did you run
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
after editing /etc/default/grub?

Is the resolution 1920x1080 a supported mode? (see the note in: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GR … resolution)
Offline
yes, I did bit it still doesn't work.

yes, I did bit it still doesn't work.
what are the file permissions of the background file?
If the resolution is good as Tutti pointed out, try moving the background to / , with permissions set to root:root -rw-r--r--
When you run
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
you should see it say whether or not if finds the background during the make process.

Excuse me. I know this is an old post. but did you find the solution to this. I've done all the steps mention and it shows that the background image has been found during the make process

Please open your own thread instead of necroing.
Closing.
