# Installation
|
|
|
|
## Installation via GRUB Customizer
|
|
|
|
In order to clone the repository from GitHub, you have to install Git, via the `git` package <br>
|
|
Alternatively, you can download a zip archive by clicking on **Code** then **Download ZIP**
|
|
|
|
#### Clone the repository
|
|
|
|
You can clone the repository or go to the [release page](https://github.com/AdisonCavani/distro-grub-themes/releases) and download a single theme.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
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), instead.<br><br>
|
|
|
|
apt
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
|
sudo apt-get install grub-customizer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
pacman
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo pacman -S grub-customizer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
dnf<br>
|
|
|
|
**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 your own risk.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo dnf install grub-customizer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
eopkg
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo eopkg install grub-customizer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Install a pre-made theme with GRUB Customizer
|
|
|
|
- Open GRUB Customizer
|
|
- Click on the **Appearance settings** tab
|
|
- Select _Custom resolution_ and select or type in your resolution, e.g 1920x1080
|
|
- Press the _Add theme_ button, then navigate to the directory where you cloned the repository; in my case `/home/adison/distro-grub-themes`
|
|
- Select your theme located in the `/themes` directory
|
|
- Save the changes
|
|
|
|
### Install a custom-made theme with GRUB Customizer
|
|
|
|
- Edit your theme located in the `/customize` folder
|
|
- With your file manager, inside the modified theme's directory, select all files and create an archive with .tar or .tar.xz format
|
|
- Open GRUB Customizer
|
|
- Click on the **Appearance settings** tab
|
|
- Enable _Custom resolution_ and select or type in your resolution, e.g 1920x1080
|
|
- Press the _Add theme_ button, then navigate to the directory where you cloned the repository; in my case `/home/adison/distro-grub-themes`
|
|
- Change the _Archive files_ setting to **All files**
|
|
- Select your archive
|
|
- Save the changes
|
|
|
|
#### Note:
|
|
KDE Neon's default theme is set in a separate file that overrides any theme changes you make. Run the following to disable the default GRUB theme:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo rm /etc/default/grub.d/99_breeze-grub.cfg
|
|
sudo update-grub
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To revert back to the orignal KDE Neon theme, open GRUB Customizer, and in the Appearance settings tab, change the theme dropdown back to breeze.
|
|
|
|
## Manual Installation
|
|
|
|
In order to clone the repository from GitHub, you have to install Git, via the `git` package <br>
|
|
Alternatively, you can download a zip archive by clicking on **Code** then **Download ZIP**
|
|
|
|
#### Clone the repository
|
|
|
|
You can clone the repository, or go to the [release page](https://github.com/AdisonCavani/distro-grub-themes/releases) and download a single theme.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git clone https://github.com/AdisonCavani/distro-grub-themes.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Create the themes directory
|
|
To create the themes directory, replace `BOOT_GRUB_LOCATION` with the directory where GRUB is located.<br>
|
|
Usually it's /boot/grub or /boot/grub2 but some distributions have a different one, so you'll have to figure it out.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo mkdir BOOT_GRUB_LOCATION/themes
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Edit or use a pre-made theme
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
cd distro-grub-themes/customize
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Copy theme
|
|
|
|
The theme must be unpacked inside a folder before you can copy it.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo cp -r <theme_name>/ BOOT_GRUB_LOCATION/themes
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Edit GRUB config
|
|
|
|
You can use your favourite text editor for this. Here, we use nano.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Uncomment this line and set your display resolution:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Make sure ``GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console"`` is commented out!
|
|
|
|
At the end of the file, add the path of your theme:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
GRUB_THEME="BOOT_GRUB_LOCATION/themes/<theme_name>/theme.txt"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Ctrl+O to save, Ctrl+X to exit
|
|
|
|
#### Update Grub config
|
|
|
|
You'll need to tell GRUB to update its configuration in order to include the new theme.
|
|
|
|
##### Ubuntu and Debian-based systems:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo update-grub
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
##### Fedora, Arch & others:
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have a UEFI system, run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo grub-mkconfig -o BOOT_GRUB_LOCATION/grub.cfg
|
|
```
|
|
or
|
|
```
|
|
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o BOOT_GRUB_LOCATION/grub.cfg
|
|
```
|
|
or for Fedora
|
|
```
|
|
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**WARNING: these commands may not work for you. Your GRUB config directory may vary depending on your distribution.**
|
|
|
|
#### Note:
|
|
KDE Neon's default theme is set in a separate file that overrides any theme changes you make. Run the following to disable the default GRUB theme:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo rm /etc/default/grub.d/99_breeze-grub.cfg
|
|
sudo update-grub
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To revert back to the orignal KDE Neon theme, set the `GRUB_THEME` value in `/etc/default/grub` to `/boot/grub/themes/breeze/theme.txt`.
|
|
|
|
## Install theme in Ventoy
|
|
|
|
Extract `Ventoy.tar` to `/ventoy/theme`
|
|
|
|
Locate `ventoy.json` file in `/plugin/ventoy/` directory and change:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
"file": "/ventoy/theme/blur/theme.txt",
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
to
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
"file": "/ventoy/theme/Ventoy/theme.txt",
|
|
```
|
|
|
