  • Colors: Adjust colors for selected/unselected menu items and more.

Troubleshooting

  • If you encounter issues during boot, ensure that the paths in GRUB_THEME and other settings are correct.
  • Use grub-mkfont to convert TTF/OTF fonts to .pf2 format if you wish to add custom fonts:
    grub-mkfont -s 25 -o custom_font_25.pf2 font.ttf
  • Issues with applying fonts may arise due to secure boot, try turning it off in the BIOS.
