Description:

A minimalistic GRUB theme inspired by Breeze, the default style for Plasma 5 / KDE Frameworks.

# Installation
Copy the "breeze" directory to a location GRUB can access it. The standard path is /usr/share/grub/themes/, but if your installing this theme in an encrypted system, you might prefer to copy this package content to /boot and set your GRUB configuration file accordingly.

Edit /etc/default/grub, making sure this line (or a variant of it) exists:

GRUB_THEME="/usr/share/grub/themes/breeze/theme.txt"

And then run:

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Last changelog:

* Added extra sizes for font and background
* Default font size and color changes
* Updated icons: memtest, hard drive
* New icons: Windows 7, Ubuntu GNOME, encrypted drive, Pop!_OS

Like smile96, zoomed and pixelated, seems to be the font. I change the number in the theme.txt to "Hack 12" but doesn't seem to make a difference, do I need to do something else? I know you probably not working on this anymore but any hints would be appreciated. This grub theme looks great!

Excellent theme. I edited grub.cfg to add several --class to get the icons I wanted for bios and "More Options" and added Shutdown and Reboot with classes to 40_custom. So everything looks great, but I'm worried I'm a kernel update away from having to hack it all over again. Is there any persistent place I can but the additional icon classes?

Thanks for the work!

I have my Memtest applications in a "Advanced Options" subdirectory, and the memtest icons included in this theme don't show up on them, even though the icons for the advanced Ubuntu options show up. Also, could you possibly add a way to show an icon on the "Advanced Options" folder?

Hello, ccreativecnd

All you need to do is add the "--class" option. For instance, I have two options to shutdown and reset the PC. I created the /etc/grub.d/40_custom with the content:

menuentry "Power Off" --class shutdown {
echo "System shutting down..."
halt
}

menuentry "Reboot" --class reboot {
echo "System is rebooting..."
reboot
}

Let me try to explain the way I got it working for Ubuntu 18.10. I first had a lot of problems, but finally I managed to succeed. So let's start!

1) Download the theme from the 'files' tab on this website
2) Open your download folder and right click the installed theme and press 'extract here'
3) Open the new folder created by step 2. Once you are in here, right click a blank space and press 'open in terminal'
4) type the following commands: `chmod +x install.sh` and then 'sudo ./install.sh'
5) Then you have to enter your password and a message will appear saying that you should change a thing starting with 'Grub theme...'. You will need to enter y to continue. Then you will get a screen with some variables as 'grub default=0' ...
6) You will now need to navigate using the arrows on your keyboard to the line under the last command and there you need to type this command: 'GRUB_THEME=/boot/grub/themes/breeze/theme.txt'
7) Last, you will need to press 'ctrl + x' on your keyboard to save the changes. I also believe you will have to press enter after this step.
8) Now you will get a message saying: 'Successful, restart your system' That's it! You're done!

Might be a good idea to add the plasma 5.14 background.

Thanks for the grub theme but I have 1 question. After I select what I want to boot I get a "rectangle with a grey interior" covering most of the screen. Is this what is supposed to happen? Should anything appear within the rectangle? I am running ubuntu 18.04. Thanks.

When I tried installing it, I got an error:
exception '9Exception'
with message 'themefile breeze/icons/deepin.png not found!
in /build/grub-customizer-hZVPvY/grub-customizer-5.0.6/src/main/../Bootstrap/../Model/Theme.hpp:152
I don't know if this is GRUB Customizer, or this just don't work.
I have the option to continue, but I might risk data loss.
Also, when I tried to set it as the theme, I got an error:
"theme.txt not found. Please find the themes config file and rename it as theme.txt!"
I noticed it was in a subdirectory and moved it. Did I do something wrong?

In order to use this theme, all you have to do is copy/move the directory that contains this theme to /usr/share/grub/themes/, then edit /etc/default/grub as follows:

GRUB_THEME="/usr/share/grub/themes/starfield/theme.txt"

And re-generate grub.cfg to apply the changes (in most cases, "grubcfg -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg" is more than enough). If configuring the theme was successful, you will see Found theme: /usr/share/grub/themes/starfield/theme.txt in the terminal.

The error you're getting is when building the program you mentioned.

I'm using Ubuntu 17.04, by the way, and there is no /themes/starfield/theme.txt. Should I make one?

Sorry if it seems like I'm spamming, but I got an error when I tried to emulate it using grub-emu:
error: can't find command 'hwmatch'
error: disk hd0,msdos5' not found.
It's probably because I'm using grub-emu, right?
The theme didn't show up either.

You should add a Windows 7/Vista/XP logo.
I dual-boot Ubuntu and Vista.
