grub2-mkconfig not applying theme with current instructions #57

The current configuration given in the README.md doesn't work because the instructions included to modify /etc/default/grub don't include commenting out the GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console" line.

Without commenting GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console":

$ sudo grub2-mkconfig -o test
Generating grub configuration file ...
Found Windows Boot Manager on /dev/sda1@/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
Adding boot menu entry for UEFI Firmware Settings ...
done

With commenting GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console":

$ sudo grub2-mkconfig -o test
Generating grub configuration file ...
Found theme: /boot/grub2/themes/hp/theme.txt
Found Windows Boot Manager on /dev/sda1@/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
Adding boot menu entry for UEFI Firmware Settings ...
done

Therefore, in addition to uncommenting and adding GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080 andGRUB_THEME="/boot/grub2/themes/<theme name>/theme.txt", the instructions should include commenting out GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console", in order to force the theme files to be generated, as opposed to the simple grub menu.

Ok. I updated the README.md
