Not working on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS "Focal Fossa" #1

Even as I've followed the instructions in INSTALL.md to give my GRUB bootloader a new look in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS "Focal Fossa," the theme doesn't seem to work. I have tried pointing GRUB_THEME (in /etc/default/grub) to the absolute location of the theme folder (/usr/share/grub/themes/dracula), tried symlinking /boot/grub/themes/dracula to the same location, and copying the theme folder to /boot/grub/themes. I've done the "sudo update-grub" act after each of these methods. None of these have worked. My question is, is there something wrong with the theme itself, or with Ubuntu such that it's not allowing this kind of change to GRUB?

Try pointing the GRUB_THEME to theme.txt file in the dracula folder.

I had a similar issue on Debian 11. I received a no server is specified message on boot and then the default grub theme. I was able to get the theme to apply by placing it in the /boot/grub/themes directory instead. My final entry looks like this: GRUB_THEME=/boot/grub/themes/dracula/theme.txt.
