minegrub-theme

A Grub Theme in the style of Minecraft!

How do i install it??

• cd /boot/grub2/themes/ and do git clone https://github.com/Lxtharia/minegrub-theme.git
• change/add this line in your /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_THEME=/boot/grub2/themes/minegrub-theme/theme.txt

• update your live grub config by running sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
• your good to go

Cycling through the splash texts

There are 20 alternative splash texts that can be automatically cycled through with a script:

• Make the script executable with chmod +x ./Cycle/Cycler.sh
• Ensure you're set as the owner of the theme folder. Take ownership if not, with sudo chown *USERNAME* ./
• Set the script to always run on startup with crontab -e and add @reboot /boot/grub2/themes/minegrub-theme/Cycle/Cycler.sh to the bottom of the list.

Important Notes:

• When you have more/less than 4 boot options, you might want to adjust the height of the bottom bar (that says "Options" and "Console")
• The formula is in the theme.txt, so you should be able to easily adjust it.

Notes:

• your grub folder might not be called /boot/grub2/ but only /boot/grub/, in any case, grub should be version 2
• the GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE in the defaults/grub file should be set to menu so it immediately shows the menu (else you would need to press ESC and you dont want that)
• im no linux expert, thats why i explain it so thoroughly, for other newbies :>
• i use arch btw
• i hope u like it, cause i sure do lmao
