This comment box didn't preserve my linefeeds. Essentially, I made sure that both GRUB_FONT and GRUB_THEME were each on their own line.

In Mint 20, I got this error when installing: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of `/boot/grub/unicode.pf2GRUB_THEME=/boot/grub/themes/darkmatter/theme.txt'. No path or device is specified. ... and I fixed it by editing: /etc/default grub and at the bottom, changing this: GRUB_FONT="/boot/grub/unicode.pf2"GRUB_THEME="/boot/grub/themes/darkmatter/theme.txt" to this: GRUB_FONT="/boot/grub/unicode.pf2" GRUB_THEME="/boot/grub/themes/darkmatter/theme.txt" ... and then rerunning: sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Hello, is it possible to install it on Ventoy? If so, is there an explanation on how to do it?

ghost-black

Hi yunookami, sorry but right now it's not compatible with ventoy, but it will be sometime in the future :)

10 Running a machine with multiple distros, would you consider OEM Grub themes? If so, I'd love to have the machine boot into a Razer theme on my work PC or a Dell theme for my personal laptop. Either way, nice theme! Thanks.

ghost-black

Yeah sure I would love to do that, I have tight schedule right now so yeah you can expect that in the future (in few months probably)

GRUB

How to install a grub theme:

  1. Extract the theme to /boot/grub/themes/

  2. Edit /etc/default/grub file. Find the line starting with "#GRUB_THEME" and change it to "GRUB_THEME=/boot/grub/themes/[THEME_FOLDER]/[theme.txt]" (replace [THEME_FOLDER] ; [theme.txt] is probably OK ; remove "[]" brackets)

  3. Run sudo update-grub
