Ubuntu Radiance for Grub 2 [BURG]
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
With ubuntu's new branding, GRUB needs a face-lifting too, and here it is.:)
To use this, you'll need burg, an updated version of grub 2.
There are two versions, one with text and one without text.
Here is how to instal BURG:
Add ppa:bean123ch/burg to software sources
sudo apt-get install burg burg-themes
Also check out the wiki for some in depth information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Burg
To use this theme:
Extract the tarball to /boot/burg/themes
sudo update-burg
While booting in the grub sereen, press 't'
In the theme selection menu, select radiance or Radiance Text.
If you select radiance text, I recommend editing /boot/burg/burg.cfg and making the menu entry names short for better presentation

first very cool theme. But the edges of the icon look a little bit cut out. Especially for the windows icon. It is because of the background? In sora theme they look sharper.

BTW, I make the following modification to the theme:
* As it shares icons with sora, I move them to themes/icons directory, and use this in theme to include it:
include ../icons/hover
* In style, add - before section name.
- means remove existing section before adding new setting, while default behavior is to merge. This would cause problem when you switch to other theme and switch back.
* In style of radiancetext, text color shouldn't be set to "white:white" otherwise you can't see the text in theme selection menu. This color should be set in template_menuitem section in theme file.

Could you tell me how to add the Arch icon to sora_clean theme? It currently uses the unknown icon.
I want it to use this icon:

And this is the current arch burg icon, a bit better looking imo:

anyone having problem with installing burg can go to this link and follow the steps.

the basic mistake we normally do is not following the last step i.e. install-burg "hd0"
hope it helps!

there is a lot more to do it!
You must to install burg themes, and others burg features to work, editing a burg configuration, and set the burg the new boot manager. Please, update the Instalation instructions! I had problems before to fix the wrong instalation.
