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/

, otherwisegrub-mkconfig
