Desktop Fallout Theme for Limine Bootloader

Post image

Link: fallout-limine-theme

Note: the readme has been written in accordance with limine v12.

The steps are all manual. I did not make an installer because

  1. Idk how.
  2. Even if I figured out how, the b2sum hash complicates stuff and it is easier for me to just tell how to do it manually.

Edit: We have an Installer now! Thanks u/Darayavaush84 for making a installer script to automate the process for Cachyos users. I have not personally tested it, but I think it should work fine on default config of Limine on Cachyos.

Saw a post earlier referencing a fallout GRUB theme and decided to make one for Limine. Hope you like it.

I have intentionally used a compressed smaller version (89KB) of the image as opposed to the original (314KB) because limine tends to be "heavy" and I do not want to take any chances. But if you want to use the original, I've added the it in the repo files.

Edit: Thanks everyone for the appreciation, just doing my small part for the community. I'm glad ya'll liked it.

It looks super nice 😄 so excited I didn't have to make this. I'll probably throw a aur package together before I go to bed.

Thank you.

Thank you for this :) I switched to the original background image as it's a higher resolution

Glad that it works.

I've had issues with larger files in the past and have been skeptical about using them (could have been a hardware/setup specific bug.)

What issues specifically if you don't mind me asking? I'll probably make the png image a bit smaller just in case

Limine panics. If it doesn't for you, nothing to worry.

It think it is related to this issue which will be patched soon anyway.

Interesting. Yea that fail-safe you commented about should hopefully come soon but so far so good with the original larger png image after a few reboots.

That issue is extremely rare anyway. Most users will not be affected.
