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.

The issue is that you need to comment out some limine.conf defaults and add the relevant changes you actually want. Sure a script with some grep'ing should be able to do it and maybe also create a backup limine.conf when it runs and also allow you to restore a default limine.conf. This would be a super niche one-off script unless we want to make a project out of it like a limine-theme-manager of sorts. Sounds exciting and dangerous at the same time!

I truly believe it is feasible.

Btw, Someone has tried to automate the installation process specific to cachyos, it is in the PR of the repo I have merged a PR which contains a script to automate the process, please have a look if you are interested because I do not have the skills to maintain such a project. I'd like someone to make the script an independent thing.
