Installation / update

  • Clone this repository and move to the directory:

    git clone https://github.com/Terofale/outer-wilds-grub-theme
    cd outer-wilds-grub-theme
    
  • Review the install.sh script and run it

    bash install.sh
    
  • Optional: edit the boot menu entries to make it centered horizontally and add the selectors (it should look like "⠀⠀⠀>Name<")

    • either edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg manually or use the renameEntries.sh script
    • I partially vibecoded the renameEntries script, my bash knowledge is too limited to do it on my own so if you don't trust it just edit the grub.cfg manually
  • You might also want to edit /boot/grub/themes/outer-wilds-grub-theme/theme.txt to center the menu vertically

    • Do this by modifying the number added to the top attribute of the boot_menu component

You can use --lang option to select language and disable interactive language selection, e.g.:

bash install.sh --lang French   

Full list of languages see in INSTALLER_LANGS variable in install.sh


Uninstallation

run the uninstall.sh script

bash uninstall.sh
