself.
has to copy the theme from /usr/share/grub/themes/
to /boot/grub/themes
, otherwise grub-mkconfig
cannot find the theme.
I had to remove slaze since it was removed from the source repository.
install: cannot stat 'backgrounds/1080p/background-slaze.jpg': No such file or directory
info.png should be installed in /boot/grub/themes instead of /usr/share/grub/themes.
Doesn't work with the newest version, I get an error saying:
error: file '/usr/share/grub/themes/vimix-color-1080p/info.png' not found
I assume this file is new and needs to be packaged.
This theme is not detected/useable by grub-customizer....
Weird behavior here. makepkg
sits for a very long time seemingly doing nothing right at the beginning, and then again after "Entering fakeroot environment...". Like several minutes each time.
@FirstAirBender,
Please try grub-themes-git instead: https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/grub-themes-git/
:)
