After installing the theme and follow the tweak instructions, the Kali Plymouth/splash screen does not work even trying these commands.
sudo plymouth-set-default-theme kali -R && sudo update-grub

I understand that the Submenu section pretty much already explains how to do this, but the format for the standard menu entries is a little different.
There are multiple guides across the internet for doing this, but the majority are low effort and just tell users to edit GRUB.cfg directly, despite the giant "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE" header it has.

A small section for adding (or fixing, many Distro variants just show the icon for their parent Distro) icons for regular menu entries could be really helpful for new users, and make it more likely for them to stumble upon this page in general while searching.

Is there a way to translate on the fly a song into a format that grub can understand ?

This may be unique to my system but for me mentioning the width first works better.
I have a 1080p screen and entered this to my grub config: GRUB_GFXMODE=1080x1920x32. As I rebooted the theme was blurry and not in fullhd. I changed "GRUB_GFXMODE=1080x1920x32" to "GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080x32" because you mention the width first in programming. After rebooting the resolution is perfect.
I think "GRUB_GFXMODE=[height]x[width]x32" has to be "GRUB_GFXMODE=[width]x[height]x32".
It could be because I use linux arch and have weird nvidia drivers. Sorry for my bad english. Anyways, it still helped my to find the right setting.

Simple example for a modified GRUB menu. In the moment os-prober can't deliver all possible OS in your system due to security restrictions. This is a possible way to get around and not in harms way. I use /@/boot/vmlinuzand /@/boot/initrd.img as links, because if a kernel update is needed, everything points correctly to the latest (updated) version.
