What a fantastic work especially for a layman like me! Very much appreciated and thank you. I have been following your series for a considerably long time now and have learnt a great dealt each time. Cheers...
What a coincidence, i am just searching for bootloader themes today ,and I thought you may made that already and searched in Google ,from your website I installed. After installing new themes watching this video
I love this. I HATE default grub. Its so uninspiering. But I've never had the time to play with themes. At least now I can get a theme in place that looks decent
I tried this script on Fedora 33. It installed correctly and updated the grub file with the selected theme. When I rebooted my machine, the grub menu appears but no theme is applied. Any thoughts on what the issue could be?
Interesting chris, what is fun is showing off my laptop to those that have no idea about linux or kde with custom everything and kwin just blows many of their minds. How do you do that is the usual response. Actually I've had quite a few that switch to Linux just on eye candy
Cool video and very nice work, Chris! I have one question. Is it possible to create animated backgrounds for themes? Like a matrix symbols behind of you for example
Excellent video. One question, which window manager and theme are you using in this video. I thought your system was really beautiful and wanted to replicate it on my machine. :)
I have a some OS installs on external drives. Is there anyway to customize GRUB so that it recognizes those and changes the bootloader based on what you have plugged in? Thanks as always. Your videos are such a treat =)
Hi brother hope u r doing well. I followed your tutorial and it worked like a charm on linux mint. I am considering switching to kali linux. So i want to ask will this tutorial work for kali linux as kali has it's own grub bootloader theme by default..... Once again thanks mate really appreciated your efforts.
When I start grub customizer I can only see two entries: Windows and Bios setup, no linux entry at all. I have dual boot with Windows 11 and Fedora 36 installed on different drives. GRUB is supposed to be installed on the drive Fedora is installed. Themes dont apply at all either even following all steps. There is something I might have done wrong and I dont know what it is.
That was great, can I request a similar video for icons and themes? I’ve downloaded & installed many themes & icons but they don’t seem to appear in gnome tweaks.
Is there an easy way to get Arch Linux with desktop environment? It seems that most Arch installers install only with terminal. I am using Kali Linux right now, and considering a replacement for it, as I really like Arch. Great video!
I like these and will keep these in mind if I ever do a true multiboot again on my computer, but I am actually looking for a boot loader like this in iso format to put on my Ventoy flash drive, so that I can opt to boot into my primary windows partition on my internal drive after playing around with different types of Linux Live Discs. I do like the look of Vimix.
Great job on scripting!!! Good choice of themes too. After rebooting it would not load the the image complained server not found or something like that found out that the automated script conflicted with my setup so i am sure its just my setup with the options i have set for grub. Great job though.
Absolutely amazing job and you made it so easy and hustle free just a bunch of terminal lines and done thank you so much. Could you please in the future add more themes ?
👌 thanks for that, Chris! I've never tried, because I have the grub hidden since I have windows on a separate SSD and rarely go there (if I need, I just hit F8 to select where to boot from on the motherboard). But is nice to know, if I ever want to change kernels, how to make it look cool!
Hi Chris...great vid....love my new bootloader (cyberpunk) however i have my pc hooked up to my 65" tv...i am sotting quite farther away than normal. Is there anyway i can make the icons and weiting larger?
@@shanthoshravi5073 yeah just use the powerlevel10k theme I just mentioned it provides the arch logo , you would need a nerd font though so something like mononoki nerd font should be your terminal font for icon to work properly
Hello, just found your channel. This is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to ask though - I have a dual boot machine at home that has windows 7 and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on it. They are on logical partitions. I use a windows boot manager since some people using that machine are familiar with it and I want to keep it as such. So the way it works is it pulls up the windows bootloader and gives and option for windows and linux. On selecting linux it goes to the grub menu. I want to change the appearance of the grub menu. If I apply these themes or change the background image through grub customizer by picking one from my system (and then clicking install to MBR), will either of these wreak havoc on my windows Boot manager? Or does the system have to boot in Grub menu for this to be functional?
I didn't touch the bootloader since 2 years because i don't want to brick it xD but now i want to check, if my backup covers that and try out some themes :D
Anyone know else with EFI having trouble getting the themes to load. Seems no matter what theme I load it goes back to the default grub. Everything appears to be installed properly. I read on mint forums the .cfg file should also be edited to include the "GRUB_THEME=" line but that didn't work for me either. Running Mint 20.
CyberRE reminds me so much of the interface on HAL9000, the sentient computer at the heart of 2001: A Space Odyssey. I've named all my main machines after HAL. Guess what grub theme I am running? :) Thank you.
I'm going to install this because I like 4 of the 5 options but what about grub updates? Will they interfere with this? I'm running Manjaro & Linux Mint on one hard drive and have Parrot on the other. I'm guessing I'll have to install this on both hard drives (not a big deal, thanks for making this at least appear easy)...
Manjaro doesn't have grub customiser. They even removed it from the package manager so you can't install it. Something about incompatibility due to a modified grub.
The thing I love is, he tells exactly what the script does.
Agreed, I prefer to read everything first so I can properly understand how it works
true that. as someone who has just started to explore ricing the explanation helps.

That Shodan theme is esoteric in the best way possible.
That Shodan one is sick. Over the last month or so, I've seen so much System Shock news, and I'm getting really hyped for that remake.
I want a Windows boot splash that animates my files moving over to a bunch of NSA agents to look at.
Didn't know about Grub customizer at all so I learned something today! Cool stuff...thanks Chris!
Linux is awesome. You can configure everything.
And you WILL configure everything!
always ... from boot to BSPWM and your terminal and your NeoVim ... it is customize to perfection ....

Thanks for making! Still works perfectly in 2022.
You are a legend, I'm just trying out install Zorin OS on my Mac 2011 just to give some extra life. Thanks a million Chris.
This is great, thank you! I got so bored of the default GRUB menu. Linux is so much fun!
I really like the new cyberpunk theme. Great and easy tutorial still working great with ubuntu 22.04

Great video, I love the Shodan theme.
This is the kind of stuff that Linux users normally would never code because they don't like comfort.
Thumbs up to that.
this is awesome man. love it this deserves way more hype
Thank You Chris, I’m gonna check these themes once i get free time 🥳
This was a very friendly guide, thanks! I can just send this to my Linux beginner friends without having to do anything myself 😃
Dude!! Thanks!! I can’t wait to give this a try on my Pop install.
I love this. I HATE default grub. Its so uninspiering. But I've never had the time to play with themes. At least now I can get a theme in place that looks decent
Nice, i was looking forward to this video! Realy nice!
I was on your website and ran across this. How on earth did I miss this video?!
Cyberpunk theme is so clean 🔥
The monitor behind him looks dope 👽🦄

Thanks for making script ❤
Thanks Chris! I will check these out!
Just what I've been looking for. Thanks!
Hey Chris, big fan of your channel. I would like to say, genius, thanks.

Which terminal emulator are you using that integrates with your desktop so seamlessly?
I love that when you operate on different linux distribution and just running ./install does not work and you are trying for 5+ to figure it out :D
Hey, how did you get your terminal to look like that? It looks pretty cool.
