GRUB customizer 4.01.1 cannot see Theme.txt

[Johan Terblanche]

Ajthough there is a theme.txt file in a download theme (Matrix),
GRUB customizer reports the following when trying to apply a downloaded theme:
"This theme doesn't contain a theme.txt. Please look for the config file and rename it to "theme.txt"!

Updating GRUB also does not apply selected theme when rebooted, GRUB otherwise comes up, as per configuration set up in GRUB Customizer.

Using:
Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS
GRUB customizer 4.0.1

The theme.txt is at a subdirectory ("matrix") but expected on the toplevel. This is because the package begins with root directory instead of files.

TODO:
Detect this case and unpack to toplevel.

[Daniel Richter (danielrichter2007)]

The package should be unpacked correctly now.

Please note that some packages have files like setup.sh. These files shouldn't be added this way. You should run these setup files manually to install them correctly. After doing so the theme should show up at the theme chooser. So you can switch / edit your themes this way.

Thanks Daniel!!
Works flawlessly now!

With grub-customizer 4.0.4/Ubuntu 12.04, I saw the exact same problem again. Can somebody check this?

[Daniel Richter (danielrichter2007)]

Is there a file namend "theme.txt"?

[Daniel Richter (danielrichter2007)]

Can you provide a download link?

I'm sorry, but I've installed the package today, on ubuntu 14.04 and I got the same bug.
