[Grub2] Ettery theme

Ettery is Grub2 theme. This theme is based on

• ZorinOS grub2 theme (code)
• Vimix by vinceliuice (icons)

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
• Open command line by pressing "C"
• Enter vbeinfo
• Check for maximum supported resolution. (eg. 1920x1080)

Installation

Note: Depending of your distribution it location might be /boot/grub2/themes/ or /grub/themes/

• Open /etc/default/grub in text editor with root sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

• Add/change following lines

  GRUB_GFXMODE="1920x1080" #replace with your supported resolution
  GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX="keep"
  GRUB_THEME="/boot/grub/themes/Ettery/theme.txt"
  

• Save changes in text editor

  Note: Depending of your distribution, you might use update-grub2 or grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg , but usualy all 3 commands are the same.
