Perhaps it'd be better if we add a simple background (like Debian currently
has) for now. New theme support is a lot of work (both artist work and
technical work), and it could delay the metad release if we wait for it :-/
A GRUB background is rather simple: just a 24-bit 640x480 PNG and a choice of
foreground/background font color (16-color palette). The only caveat is it
has to look well when overlaying GRUB's menu on top. See for example:
