How to setup background image in grub of Fedora 37 xfce spin?

us flag

I installed Fedora 37 XFCE spin on my Lenovo Yoga 4k laptop. The Grub options during the startup looks so small. So I installed sudo dnf install grub-customizer to easily change the grub config through a UI.

With the grub-customizer I can change the text to a larger font. I can even change the text color. Great. But no matter what I do I cannot set a background image. How do I put in an image?

So the grub-customizer does proper partial job. Some links argues we have to use a .png image, I did that, still no luck. Grub documentation also mention that it accepted .jpg, jpg also no luck on my case. I also tried reducing the resolution. Grub run as root, yes the image location is readable by my user and root.

Anyone have any suggestion?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
