This is a theme for the BURG bootloader.

Make sure you have BURG installed before attempting to install this theme.

BURG homepage: http://code.google.com/p/burg/

========================================
Installation:

*Note: the instructions in the README are out of date. This will be corrected in the next release. Follow the install instructions on this page*

Extract files, then run:

sudo cp -r /*pathto*/Fortune-BURG-v03/fortune /boot/burg/themes/

*pathto* will be the directory which you downloaded the file to. Alternatively, you can use your file manager with root permissions.

Then, refresh BURG:

sudo update-burg

Finally, run the following to test and set your theme:

sudo burg-emu
========================================

Icons come from the Faenza icon theme: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Faenza?content=128143

Currently, icons are provided for the following Distro's:

-Ubuntu
-Fedora
-Debian
-OpenSUSE
-Mandriva
-Linux MINT
-Arch
-Gentoo
-Sabayon
-PCLOS
-Slackware
-FreeBSD

Windows and Apple Icons are also available. Distributions not on this list will fallback to BURG defaults. I am working on creating the missing icons though.

Hey are you active at all? Looking to modify this theme but need to move the operating system selector on the screen, not sure how to go about it.

Hi,

The theme looks great and I'm eager to run it, but the link is broken so I can't download it :(. I would happily provide a mirror for this theme if you'd like.

Shoot... erm, yeah, I could do with a copy myself as my site I was using for hosting seems to have deleted my file =| So either you can mirror it and ill append the link or Ill just grab a copy and host it somewhere more... reliable xD

Looks like that wont be neccesary. I grabbed a copy off the repo for Burg Manager, and I'm now hosting it on my Dropbox. Thanks for the offer of help though!

First of all: thanks a lot for the theme, is really cute and elegant.

Can you add the Trisquel GNU/Linux icon?
Like this, for example:

After much annoyance, I was able to add a Trisquel icon.

Steps:

Download the icons:
http://www.mediafire.com/?4a56ya8me5niu7p

Extract the tar to /boot/burg/themes/fortune/icons/ (Probably as sudo)

In /boot/burg/themes/fortune/icons/, edit the hover file and add:
-trisquel { image = "$$/grey_trisquel.png:$$/large_trisquel.png"
to the list.

Do sudo update-burg and you should have it. :)

Hopefully, I'll save someone the past couple hours of annoyance that I've had with doing that.

The line should be:
-trisquel { image = "$$/grey_trisquel.png:$$/large_trisquel.png" }

I'm multibooting on my netbook to see which O/S suits my needs best.

I'd love to see icons for JoliCloud and MeeGo. :)

Hey, i have burg installed on my ubuntu machine. After extracting your files.. when I enter
"sudo cp - r/home/aryaman/Themes/FortuneBurgTheme/Fortune-BURG/fortune /boot/burg/themes/"
with "/home/aryaman/Themes/FortuneBurgTheme"
as the directory which the files are extracted to. But the terminal gives me an error saying
"cp: cannot stat `/home/aryaman/Themes/FortuneBurgTheme/Fortune-BURG/fortune': No such file or directory"

Could someone please help me and show me where I have gone wrong?
