Grub background is quite interesting feature offered by Grub-Customizer. There are options to set it manually but with this tool you can easily add any image to your grub, can set custom resolution and also font customization is available.

What's new and fixes in this version:

* Hiding placeholders 
* View options 
* Improved trash view

* Theming
* Improved appearance settings 
* Script replacement detection (no more duplicates when grub scripts are replaced by an update of grub)
