How to change grub black screen

I'm using dual boot Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon and Windows XP. So I want change grub2 black screen and I've tried to install gfxmenu theme for grub but it is not working; I see it's not installed in grub but in boot directory. I've tried also grub-customizer tool but it also does not work. ftp://cathbard.com/binary/cathbard-grub-mint-ladder_0.0.1-1_all.deb Above link is a file of grub ladder that I've installed.
