rEFInd is an easy to use boot manager for UEFI based systems. This is a clean and minimal theme for it.
-
Locate your refind EFI directory. This is commonly
/boot/EFI/refind
though it will depend on where you mount your ESP and where rEFInd is installed.fdisk -l
andmount
may help. -
Create a folder called
themes
inside it, if it doesn't already exist -
Clone this repository into the
themes
directory. -
To enable the theme add
include themes/rEFInd-minimal/theme.conf
at the end ofrefind.conf
.
Here's an example menuentry configuration (from the screenshot)
menuentry "Arch Linux" {
icon /EFI/refind/themes/rEFInd-minimal/icons/os_arch.png
loader vmlinuz-linux
initrd initramfs-linux.img
options "rw root=UUID=dfb2919d-ff78-48db-a8a7-23f7542c343a loglevel=3"
}
menuentry "Windows" {
icon /EFI/refind/themes/rEFInd-minimal/icons/os_win.png
loader /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
}
menuentry "OSX" {
icon /EFI/refind/themes/rEFInd-minimal/icons/os_mac.png
loader /EFI/Apple/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
}
Entries that are autodetected should also show the proper icons.
If you find the background looks blurry it may be due to the included wallpaper
being an incorrect resolution for your monitor. You can download the original
high quality wallpaper, resize it as appropriate, and replace the
background.png
.
You can of course also choose your own background!
The OS icons are from Lightness for burg by SWOriginal.
The background is Minimalist Wallpaper by LeonardoAIanB. Thank you to Padster for locating it!
