An Alternative To Grub Customizer

You don't have to use Grub Customizer to add a picture of your choice to your Grub Menu.

Once I moved that picture to the /boot/grub directory I right clicked on the directory and choose "open as root" and changed the Ocean.jpeg to Ocean.png.


Then I opened the /etc/default/grub file and added this string to the file.

GRUB_BACKGROUND=/boot/grub/Ocean.png


After you add that line to your /etc/default/grub file update Grub like so:

#sudo update-grub
