@omano have you tried to run a QEMU VM with KVM? Could be some setting related to your system. Any way that's an upstream issue, report it there.

For others struggling like me for two days trying to have this work, try the "--no-kvm" parameter, for me it instantly started to open qemu and showed the grub theme preview, without this parameter it simply never opens anything. Example command:

grub2-theme-preview "/home/myuser/Downloads/xxx-theme-master/XXX theme/" --resolution 1680x1050 --no-kvm

@petsam there was a missing dependency, now should be fixed.

It fails in fakeroot running the package() function with this error:

python3 setup.py install --root "/tmp/trizen-user/grub2-theme-preview/pkg/grub2-theme-preview"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/trizen-user/grub2-theme-preview/src/grub2-theme-preview/setup.py", line 5, in <module>
    from setuptools import find_packages, setup
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'setuptools'
make: *** [Makefile:16: install] Error 1

Any ideas?

This PKGBUILD uses git to download the sources but there's no git to download them:
