I installed Vimix grub theme, when grub starts there is a black border at the left of the screen.

This is how i installed the theme:
git clone https://github.com/vinceliuice/grub2-themes
cd grub2-themes/
sudo ./install.sh -v -w
This is how grub looks like (sorry for bad quality):

Maybe its missing
GRUB_GFXMODE=[height]x[width]x32
as explained in README.
I use Archxion/theme designed for 1024x768 resolution and in /etc/default/grub
/GRUB_GFXMODE="1024x768x32"

Hi, thanks for answering
I tried:
GRUB_GFXMODE="1920x1080x32"
But nothing happen, at first i thought the problem was that grub won't change resolution, so i tried:
GRUB_GFXMODE="640x480x32"
The font and icons size changed but the border and the background image remains the same. Is this the expected behavior?

The monitor was the problem, i had to perform an auto-adjustment
