Tasty Grubs 🪲

A collection of GRUB2 themes.

Installation (Themes)

Clone this repository, then open up /etc/default/grub and set the GRUB_THEME= line to GRUB_THEME=/path/to/theme/directory/you/want/theme.txt for example GRUB_THEME=/boot/grub/themes/amogus/theme.txt The path must be to the theme.txt not the directory. I would recommend moving the themes you want from this repository into /boot/grub/themes

After this make sure to run update-grub and you're good to go!

Note: you may need to tweak the values (for example left and top in the theme.txt of the themes as these were built for 640x480 resolution.

Installation (GRUB init tunes)

To use one of the GRUB init tunes (see themes/tunes.md for a list) simply edit the GRUB_INIT_TUNE= line of /etc/default/grub to whatever tune you desire, for example GRUB_INIT_TUNE="500 262 2 311 2 349 2 370 2 349 2 311 2 262 5 233 1 294 1 262 2"

Troubleshooting

You may need to tweak the theme file if your screen resolution means the text is in the wrong place. This is as simple as editing the left and top attributes in the + boot_menu and + label sections in the corresponding theme.txt file for the theme you are using.
