/rEFInd-minimal-dark-da

A fork of the stunningly clean theme by Evan Purkhiser for rEFInd.

Minimalistic Dark rEFInd Theme

Forked for my own use. You can use it too, but at YOUR OWN RISK!

rEFInd is a simplistic boot manager for UEFI based systems. This is a dark, clean, minimal theme for it.

rEFInd Minimalistic


Installation

  1. Clone this git to a place where you can change the files easily. So, for example, your Downloads directory.

  2. Find your rEFInd directory. It should be one of these:

  • /boot/EFI/refind
  • /boot/efi/EFI/refind
  • /boot/EFI/BOOT
  • /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT

If yours is not in this list don't freak out, just pretend it is.

The one used in these files and example is /boot/EFI/refind, so pay attention in case yours is different.

  1. Open your terminal in the directory with README.md.

  2. Do sudo blkid to see the PARTUUID of your root partition and change it in put.conf. If you don't have intel-ucode.img in your ESP, remove it from the options of each entry too.

  3. Make sure everything in the put.conf and theme/theme.conf files is correct for what you want (The default menu entries are disabled by default, so if you're using them, enable them).

  4. MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS RIGHT!

  5. Do su.

  6. Do cp -r theme /boot/EFI/refind.

  7. Do cat put.conf >> /boot/EFI/refind/refind.conf.

  8. Do exit. You're done.


Example

Here's the example menu entry configuration that comes in put.conf (They're all disabled for safety).

menuentry "Arch" {
	icon /EFI/refind/theme/icons/os_arch.png
	loader /vmlinuz-linux
	initrd /initramfs-linux.img
	options "resume=PARTUUID=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX root=PARTUUID=YYYYYYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYYYYYYYYYY rw initrd=/intel-ucode.img quiet loglevel=3"
	disabled
}

menuentry "Arch - CLI" {
	icon /EFI/refind/theme/icons/os_arch_cli.png
	loader /vmlinuz-linux
	initrd /initramfs-linux.img
	options "resume=PARTUUID=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX root=PARTUUID=YYYYYYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYY-YYYYYYYYYYYY rw initrd=/intel-ucode.img systemd.unit=multi-user.target"
	disabled
}

menuentry "Windows 10" {
	icon /EFI/refind/theme/icons/os_win.png
	loader /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
	disabled
}

Entries that are autodetected should also show the proper icons.

If you want a terminal icon in some of the entries, you have to add _cli just before the dot on the icon of a menu entry, like so:

menuentry "Arch - CLI" {
   icon /EFI/refind/theme/icons/os_arch_cli.png

This doesn't work with the Mac and Windows icons.
