[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

  • Check for maximum supported resolution. (eg. 1920x1080)
