Arch Linux User Repository

Great project! I'm using the Legion theme on this laptop and it looks actually kind of professional. 👌 And that on a laptop without official Linux support. 😄

Like REmorin says, I believe it might indeed be a good idea to switch away from /boot to /usr/share, next to the default starfield theme installed with GRUB by default.

Not that I personally use a separate /boot partition though, but it's kind of a good point.

Although the only reason I can think about it that you want GRUB to be able to write to the file system involved, so that you can make it remember the last boot item (grubenv setting), otherwise GRUB can just read anything on Btrfs.

But I just have my entire GRUB (grub dir with modules and grub.cfg) simply installed in my ESP (where the EFI loader sits as well), because it can write on FAT too, and I made my ESP more than large enough.

@ahmedmoselhi The installation location needs to be changed from /boot/grub/themes/ to /usr/share/grub/themes/, like in other packages:

$ paru -Flq extra/grub-theme-vimix
usr/
usr/share/
usr/share/grub/
usr/share/grub/themes/
usr/share/grub/themes/Vimix/
usr/share/grub/themes/Vimix/background.jpeg
...
$ paru -Flq garuda/grub-theme-garuda
usr/
usr/share/
usr/share/grub/
usr/share/grub/themes/
usr/share/grub/themes/garuda/
usr/share/grub/themes/garuda/background.png
...

For users with /boot as separate partition, it unnecessarily takes up its space. /boot/grub/themes/ is for manual install only, without the package manager.

Hi, There are some new upstream variants such as Asus ROG and Asus TUF. Do you mind packing them as well? Thanks.

@risto3 could be network issue , for me it builds and installed fine

When updating aur/grub-theme-endeavouros 3.2-1 -> 3.3-1, I get the following:

Appears that updpkgsums should be run on the package after bumping the revision prior to committing.

Yeah, it is a bit annoying to install all of the packages, what is the purpose of having multiple packages then?

There has been a typo on the source function

"grub-theme-mint.tar::https://github.com/AdisonCavani/distro-grub-themes/releases/download/v${pkgver}/acer.tar"
"grub-theme-msi.tar::https://github.com/AdisonCavani/distro-grub-themes/releases/download/v${pkgver}/mint.tar"
"grub-theme-mx.tar::https://github.com/AdisonCavani/distro-grub-themes/releases/download/v${pkgver}/msi.tar"

Further note, I would like you to change the way these packages are running, instead of downloading all of it tar packages, why don't you just download the one that matches the name of this AUR package, then the installation time will improve significantly. This small typo I think it also applies to other grub-theme-<prefix> AUR packages
