Arch silence - GRUB theme

Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net

Description:

Arch-linux themed GRUB theme.

After installing the package:

1. open the file "/etc/default/grub"
2. set the GRUB_THEME line to GRUB_THEME="/boot/grub/themes/arch-silence/theme.txt"
3. run `sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg` to update the grub config file.

You might also want to set the GRUB_GFXMODE variable in /etc/default/grub to fit your screen resolution if the logo is stretched.

The logo seems fine, but the text under the edit options, and messages after selection like "loading initial ramdisk" seem all stretched, is there a way to fix it? setting grub_gfxmode to 1920x1080 didn't help with it

answering to myself if anyone finds it useful in the future the problem was the font used which wasn't looking pretty after converting to pf2, I changed the terminal font from Dejavu Sans to Fira Mono and now the font doesn't look stretched anymore :)

I created a an arch package and added the link.
The theme has been tested only on my 15" laptop so it will likely not look good on other resolutions.
Also the terminal font is super ugly so if anyone manages to fix it feel free to send a pull request.
