Grub Customizer doesn't change image background

linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – I use the latest version of Grub Customizer (3.0.2) and Ubuntu 12.04. On "appearance settings" I changed the background image and the font, but once I reboot the system they don't appear on grub, there's always the default ubuntu background image and the font seems a bit changed but not very well... Why? I tried to resize and crop the image as described here: Why can't I see the image changed with GRUB Customizer? but it doesn't work in any case. On /etc/default/grub: # If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update # /boot/grub/grub.cfg. # For full documentation of the (HowTos)

I am trying to use grub-customizer to add a custom background image and use the Ubuntu Condensed font. The preview looks fine:

But when I actually boot up, I get a messed-up configuration. The text is messed-up, with "unknown character" symbols appearing for the box around the boot menu options (because apparently only the default grub font has these special characters?).

Okay, could use some help/insight/suggestions.

Two days ago my background image I use for the Grub background was working just fine. I pulled down the 1600x900 .jpg image from the Web (I had been using a larger, but resized image) and replaced the existing image with this one.

First post..go easy :)

I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 as a dual boot with my Windows 7. I was using the Grub Customizer to mess with the Grub menu. I changed the resolution of the grub menu using Grub Customizer from 1900x1080x8 (or 16) to 1900x1080x24. Upon reboot I can no longer see my Grub menu. I can hit up/down arrow and select the OS by guessing.

When I try and start Grub Customizer, I get an error window that says the following: /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig:7: /etc/default/grub:9: not found.

I was originally trying to make my Windows 7 as the default program to start. Searching the Internet I found that using Grub Customizer would help me do this. It was already installed in my applications so I thought I would try it.
