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 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 <theme_name>/ /boot/grub/themes
or
sudo cp -r <theme_name>/ /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_name>/theme.txt"
or
GRUB_THEME="/boot/grub2/themes/<theme_name>/theme.txt"

Note:

  • Replace "<theme_name>" 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",
