I updated my screen shots at Post your Grub 2 Themes
<http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1823915&page=14&p=13031738#post13031738>
Still on my to-do list:
_ Lubuntu icon
_ LightDM shade of white?
_ Test on other hardware to see if an ugly terminal box appears
_ Install script
AFAIK, you can't style unselected boot menu items, so there is a limit
to matching with the LightDM login screen.

I have some other things on the to-do list also, but I would be happy
not only to have a Lubuntu icon, but also to know what shade of white
is used in the LightDM login box.

Hi Rafael,
I was thinking along the lines of
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Themes
But, you and John need to have a chat :)

Agree. But just one thing to keep in mind: Ubuntu itself hasn't
themed grub2. The normal screen is like this:

When you're talking about a more "complete" theme, do you mean
something like this? http://i.imgur.com/Mj6fe6U.png
I'm sure you know you can customize (on any Ubuntu flavour) the
grub, grub2 or burg entries and theme it a bit with Grub
Customizer: http://goo.gl/Pmj9qH
Anyway, I was having a look to the wiki docs:
grub2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
grub2 (displays): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Displays
I don't say theming grub2 for Lubuntu is a bad idea. I'm
considering that, if there's no Ubuntu flavour customized, why
should we? But I insist, if you all (the Community) consider it's
a "must-have", I'll be glad to work on it.
Cheers!

Does anyone know of a ready-made Grub2 theme that
is not heavy and that accords decently with the
Lubuntu design? I'm dual-booting Windows and
Lubuntu and looking for something dressier than
the default black-and-white menu.
And I use the word "theme" advisedly. I don't
mean merely adding a background image and font
colors (though I'll probably do that if I don't
find a not-too-difficult theme solution).
John:
I applaud your idea.
I think, if it did nothing else, that it should
indicate "Lubuntu" instead of "Ubuntu". I have a lot
of partitions on my machines, and it would be helpful
to know which is which.
Linux Mint seems to be able to do it, as does
openSUSE. I would like it if each Ubuntu variant
identified itself in the GRUB menu.
I noticed that the LXLE spin-off of Lubuntu 12.04 has
a GRUB background picture (which I like), though it
makes the text hard to read (except for the selected
item).
I'm working on a theme now. Is there a Lubuntu icon file
that I can grab somewhere?
