Unofficial Razer GRUB Theme

This is a Grand Unified Bootloader Theme (the screen that appears when the computer is booting) for Linux. I use it with Ubuntu 17.10 and Windows 8.1.

For more background and information on how I got my Razer Blade 14" (2015 Model) to dual boot Linux Ubuntu alongside Windows and customization process you can read my articles:

Pseudo Screenshot

I'm working on getting a proper screenshot, but it's basically the screenshot you see below, with the options to choose your drive to boot, a respective Linux / Windows / etc... icon beside them and that's it.

Installation

Simply run the provided install.sh script.

  • Once downloaded open Terminal.
  • Navigate to the folder for the GRUB Theme by typing cd ~/Downloads/grub-theme-razer and hitting enter.
  • Then type sh install.sh and hit enter.
  • The script will run and output descriptive prompts explaining what it's doing and when it's done. If you get any errors that would not be normal and you can report them on GitHub from the Issues tab.

After downloading:

  1. Open Terminal
  2. Navigate to the folder you just downloaded by typing cd ~/Downloads/grub-theme-razer
  3. And execute the installation script by typing sh install.sh.
  4. Then restart the computer.

Roadmap

  • I need to increase the font sizes. However, none of my attempts so far have worked. There doesn't appear to be a dedicated argument in theme.txt to edit that font size.
  • I would also like to center the text options below the Razer icon.
