grub2 theme PKGBUILD - what am I missing?

I wrote the following in an attempt to install the winter theme for grub2.  The package builds just fine, but I must be missing something because there is no theme displayed upon a reboot into grub2, just blue text.  Note that all the grub2-theme.install does it inform the user to edit /etc/default/grub and to set GRUB_THEME to the following bold text and then to update the grub.cfg via a grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

GRUB_THEME=/boot/grub/themes/winter/theme.txt

I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this since the true problem might be with me not understanding grub2, not with the PKGBUILD itself.  Please move the thread if appropriate.
