Overview

Gorgeous-GRUB is a curated directory of community-made themes for GRUB, the bootloader menu used to select an operating system. It addresses the difficulty of finding worthwhile themes scattered across multiple hosting sites by collecting links and previews in one place.

The repository is useful for browsing and discovering themes, rather than being a single theme or a dedicated installer. Each listing links to its creator or download source, and the project also points to guides for installation and customization.

Key Features

  • Curated listings of GRUB themes from multiple sources.
  • Theme previews displayed alongside links to the original projects or downloads.
  • A broad range of visual styles, including game-inspired, minimalist, and desktop-inspired designs.
  • Links to installation instructions and contribution guidance.
  • References to GRUB theme tutorials, configuration help, and a theme preview tool.
  • Links to a separate community-made script that can download and install many themes.

Use Cases

  • Linux users who want to browse theme options before changing their boot menu.
  • Dual-boot users looking for a more personalized GRUB screen when choosing between systems.
  • Theme creators seeking examples or a way to contribute a theme to a curated collection.
  • Users editing an existing theme who need links to GRUB customization references.

Getting Started

Browse the theme collection and follow a listing's link to its source. For installation steps, see the repository's Installation guide.

Considerations

  • This is a directory and reference collection, not a unified theme package. Installation and support depend on each theme's source.
  • GRUB configuration changes can affect boot behavior, so follow the installation instructions carefully.
  • The README warns that Secure Boot can prevent custom fonts from displaying. It links to guidance for signing font files.
  • The collection includes themes hosted on third-party services, so availability and download instructions may vary.
