You can add themes to grub as explained here: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/27617/solved-after-upgrade-to-fedora-19-grub-has-no-theme/
To add background images etc., you'll have to look at external links.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Displays is one of them.
still m boot loader is black screen. here is my grub file details GRUB_TIMEOUT=43 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)" GRUB_DEFAULT=saved GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 vconsole.keymap=us rd.lvm.lv=fedora_localhost/root $([ -x /usr/sbin/rhcrashkernel-param ] && /usr/sbin/rhcrashkernel-param || :) rd.luks=0 vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 rd.lvm.lv=fedora_localhost/swap rhgb quiet" GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true" GRUB_FONT=/boot/grub2/DejaVuSansMono.pf2 GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x960 GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep GRUB_
You could use GRUB_BACKGROUND and set an image in your /etc/default/grub. e.g.
GRUB_BACKGROUND="/boot/grub-splash.tga"
You'll have to place an image that can be used by grub2 at the specified (available at boot) path.
jpg, png, tga are acceptable formats.
Check that your image is RGB and that it's at a sane resolution.
You may use ImageMagick's convert or GIMP to properly forge your background image. Don't forget to update your grub.cfg running grub2-mkconfig after your modifications in /etc/default/grub.
What kind of image have you tried? If your image is "/boot/grub-splash.tga" could you post the output of "file /boot/grub-splash.tga"? Given that you have "GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x960" make sure that your image fits this resolution, and that it does not make use of indexed colours.

Picture? I'm not sure I understand. Do you want to put an image (jpg/png) in the bootloader, or do you want to add another entry to it (windows/linux)?
yes i want to put an image for bootloader.
