I just wanted the issue to be solved; it's been almost 2-3 months now, and I was hoping some update would fix it, but alas, nothing has solved it till now.
I indirectly wanted to bring it to your notice, hoping someone would reopen the thread and help me with it.
It seems that everyone has the issue, I suppose.
What good is a beautiful Plymouth when it's not even displayed?
Not everyone wants to see what's going on behind the scenes. Even if they do, they could simply press an arrow key whenever required!
Please, stay on topic.

PFtt now my booing him off the stage has no context ;p
I will say though this is a tad ironic because I like my greeters themed and all that but during boot and shutdown I hate things like the splash screens hiding what's going on. This is more so with those GD "Stop Jobs" when they hang your damn machine for up to five minutes some times.

Further down this than what was requested is:
# Uncomment one of them for the gfx desired, a image background or a gfxtheme
#GRUB_BACKGROUND="/path/to/wallpaper"
GRUB_THEME="/usr/share/grub/themes/garuda-dr460nized/theme.txt"
Is this appropriate in your grub, is the index file appropriate and does the image exist and named correctly?
My index:
title-text: ""
title-font: "DejaVu Sans Regular 48"
message-font: "Terminus 16"
message-color: "#7f8c8d"
message-bg-color: "#4d4d4d"
desktop-color: "#000000"
desktop-image: "background.png"
terminal-font: "Terminus 14"
terminal-left: "0"
terminal-top: "0"
terminal-width: "100%"
terminal-height: "100%"
terminal-border: "0"
+ label {
top = 20%
height = 35
left = 0%
width = 100%
#text = "Welcome to Garuda"
align = "center"
font = "DejaVu Sans Regular 48"
color = "#ffffff"
}
+ boot_menu {
left = 15%
#width = 250
width = 70%
#top = 50%-125
#height = 400

selected_item_font = "Terminus 16"
selected_item_color = "#02CCFC"
selected_item_pixmap_style = "select_*.png"
menu_pixmap_style = "menu_*.png"
}
#+ progress_bar {
# id = "__timeout__"
# left = 0
# top = 100%-32
# width = 100%
# height = 32
# show_text = false
# bar_style = "progress_bar_*.png"
# highlight_style = "progress_bar_hl_*.png"
#}
+ progress_bar {
id = "__timeout__"
left = 50%-125
top = 70%
width = 250
height = 20
show_text = true
font = "Terminus 14"
text_color = "#ffffff"
align = "center"

bar_style = "progress_bar2_*.png"
}
+ vbox {
left = 50%-125
top = 80%
width = 250
+ label { width = 250 height = 20 align = "center" color = "#ffffff" font = "Terminus 16" text = "[↵] Boot selected OS" }
+ label { width = 250 height = 20 align = "center" color = "#ffffff" font = "Terminus 16" text = "[↑ and ↓ Key] Navigation" }
+ label { width = 250 height = 20 align = "center" color = "#ffffff" font = "Terminus 16" text = "[E] Edit Selection" }
+ label { width = 250 height = 20 align = "center" color = "#ffffff" font = "Terminus 16" text = "[C] GRUB Commandline" }
}
I do have background.png in that same directory (along with all the fonts).
But what several else would see is its working in other distros and not in Garuda
It works...it's just like nope, nope, nope, SURPRISE! Then I'm all like esc esc shift GO AWAY!

Have you tried changing the splash screen in the Garuda Assistant to see if:
A) it then displays the different splash
B) can then be changed back and display the one you want
E2A: The OP is apparently going to bed and will respond tomorrow.
Dunno why they PM'd me rather than posting here, but I'm posting here to let the thread know.

Everything is just like yours!
And I have a background image too.
But I don't think it has to do anything with the Plymouth/splash?
And my grub is all working fine.
I tried, but it didn't work.
BTW, is the splash/Plymouth showing for you?
Sorry, I should have mentioned it here itself.
Here’s what it looks like when I boot my laptop just after the grub menu:
But while shutting down/rebooting, the Plymouth shows:
This is my /etc/default/grub:

You know what's strange? When I did my second Garuda install last night (Barebones KDE) I started getting that gray with ellipses while booting. The ... ellipses is always on a different part of the screen but it's there.

You mean like this one?
Yeah, just the ellipses changes size and placement for funzies.

Oh..
So you got this issue in your barebones install.
Did you have this in your dragonized install?
Thanks
