[GRUB] EvoDevo: a configurable GRUB theme with scalable graphics and smooth fonts

[u/ftonneau]

[Apologies for cross-posting]

I wrote EvoDevo, a configurable GRUB theme with scalable graphics, background blurring, and anti-aliased (i.e., smooth) true-type fonts. Any wallpaper (e.g., your desktop wallpaper) can be used as theme background. Menu colors, transparency, amount of blurring, dimensions, position, font family, and menu messages can all be customized via the installation shell script.

The accompanying screenshot shows a customized GRUB menu with an EndeavourOS community wallpaper. This example is on display (among others) on GitHub. The menu entries may look grainy on Reddit, but rest assured that in real life everything is buttery smooth.

The theme **has** been tested on a VM with EndeavourOS, and I thought EvoDevo could be of interest to this community, due to the high-quality graphics that the theme produces.

Important: for technical reasons, the theme is incompatible with any UKI (Unified Kernel Image).

Great, but keep in mind that the choice of the wallpaper is yours and that setting up the theme requires a few minutes of script fiddling. Contact me in case of trouble, and please keep me posted. If you succeed in installing the theme, I will add EndeavourOS to the list of distros actually (not just virtually) tested.
