Debian Theme Blank Pop-up window

[chris-fenning]

Just installed the Debian Theme and upon selecting the OS (Doesn't matter which one), a blank black pop-up window opens up on the screen and within 5 to 8 seconds the OS begins to load. Is there a solution to remove this pop-up window?

Can you show a picture of the issue, I didn't quite get what you meant.

GRUB menu functions and selects everything perfectly fine, this window pops up before the OS loads. Interested in how to make the window go away.

So that's the console window that pops up usually when you select an option, shows the booting and all. I looked around and couldn't actually find a way to remove it, but if you want you can make it less awkward;

Try editing the theme.txt and remove all the terminal-* properties eg:

terminal-font: "Hack Bold 18"
terminal-left: "20%"
terminal-top: "35%"
terminal-width: "60%"
terminal-height: "40%"
terminal-box: "menu_bkg_*.png"

which should force it to be the default theme that is just full screen black console.

It won't be showing much booting sequence cause in most distros the grub file will have a property

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet"

change it to this 

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash"

Don't forget to update grub file afterwards.

Console window also pops up when you click C while on the boot menu, to go back type normal and press Enter

That's all I have, if you do find some other solution do let me know.

Thank you for the help, that did not change much really; however, you helped me come to a far better conclusion. Instead of having a smaller window pop up on the screen for a few seconds, I would prefer to have the screen go completely blank for a few seconds then load to the selected OS. So I simply modified the theme.txt to:

terminal-font: "Hack Bold 18"
terminal-left: "100%"
terminal-top: "100%"
terminal-width: "100%"
terminal-height: "100%"
terminal-box: "menu_bkg_*.png"

This looks so much better and far more natural than before. I tried to removing the quiet splash but found that reducing my GRUB Timeout from 10 seconds to 8 seconds, also reduces the terminal window display time as well... so I kept it on "quiet" and kept the blank screen for the screen load.

Absolutely Love This Theme!!!
Thanks Again!!!
