![Preview](preview.jpg "Space Isolation GRUB2 Theme Preview")

## Installation

> [!IMPORTANT]

> This theme is a WIP **only supporting 2560x1440 and 1920x1080** resolutions. It will not look optimal on different resolutions. Feel free to add support for your resolutions using [this contribution guide](CONTRIBUTING.md).

1. Download the Space Isolation theme from [releases](https://github.com/callmenoodles/space-isolation/releases) or [Pling](https://www.pling.com/p/2296342/) for your resolution.

2. Rename the directory to `space-isolation`

3. Copy the directory you renamed `space-isolation` to `/boot/grub/themes`

    ```

    # cp -r /path/to/space-isolation /boot/grub/themes

    ```

4. Edit `/etc/default/grub` (as a superuser)

    - Set `GRUB_THEME=` TO `/boot/grub/themes/space-isolation/theme.txt`

    - Make sure `GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="gfxterm"`

    - Set `GRUB_GFXMODE=` to your resolution (e.g. `1920x1080`) and uncomment it 

5. Update GRUB

    - Arch Linux

        ```

        # grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

        ```

    - Fedora

        ```

        # grub2-mkconfig -o "$(readlink -e /etc/grub2.conf)"

        ```

    - OpenSUSE

        ```

        # update-bootloader

        ```

    - Ubuntu/Debian, Void Linux

        ```
