Grub2 theme in the spirit of Lubuntu?

[Nio Wiklund]

Nice grub2 theme, John :-)

How much does your theme cost?

- counted as increased iso file size
- counted as increased boot time

If the cost is insignificant, it is a very good idea, particularly
because I think it makes 'dual booting beginners' happier. (I guess you
do not intend to show the grub menu in single boot systems.)

Best regards
Nio
