--------------------------------

File: 
journey-grub-theme.tar.gz

This archive contains the GRUB2 theme files of the Debian GNU/Linux theme.

--------------------------------

To install this theme on your computer:

1) If it doesn't exist yet, make a directory "themes" in /boot/grub.
sudo mkdir /boot/grub/themes

2) Unzip the archive
tar -xzvf journey-grub-theme.tar.gz

3) Copy the folder "journey" to
/boot/grub/themes/journey

4) Edit the GRUB2 configuration file /etc/default/grub to include these lines:

GRUB_GFXMODE=800x600
GRUB_THEME=/boot/grub/themes/journey/theme.txt

A resolution of 800x600px should be OK for most modern screens. 
But you are free to adapt it to the resolution of your own monitor. 
Valid resolutions for Grub can be found if you type "c" at the 
Grub boot menu and type "vbeinfo". 

5) Update GRUB2
sudo update-grub

That's it. Reboot.

In this theme I used many elements from an Ubuntu theme 
created by Jo Shields:
