Patch GRUB entries
There are some limitations to what a GRUB theme can do. By default, some GRUB entries have really long names and no icons (e.g. os-prober entries and Advanced options). To change this, we need to edit some GRUB scripts located in /etc/grub.d/. Run patch_entries.sh to apply some changes automatically.
Patching manually
Read the wiki.
Customizing
There is a quick guide on how to customize this theme further in the wiki (note: no .fig file is available with this theme)
