Save that file and update grub (step 4). If this did not work, try to replace
`/usr/share/` with `/boot/` and repeat installation steps 2-4.

- Q: **_"Why is the default countdown timer text overlapping the theme?"_**
A: Force GRUB to use the menu style instead of the hidden/countdown style by setting `GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE="menu"` in `/etc/default/grub`. Proceed to update grub (see step 4 of the installation).

- Q: **_"How can I remove the default blue splash screen that flashes after GRUB on Debian/Kali?"_**
A: Override the default background by adding `GRUB_BACKGROUND="/usr/share/backgrounds/transition.png"` (or your preferred image path) to `/etc/default/grub`. Proceed to update grub (see step 4 of the installation).
