[Grub2] Ettery theme

Ettery preview AUR package

Ettery is Grub2 theme. This theme is based on

Designed primary for 1920x1080 resolution, but should work for common resolutions as well. (not tested)

For further customization use grub-customizer to add/remove/change/rearrange entry and etc...


Quick install guide

Note: There is install.sh script from original ZorinOS theme that automates install process, but it is not tested with this theme, therefore I recommend manual installation.

Note: If you use Arch Linux or a Arch based distribution you can also install this theme from the AUR.

AUR package is created and maintained by @Lukas1818.

Preparation

Find out supported resolution by your grub.

  • Reboot to grub
  • Open command line by pressing "C"
  • Enter vbeinfo
  • Check for maximum supported resolution. (eg. 1920x1080)

Installation

  • Copy entire Ettery folder to /boot/grub/themes/ sudo cp -r Ettery /boot/grub/themes/

Note: Depending of your distribution it location might be /boot/grub2/themes/ or /grub/themes/

  • Open /etc/default/grub in text editor with root sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

  • Add/change following lines

    GRUB_GFXMODE="1920x1080" #replace with your supported resolution
    GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX="keep"
    GRUB_THEME="/boot/grub/themes/Ettery/theme.txt"
    
  • Save changes in text editor

  • Update grub sudo update-grub

    Note: Depending of your distribution, you might use update-grub2 or grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg , but usualy all 3 commands are the same.

GRUB_THEME="/boot/grub/themes/Ettery/theme.txt"

Update grub to take effect: sudo update-grub
