# Installation
## Installation via Grub Customizer
In order to clone repository from Github you have to install `git` package
Alternatively you can download zip package - **Code -> Download ZIP**
#### Clone the repository
You can clone repository or go to [release page](https://github.com/AdisonCavani/distro-grub-themes/releases) and download a single theme
```
git clone https://github.com/AdisonCavani/distro-grub-themes.git
```
### Install Grub Customizer
**Warning**: ``grub-customizer`` is not available on Ubuntu 21.10 and above. See [#56](https://github.com/AdisonCavani/distro-grub-themes/issues/56). You should [install it manually](#manual-installation)
Apt
```
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grub-customizer
```
Pacman
```
sudo pacman -S grub-customizer
```
Dnf
**WARNING**: Grub Customizer DOES NOT WORK on recent Fedora releases without extensive modification. [Manually installing](#manual-installation) a GRUB theme is much more secure and hassle free
```
Use at own risk.
sudo dnf install grub-customizer
```
Eopkg
```
sudo eopkg install grub-customizer
```
### Install pre-made theme with Grub Customizer
- Open Grub Customizer
- Go to **Appearance settings** tab
- Select _Custom resolution_ and type in your resolution. E.g: 1920x1080
- Press _Add theme_ button, go to your directory, where you have cloned repository. In my case `/home/adison/distro-grub-theme`
- Select your theme located in `/themes` directory
- Save changes
### Install custom-made theme with Grub Customizer
- Edit your theme located in `/customize` folder
- With your file manager, inside edited theme directory, select all files and **create archive** with .tar or .tar.xz extension
- Open Grub Customizer
- Go to **Appearance settings** tab
- Enable _Custom resolution_ checkbox and select your resolution or type it in manually. E.g: 1920x1080
- Press _Add theme_ button, go to your directory, where you have cloned repository. In my case `/home/adison/distro-grub-theme`
- Change view settings from _Archive files_ to **All files**
- Select your archive
- Save changes
## Manual Installation
In order to clone repository from Github you have to install `git` package
Alternatively you can download zip package - **Code -> Download ZIP**
#### Clone the repository
You can clone repository or go to [release page](https://github.com/AdisonCavani/distro-grub-themes/releases) and download a single theme
```
git clone https://github.com/AdisonCavani/distro-grub-themes.git
```
#### Create themes directory
```
sudo mkdir /boot/grub/themes
or
sudo mkdir /boot/grub2/themes
```
#### Edit or use pre-made theme
```
cd distro-grub-themes/customize
```
#### Copy theme
Theme must be unpacked (in folder)
```
sudo cp -r / /boot/grub/themes
or
sudo cp -r / /boot/grub2/themes
```
#### Edit Grub config
You can use your favourite text editor
```
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
```
Uncomment this line and set your resolution:
```
GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080
```
Make sure ``GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"`` line is disabled!
At the end of file add theme path:
```
GRUB_THEME="/boot/grub/themes//theme.txt"
or
GRUB_THEME="/boot/grub2/themes//theme.txt"
```
### Note:
- **Replace "" with selected theme's name.**
- **To check what name your distro has given the GRUB folder, run:**
```
ls /boot | grep -i -w 'grub\|grub2'
```
Ctrl+O to save, Ctrl+X to exit
#### Update Grub config
You will need to tell Grub to update its configuration to include the new theme.
##### Ubuntu and Debian-based systems:
```
sudo update-grub
```
##### Fedora, Arch & Other Linux distros:
To find out whether you have a BIOS or UEFI system, run the following command in a terminal:
```
inxi -M | grep -i 'UEFI\|BIOS'
```
If you have a BIOS system, run:
```
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /etc/grub.cfg
or
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2.cfg
```
If you have a UEFI system, run:
```
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2.cfg && sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2-efi.cfg && sudo grub2-mkconfig /etc/grub2-efi.cfg
```
**WARNING:These commands have only been tested on Arch and Fedora UEFI. If you are able to install a GRUB theme using these commands successfully, please add your distro's name here.**
## Install theme in Ventoy
Extract `Ventoy.tar` to `/ventoy/theme` directory
Locate `ventoy.json` file in `/plugin/ventoy/` directory and change:
```
"file": "/ventoy/theme/blur/theme.txt",
```
to
```
"file": "/ventoy/theme/Ventoy/theme.txt",
```
