You need to replace background.jpg with a large image.

Subject:  [rEFInd-minimal] Background image doesn't fill the background. (#18)

I fell in love with the theme at first site, so I gave it a try. It came out like this on my MacBook Pro Retina:

Why is it like that? Is the retina screen too big? How might we fix it?

I was hoping to just use the theme, not re-make it. Is there a bigger version of that background somewhere?

Yep, checkout the readme.

The background is available on deviantART, in higher quality (2560x1600).

I use that as my background.png since it fits my 2560x1440 monitor.

Sweet, thanks guys. Even the full-size image is too small, but the banner_scale fillscreen setting made it work.

@evanpurkhiser Do you think including banner_scale fillscreen by default would be good? I think a pixelated background would be better than the small unfitted background by default. Plus, that background image isn't the type of image that will look too bad when pixelated anyways since the gradients are subtle and the effect is already a blurry-ish effect to begin with.

Since enough people have asked I'll go ahead and add in that option!
